A frequent complaint in this section — and one that is justified — is that when the mainstream press covers lifestyle matters it’s either to titillate the reader/viewer or shame the subjects of the coverage. Or very often both.

 

Here’s one that is neither. The entire New York Times Sunday Magazine this weekend is devoted to, as the headline to this post says, love and sexuality as it plays out over the course of a day in New York City. One of the many vignettes is from a sex party in Manhattan. It’s only a single photograph and a hundred words or so. But it’s completely non-judgemental and definitely not written to titilate. The term “lifestyle” is never used, but I think it represents how most of us here would like for it to be understood, as the expression of one aspect of the broad subject that is human sexuality.

 

The Times has a paywall, but you get several articles a month for free. I recommend you spend one of those freebies reading not just about the sex party — which is just a small part — but the entire contents of the magazine.

      A monogamous lesbian goes to a nudist swinger resort by herself
      By cplnuswing
      Interesting perspective here, a Huffington Post story of a monogamous lesbian goes by herself to a swingers resort. It's a good article, what she describes experiencing will sound very familiar.

      Forget the long-ass article in the NY Times, the America's Finest News Source again sums up nicely a complex topic:

      "My Wife and I are Swingers" article Cracked.com
      By SJBluebirds
      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.

      The Onion does a swingers article
      By two4youinswva
      Sometimes a swingers party just isn't worth the 80 mile round trip in traffic. Especially on a damn weeknight.
       
      Local Swingers Not Going To Drive Out To Goddamn Oakdale - The Onion - America's Finest News Source
       
      SHOREWOOD, MN—Citing both having to work early the next morning and several other inconveniences presented by a recent party invitation, local swingers Doug and Tiffany Finsky told reporters Wednesday that there is no way they are driving all the way out to goddamn Oakdale.
       
      According to the sexually adventurous couple, traveling to the event that their friends Linda and Joe Tremaine are hosting in the Minneapolis suburb over an hour’s drive from the Finskys’ home would likely not be worth the hassle, with the pair stating they would probably end up spending more time sitting in the car than they would at the party.
