I personally don't believe that age is a valid measure of most things including maturity. Life experience should be a determining factor in just about anything but how do you measure that?
We label individuals chronologically and decide what they should and should not be capable of doing. Not every 16 year old should drive and not every 18 year old should vote, unfortunately once the age is attained the responsibility is assumed. No all parents are "grown up" considering the responsibility of parenting.
I don't know an 18 year old who is a swinger but I'm sure there are some out there. I personally don't believe that MOST 18 year olds have the life experience and communication skills that would be required in a swinging relationship but I'm sure it happens.
I have always had an age complex, call it a personal issue. I refuse to be judged by a number. Most people have a preconceived opinion about who should be doing what and when, I like to be the exception. I could not stand being told that I was too young to do something and would go out of my way to prove a point.
Personally I do not see a situation where I would swing with an 18 year old and that has nothing to do with chronological age, I am just physically attracted to men well into their thirtys+. I am always open to meeting the exception though.
