do swingers divorce/break up more or less than non swingers?

Question

are they just more honest than ordinary couples who have affairs etc?

Answer 1

usually they are more honest with each other however once a swinger always a swinger. They fall in love with the excitement and will always have that itch that can only be scratched by the swing... there fore, they would probably tend to break up more often than non swingers. in my opinion of course,

Answer 2

Good answer from Antirion. Doubt if April G knows what she is talking about as she is not a swinger. Don't knock it til you've tried it, love.

I have absolutely idea on the statistics of whether swingers divorce or break up more or less. However, i can comment on the other part of your question about being more honest.

Swinging is nothing like having an affair. There are different aspects/ways of swinging that are as varied as the swingers.

My husband and i are occasional swingers. All it means to us is that we are comfortable around another person/s naked and don't mean our spouse having certain sexual relations with the other people. We always do same room swinging, some people don't.

If you are interested in swinging then find out more and take it slowly, but only with your partner's agreement. It has its good side and its problems too.

I have to say i find swinging fun, but we don't do it all the time.

Answer 3

In every marriage there is something one partner holds back from the other one. Being brutally honest with someone you wish not to offend is tough and risky business, most people will lie rather than risk the outcome in order to "protect the relationship".
Doesn't it seem funny that everyone on here says they would never have sex with anyone else....never cheat.... yet the divorce rate shows otherwise.......Hummmmm

Swingers tend to be more open with their partners which means that they also are not judgmental with each other. The other thing is that swingers actually want their partner to enjoy all life has to offer.... including sex with others if that's what they want. Contrary to popular belief, swinging does not mean your out screwing everything that walks, most are pretty picky. It's not about just sex folks, it's about being open and giving!

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/HAX0v

Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:

- Start by understanding and being informed.

You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.

The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

Answer 5

Open marriages/partnerships are just an excuse to cheat really-to go where the grass is supposed to be greener,with consent. I wouldn't know the ratio's of break ups,or the honesty factors involved in swinging,therefore i am not qualified to answer,as it is not something i have ever done,nor would ever contemplate doing. In my opinion...and its just an opinion-its just as wrong,and still means all is not well at home for them to be going out and doing it. If someone wants different sexual partners,or different sexual experiences,why not just stay single...there are enough single people out there,from all over the world,surely?

Answer 6

they're just people who are at a stage in their lives where they feel that doing this would be right for both of them. just like other people might decide to part own a house or share a bank account

it has its pros and cons, and if couples who do not honestly believe in this brand of relations then the breakup (or change in behaviour) will come soon

another thing to consider is that the more people that are involved in anything, the more chance for disagreement, but can you also get more variety and less boredom out of it too

Answer 7

Ethical, moral and philosophical arguments aside, the cold, hard facts are pretty simple.
Couples with "open marriages" or a "swinging" lifestyle are statistically much more stable than traditional marraiges. Though typically suggested/instigated by the men, this type of lifestyle tends to be perpetuated by the women.
Those who participate in this lifestyle, statistically, report being much more happy in their relationship than those in traditional ones.
Not that I'm arguing for the lifestyle... never participated in it myself. I just know the data.

Answer 8

I would say less, because you have to be at a different level of trust and understanding. I believe it makes you closer, more intimate, because you have to really discuss things before you start "swinging". You have to talk about your sexual fantasies, and deepest desires openly with your spouse or significant other.
The people I know who live the "alternative lifestyle" very rarely divorce or split up.
And one good thing is they never cheat.

Answer 9

OK I can't say which get divorce more ...but I do know that many if not most relationships fail because of cheating and lies.
swingers are more open and honest with what they want , expect, and will accept from their partners.
we love each other , trust, communicate, and are committed to each other.
we just want to experience sex with others, live out some fantasy's.
don't want to sit back one day and wonder about what I missed ....

Answer 10

probably the same i expect. people mainy do swinging because they're bored with their partners and rather than break up they try swinging which is an honest way of having sex with someone else but ultimately the problems will still be there and the novelty of swinging will probably wear off and that will be boring so they will look for another thrill - -someone else perhaps and leave.
