Nebraskans not in on the swingin’ scene Ii may be that there are small conclaves of enthusiasts every where, but on the surface Lincoln’s swing scene is standing still. According to Mike Sager in last month’s Esquire magazine, millions of consenting adults nationwide are meeting regularly with total strangers to fulfill their sexual fan tasies. Swingers — that’s what these people call themselves. Thev are typically middle class, white, open minded couples who are looking for that extra something to spice up their sex lives. Swingers meet through maga zines, clubs and 900-phone lines, nqpe of which come cheap. Friend ship Express, a euphemistically titled national swingers contact maga zine, retails for S6.95. In between the glossy covers, poorly developed black and white photos show images of swingers either naked or semi-naked. Be neath, short informercials eptice the reader. Courtesy of Aspire Inc. A “married white couple” in Colorado “seeks same and bi-fe males for fun and hot times.” In Michigana “sex-loving whitecouple want meetings with white and ori ental bi-couples and bi-females only. No single men, blacks, S/M, B/D. (Bondage/Domination)" When swingers get together what goes on is presumably dependent on the tastes of those involved. Experimentation is a key theme, but all swingers reserve the right to refuse. Your basic, run-of-the-mill, ge neric sw inger orgy is a threesome: either a two-female, one-male free for-all (apparently bisexuality is okay for women ...) or two males, one female where the lady’s regular partner will do nothing more than watch (. . . and definitely not ac ceptable for men). For that and other reasons, single women are generally requested more than men. If orgies start to get a little dull, videotaping always provides added excitement. Alternately, there’sS&M, cross-dressing or a themed night— Greek, Roman or some other cos tume. These are normal, respectable, God-fearing people, so bestiality is out of the question. But believe it or not, the good-looking couple who lives two doors down >he street probably aren’t .setting up the video equipment in their back room for their next amateur orgy'. The Adult Video Center on O Street has only one advertisement for Lincolnites interested in swing ing— a group called Mid-Nebraska Friendship looking for couples and middle-aged single women to join their membership. Friendship Express carries only six listings for Nebraska. Of those, two are from single traveling sales men, who appear to be deliberately missingthepointofswinging. Three ■ others, from women who make claims such as, “Gives passionate fellatio; loves vigorouspenetration,” look suspiciously like loosely dis guised covers for prostitution. That leaves only one, from a “married white couple in their mid 30s" that appears to be a genuine attempt toget involved in theswing ing lifestyle. It would seem that, whatever Nebraskansaredoingafterhours.it is not swinging. — Matthew Grant is a SWM, and Diver sions Contributor.
