Where did you get that data?

I suppose it would take a very reliable source that had polled a representative sample of Americans.

I used to work with a woman, who eventually became quite open about discussing she and her husband’s “swinging”.

To each his own, but GROSS! Keep your sex life private please!

I don’t have a clue, but it brings to mind a guilty pleasure of mine. This summer I watched the CBS show Swingtown and I loved it. I think only because of the 70s music, decor, clothes etc.. I was a teenager then and its a nostalgia thing. I never had and never would participate in such a thing, but I have to admit was interesting to watch. I LOVED the controversy it caused. It was a ballsy move for CBS. The religious right was all up in arms. Everyone was going to go to hell!

I’m pretty sure it is one of the following:

11.11%
2.2%
69.69%

According to reader responses to a Redbook survey several years ago, 4% of their readership (mostly female, obviously) reported that they had engaged in some sort of “sexual partner exchange,” on at least one occasion.

I swing alone. Swinging together makes the seat uncomfortable.
