About Swingers

Swingers.

It's a concept that makes some people cringe. Like Amway. Or Katy Perry on Blue Origin.

I guess I favor cringy things.

I'm a lifelong Katy Cat.

I sold Amway products in college.

And I've had some great experiences with swingers.

That, in spite of repeatedly seeing the cliché bit in sitcoms of a swinging couple that makes near predatory moves on an unsuspecting monogamous couple.

The swingers I've known aren't like that at all. But they are kind. Go out of their way to help you if you need it. They're very good with boundaries, conscientious about safe sex practices, superb communicators.

And very sex-positive.

As one of them told me once as we danced together on a dance floor, "I think the world would be a better place if we all fucked each other more."

But in spite of being a lively bunch, most swingers I know hide their "lifestyle" from others for fear of the consequences of being outed to their work, neighbors, or social circles.

That's why I'm so grateful that one of them was willing to come on Filthy Little Secrets and speak candidly about her experiences as a swinger. Deanne is such a great example of the kind of person I've met in that world. So sweet and articulate and down to earth about sex.

We laughed. And as I listened to the recorded interview later, I got misty eyed. The whole conversation was, as she said, beautiful.
