I see how unhealthy your brother's relationship is, that it is "below-average." I wonder, though, can an "average" relationship sustain swinging?... that is, if everyone *wanted* to try swinging, could most people (the bell-curve) handle it? Or is it really a matter of taste and what people want to try?

I guess it all depends on whether or not "average" means people are mature, communicating, committed, and respectful... gee, that sounds more like above-average!
