Over 50% of marriages end in divorce today, a staggering number. Certainly, every relationship goes through rough spots and requires constant work. However, a common denominator seems to be that many married couples begin to lose the connection that initially brought them together. This often manifests itself in cheating and generally reprehensible behavior. In some cases, the cause of this is a general complacency or absence of sexual connection. When this occurs, one or both partners may stray and engage in extra-marital affair.

It's a human condition to crave variety and excitement. There are very few of us who have not fantasized about being with a co-worker or neighbor. However, there is a way to satisfy these urges without ever being unfaithful to your partner. The swinger community, or those who engage in "couple swapping" has discovered a way to maintain healthy relationships by removing many of the stressors associated with committing to a single sex partner for life. The secret is this: A couple engages in this form of entertainment together so the issue of cheating is eliminated! In fact, there is no other group that frowns on infidelity more than swingers.

Many find that the excitement, anticipation and after effects of couple swapping provides a charge to what may normally be a "vanilla" sex life. Consider the bond and sense of unity that is created by planning a date or visiting local couples clubs together. Also, compared to a single's life, a swinger always has a "wingman" and knows exactly who they are going home with at the end of the night. The risk of not finding the right connection on a given evening is virtually eliminated! Swingers also experience a greater sense of appreciation for their partner in that they see how attractive their partner can be to others. This often creates a great resurgence of romance for a couple that has been married for some time. Finally, the simple fact is that playing or having sex with others you are attracted to is just plain fun!

Those who have considered couple swapping often have real, genuine concerns. These are certainly well founded as the concept of swinging goes against what most of us were taught by society. In order to successfully engage in swinging, married couples must be in a loving, committed relationship. Otherwise, the process of exploring swinging will be like throwing gas on a fire. There are a few things that you should be willing to accept before ever making the intro to swinging.

In the end, those who choose to engage in couple swapping should do so only if in a stable relationship. Swinging is an absolute blast and can reinvigorate a stale sex life. Don't take yourself too seriously, constantly communicate with your partner, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
