One of my Tampa aerobics instructors went up to AA's Paradise Lakes to lead a few classes.....ewwwww...and people here worry about bedspreads! LOL Think of those mats. 
Anyway...the aerobics class was not a pretty picture she says. Most everyone was "up there" in age. It's a clothing optional place, and she opted in. Her class did wear shoes...Lawsy, cover those feet!!

Back in the olden days, "swingers" around this area implied that you might be looking for some wife swapping. However, we are on the east coast, maybe the west coast is different
If that's what you want, remember things like blackmail and AIDS.

When we lived in the Seattle suburbs, a friend was telling me about some people we both knew and she told me they were swingers. Now this was just 3 years ago. I am too naive and thought she meant that these people just liked to party a lot. She had to explain it to me, lol! I had never heard of that before, and so had to tell DH about it. He was clueless too. Being naive can be a good thing

The conversation was very interesting last night. Regulars were telling the DJ that they couldn't be there for over the Christmas weekend because they had family coming in, church activities, etc. A little bit of a disconnect. You hear these are well-established, "normal" family folks with "normal" routines - but it's hard for me to connect the dots.

There's a place in the Mayan Riviera called Desire that's a "lifestyle resort". I like to read the reviews on tripadvisor for fun...the place sounds like a big orgy.
I knew a couple who were swingers in Dallas about 10 years ago. There were two clubs - the San Souci which was near where we lived - and another at the end of Routh St, but don't know it's name. Anyway...this couple had a baby that didn't look like either of them...I never had the guts to ask.

"Nothing against Dallas, but like many major metropolitans in the south and west, there is about enough interesting stuff to keep you busy for a couple days."
Guess you might change your mind if you could find the lifestyles clubs. LOL!!

To say I am shocked would be to put it mildly. I know I am judging, but I just always figured all our long time posters were morally upright people. Surprise, surprise. This is the first post ever that has caused me nausea.

Wow... I don't know what I'm more shocked about... that this was posted, or that it has the amount of replies that it does.
There have got to be other forums where this could be addressed. True, going to a resort away from home is travel, but this group won't be able to give you very many specifics.
I've heard that "swinging" is alive and well, just concealed very well these days. There are all kinds of subcultures in this great country that would surprise all of us, I'm guessing.

I have a pretty good friend who "swings"... he and his wife have been married for 15 years and are very happy. He has never once suggested that we get involved in it... in fact, if it wasn't for a few deeper discussion we've had while fishing, etc., I wouldn't even be aware of his lifestyle. My point it that not everyone who does this stuff is some slimy weirdo.
I know that he and his wife don't go to "resorts" or random "clubs", but take part in their lifestyle through a tighter network of local, trusted acquaintances. So maybe your best bet is something right in your own region.
With that said, yes, a weird thing to see posted on Fodors.

We have about a 50% divorce rate in this country.
Is consensual intimate experimentation with other, consenting couple really worse that the high number of people who secretly cheat on their spouses?
We think that maintaining a healthy marriage is the priority. There are different ways to do that. Different strokes for different folks.
If, in 40 years, we're old and wrinkly but still happily married, but that "vow obeying" couple is long divorced, who is worse off?
