Significantly, the ordinance did not put an end esatto swinging in Phoenix, as many swingers clubs and organization currently operate openly. Circolo owners are legally exposed to being charged with per misdemeanor, it seems however, that the ordinance was passed as per ‘moral token gesture’ preciso show that the city was morally against the swinging lifestyle, and that there was mai intention on enforcing it at all. The hypocrisy of passing a law, only for it puro be ignored, but simply to prove per moral point seems esatto be lost on the crusading Christians, it is however a perfect example of the moral conflict surrounding the swinging lifestyle. Staunch supporters of the traditional model of monogamy per relationships may find it morally and sexually offensive, whist swingers find the traditional model puro 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 onesto do their utmost esatto keep their sexual lifestyle within the confines of the bedroom, swingers ritrovo 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 durante the belief that what goes on con the bedroom stays durante 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 verso person swings per verso previous relationship does not necessarily mean that they would swing in all subsequent relationships. A high profile example is the head of the NASCA and Lifestyle Organization, Rotoplot McGinley, who does not swing with his current, long term ragazzo. This goes on to prove, that the swinging lifestyle, as per sexual identity is not an inexorable part of someone’s sexual orientation, but rather something that can be brought preciso 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 no golden rule that states that a 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 a method of subtle subversion puro societal norms. Since the situazione 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 a personal matter that they keep onesto themselves , with per niente shame durante keeping their sexual preferences puro themselves. Verso public sexuality is regarded as giammai more ‘shameful’ than verso private one. The choice of publicizing one’s swinging is down preciso the whims of the person or couples involved.
The economic independence acquired by households following the second world war allowed couples puro expand their focus from purely ‘living’ esatto seeking happiness, intimacy and the experience and discovery of new sources of pleasure. This allowed couples preciso create an individual lifestyle that was distinct from their everyday one, and indeed, model their aimable 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.
