Could you explain this further? I'm not quite sure that I understand what you mean?
I THINK you mean that those who participate in a swinging relationship have trouble with intimacy with their partners. I personally have not seen that in any of the swinger couples that we are friends with. Several of them we've known for a few years. It seems to me that the intimacy between my husband and myself intensified when we began swinging because the level of trust and respect increased tenfold. The couples we know that we swing with have a deep intimacy between themselves. Many of them frequently act like newlyweds and have a sweet intimacy that some older couples have lost touch with. Their intimacy seems deep enough that I've seen some communicate volumes with each other with just a look. This comes from the increased communication necessary to have a swinging relationship.
I cannot speak for purely open relationships that allow each partner to pursue other affairs on their own with only planket permission to do so and not communication of those affairs with the partners in the relationship. Those situations are outside of my realm of experience. I can only speak for a purely swinger relationship.
