Yes, Shoreguy, I coined the word. I'm glad you thing it's cool. So do I. Here's how I arrived at the term, intermarital.
Inter- is a combining form meaning "between or among." For example, "Intercollegiate" means "between colleges." So "intercollegiate sports" are sports played between colleges.
Therefore, "Intermarital sex" means "sex between (or among) marriages." That's what swingers do, for the most part.
Intra- is a combining form meaning "on the inside or within." Thus, "Intramarital sex" would mean sex within a marriage, or monogamy.
Extra- is a combining form meaning "not coming within its scope." So, "extramarital sex" is sex not within the scope of marriage, or cheating.
The three terms have decidedly different meanings.
