Well now, THIS is interesting! 
I will not offer any commentary other than these two quotes...
"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." -Mark Twain
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire

I never thought I would be responding to a Swingers post but had to give this thougt. I wonder how many couples who get into this are BOTH really wanting to do it and how many where one wants to and the partner goes along to save the marriage. Not much saving to do in my opinion but I know lots of people who do things they don't agree with just to please another person.

cd, I don't see my opinions as personal judgements about people. Just because I might see what people do as disgusting to ME (if I were doing it) doesn't mean I look down up on them as people necessarily.
I have a couple of friends, a married couple, who got into the swinging lifestyle a few years ago. (She once asked me if I wanted to get into their club with her - as single men can't get in by themselves; I politely declined.) Who am I to judge what makes them happy? Why should I look at what they do as "immoral" even though I don't particularly like it? I have no right to.
Two people's marriage vows are between them. PERIOD. They aren't for you to interpret and then tell them that what they are doing is immoral, because of the way you've interpretted their vows.
How would you like someone telling YOU that what you are doing is wrong, because THEY see it as somehow immoral according to THEIR interprettation of YOUR wedding vows? No doubt you would tell them to mind their own business, as you well should.

I hope I at least got the honor thing correct.

I have been following this thread and have gotten several good laughs from it!!
After reading pepper131 comment, I went to Trip Advisor and read the trip reports for Desire Resort in the Riviera May. It really does sound like just what you are looking for.

I hate to show my naiveté but is he looking for one of those places where the two men go off by themselves and the two women do likewise ?
Also when did paisley shirts , checked pants and sideburns go out of style ?

I wonder what differences there are between swinging and serial divorce. When children are involved, I would say that serial divorce is worse. I wonder if Tim Russert would ever put that question to John McCain, Rudy Guiliani or Newt Gingrich?
The company of which I am a minor partner once used to do business with a swinging club two blocks from the White House but the establishment has been out of business for twenty-five years. Social diseases, AIDS and the internet seems to have put a damper on swingers clubs. They seem to have gone the way of the record player, mah jong and the top hat.

Never been to one...no real desire to do so, but if your in "the loop" and I do not mean the BELTWAY, they are more popular than ever, and have morphed there way into being some of the most posh clubs in the trendy areas.
I've found that people who judge others and exagerate claims...are typically the ones you will find tied up on a hotel room bed with a midget bouncing on the mattress wearing a red cowboy hat and leading a pig on a leather leash with lipstick and a pink bonnet on!

The Fodor's site is not only good for travel but it is a good place to learn. I thought Mah Jong went out with the Charleston, Rudolph Valentino and Ruth Etting. But I am dating meself. Thanks schmerl!

LOL - I had to go to that Velvet Club link to see if it was for real. They sure have some pictures of beautiful people on the website. I'm guessing that the real people inside aren't quite so attractive!!
