I went through a couple of stages when the idea of swinging first came up in our relationship. First, the excitement of it all which I know we have all felt. After the excitement I started to reflect on the morality of it all. I too being Catholic, and I do go to church on Sunday, felt guilt and I guess some shame for even thinking of the idea. After all this is not something a "good" Catholic should be doing. And then I did research about God, religion and swinging and guess what - I could find sites and information that could make me feel better about swinging. This apostle or that holy person had many wives so I guess it's ok. See they did it too. Or there is nothing in the Bible that specifically excludes this type of behavior. This is what I found.
Bottom line is that we can all find information out there to justify our positions and make us feel better about our choice. Swinging is probably a sin in many religions. In the Catholic church even birth control is a sin. but how many of us really believe we are going to hell for violation of that one.
We are all sinners and there is no such thing as a perfect person. I have been amazed reading this board at how committed and honored the sacrament of marriage is held by our members. How cheating is frowned upon and lying to your spouse is just plain wrong.
It seems to me like many people in our community have it all right. Be kind to others, respect your spouse and to be honest in communicating with each other. Sure we are sinners but when it comes to morality and marriage we have a lot to proud of.
