Turned on to swinging by a chance series of events in his life, Mark Brendon found it to be stimulating, satisfying, and emotionally rewarding—an experience totally at odds with the often cynical and always inaccurate picture presented by the media. Opening with an orgy scene where a testy husband is urging his otherwise-engaged wife to "hurry up, the babysitter's waiting," this revealing book paints a realistic picture of the relative normality of this lifestyle. Honest, funny, thoughtful, and erotic, the author entertains and enlightens the reader as he describes attending parties held in clubs, on beaches, and in private homes. He explores why, where, and how people swing; outlines the subculture's history, principles, and rules; and looks to a future in which swinging might just save some cherished institutions—including marriage itself. Racy and accurate, this fascinating book will appeal to experienced swingers and vanillas alike.
