Documentary on swinging.
| Thu, 12-22-2005 - 11:26pm |
The topics of swinging, 3-somes, etc., have been brought up on this board. I just finished watching a documentary called "Sex With Strangers" that looks at the swinging scene. It follows the activities of two couples and a FFM relationship, examining the successes and dangers of the lifestyle. It's not all positive, nor is it all negative, but presents something to think about for those contemplating such activities. I was able to rent it from Netflix. Might be worth a look.

I would be careful about viewing documentaries on the 'scene' / 'lifestyle'. No matter how 'objective' they try to be, documentaries are done from a point of view of the editor and in an effort to sell the documentary, the author / editor tends to focus on those items which will sell the video (e.g. sexual scenes, seedier, and any type of conflict). From what you are describing where the documentary covers a ffm realtionship, I wonder if this documentary has confused polyamourous / open relationship with swinging. As there is a big difference between an open relationship and a relationship that includes swinging. For anyone considering trying swinging I would not rely solely on a documentary as the final word but as a piece in the puzzle in an effort to decide if swinging is for you.

Very well put, Smurfberry.
