You Just Think You are the Only Swinger in the Neighborhood

Today’s post is just some quick thoughts on how prevalent swinging is in America, to help you feel a little better about the Lifestyle you keep in your closet.  We have recently accidentally stumbled upon another neighbor who is in the Lifestyle. 

Picture this:
We now have three different couples who independently found their way to the Lifestyle, all of them separated by only one house between them.  That is right, at least for these three swingers and the houses in between we are at a 50/50 swinger/non-swinger ratio.

While I am sure this is a little above the true swinger distribution pattern in America, the fact that it happens let you know there are so many more swingers out there than you think there are.

Lets look at this in another way.  In our small subdivision we know of the following people who live here.

• 6 Swingers
• 3 Police officers
• 2 Teachers
• 1 Minister
• 1 Scientist
• And one incredibly hot Mrs. Gentlenibbles…. Sorry, but I just caught a glimpse of her picture on my desk!

The point is all of the groups above represent large interest groups in our society, yet Lifestyler’s who may outnumber them all still have trouble even finding each other.

As a scientist by trade, I can tell you statistics are worthless in small samplings although they work well to illustrate a point.  That being the case I once again refer to a ongoing poll at AskDanandJennifer.com, which illustrates with a much larger sampling the overall prevalence of Swinging and Polyamory in our culture.

The results as of this writing are:

When asked “Would you consider Polyamory or Swinging?”, out 6047 votes.

1,812 said, “Certainly, love the Lifestyle” (30%)

568 said, “I don’t have a problem with it, but it’s not for me” (9%)

2,288 said, “Maybe with the right group of friends” (38%)

793 said, “No way, monogamy is for me” (13%)

586 said, “Your all going to burn in hell for even thinking about it” (10%)

So out of a population of 6047 people only 23% are actively against it.  Only 32% said they would never try it!  And only 10% of 6047 are boring people who watch way too much Wheel of Fortune….
(Just kidding mom and dad,  I know you guys are praying for me and I agree that Pat Sajak does seem like a real nice fellow!  )

Of course someone can always criticise this poll by claiming since it is on a pro sexual health website it would not have many conservative religious participants.  Which once again goes back to the boring Wheel of Fortune comment, but nevertheless I will secede your point and change my phrasing thus. 

Out of 6047 normal and sexually healthy people who make their own decisions about life, only 32% said they would never try it.

Next time your cutting the grass, working in the garden, or eating some hamburgers at the neighborhood cookout take a closer look at some of your neighbors.  You may just staring at the clothed version of the naked ass you are going to be admiring at the club tomorrow night!

Peace out!  Word to your mother!  Breaking 2 Electric boogaloo!
