This practical arrangement supplants the socially arbitrated and pre-determined convention of monogamy
The concept of monogamous relationships has been inexorably tied to the institution of marriage between couples (as well as that of relationships mediante the ‘commitment’ phase). It is noteworthy however that monogamy is required for neither of the above, rather, it is society that assumes that the former cannot exist without the latter. Swinging and swingers are not hell bent on destroying either marriage or relationships between couples mediante their more general scope. Rather, the distinguishing that the imposition of monogamy onto their relationship is purely societal allows swinger couples to maintain relationships that mature sicuro per point where the aforementioned sexual power dynamic is fluid and re-negotiated at per subconscious plane.
Verso consistent point that emerged from research by Thomas & Terry Gould, is that sopra nearly each and every interview held, it was the dolore part mediante couples that first suggested swinging onesto the woman. However, it was then the woman that made the effort to maintain this lifestyle practice. Swinging offers women more than sexual freedom.
