Parties aren't like they used to be. This weekend my husband and I attended a party with a mixed crowd: swingers (me and soccer dad), voyeurs (one couple), and non-swingers (everyone else). We've seen the voyeur couple a few times at local swinger clubs and actually know them from our vanilla life. They like dressing and behaving borderline inappropriate, but never actually have sex with others. They claim they're swingers but I think they just like the attention.
No one else at the party is aware of our lifestyle.
