And the investigator still seems to be practicing psychiatry in Billings MT. He graduated med school in 1953 (!)

There was some interesting stuff in there. Especially the second to the last paragraph of the article:

Quote:

"Yaney said "When a man saw his wife having intercourse with someone else and enjoying it, he experienced great anxiety, a sense of loss and jealousy. But these feelings were never allowed to get out of control. As a result, these couples actually felt warmer and closer. They have improved the primary relationship."

Is it just me, or is that just effed up? I wonder how they enforced the feelings to "not get out of control" and how did that make a couple feel closer and warmer? I'm so confused!!

I took it to mean that the subjects were able to control their feelings of jealousy to a manageable level, thereby overcoming them. So, it was a matter of self-control, and not a lobotomy or something.

A bit off the subject, but look at those grocery prices in the ad under the story!

During that same period of time my wife's college roommate and her husband were swingers in the Bay area. Where has the time gone?

Topanga Canyon! Oh my gosh! That's my place of nascence and my generation. I wonder what could have become of me if my family had not moved to the Atlantic coast.

I remember back in 74 there was a movie out called Sandstone about this community.... Very interesting to watch it on the big screen in Tuscon AZ.

Based on just the article, I'm having a hard time believing there's any science behind this "experiment". There are a number of questionable assertions in this article alone.
