    I took both anthropology and sociology in school. I don't remember a lot of it other than everyone is not subjected to the same mores during their development. While the majority of people equate sex to love, some do not. They can separate the 'fun' of sex from the emotion of 'making love'. For those people, they marry because they truely love someone and want to be with that person. However, since they have not had the same morals imparted upon them as others, going out to a swingers club is not much different to them than any other thing that adults do for enjoyment.

    "So what happened?"
    "She's into it."
    "Into what?"
    "The menage. And not only that. She just called me and said she talked to the roommate and the roommate's into the menage too."
    "That's unbelievable."
    "Oh, it's a scene man."
    "Do you ever just get down on your knees and thank god that you know me and have access to my dementia?"
    "What are you talking about? I'm not goin' to do it."
    "You're not goin to do it? What do you mean, You're not goin to do it?"
    "I can't. I'm not an orgy guy."
    "Are you crazy? This is like discovering Plutonium ... by accident."
    "Don't you know what it means to become an orgy guy? It changes everything. I'd have to dress different. I'd have to act different. I'd have to grow a moustache and get all kinds of robes and lotions and I'd need a new bedspread and new curtains I'd have to get thick carpeting and weirdo lighting. I'd have to get new friends. I'd have to get orgy friends. ... Naw, I'm not ready for it.

    classic ...


    Oh it's a scene man ... so funny.

    Seriously, why are these discussions even on here? This is a diet and exercise website. But since I'm reading this, I shall give my opinion. This society has lost sight of what the sanctity of marriage really is. I have seen COUNTLESS marriages end while "swinging" just because they thought they needed some excitement. One I know of, even went on to have sex with her BEST FRIEND"S HUSBAND! It truly disgusts me that this world takes marriage so lightly. In this world of "if it feels good, do it", we have truly lost sight of what a REAL marriage is. And I tell you what, I have 4 kids (a daughter and three boys) one of the main things I try to instill in them is that marriage is a COMMITTMENT to one person, for LIFE. ANd that is will not always be romance and roses. Times will be hard and marriage is work. And you do not just throw in the towel because things are not what you thought they'd be.

    I'm poly, not a swinger. I got married because I want to share the rest of my life with my husband. Being with one person doesn't have to mean you're not with other people, if that's agreed on.

    You have room for family, kids, friends, work, etc. in your life. Why can't you have room for more love (or sex?).

    What is the main difference between poly and swinger?.....I am assuming poly stands for polyamorous......which I would take to mean love many...

    disease/ emotional attachment/ body image issues / confusion

    I do not think everyone has the ability to completely separate sex as a strictly physical thing.

    Not to sound harsh, but you went to college (approx) 30 years ago. Times have changed.

    We do not all fit into the perfect peg hole you would like.
    The majority relate sex to love? Do you? Why? Because your parents told you to? A book told you to?
    I was raised in a strict religious home and I don't believe in those things. Your theory is broken.

    From this thread:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/776989-married-and-dating

    A lot of swingers came out and were posting in it......Since it it locked I can't respond there but have a real question and don't want to read through all of those responses to see if it has been answered. Why get married? If you want to date/have sex with other people why even get married in the first place? Not trying to attack......Hoping to have a real debate/discussion.

    Interesting question, given your profile pic.

    Swingers have sex with people/couples etc for fun.
    Poly is to open your heart to other people. Poly's come in different relationship forms as well (3's, 4's and more).

    Then it would probably disgust you if I told you I think you are REALLY HOT!!!! :tongue: :wink: :bigsmile:
