I looked up swing in a dictionary recently. There were 22 different definitions, some verbs, some nouns. My favorite one is to live in a lively, modern, relaxed style. A swinger has all these attributes. He wants to live life, not watch it or let it pass by. She's a forward thinker, able to think outside the box. They really appreciate the pleasurable, physical, part of life. This relaxed attitude allows them to connect with others in meaningful ways.
"The Lifestyle", for many couples, increases happiness and contentedness in their relationship as well as a better awareness of themselves and their spouse. Many couples in the lifestyle also report more closeness, less role playing, and a more equal partnership.
"Swingers" can be found in every race and profession. All levels of education and ethnicities are present. Most swingers, however, are Caucasian, middle to upper middle socio-economic class, and married. Both married and unattached "swingers" often tend to be venturous, sophisticated, and social creatures. Most single women who join swing clubs find them to be a revitalizing substitute for the usual bar scene.
