So for the sake of argument there is a couple here that does whatever is implied or hoped for 2 out of 100,000 = .00002 or two thousandths of one percent.......woweee!

I am always searching for a polite way to emphasize just how STUPID and ridiculous the subject is.....haven't found it yet.

No, you haven't!!

I am the OP, and honestly, this is the first I've heard of wife swapping being rampant in TV, and it came from an outsider to my son, from a person whom I thought to be less rude. I wanted to know if others knew anything about that, or if it was the same as the STD myth.

I appreciate the responses/keystrokes. Actually got some information (thanks, Senior).

It's the only view of The Villages that many people outside TV have of here! Its been written about often in the mainstream media all over the world.

Get a copy, read it, and see if you think its the view you have of living here?

The place I read about is not the place I see every day!

p.s. The STD pap comes from what as I remember being 1 line in the book whre the author states that he "talked to a health care worker who told him STD's were a problem here"...no facts to in book to substantiate.

About the STD myth……

Doctors In Retirement Community Seeing Increase In STDs

THE VILLAGES, Fla. —
Doctors in The Villages are seeing increased numbers of seniors afflicted with a health problem most associate with the young. Sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise.

The Villages boasts itself as Florida's friendliest hometown. It's one of the state's largest retirement communities, where hits from yesteryear are piped thru the market square and golf carts are the vehicle of choice.

Doctors in the age-restricted community are seeing increased numbers of cases of herpes, and the Human Papillomavirus virus, or HPV.

While statistics aren't yet reflecting the trend, one physician at the Women's Center of The Villages said, even in her years working in Miami, she has never seen so many cases.

I was talking with a married lady friend who told me that there really is quite a bit of the swinging lifestyle here in The Villages. The wearing of a light blue golf shirt is supposed to be a "sign" that you are swing style minded.

The next day, my wife returned from Beall's with a gift for me - a really nice light blue golf shirt!

We had dinner that night with the friend and her husband who had told me about the "sign" and as soon as she saw me in that shirt, she turned beet red and then broke into uncontrollable laughing.

Outside of that, the shirt has evoked no other responses. Darn!

From The Orlando Sentinel

In Central Florida, where The Villages and other retirement communities sprawl across several counties, reported cases of syphilis and chlamydia increased 71 percent among those 55 and older in that same period. And South Florida saw a 60 percent rise in those two sexually transmitted infections among the same age group, according to the Florida Department of Health.

Buggy, you just need to get around more in that blue shirt. Get in your golf cart and put yourself out there!

If it is happening - who really cares? Stuff like this, burglaries, spousal abuse, drug abuse, alcoholism, etc. occur in every community so we are probably no different just because we live here - at least its a beautiful, clean, orderly and desirable area to live in despite our internal personal issues

P.S.S
He isn't a swinger, last I knew

Obviously you want to be asked, so....."Do tell!" Was the book written 18 years ago? Is he "Mr. 9:00" now?

[l2ridehd]

So, you haven't been invited? I heard it was a husband swapping club. I get offered out to do that all the time. Except it's to go fix something that the other "husband" doesn't know how to do. Guess I just hang with the "wrong" crowd.

There was a huge amount of websites for this type of activities, all under The Villages. Again, maybe they are just using a familiar name recognition. However, the posters who did post and are within zero mile, meaning close, some said Lady Lake, others say The Villages, are ranging in ages from 65, 50's , 40's to 28. Most seem married or with a partner. A few singles.

SwingLifeStyle.com was the first such listing that comes up, followed by many many many many more, all claiming to be affiliated with TV.

None of us are nuns or priests (that I know of) however, sometimes where there is smoke, there is fire.....and some truth to all rumors.

I still recall the ADVERTISEMENT on TOTV for a room for rent for anyone needing to relax......it had photos, etc. I wasn't the only one who saw that ad on TOTV (that mysteriously later disappeared) The room was advertised for sure. It has a pole for pole dancing in the corner.......crummy old motel. Cheap chairs outside the door. But the "Pole" was there in all its glory.

So, whoever does the ads, either it slipped their notice......or someone really is advertising for a certain group. Hey, different strokes for different folks.........

Oh my!!

Be very careful what you google. They will have your Url and you will receive all kind of spam. It will be given to other seedy porn sites.

You may be surprised what I found when I Googled "Bennington, Vermont swingers" (your hone town of 16,000) lo and behold up popped a listing of Benningtn, Vermont swingers from your neighborhood!

The Internet is filled with false and inaccurate information. We have been in our new hometown, The Villages, and we have not seen one iota of some kind of "swinging lifestyle," ridiculous! We are all the younger Villagers south of 466A too! All that we see are a great bunch of nice people who live life to the fullest.
