It's not cheating if you've been given permission to double dip, right?
Key parties, wife swapping and sweaty full-on orgies may be the stuff of great porn but, surprisingly, a large number of young, committed couples are refusing to let the silicone stars have all the fun.
More and more couples are bumping, grinding, rubbing and tugging on their own terms -- right along with other couples.
Swinging's attracting a newer, younger crowd, swing club owners say -- they're sexy, youthful and adventurous, and these pleasure-seekers may be living in a condo next door to you.
"Definitely we've noticed younger swingers," says Ruthy Muller, a veteran swinger who, along with husband, David, operates Happy Hedonist, a swingers club located in Mississauga.
Ten years ago when the Mullers swung open the doors of what was then called Club Prive, many of the partygoers were either seasoned swingers or sexually curious middle-aged couples. But, in the words of Bob Dylan, the times they are a changin'.
'It's incredible'
"There's a new generation of swingers," says Ruthy. "We're the oldest, although not in our minds. It's incredible," chirps the 53-year-old.
David, 62, agrees.
"There's been a change in mindset. It's more open. Soon we'll be fornicating in the streets," he says, half-jokingly.
Swingers clubs, once relegated to secretive, far-flung locations, are opening up in more accessible urban areas to cater to the growing number of kinky hedonists in their 20s and 30s.
Enter a swingers club a decade ago and you'd likely discover a smorgasbord of excitable older men and women. Now there's a growing number of fresh faces, known in the community as "newbies," who are pumping fresh energy into the lifestyle.
One of those newbies, who goes by the pseudonym Miss Rogue, has been swinging with her boyfriend for about a year. She is bisexual, but her partner, like many men in the scene, is not.
Few things turn her on as much as watching the love of her life having sex with another woman.
