This looks interesting, though I’m not sure this NY Times review of “ThereIs No ‘I’ In Threesome” will persuademe to add HBO Maxto my existing HBO subscription. (Of course Kathy and I love New Zealand, so the adventures of this Kiwi couple could persuade me to upgrade our subscription...☺️ ) https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/11/movies/there-is-no-i-in-threesome-review.html?surface=most-popular&fellback=false&req_id=466556926&algo=bandit-all-surfaces&variant=1_bandit-all-surfaces_daysback_4&imp_id=829023391&action=click&module=Most Popular&pgtype=Homepage -

Naked truth about swingers | New York Post -
Discussing one of the many documentaries on the lifestyle and the fact that so rarely do they accurately depict the swingers that we are or know, leads me to wonder. If you were given the opportunity to appear in a documentary on swinging would you do so? If so, what stipulations would you have? Would you want your face hidden? If not, what would your reasons be? kids? family? privacy? all of the above and more?

We are curious to know if any of you have seen David Schisgall's documentary film, The Lifestyle, and if so, what do you think of it. It has it's critics but we believe it matches our experience and our personal perception of the lifestyle, for good and bad, all the way up and down the line. Let us know. -
Did anyone here see the VH1 special last night on “The Secret World of Swingers?” We watched but ended up wondering why after it was over. Basically, they profiled three couples and one club. There was the New York club, which had a seedy, bohemian-cool, dirty atmosphere. The host of the parties seemed like a pimp sort of dude and even dressed like one for the Halloween party they held. It was very apparent he was cashing in on the “sex industry.” We joked about how it seemed that for all the $$ this guy raked in, he certainly didn’t spend it on the appearance of the place…LOL We feel so lucky to have a local place to go to that is classy and clean! I guess we’re just too old to be impressed with shabby-sheik…. It seems we also differ in that we don’t feel the need to be recognized in the “swing community” and part of a “cool crowd.” Different stokes and all that I guess… One couple was from New York; we didn’t care much for them. We like people we socialize with to have a little more character about them. Now, we’re not saying there was anything wrong with them. They just seemed as shallow as a birdbath is all. They said something interesting, that “swinging saved [their] relationship.” Ours was great to begin with; swinging didn’t “save ours.” To us, what we now do on occasion is just for fun and entertainment. We don’t thrive on it. We are enough for us; we only do this to fulfill an occasional need to be really naughty. Swinging in no way is the sole definition of who we are as a couple. How do you all feel about that statement; that “swinging saved” a relationship? Doesn’t that imply that the relationship was faulty going into swinging? They also showed a “Newbie” couple. After the first 5 minutes of seeing them before they went to a swing party I turned to my sweetie and said, “They’re going to have a train wreck.” They never really discussed what to expect from each other. They had NO ground rules and didn’t know each other’s limits at all. When they did try to discuss the matter both would tense up and sort of stonewall the other. They should have never gone and it ended what appeared to be a good relationship. That whole episode made me a bit sad really. After coming to this board for so long, even before we began swinging, we understood that the only real way to enjoy this and stay together is to communicate and be on the same page. It was truly terrible to watch. The third couple was from PA, the eastern side specifically. They seemed to be like the typical couples we have here in PA. Nice, normal, people you would meet at just about anywhere PA. They seemed to have a good rapport with each other and enjoyed themselves a lot. There was one part when they went into a hotel room with another couple while the cameras rolled that seemed a bit painfully awkward. But then again, who wouldn’t be awkward with cameras rolling the first time you’re with a new couple?? LOL The only thing that sort of bugged us was their son, whose 15, is now going to be aware of what his parents do. I’d love to know how they explained this to him. Imagine, “son, your mother and I are going to be on VH1 having sex with other people…” That is a conversation we would dread! What worried us is not so much the fact that not only does this kid have to deal with his own budding sexuality as well as his parents, no, what worried us was how are the other kids in school going to treat him now. I can only imagine how cruel the other teens are going to be, “Hey dude, your mom’s a ho! I saw her on TV f*cking strangers!” Yoinks. Being that they are from PA, we know how close knit and closed minded our communities could be. I just hope this kid is NOT prevented from dating too many girls by fathers who may worry that “swinging” is hereditary. What were your thoughts on this show?

SLS is showing on their home page that they are doing a special with ABC's 20/20 to air 10PM(EST) November 12th. I wonder since SLS is involved if a more accurate portrayal of who swingers are will come to light. Or if ABC will spin it by searching out what negatives they can find and focusing on those as the norm?
