Comments: In the first chapter of his book Peter Sagal discusses the swinging lifestyle. He and his wife Beth went to a swinger's party by way of research, at the invitation of a couple who open their home (for a price) to other practitioners of the Lifestyle roughly once a week.
"We are told, via their occasional interviews in the press, that swingers or Lifestylers or whatever are no different from you and me...they meet up to socialize, talk, drink, and dance with their good friends, old and new. And then they have sex with them. Which makes me stop, and consider the various good friends my wife and I have, and then consider how it would be if one of our suburban dinner parties ended with us removing our clothes and performing sexual acts, and I have to put my head between my knees and take deep breaths."

that sounds hilarious - you've certainly peaked my interest enough to not only add it to my wish list, but to put it on order from my local library! hope you keep having fun with the read-a-thon, and well done on the very enjoyable progress reports!

Yeah, I not only must have much less attractive friends than those people, but I have no real interest in facing someone I'm friends with after having sex with them!
