Northern European Swingers to Gather in Crete

Talk about alternative forms of tourism. According to reports, a hotel in Stalida, on the island of Crete is going to host the members of a swingers club, from the Netherlands this summer. The swingers are expected to begin arriving in Crete after Easter. The website claims that the club has already booked the entire hotel and asked the manager and staff for total discretion. (obviously!)

According to Wikipedia: Swinging, is also known as wife swapping or partner swapping, and is a non-monogamous behavior where both singles and partners in a committed relationship engage in sexual activities with others as a recreational or social activity. Other terms sometimes encountered are wife sharing, partner sharing, wife trading and wife lending, which describe similar concepts, usually in sociological or anthropological research. As these terms have become dated, with women participating as fully in the decision making process as their male partners, the more gender-neutral term "swinging" has gained popularity.

People may choose a swinging lifestyle for a variety of reasons. Many cite the increased quality, quantity and frequency of sex. Some people may engage in swinging to add variety into their otherwise conventional sex lives or due to their curiosity. Some couples see swinging as a healthy outlet and means to strengthen their relationship. Others regard such activities as merely a social and recreational interaction with others.
