What is with all of the Swinging? – Truth or Fiction

You may have heard about a new TV show coming soon to a TV near you. “Swingtown” is supposed to take place in a Chicago suburb in the 70’s. But, it seems like there are rumors floating around that this is taking place everywhere… hence Television is now jumping on the bandwagon. If the show is successful, you can expect to see all of the networks creating a show of their own. Reality shows, games, shows, The ‘Real’ Wife-Swap (for the record, Wife Swapping is an old outdated term, that implies that the guys hold all of the power, when in reality they should just be happy to be included in the fun).

Neighborhoods and suburbs around the country are all buzzing about who’s doing who… what are the signs? How can I tell if my neighbor is a swinger? Does it matter? How do I become a swinger?

For the most part, it’s a bunch of hoopla and another reason for the neighborhood ‘busy-body’ to spread more rumors… as if there were not enough. Playtime is on the rise, but not at the level TV would like to have you believe. We here at Zinlightened.com are all for individual freedoms and think that as long as you are not infringing upon anyone else’s freedom, have yourselves a good time.

I have a theory as to the cause of the increase of activity and it is related directly to divorce. The divorce of the parents of people now in their prime. They have seen the results of their parents decisions and don’t want to follow in their footsteps. Marriage is not perfect and sometimes you need to take steps to spice things up a bit. You shouldn’t “call-off” the marriage because of boredom. Divorce affects far more people than just the husband and wife. It affects the children the most, and those affected children grow up to have a different outlook on life. They don’t want their children to experience the same boatload of issues. I could write an entire treatise on that subject, but I’ll spare you…

To look a little deeper into ‘Swingtown’ Truth or Fiction, check out this review.

“Bicentennial flags, TAB cola and suburban boners are what “Swingtown” is all about. The new series follows the 70s-era exploits of married couples who partake in wife swapping.

Yet how do these jovial relics of the Chicago suburbs compare to modern-day, real-life swingers found around San Francisco? I recently infiltrated the world of swingers (accompanied by a trusty sidekick) to find out what’s real and what’s fiction about “Swingtown.”
