Discovery Fit & Health Show Explores Secret Sex Lives Of Swingers

Freaks! There’s a new TV show shining the spotlight on some unconventional practices going on in Atlanta…

Via MailOnline reports:

A new reality show will follow five ‘average, all-American’ couples as they juggle marriages, careers and daily life with swinging.

Couples that star in Secret Sex Lives: Swingers are professionals and parents in committed relationships living in Atlanta, Southern town in the heart of the Bible belt with a lively swinger’s scene’, and are in committed relationships.

The Discovery Fit & Health show will provide an in-depth look into the nuances of how they navigate swinger relationships and psychology – and also give audiences a voyeuristic look into their lifestyle.

‘The biggest misconception about the swinger lifestyle is that we’re hooking up with people day and night, or that I’m a stripper or something,’ says Jaymee, a senior account executive who has been swinging for three years with her lawyer husband Chris.

He agrees that setting ground rules is crucial. ‘I’m not like Tiger Woods, picking up chicks behind Jaymee’s back and hooking up with them.’

Jaymee says that she gave birth six weeks ago to the couple’s first child.

‘When I found out I was pregnant my first thought was “thank God I haven’t hooked up with any other guys lately, so it’s definitely Everett’s baby.”‘

The show also follows Rebecca and her consultant husband Chris on a double date with a new couple. In many ways the nervousness mirrors the awkwardness of a normal first date, which is why Rebecca explains that she has a ‘safety word’.

‘If I’m having a good time, I say yes when he asks if I want to order dessert,’ she explains.

At a dinner party across town, swimwear designer Hali and her husband Bryan explain the swinger lingo to newcomers Jayson and Heidy, who have expressed interest in the lifestyle.

For example when swinging, couples must decide if they will allow ‘Full Swap’, which is full no-holds-barred sex, or stop at a ‘Soft Swap’, which usually does not include intercourse.

To find a swap partner, couples also try to avoid the more ‘Vanilla’ monogamous duos, with the help of a ‘Cruise Director’ – a person in charge of the action at a swinger’s party.

If they get really lucky, they may meet a ‘Unicorn’ – a single woman who sleeps with couples – but Bryan explains that ‘everyone is looking for this girl, but no one has ever met her’.

Initially, Heidy seems reluctant. But on an evening out with the other couples, it’s Jayson who gets jealous after he finds Heidy talking to another man in the bedroom.

Many signs of a swinger seem fairly obvious, such as: ‘Couples who are openly flirting with other couples.’

But other things to watch out for, like a ‘pineapple placed upside down in a shopping cart’ or ‘pampas grass in the front yard garden,’ seem more like urban myths.

Swingers can also apparently be identified by the outside of their homes. According to Discovery’s website, pink and purple decorations in the yard or white landscaping rocks are both signs of alternative sexuality.

So is body jewelry: Thumb rings, toe rings, waist chains and a woman moving her wedding ring to her right hand are all signs of a swinger – as are yin-yang tattooAccording to Swinger Social Network, swingers account for two- to- four per cent of married couples, or an excess of two million people in North America.
