Rayanne,

You have no idea how right on you are. There is no pain in the world that can equal the pain I feel knowing my wife transferred her love from me to another man we met in swinging. We have two children, and the older one is 14 and KNOWS her mom fell in love with another man - and my wife claims she was never fully committed to me anyway, in the whole nearly 15 years we've been married.

I think swinging shakes the entire foundation of the concept of commitment and IS a drug. Now I am dealing with the threat of imminent divorce and a host of emotional issues that would never have been as acute had we not made the choice to swing.

It isn't worth the risk, everyone...it just isn't worth the risk. If you are unattached, please...go for it, find out what it feels like if you must...but once you are committed, get real about that commitment and don't swing.
