The "Swingtown" digs resemble a sleazier version of the "Brady Bunch" home. Apparently, they have a bit of expendable cash, which is true of the majority of swingers. These are often yuppies looking to be a little wild; their mundane lives are made exciting on weekends when they break out of the monotony of the everyday grind by partaking in a scandalously saucy little secret.
Although the party I attended took place at a three-level home in a lovely, quiet, nondescript neighborhood, I could immediately tell this wasn't an ordinary Saturday night, middle-class house party.
The dank smell, seedy lighting and pink walls gave it away. Occasionally, a man clad only in a towel walked by. It almost sounded like the house was haunted with the grunts and groans bellowing from upstairs.

Hi Guys,
Swinging house parties are certainly a representation of the swinging lifestyle, but be cautious basing your swinging perspective on any particular event. As with all "non-swinger parties", they are hosted by individuals, so all will be different from the others.
Also there's really nothing "sleazy" about swinging, just like there's nothing "sleazy" about sex; our culture just has a very strong sex phobia from centuries of sexual repression. Of course that varies on personal experiences, where you go and who you're with, just like any "non-swinging" group. :-)
Here are our first impressions of SwingTown, and reviews from a variety of active swinging couples.

Would love to know your thoughts and how your experiences differed...
Have an awesome day!

Parties do take place in private homes. They also take place in clubs, bars, hotels, resorts, yachts, ocean liners, airplanes, bowling alleys, hot springs, camp sites, etc.
Sometimes they are exclusively for swingers, and other times they are part of an event (e.g. a swinger softball team playing in a vanilla league, a swinger social at Burning Man, etc).
You "infiltrated" a single party and formed a global opinion. Imagine if I knew nothing about, say, scuba diving and so took a class in New England with a group of grumpy people I had nothing in common with; forming an opinion about how scuba divers are odd because they all dive in cold murky waters and were all grumpy people. The truth is much richer than your single experience provided.
There are parties for everyone. Check out a great list of them at http://www.kasidie.com/Parties.do?method=searchparties
