They are usually into partner swapping, so be careful! According to Wikipedia swinging began with United States Air Force Pilots and their wives during World War II. Because of the high mortality rate among pilots, apparently there were agreements made between very close pilots that if something were to happen during active combat, it was encouraged and appreciated, that solace would be given to the distraught wives of missing pilots. The first swingers' organization, the Sexual Freedom League, began in the 1960s in Berkeley, California, in the sexually liberal San Francisco Bay Area. Ultimately, an umbrella organization called the North American Swing Club Association (NASCA)[3] (now NASCA International) was formed to encourage the dissemination of accurate information about swinging lifestyles across North America. Swinging, sometimes referred to as the swinging lifestyle, is "non-monogamous sexual activity, treated much like any other social activity, that can be experienced as a couple."[1] The phenomenon (or at least its wider discussion and practice) may be seen as part of the sexual revolution of recent decades, which occurred after the upsurge in sexual activity made possible by the prevalence of safer sex practices during the same period. Swinging has been called wife swapping in the past, but this term has been criticized as androcentric and inaccurately describing the full range of sexual activities in which swingers may take part.
