Wife Swap - Swinging (sexual practice) - Netflix
Swinging, sometimes called wife swapping, husband swapping or partner
swapping, is a non-monogamous behavior in which both singles and
partners in a committed relationship engage in sexual activities with
others as a recreational or social activity. Swinging is a form of open
relationship. People may choose a swinging lifestyle for a variety of
reasons. Many cite an increased quality, quantity, and frequency of sex.
Some people may engage in swinging to add variety into their otherwise
conventional sex lives or due to their curiosity. Some couples see
swinging as a healthy outlet and means to strengthen their relationship.
The phenomenon of swinging, or at least its wider discussion and
practice, is regarded by some as arising from the freer attitudes to
sexual activity after the sexual revolution of the 1960s, the invention
and availability of the contraceptive pill, and the emergence of
treatments for many of the sexually transmitted diseases that were known
at that time. The adoption of safe sex practices became more common in
the late 1980s. The swinger community sometimes refers to itself as “the
lifestyle”, or as “the alternative lifestyle”. Depending on the culture
and the context, the practice has also been called “wife lending”, “wife
sharing”, a “community of women” or similar terms.
Wife Swap - Prevalence - Netflix
In 2018, a study of the prevalence of nonmonagamous practices in the
United States estimated that 2.35% of Americans currently self-identify
as swingers and 4.76% had identified as swingers at some point in their
lifetime.
