The History Of Swinging, How It All Began?

History of Swinging

We all love the lifestyle but, do you know how it began?

The history of the word "swinging" is that it was previously called wife swapping but "wife swappers" needed an easier name to describe the activity. As "wife swapping" gained popularity and media attention in the 1950's, the activity was changed to "swinging" and more recently"The Lifestyle" (we know it’s your favorite term).

WWII: Everyone becomes hotter...

Swinging has its roots from U.S. Air Force fighter pilots during World War II. These men were wealthy enough to move their wives close to base, and the fact that their fatality rate was the highest of any branch of service, led to an unusual social milieu in which non-monogamy between these pilots' wives and other pilots became acceptable. These arrangements persisted near Air Force bases throughout World War II and into the Korean War.

By the time the Korean War ended, these groups had spread from the bases to the nearby suburbs. The media picked up on them in 1957 and promptly dubbed  the phenomenon "wife-swapping.''

The Game

Supposedly there were also "key clubs" where husbands reportedly tossed their house keys into a pile in the center of the room where they were drawn at random by the wives. The owner of a selected key was the sexual partner for the evening.

 

Welcome to a lifestyle!

Swinging has always been about couples - Every national swing convention in the U.S., and as far as we know of in the world, is couples only. Today marriage is less important so non-married "couples" have been generally accepted but some swingers prefer only to participate with married couples.

Now that the theorycal part of the lifestyle has fed a part of you, let’s go on to the practice, because from now on, you’re not a swinger, you are a Swingee!

Thanks for reading, you are awesome!
