"Maybe we read you post wrong,it seemed to suggest we make it hard for ourselves,apologies if we are wrong ??" No I'm sorry if i didn't make it clear. I'm asking how big is the swinging community. Because i sometimes walk down the street and wonder which of the other people/couples I see are swingers. | |||

"And by swinger I mean has met others or is interested in meeting others?" I think most of the adult population have met other people, there may be some hermits who have isolated themselves from the outside world. However, people who meet other people are not necessarily 'swingers' the whole process tends to be part of normal everyday life. As for how many are real swingers, well I would say a very small proportion, after all, in my 20s I went to parties where plenty of sex was happening often in the same room, but none of the people were swingers. I would also say that a lot of the people on this site are not swingers, let's face it one on one meeting is run of the mill vanilla. Threesomes are so mainstream even the women's glossy mags have articles and tips. Two couples in private? Pretty mundane these days. | |||

"Principally because people who enjoy swinging are so discreet and secretive about their lifestyle choice, it is almost impossible to gather accurate statistical data. Culturally a lot of people in the US have experienced wife swapping but one has to take into account a lot of demographic stats; as an activity for couples it is definitely on the up in Ireland and in GB. Younger couples are keen to experiment with others, and I would predict that 25% would accurate over a lifetime." I'm not disputing your data, but were do you get the figures from? is it just your opinion (and if so, based on what?) or have you got some type of empirical data? I'm not picking an argument, I'm actually keen to know. I agree with your first statement and suppose it to be valid for the US too. If that's the case, how would we know that culturally in the US a lot of people have experienced wife swapping, because they would be secretive about it too. What about all those towns in the bible belt? There too? Which demographic stats affect the swinging population in the US? Surely the stats would be vastly different between New York city and some backwater town in the middle states? I think you're right about there being an increase in Ireland and the UK but where does the 25% figure come from and is 25% comparable to "a lot of people" in the US? Again, I'm not trying to be argumentative (there's no emoji for that as far as I'm aware!) I'm genuinely interested in why you've given those figures. Cheers, Gbat | |||

Cheers, Gbat " . 25% would seem way too high a figure to me too lol Newspaper articles a couple of years ago reckoned there was maybe up to 1.5 million folks in the uk, but their definition of being a swinger was pretty broad | |||

"Social mores are rapidly changing and my prediction is based on a lifetime experience; the number who swing frequently is growing and in the US stats date back to the origin of 'wife-swapping' in military bases in the 1950s, when personnel were away on service." Right. So no data then? Just a number you think is about right based on your life experience? Thanks for that. Gbat | |||

"The number is probably higher than we suspect We've got couple friends that talk about trying swinging but haven't as they are worried how it will effect their relationship We've got ña friend lived as thrupple before settling into a traditional couple & marriage We've got couple friends we suspect have fucked other people within our friendship group & we've got friends that cheat behind their partners backs and we believe if their partners knew (actually they'd probably kick them to the curb) but if they'd had the conversation before cheating I think the wives would be up for some extra dick too, so swinging could have beem an option for them " Many shades of grey here. And no not the 50 shades kind. I think if you counted all the nearly variations you might get to 10%, but out of that number you mught have 2% active swingers. So about 1 in fifty. | |||

As is a foursome. Anything more than two people is swinging IMHO. | |||

"At least 30%.. people won't admit it even if asked especially on a survey." Just curious how did any one get to that number? | |||

It is only my opinion, just like your comment/definition it is an opinion. It doesn't mean you're correct. I disagree with your definition. | |||

It is the act of exchanging spouses for sex. | |||

"And by swinger I mean has met others or is interested in meeting others?" I'd be interested in this number but split by gender for comparison...doh it will be the same.. | |||
