Good movies with swinging or swingers?

Recommended Posts

I seem to remember that there was a thread about this before but I can't find it now so let's try again.

 

The other night there was a movie on cable that featured swinging so we figured what the heck and watched it. It was called Four of Hearts and was (almost as expected)...terrible! Quick plot as listed on the guide: Stuck in a six-month sexual 'dry spell,' a young husband and wife decide to rekindle their love life by having a one-night stand with another couple. What they left out was the next sentence: But all four soon find themselves unprepared for the complicated web of lies, jealousy, and forbidden attractions that follow.

 

Of course one couple is having a dry spell because they don't make time for each other and decide to have a 4some with her best friend (who are swingers) and her husband who just happen to live next door. The husband then can't get over his wife having sex with another man (even though he just had sex with her best friend) and so the wife starts spending time with her best friends husband trying to figure out how to fix things but the other husband has fallen for her. Her husband becomes very...teen age girly (for lack of a better term) and moves out and the other couple barely keeps things together (in other words, every stereotype about how swinging is BAD and everything you SHOULDN'T do if you want to try it).

 

The only other movie that I've really run across that has swinging as a theme or subtheme is Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice in which things also crash and burn as people who shouldn't be swinging try to do it anyways and since swinging is BAD things don't work out.

 

Are there any movies that have swinging in them where everyone doesn't end up broken up and/or hating everyone else?

Very good movie (Dutch, with subtitles), a lot about emotions around swinging too. Made for only 22000 USD and actors being paid on the basis 'no cure no pay', very low budget but fairly high quality. Excellent actors, I'm glad to report the movie was a small commercial succes and the actors got paid in the end. :)

Swingers (2002)

...not to be confused with the 1996 movie of the same name that had nothing to do with swingers (and IOHO despite popular acclaim wasn't very interesting either).

Hm. The selection out there is disappointing to say the least. The only material available appears to be cautionary tales wrapped in titillating scandal. In short, it's a bunch of crap. It would be nice to see it portrayed accurately. I guess no producers wants to touch it. But there's got to be some brilliant up and coming Spielberg out there who's willing to shake things up by showing the unflinching truth, get people thinking. The truth is pretty entertaining if you ask me.

Perhaps some aspiring screenwriters here can band together and put together a script that can be pitched to a production company.

It isn't quite swinging (although the lead characters do visit a swingers club), but we really liked A Good Old-Fashioned Orgy, which is surprisingly sex-positive in the end

 

eta: not sure why the hyperlink was created; certainly wasn't by me!)

Okay, review on Zebra Lounge.

 

While an interesting movie (although we came up with a better ending), it does NOT portray the LS in a positive way...but it is entertaining in seeing how things USED to be. A couple (whose marriage is not the best) decide to spice things up go to an adult book store. He buys a swinger magazine (no internet in 2000?) and they decide to take out their own ad. Wife goes to pick up mail from PO box and comes out with a giant box of mail. They sort through everyone and end up with a creepy couple (that includes Stephen Baldwin). Of course the first time is full swap (but the wife of lead couple is hot) and the one time experience seems to work for the couple who are now much happier and passionate. The Baldwins, however, don't want it to be a one time thing and do everything they can to invade their lives. Things just get bad after this and in the end...well, never date a Baldwin brother (do I really NEED to warn anyone of this?). The music is straight from 'Eyes Wide Shut'. It was rather clear that this was heavily influenced by that movie (filmed two years earlier in 1998) but not nearly as sexy.

 

So the search continues. I now have Swingers (the Dutch movie from 2002?, not the bad US movie from 1997) downloaded and ready to watch...it's just the subtitles that is holding us back.

A UK movie about the "Dogging" lifestyle (swinging in the outdoors pretty much) - also a documentary TV show about same.

Public Sex (2009)"Dogging: A Love Story" (original title)

 

 

There was a history of Plato's Retreat the grand father of all public swing clubs (NOT in a documentary TV show from the UK?)

American Swing (2008)

 

And then the dark comedy movie "Eating Raoul" of course...

"Sex Shop Salesman: Le Orgy Gel comes in lemon, mint, cherry or trail mix.

Paul: Trail mix?

Sex Shop Salesman: I was making a joke. "

Mr. Discovery: That's one reason we don't live in the Netherlands. That and we don't speak Dutch. Oh and the shoes...

 

Econobiker: Already saw Public Sex. Kind of dark and wondered. But I want trail mix!

Ok, I may have to change my mind here...and they're speaking English! The shoes still hurt my feet however...

Lol :) Just you know: almost everyone in my country can speak and understand English. Partly because almost all English films and shows are in their original language.

 

Lot of foreign tourists visit clubs like Fun4two in the summer and there are no language problems as everyone at least speaks Dutch, English and Bodylanguage.

 

Now if you excuse me, I have to repaint some shoes.

I didn't want to start a new thread, so I'm ressurecting this one. I watched The Overnight (

) and boy was it an odd movie, funny but odd. I then went looking for other movies with swinging as major plot piece and came across the UK movie Swung (
). I thought Swung was actually a pretty good movie and presented the lifestyle rather honestly. I actually recommend watching it if you can find it.

      Hello,
      My partner and I would like to watch a DVD depicting a couple who adds a woman to the bedroom. The more plot the better, lol. Softcore would be better than hardcore but hardcore would be fine. We would like the people involved to be "regular" types and not the 44 ddd types or 9 inch dicks. Actors in their 40's would be great. Does anyone know of any movies like this? Anyone willing to part with theirs?
      Thanks

      I'm looking for a good erotic movie that does not look fake about swingers to watch with wife. Also any good home made swingers videos. Any recommendation?

      It must be said, most porn is male dominated... where the main point is the guy unloading on a woman's face, the woman's pleasure secondary. I've been on a long and hard (har har) search for porn which has a bit more depth to it. It is said that men are more visual and women are more imaginative (that is, guys like pictures, women like words), but I wonder how much of this is truly due to the quality (or focus) of the films. There seems such a big selection, but most of it is like a bollywood movie (there are 5 original films, remade to death, or so I'm told) with the same flaws as other films.
       
      Here I'd like to post some of the films we've really enjoyed together. I'm hoping that either this will help someone else find something sexy, or you've seen these and would like to recommend some of your own favorites.
       
      The crucial points are:
       
      1) the woman is enjoying herself - seriously, how can people get off with actors who look like they're bored.
       
      2) the actors are good looking, not plastic. sexy people, but not surgically altered.
       
      3) the sex is hot, and both people look like they're into it... ideally, the woman comes at least once during the sex.
       
      4) a good fantasy/plot, sure we don't want lots of bad-acting character building, but a bit more than a film crew, actors and a matress.
       
      5) film making. bad editing, bad lighting, and bad music make a bad film. lots of the porno industry seems to think that a camera and fucking make a film. perhaps they do, but not a good film.
       
      i know that goodvibrations have a femme friendly porno section, and indeed, their choices are good. likewise, so does blowfish. Here are the links, including an article by violet blue, editor for goodvibes and allround right on sex editor/writer:

      So, in my search, I've found that the french tend to have much better quality films than north america. So, all listings are french. perhaps it helps that you can't understand most of the dialogue, but the sex is hot, and it seems to fulfill most of the above criteria.
       
      le plaisir à 20 ans (blue one) - a couple imagine numerous fantasies. the film has enough plot to tie it together, but the sex scenes are imaginative and very hot. I think my favourite is the sex by the fridge scene, first the couple get covered in food, then you get really intense sex. the guy stops midsex, and rubs the woman until she squirts, before continuing. The rest of the scenes are also done well, great camera work, imaginative sets.
       
      les cles du plaisir (michel ricaud) - a woman has a chastity belt, so she calls a locksmith who has les cles du plaisir (the keys of pleasure). This film is a classic, but very well shot, hot sex, and nice looking actors.
       
      la femme objet (alpha) - another classic. a man treats women like objects, and then designs a robot woman to have sex with. Great sex, but ultimately it is about the man's pleasure. that is, until the robot gets revenge. very well shot, and nice to look at bar the hideous furniture of the early 80s.
       
      salvatore giuliano le dernier sicilien (joe d'amato) - two outlaws on the run, find comfort with a selection of beautiful women. The sex is really hot, well shot, and the actors are beautiful. There are several MMF scenes which are very well done.
       
      les jambes en l'air (new sensations) - 'legs in the air' is a film about sex on an airplane. it has great models, and hot sex. Not much plot to it although it sticks to the theme, but it is very well shot and the actors are good looking and look like they are having fun.
       
      L'Indécente aux enfers (french) - a woman is oversexed, so she goes to see a psychiatrist. There she tells the psychiatrist about her fantasies (cuts to very nicely done scenes) which range through out history. there is picnic sex, napoleon-era soldiers (MMF), 1940s wartime in a taxi (voyeur), 1950s gangsters. As well, the oversexed woman has some great scenes in between her visits to the psychiatrist, including meeting a stranger in a park, doing the mechanic, and the scene which sets the film up, her wedding night (where she goes from 'oh no', to 'oui oui!' and begins her sex obsession).
       
      ....
       
      DISCLAIMER: I know porn is a matter of personal taste. maybe this won't rock your boat. However,Ii feel like I am not alone in that 99% of the films I have seen are not that great, but every now and then, one really shines. I'd be grateful if you can post which films did it for you. in particular, films that women found exciting.

      Just discovered this film by accident. I enjoy a British comedy now and again, so I was wondering if anyone has watched this?

      Could someone please recommend erotic movies that are produced to include women's desires and fantasies? My wife and I have been exploring our sexuality in our late 40's, and she had introduced me to erotic literature, which has expanded our horizons. She has hinted at an interest in sexually explicit movies. Knowing her for all these years, she likes Hallmark happy-ending type movies. I want to avoid the typical stuff that focuses on male fantasies. Please recommend films that include common female fantasies as well as male. Thank you in advance for your help.
