But at the same time I can't help being annoyed. There's just something more alluring about a person who chose to explore the lifestyle "before it was cool" and didn't need network television to popularize it before it became an option. Kind of like so many college-age girls are now mysteriously "bi-sexual" because it's the hip thing to do.
With swingers it's almost like there's two kinds: The real ones, and the followers.
Sure, none of us invented it... but a person who needed it to be cool on TV before they searched it out for themselves? Kind of like the women who buy fake Chanel and Luis Vuitton in Chinatown. |
I think it far more important that a person be sexy, happy, comfortable and pleasant to be with in bed than how they got there.
Maybe they were influenced by Swingtown. I don't think it matters. The pathway that each of us takes to get here is different, with its own permutations. You didn't get to swinging by the same pathway my wife and I did. I don't think that makes you less or more pure than our approach.
Flip it around a bit...would you want to have sex with a person who didn't think of it first, but instead was introduced to the concept by a friend, and later educated by multiple sources before engaging in sex for the first time or would you rather have sex with a person who was born horny and was thinking about oral sex while sucking on their sippy cup?
I don't think it matters. If the person/couple is a fake, they're a fake. You won't have to know they watched Swingtown to spark their interest in the lifestyle. It'll be apparent without that knowledge.
