Thumbs down Sex on everyone's mind at swinging convention
Some 3,000 people gathered on Saturday at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas for the annual Lifestyles conference, a five-day, $700-per-couple event that offers a mix of seminars, socializing and sex.
Sex is on everyone's mind at swinging convention



Swinging couples are people unwilling to confront marital problems, who glamourize their infidelity by doing it in an open and agreed upon fashion.

And once again we see a heterosexual guy who is opposed JUST to acts of male homosexuality and NOT to acts of female homosexuality.

Just goes to prove that it's really about their own hang-ups on guy-on-guy sex instead of any real objection to homosexuality in general...

What???? It's not my hangup. You know as well as me that swingers are usually only accepting of homosexual behavior if it's the women. Don't include me and Mrs. Alias in that group.

The "hangup" here is how adverse your reaction is to male homosexuality.

And I don't "know as well as you" anything about swingers.
You seem much more knowledgeable on the subject than I...

I'm more knowledgeable on a lot of subjects than you are. Admitting your deficiencies is the first step to recovery.

Looks like another stereotypical reaction on your part. According to this survey and other sites on the internet, swingers are for the most part middle class conservatives.


"The results of a national on-line survey of 1092 swingers are discussed. Questions from the General Social Survey are used to compare political, social, and sexual attitudes of swingers with the general population in the U.S. Measures of marital and general life satisfaction from the G.S.S. are also used to compare the groups. A preliminary attempt is also made to determine the level of childhood abuse and family dysfunction in the backgrounds of swingers. It is concluded that swingers surveyed are the white, middle-class, middle-aged, church-going segment of the population reported in earlier studies, but when it comes to attitudes about sex and marriage they are less racist, less sexist, and less heterosexist than the general population. Swinging appears to make the vast majority of swingers' marriages happier, and swingers rate the happiness of their marriages and life satisfaction generally as higher than the non-swinging population. Implications of the study and its limitations are also included".......

Wow, what an eye opener. Have a look at this article.

"o matter what your attitude toward swinging is, it’s a safe bet The Lifestyle will offend you. If you’re repelled by the sight of doughy, pale, liver-spotted bipeds engaged in sloppy sexual congress, well, there’s enough of that on display here to put you off your feed for weeks. But if you’re a Left-leaning, sexually tolerant sort, there’s plenty here to make you squirm, too; the subjects of The Lifestyle are not the broad-minded, pioneering souls you might wish them to be. They are, instead, conservative, back-yard barbecue types—plain suburban folk with middle-aged physiques and middle-aged attitudes, not at all unlike your aunts and uncles . . . except, of course, for their willingness to happily share said physiques with a roomful of their neighbors. One particularly chipper swinger tells us about the untapped political power of the thousands across the nation who engage in what initiates call "the lifestyle"; they share remarkably consistent politics, and if they ever voted in a bloc, he tells us, they could elect the next president. Given the attitudes displayed by some in the film, that prospect chills the blood"......

They sure don't sound like conservative prudes to me.

ROFLMAO!

You can't even be bothered to accurately figure out what your opponents are actually saying on this message board.
And you claim to be "more knowledgeable"?

Really dude.
WHO do you think you are kidding?


But back to the subject at hand.
Do you admit that your opposition to gays centers around male-male homosexuality, while you have little to no aversion for female-female homosexuality?
I mean, the answer is an obvious yes from your previous statements, but can you actually be honest enough to admit it?
