<title>Slog - Comments on The Italians</title>
<link>http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/the_italians</link>
<description>If a new report is to be believed, it seems a quarter of all Italian couples regularly take part in wife swapping. The revelation comes not from the seedier quarters of the country that gave the world Casanova, but from the usually po-faced pages of national broadsheet La Stampa. According to yesterday&apos;s front page article, entitled &quot;The Lunch Time Swingers&quot;, an estimated 500,000 Italian couples are officially swapping partners at private sex clubs, with thousands more doing it in a more ad-hoc fashion in car parks, specially designated beaches or even cemeteries. Note One I wonder what the percentage is...</description>

<title>Comment by I am your Mother</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Ummm . . . shouldn't the term be 'husband-swapping?' Or better yet 'partner-swapping?'  Or even better 'partner-sharing' or 'intermittent poly-amorous dalliances of short duration?'</p>

<p>Why is the reference point the husband and his 'control' of and permission to 'swap' his wife for a different model.</p>

<p>Oh ECB where are you? </p>

<p>Please post photos of your slapping Mr. Mudede for his unforgivable heterocentric, male chauvinist elitism.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@5.  Agreed.  Wife swapping implies ownership of the wife by the husband, or at the very least, complete passivity on the part of the wife in the swapping arrangement.  </p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Will in Seattle</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I don't buy this.</p>

<p>I think what happens is, like the French, people don't get divorced even when they're sleeping with other people.</p>

<p>You can use statistics to prove anything, especially when you misuse them.</p>

<p>As to who is being swapped - it's probably a sliding scale, depending on who's involved.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>That is a lovely quote -- it manages to highlight all the worst aspects of Marxism:<br />
<ul><br />
  <li>* puritanism (all that icky sex!)</li><br />
  <li>* envy (they get all the sex!)</li><br />
  <li>* demonization (the bourgeois get all the sex!)</li><br />

<title>Comment by violet_dagrinder</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Being openly poly, I've found that people feel safe confiding in me about their "arrangements". This is so common that I've come to believe that monogamy is almost an urban legend. Truly monogamous couples are, by far, the exception. Most people who aren't cheating have some sort of 'extras' allowed. It's pretty remarkable how many people are keeping the reality of their relationships totally under wraps.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I know what you're thinking. Did he make six references to Marx in this post, or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is SLOG, the most self-referential blog in the world, and would drive you bat-shit crazy, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky?</p>
