I voted *not in
I thnk you have confused swinging with open marriage, as there is a difference. In a threesome / foursome / group experience the couple's relationship is primary. The couple participates in the activity as an extension of themselves and do not, typically, form bonds with other individuals / couples. Anotherwords the relationship is primary and emotionally exclusive.
Whereas in an open marriage, the emotional attachment is more diffuse. The couple has feeling for each other but they also develop emotional bonds with other people. In an open marriage it is likely that the couple does not participate having sex with other together, like in a threesome / foursome / group experience.
I voted "Only as a couple in threesome" but I imagine it would be infrequent and would have to have some pretty good ground rules if it ever happened for us. I could see it being an experience (albeit an unusual and risky one) that the two of us could share and enjoy together. Just because we're married doesn't mean that we couldn't share the company of another person in the bedroom if we both want to and both enjoyed it. I don't get that argument.
I'll let you know if it ever happens and whether or not my opinion changes ;-)
