Significantly, the ordinance did not put an end esatto swinging durante Phoenix, as many swingers clubs and organization currently operate openly. Ritrovo owners are legally exposed esatto being charged with a misdemeanor, it seems however, that the ordinance was passed as per ‘moral token gesture’ sicuro esibizione that the city was morally against the swinging lifestyle, and that there was niente affatto intention on enforcing it at all. The hypocrisy of passing verso law, only for it to be ignored, but simply onesto prove a moral point seems esatto be lost on the crusading Christians, it is however per perfect example of the moral conflict surrounding the swinging lifestyle. Staunch supporters of the traditional model of monogamy mediante relationships may find it morally and sexually offensive, whist swingers find the traditional model preciso be almost unnatural.
The above moral conflict beggars the question of weather the swinging lifestyle could be compared with other sexual identities, such as homosexuality. The opposite is indicated by the fact that swingers appear preciso do their utmost preciso keep their sexual lifestyle within the confines of the bedroom, swingers circolo or lifestyle resort. Swingers do not flaunt their sexuality in the same way that many homosexuals do, and most swinging couples do not tell their family or friends about their sexual identity per the belief that what goes on mediante the bedroom stays mediante the bedroom.
The polarizing aspect of the morals durante question indicate that this is indeed so
Swingers consider the lifestyle a choice that each person (and couple) should make for himself or herself. The fact that a person swings in a previous relationship does not necessarily mean that they would swing durante all subsequent relationships. A high profile example is the head of the NASCA and Lifestyle Organization, Sein McGinley, who does not swing with his current, long term partner. This goes on to prove, that the swinging lifestyle, as a sexual identity is not an inexorable part of someone’s sexual orientation, but rather something that can be brought onesto the surface if it is fitting esatto the current relationship. Furthermore, this contradicts the long time belief that sexuality is something that pervades all other areas of verso person’s life.
This period of economic and sexual expansion facilitated the separation of sex and procreation
On the other hand, whilst there is in nessun caso golden rule that states that verso person’s sexual identity should consume, or bear itself on other non-sexual aspects of that person’s life, many swinger couples might subconsciously be attracted puro the swinging lifestyle as per method of subtle subversion to societal norms. Since the stato quo of western society dictates that sexual matters are private and should remain durante the bedroom, swinger couples adopt this mentality and turn it against the society that espouses it, and regard the swinging lifestyle as verso personal matter that they keep onesto themselves, with niente affatto shame durante keeping their sexual preferences preciso themselves. Per public sexuality is regarded as in nessun caso more ‘shameful’ than per private one. The choice of publicizing one’s swinging is down puro the whims of the person or couples involved.
The economic independence acquired by households following the second world war allowed couples onesto expand their focus from purely ‘living’ to seeking happiness, intimacy and the experience and discovery of new sources of pleasure. This allowed couples esatto create an individual lifestyle that was distinct from their everyday one nessun match skout, and indeed, model their social live around their sexual preferences. This was the petri dish from which the modern swinging lifestyle emerged and blossomed into the vibrant community it is today.
