My wife and I have been friends with another couple for about six years. This other couple were married young, didn’t take much time to “sow their oats.” Last year, while on vacation with this other couple, they admitted to us that they had attended a “swinger’s party” because they had been curious about what it would be like to have an “open relationship” where they could stay married, but also be free to explore their fantasies with others outside of their relationship. But a problem arose when she ended up enjoying the experience far more than he did. Since then, the couple has been dealing with issues of jealousy and distrust of one another. My wife and I were not surprised by this and thought immediately that our friends should have expected this. But the question is, are we being too prudish? How many married couples have been involved in "Open relationships" or have attended a "swinger’s party?" If you have, did you find it pleasurable or did it create a rift between you and your significant other?
