Montel is doing a show on swinging. It just started on fox if anyone is on now and wants to watch it.

So tell us about the show?

Flori_DAMAN · 03-23-2003, 03:46 PM

I had to leave before it was done.

They had a couple that are current swingers. She was a cute redhead and he a laid back dude.

They talked to them for a while then put on ex-swingers.

The swinging couple talked about swinging as a sharing of there sexual energy with others in pretty straight forward terms. They were only into FFM's though and put the swinging community across as bi-females for the most part.

The other couple came on and started talking about the fact that after they had kids then they ceased to swing...this brought on great cheers from the audience.

Montel kind of made the swingers look like idiots in my opinion. The ex-swingers though appeared to have a wife-dominant relationship. He talked about swinging as if it were the greatest fun they ever had but she apparently didn't feel the same way.

It was interesting to see how the crowd got riled up with every moralistic viewpoint the ex swinging wife could dish out.

The community is regarded as disease spreading hedonistic, terrible parent types while the ex-swingers are coming across as souls that have been saven by the grace of god.

The usual.

Interesting point. The swingers parents came on and supported them. The mother said at first she was shocked and cried for days. The father said he talked to her rationally and explained that swinging is not wrong, just a lifestyle choice. There were some people clapping and cheering with them, but it looked as if many others wanted to but were afraid to.

Anyhow, now both the mother and father of the swingers accept there way of life and it is a non-issue. Quite interesting anyhow.

I actually saw your post, right after you posted it, and tried to tune in. It wasn't broadcast in our area. Our Fox station had some guy (that I had never heard of) doing a talk show with a topic that had no appeal to me.

Your assesment of the show, (based on what you viewed) I will have to say that it just confirms the reason I do not watch TV anymore. Naturally I will watch my NASCAR races, other than that...American Idol. The rest of TV can just survivie without me!

(The latter is because my children are so involved and now they have me hooked.)

I like the Montel show - most of the time. It's one of the only talk shows I can stand to watch. He usually tries to get guests on both sides of any given topic for a balanced discussion, but then asserts his own view in no uncertain terms.

Usually, I agree with many of the points Montel tries to make on his show. However, the swinging issue is not one of them.

I did not see the show mentioned in the first post, but I did see one a while back where there was only one couple present, and they were in a horrendous situation. The married couple was probably in their 40's or so and had brought in a younger (barely 20?) year old girl to play with. And when I say, brought in, I mean that she actually moved in with them (so right there, this may fall more into the poly thing than swinging, but it was on a show about swinging, so anyway...). The younger girl proceeded to get pregnant by the husband, then start disrespecting the wife. What a great example of "swinging" couples, Montel! Great.

Was this the show that started with swingers and ended in polamorous relationships.

I saw one like that on montel a few weeks ago.

It was pertty good..and it surely didnt show the pretty side of swingers lol.

I have seen very few talk shows that present swinging in a positive light. They look for cheers from the sanctimonious crowd.

What if their spouses liked the idea? Holy shit, they'd stop cheating huh?

Then they would be out of topics cuz that is what most of them are about anyhow...cheating lovers.

Cheating is acceptable and humorous, but swinging is a horrible disease with immoral implications. I truly believe that most people that have marital problems do to cheating should give swinging a try anyhow before hanging up the prenuptial agreement for the attorneys and splitting up the kids.

It just burns my balls when I see a person that has been cheated on begging for forgiveness and the crowd saying OK OK he/she just made a mistake......now you OWN him/her.

The person CHEATED! There is no room for that in swinging, but they do not focus on that very important part of this lifestyle.

Swingers share, cheaters steal.

It is all about ratings, another reason I do not watch televison on a normal basis. IMO, and based on what I have learned through "EXPERIENCE" (I think I can say that now) is that swingers are among the most honest and open people that I have ever met.

That is one of the best statements I have ever read, John. One thing that I have learned is that "real" Swingers are blatently honest and have more on their minds than just a roll in the sack. It is too bad that the reality of swinging would not be good for the "media" ratings. I suppose the "real" swingers would be just too boring.

Too threatening Lori.

It is easy to cheat, but it is hard to communicate with your partner in a way that you can enjoy sexuality and not risk your lifetime bond.

LMAO

OMG, this reminds me of when I used to do cam shows/chat when I had my amateur site. We would talk about pretty much anything in the chat room. We had a running joke that whenever the subject turned towards sex one of my regulars would respond with "What do you think this is a sex site?, you can't talk about that on here" LOL

Heck, I'll go further than that: when does TV ever show anything, even the news, in a truthful and realistic way?
