Suburban Swingers
One thirtysomething advertising manager who asked to remain anonymous remembers her boyfriend taking her to the Sans Souci swinging club in Dallas a decade ago. They were five years into a seven-year relationship, and the thrill had worn off. "It was like a secret society revealed," she says. "It looked like a lot of older couples who had been married for 20 years and were bored, so they wanted to try an open marriage." Her boyfriend found it "exciting and fun," but she was "annoyed" by women hitting on her and jealous of her partner's outside attentions. After several arguments they never returned. "I didn't want him or me to be involved in that lifestyle."
While the legal battle continues in Duncanville, so do the parties at the Cherry Pit. Trulock and Norris have raised a few thousand dollars so far for their legal fight, but they'll probably need more if the case drags on. If only their private gatherings had stayed under the covers.

Comment: http://www.online4love.com is the primary way my husband and I meet likeminded "friends with benefits." There's no uncomfortable wondering if you ought to approach someone, you already know upfront when you meet them, and it is definitely worth the extra cost of becoming silver/gold imo, so you can exchange notes or pics before meeting and make sure its a good fit.
My hubby is str8 and I am bi and we have had no problem finding partners on online4love.com. We've had fun sex with lots of single men, single women and full swap couples that we met on O4L. And yes, I'm real, and no, I don't work for O4L or think they're perfect (they can be pricey and they goober up email sometimes,) but I think they're the best thing going by far for meeting other people who just want to have sex without strings!

Comment: The majority of comments seem to be concerned foThe majority of comments seem to be concerned for the neighbors. The article clearly states "they have few neighbors" they have a "one acre lot near a state park" and are near a Boy Scout arear the neighbors. The article clearly states "they have few neighbors" they have a "one acre lot near a state park" and are near a Boy Scout campground. Clearly we are not talking about a suburb with little or no space between homes. I find it very hard to beleive that they have so many neighbors that they take over the streets. Referencing how your neighborhood would be inconvenienced is absurd. First off one acre is huge, a campground is huge, and a state park is huge, odds are their nearest neighbor is at least a few acres away. Which would mean their "blocks" are much larger than a standard sub-urb or urban block. Buts lets say that they did monopolize the streets. What was the compaint when they arragned off site parking? If the cars are parked in a parking lot in a different part of town than whats the problem? Exactly there isn't one other than the fact that their party has sex. They are not trying to recruit people, they are not trying to corrput the youth, that are not doing anything illegal so leave alone. I know people that live together and they arent married, should they be kicked out of town as well?

Comment: Your ignorance is as insane as your ccomments. You are actually dumb enough to beleive that because the majority wants something they get it? You probably one of those typical "white males" that sees nothing wrong with your community denying black and minorities, because "the majoirty doesnt want them". Sit down and shut up. Your insane rambling has no place in a society of "normal" people. Since there is no standard of normal how can you tell everyone what is normal? They are not saying that the people are insane for wanting a monogamous relationship (that means one partner) they are insane for attempting to force their views onto others. If you would get your moronic-prejudiced-nonsense out of yours ears you might actually catch onto the issue. Oh since you love meaningless statistics i am a single 22yr white male. I am completely opposed to swinging, but I also am completely opposed to your nazi-fascist-MY-WAY-OR-DIE mentality. YOU SIR are whats wrong with this country. I feel nothing but regret for what your children had to endure under you ignorant parenting. You disgust me, your opinions are as worthless as you and your family.
