We didn't try swinging because it was trendy. We didn't even realize such a "lifestyle" existed. It was fantasies that originated with my husband and we did a bit of research how to possibly meet others. And we, ourselves, aren't poly because it is trendy. We are poly because it came and knocked us on our ass to start with. Then we had to start working through all we've been taught throughout life. Nothing along this poly road has exactly been easy. I wouldn't work so hard for something I felt was just trendy.

I really have to say rpu3 said it best. People will always try some things for the wrong reason.
