I have permission from the author to post a link to his article. He's not a member of this website. The 'cracked dot com' website is the latest incarnation of the old Cracked Magazine -- a "Mad Magazine" copycat from a few years back.
So, just FYI. Here it is.

Hey all- just wondering if anyone saw the article on swinging in Self magazine and wanted to know your thoughts.
We thought it was pretty interesting that a mainstream magazine is discussing swinging! its pretty well written, lots of therapists opinions... nothing we didn't already know or think about.
Looking forward to hearing your opinions on it!

This is something I haven't really understood and thought I could get some guidance from the masses here!
Holli & Michael are kinda the celebrity faces of swingers and swinging. They are at a lot of swinger events as celebrities and the voice of swinger experience and knowledge to the non-swinger world.
Here's my question: They aren't really even "swingers" in the sense that the vast majority of us define the term. I mean, unless there's something we don't know, they aren't a "full-swap" couple in that she doesn't play with other guys.
Now, let me be VERY clear: I'm NOT saying that "swingers" only encompass "full-swap" or where both couples swap. Swinging is a very broad term.
With that said, I would like a couple that's, in effect, representing "swinging" to be a couple that has vast amounts of experience doing the thing that most "swingers" do: Couple full-swap.
I mean, there are all these vanilla news interviews with them where they share their experiences and say stuff like "Swinging has been great for our relationship! etc." ... but they aren't "swinging" in the sense that most of us (and the rest of the vanilla population) would interpret "swinging".
Again, I have no issues with them. They are cool people and we've even met them a couple times. I'm just bummed that the "face of swinging" is a couple that isn't really "swinging" (in the sense of the word that *most* people will understand it.
So, am I the only one that feels this way?

Does anyone know if Playboy's show "Swing" is still on or not and if so do you know where you can go to watch it other than ordering the playboy channel? We saw the first season of it and really liked it and it sparked some good conversations between us. I was hoping to watch more of that.
Also are there any other good shows similar to that?

We received a letter this week. It started, "Dear Friends, After 30 years of publishing the finest line of personal contact magazines for people in the lifestyle community, the combination of social, cultural, and technological changes that have occurred over the years have inevitably taken a toll on the magazine publishing business. We regret to inform you that Connection Magazines will soon be ceasing publication of our five magazines." And it was signed by Patti Thomas.
For those of you who remember, Ohio Connection, Pennsylvania Connection, National Connection, Midwest Connection and Cocoa 'n Crème were "the" way of hooking up with swingers before swingers' Web sites came along. For those of you who have never seen one of these magazines, imagine answering a personal advertisement by writing a letter, sealing it in an envelope, writing the number of the advertisement on the envelope, putting it in a bigger envelope, sending it to a post-office box address in Cleveland, then waiting, waiting, waiting. Seems improbable that anyone ever met anybody. It took lots of patience and perseverance. But sometimes it actually did happen. Maybe, for all the work it took, people were all that much more appreciative when it did.
