Question

i think they're same..wanna get sure..and what do u think about these 2 terms in social life?

Answer 1

I think they are both one and the same. And both stink.  

Answer 2

By definition they are both adultery, but if everyone involved agrees and are not hurting anyone I could care less what they do.

Answer 3

To me swinging is a couples thing.. open marriage is .. yeah adultery.

Answer 4

Some married couples do this with no problem, they can handle such complications.  I heard its extremely complicated.  I think its all s*x addiction between the husband and wife. I know a long time christian woman that commits tons of adultery.  Its because she is extremely addicted to men in general.  She has no control. No self control. s*x addicts. Its mostly atheist people that do this.

Answer 5

Open marriage means you can date other people without the other person around.  Swinging means you go out together to swingers clubs and anything goes in front of each other.

Both are adultery though.

Answer 7

Swinging usually involves a couple experiencing other people sexually, as a couple. An open marriage is more of a one on one situation.

We have been swinging for almost 9 years and are very happy with our decision to do so. We are the average couple with religious beliefs and morals.

The subject of adultery is so played out and my thought on it is......If God views our actions as being adultery, then we would be guilty as charged. But we have chosen this lifestyle and we enjoy it. We are not hurting or demeaning anyone, we simply enjoy sharing the love we make together with our friends and enjoy them sharing with us. We do not lie or cheat and we certainly do not keep secrets. We enjoy our marriage and are devoted to one another in the best way possible, the love we share between us.

Having an open marriage means that you and your husband are allowed to be intimate, date, and have s*x with other people.  Some couples require that they inform their spouse of what's going on (i.e. "I'm going on a date tonight..")  And other have a don't ask don't tell policy.

Swinging is when you go out as a couple and have s*x with other couples.  Lots of people practice both of these types of relationships.

Personally, I disagree with both and would never be a part of either relationship.  When I married my husband, that means I didn't want to share him and I can't imagine myself being emotionally or physically intimate with anyone else!  However, to each his own!  

If it works for your relationship, great.. but I think BOTH parties have to be 100% happy with it.  If one person is just doing it to satisfy the other person, it won't work.

Good luck!

Answer 9

I think that an open marriage is a don't ask, don't tell.

Swinging is something you do as a couple.

Both have no place in a marriage. If you want to sleep around and have multiple partners do not get married.

Answer 10

swinging is when the couple do there thing together with other  couples, open marriages are when one or the other go out and find their own s*x from someone else.

Answer 11

An open marriage is people just scr*wing around.  Swingers are a lifestyle with rules and the proper attitude.

Answer 12

Swinging = a couple's activity, both being involved at the same time with the same people (usually).

Open Marriage = two people in a relationship who agree that they do not require one another to be sexually exclusive in order to maintain a good, healthy relationship.  Open marriages have gotten a bad rap, probably because a great number of idiots s***w around on one another, and they don't care if their partner finds out or they PREFER that their partner knows so that they can call it something hip like an "open relationship" to appease their consciences.

Adultery = any act - physical, emotional, spiritual - that breaches an understood bond of trust between two people.  Period.  He may not actually get INTO her pants, but if he was given the chance, he'd jump at it...that's adultery.  A good rule of thumb: if you feel you have to cover your tracks, hide something, or otherwise be dishonest about your dealings with someone outside of your relationship, it's probably something you shouldn't be doing in the first place.  This is assuming that the spouse that you're lying to is emotionally stable, and you're not lying so that you can avoid being put into the hospital by him.
