Posted by on November 11, 2011 at 9:01 pm

by Jason Stotts I found out recently from Kasidie that Playboy TV is currently having a casting call for new people for the second season of their reality TV show “Swing.”  I talked about it briefly in February (link), but I think it’s grew that Playboy is trying to show swinging in a realistic light [...]

Sexual Distinctions: Candaulism, Cuckold, Threesomes

Candaulism Candaulism is a term that comes to us from the Greek myth of King Candaules. In the myth, the king surreptitiously reveals his wife to one of his ministers. The sexual practice, then, is when [...]

Posted by on February 20, 2011 at 12:58 pm

by Jason Stotts Playboy TV just started a new reality TV show called “Swing” about the lifestyle.  What’s funny is that I actually know some of the people on the show, Ashely and Early, as they’re friends of friends.  It’s interesting to see people you know on a reality TV show and it’s even more [...]

Contra Peikoff on Swinging

Posted by on August 23, 2010 at 10:01 pm

by Jason Stotts Recently, Leonard Peikoff took a question about swinging on his podcast and I think his answer fails to address the reality of swinging and of non-monogamy more generally.  In his analysis, Peikoff glosses over important distinctions that are relevant to a moral analysis of swinging and even goes so far as to [...]

by Jason Stotts In this essay, I want to explore the concept of permissiveness and exclusivity as they relate to relationships.  I want to explore the idea that relationships exist along a continuum of permissiveness with a completely jealous relationship at one extreme and an open relationship at the other, with exclusive relationships and swinging [...]

Swinging: A Different Perspective

Posted by on January 27, 2010 at 6:06 pm

by Jason Stotts I’ve been planning to write a detailed essay on swinging and its moral implications for some time now. Unfortunately this is not that essay. It is, however, a detailed look at one important aspect of swinging and one reason why I think that some people find so much value in it. For [...]
