FabSwingers.com forum: Kink and Swingers in the Media

I am just watching Law and Order: SVU where the fetishists are shown as sad and dangerous. I remember another episode where swingers where shown to be murderous and gullible (although Mariska Hartingay did have to pose as part of a swinging couple and visit a swingers club, be still my beating heart!).

But in only a few films or TV series has swinging or kink been shown as an enjoyable activity by consenting adults ("The Watch" comes to mind).

Given that kinks that do not cause lasting harm are no longer classified as a mental disorder, and in the real world swinging is not known to be a hot bed of mentally unstable people, why is it taking the rest of the world so long to catch up?

It's still seen as taboo.

I've mentioned swinging to a couple of trusted friends and had to explain that its not car keys in a bowl and pampus grass in the front garden!

Quite a few groups and media struggle to cope with homosexuality so kinks and swinging blows their tiny closed minds

Given that grown adults still giggle about naturists I think it will take a long time before swinging and kink become unremarkable.

We've watched a couple of films recently featuring swinging. It always turns out badly for the "evil" person who suggests swinging and the loving, married couple who try it at their suggestion learn a valuable lesson about not enjoying sex with other people.

It's because monogamy has been imposed by society on us as the 'natural' order of things. The brainwashing isn't easy to eliminate

American shows especially have to get a bit judgemental still a very religious country so they probably feel the need to show it has a downside

Thanks for the contributions.

The best representation of the kink lifestyle I have seen is in a comic called "Sunstone" by Stepen Sejic. Coincidentally the best thing on swinging is a spin off from that series called "Swing" by his wife Linda Sejic collaborating with Matt Hawkins and his wife Jenni Cheung.

Both comics are apparently on the devient art site as well.

I love it too, though it is weird at the moment as the episodes are not in order. One episode they all look you and the next middle aged!
