they did a study on the divorce rate amongst swingers and found that there is only a 2% divorce rate amongst people who swing. and they said that those were failing relationships that tried swinging to help the marriage. it does not help but it enhances a secure marriage. compare that to the devorce rate amongst the rest of the nation of married couples. they say its because there is no reason to cheat since it is allowed. like i said, we like it and are still together and our first time was 5 years ago. never was an issue at all.
