It seems like a popular genre of nonfiction are these books that all have the same theme, "my first year in the lifestyle/swinging".
A man (usually), sometimes a woman or couple, tell their story about deciding to become a swinger and all of the knowledge they've learned in that year. They are usually voyages of self discovery where they go on a sexual journey. 3sums and 4sums and non monogamy and feelings and jealousy and lots of deep thoughts. Usually by the end of the year they've gone through their journey and "figured it all out".
I would like to call BS on this.
I think back on where we were after we had been doing this for one year vs. now. We've grown so much, learned so much, changed so much. One year just isn't a long enough time to figure all of this stuff out. I'm not sure what that even means?! Like everything in life I'm constantly growing and learning and changing from my experiences.
I've never read one of those books and I don't think I ever will. I just can't imagine I would learn anything from them. It might be hot to read some of the stories but I can find free porn stories on the internet any time!
So, "My First Year in Swinging". Bah!
