Swinging in America
Original Air Date: September 17, 2006 AudioLink_2006_0917
Show Category: Sex
Show Description: Did you catch the ABC special miniseries this week called "The Outsiders." It covered a bunch of crazy stuff, but one in particular that caught my fancy was the "swinging couples." These are normal, middle-class, "suburban" marriages that go to clubs to trade off sexual partners and they claim it is good for their marriage. Think that's weird. It is becoming more and more normal. So you probably will never hear this talked about in church, but we are going to discuss it this Sunday!
