In actuality, there is plenty of recent, modern literature that points toward serious psychological and emotional problems that can inspire the "swingers" lifestyle - and plenty of problems resulting from it. As idyllic as it might sound, with so much rationalization and justification to back it up, it is more likely to cause more problems than it solves. It's just not sustainable, emotionally. Go back and find that book from the 60's, something like "Open Marriage". Now go find the sequel, written by the same couple twenty years later, describing the pain, anguish, and dysfunctional behavior that resulted from their experiences in the lifestyle. Human nature, much as in other higher organisms, tends to be monogamous. It's not a moral judgement or a religious issue at all. It just works that way. Hey, it's hard enough to establish a trusting, respectful, rewarding, reciprocal, mature connection with just ONE person... tim
