1) Why is it that in England fat obnoxious men with beards don't have girlfriends and drink lots of real ale, but in the middle east they have lots of wives and never touch a drop?

2) Bearing in mind that in the seventies it was a much-mocked suburban phenomenon and now is a trendy lifestyle choice, can anyone give me a precise date when swinging was rebranded as polyamory?

it wasn't, it isn't...

I'm Poly, I am NOT a swinger. I don't do sex with random people, or anything similar. I have tried swinging and found it dull.

I build loving and lasting relationships with more than one person (in theory) that's polyamoury

Given my personal history, I am *so* not going to comment.

You're lovely, you are.

I know, but that's hardly the point

2 has been spoken to, so 1 is it then...

1. Easy ... precisely what you get when you have a secretive society that locks away at least half the population in ignorance of various shades.

The Athenians were big on that, remember.

I can't say there's much connection to alchohol though. ;-)

I don't have anything insightful to say, but I now have "King of the Swingers" from the Jungle Book running on playback through my head.

It's Swinging when performed by overweight and overly hairy couples advertising in Contacts Magazine, but polyamoury when performed by young, beautiful and emotionally sensitive people.

Obviously.

Erotic is using a feather, pornographic is using the whole chicken.
