Swingers 23 OctÌý08
What is its impact on a couple?

It was supposed to be the classic 70s activity but it seems to have been reinvented for our own times: swinging, the pursuit of sexual pleasure primarily in a couple, with other couples. In an age when we’re all living longer and when the use of condoms is encouraged for casual sexual encounters, it’s said that this isÌýa harmless way of spicing up the sex life of a couple - with women very often in control. But is there a danger that women will be coerced into it? And what about its image – does it just seem irredeemably suburban andÌýmiddle class? Jane talks to Mark Brendon, the author of a new book, “Swingingâ€�, who is himself a swinger, and to psychologist Susan Quilliam.Ìý

“Swinging� by Mark Brendon is published by The Friday Project, ISBN 978-1-90-632113-0
