Many happily married couples engage in swapping, and even they are not sure why. I myself can only venture a very unscientific guess, one which is entirely subjective and not based on any empirical fact. That is, people feel the overwhelming need for change in their lives.
This need for change will prompt different people to do different things. In these cases, it has prompted the various individuals to seek the sexual company of other persons' husbands and wives. And, within the context of those relationships, it has prompted them to try various types of sex play that may ne new to them.
Many people who come to me say they would never dream of doing certain things with their own husbands and wives. There was one man who said he would never ask his wife to have anal intercourse with him. He said it wouldn't be proper. That is why he engages in swapping. When he is with someone else's wife he doesn't hesitate to ask the woman to have anal intercourse with him. The same was true of another man who wouldn't perform cunnilingus on his own wife.
We have seen this in the two female cases, also. Priscilla's and Cathy's needs for anal intercourse could only be satisfied outside of marriage, by swapping partners.
One thing I have found out though, and that is that people are hard to categorize. There is usually something about an individual that makes them unique. That is why general theories are so broadly defined: they have to be.
They searched anywhere and everywhere for couples to swap with… Friends or relatives, it made no difference.
His body was still hard and strong, and this woman, his wife's friend, appealed to more than his mind-she appealed to his hands, his mouth, his manhood-she was exhausted from the hours of sex, but still eager-and she let him take her again-and again.
