What do you live in?

Is it true most swingers live in mobile homes?

The reason for this poll is that we were talking with some one recently (a vanilla friend) and they brought up swinging. They made the comment that most people they have ever known to claim to be swingers lived in mobile homes. This is not the first time we have heard this comment. This got us to thinking about the friends we have and folks we know and if they live in mobile homes or not.

Oh, and don't feel bad for living a mobile home by any means!

Another myth that the vanilla world has started about swingers. They assume we're all low class, red neck, sex fiends.

Our home is over 3000 sq. ft. with plenty of bedrooms for guests. Come on over ya'll.

Our perception is that most active swingers are pretty affluent, although that percentage may vary from region to region. We own a modest, one-bedroom condo in Colorado, and we feel downright poor compared to some of our swinging friends. Someday, we hope to buy a larger home where we can regularly host house parties.

That's quite possible and becomes more probable as the distance between their residence and large trailer parks decreases. I would expect to find swingers among moble home occupants and just about any other isolated demographic - I just haven't run into any of them yet.

I think most swingers would not casually reveal their secrets to vanilla acquaintenances (outside the trailer park

).

We live in a "real house," but after the discussion about RV couples having fun in their campers, I wonder if we all shouldn't buy a portable love shack. Then, we would all know who are swingers and who are not from the rockin' trailers. No bracelets or other identifiers required.

What a weird comment to make, "all the swingers *I* know live in trailers." Did you ask how many, exactly, did he or she know?

**good times** · 10-11-2007, 05:55 PM

Darnit, the poll wouldn't let me vote twice. We live in a mobile home (Manufactured housing is the politically correct term), and our vacation home has wheels too (travel trailer or RV for the politically correct).

I wouldn't say we are poor, cheap would be more accurate.

ShellyM · 10-11-2007, 06:29 PM

LOL, we do not live in a mobile home. I do not know any swingers who live in mobile homes lol. As a matter of fact, most couples we know own hot tubs and swimming pools lol.

Hey, manufactured homes allow you to get options that are SOOOO expensive than in site built homes. We bought one in 2000, and that things was gorgeous. It had skylights, a garden tub, 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and a fireplace. We would never have been able to afford a site built home like that. We ended up selling it because we were wayyy out in the country, but we sure loved that house.

I saw this thread and couldn't help but think

Really? People think this? They also think that swingers are fundamentally flawed couples with sex addictions and an overbearing, dissatisfied spouse forcing the issue on the victimized other...

As much as I would love for "vanillas" to understand swinging, I accept that it is a concept they can't fully get. Trailers? Whatever...

Who really cares where good people live?

Hey, we have a hot tub, it is that rusty thingy right between the inflatable pool and the stoop couch.

Just kidding, for some reason, that is really funny to me.

Wow....... They hit us right on the dot... We're low class, red necks, and sex fiends... We just live in a huge house in a ritzy golf course development that we used to share with five kids!

Liutas · 10-12-2007, 01:22 PM

We live in a real house. We even own it, or at least, the bank does and lets us have our name on the deed

I do own a trailer, but it's the enclosed cargo variety, used for hauling motorcycles to the track or the mountians.

The only couple we've ever been with also owns their house.

Hey, I resemble that remark! I may be a redneck and I'm proud to say I'm a sex fiend...but I'm not low class, dammit!

des1re06 · 10-12-2007, 02:40 PM

I'm thinking we seriously want to live in an RV (my kid's grandparents travel the country in theirs) when the kids leave home. Does that make us less sexy? I sure don't think so.

As Stevie Ray says, "if the house is a rockin'".....
