Group sex; a scientist's eyewitness report on the American way of swinging
Gilbert D. Bartell
HQ 18 U5 B33
Northern Illinois University Anthropology Professor Bartell and his wife Ann conducted a 3 year anthropological study of 350 Americans involved in swinging as well as group sex in general. They were able to visit many groups and parties in the Chicago area as well as interview individuals and couples. In addition to describing the swinging phenomena as it occurs, the book also attempts to theorize competently about how swinging emerged in American middle class society. How and why couples start, how they find each other, what social, erotic and sexual activities take place before and during threesomes, foursomes and group parties, time and location demands, the influence on marriage and relationships, pros and cons etc. are all covered. While granting that swinging seems, at first glance, to be the very antithesis of American middle-class morality, the author says we should take a second look.
