Swinging: A Swedish pastime?

Stockholm: Judging by the number of column inches devoted to the subject in recent months, it seems that swinging is Sweden's new favorite hobby. "It's fun and I like to have several men at once," says Annika, a 41-year-old shop assistant from Stockholm. "I started swinging just for another experience," she says. "I don't have a boyfriend, but several lovers instead. So when I go swinging, I just take one of them along with me."
"Things can get pretty 'interesting' at times," says Leif, organizer and owner of Svenska Swingers. "At our 'relax' club night, anyone can come - there is no restriction in terms of sexual orientation: bisexuals, homosexuals, transvestites, transsexuals - everyone is welcome."
The Svenska Swingers website was launched in 1999 and currently has over 7,500 members, who reputedly include celebrities, judges, policemen and politicians. The Gothenburg-based organization holds an event once a month for about 50 to 60 people. Leif explains that one of the most common questions he receives from new members is, 'what will I do if I meet my neighbor?'
"People feel a shame connected with swinging, many may talk about it, but few actually do it. Swinging is not socially accepted at all. People condemn it as if it's some sort of disorder. There is a real double moral in Sweden. Freedom of speech and expression is held in such high regard for issues such as religion, but when it comes to sex, you cannot be public in any way."
The club doesn't admit any men under 25. Apparently, "they get too overexcited and just run around the place chasing orgasms. "The club does have some young women members though: "They call themselves 'nymphs'. These girls say that they need massive amounts of sex, but don't want the hassle of relationships. Some of these girls have 'parties' with multiple men at once on a weekly basis."
Leif adds: "A friend of mine said that he thinks every couple should try swinging at least twice. The first time can be a bit of a shock, so the second visit is a must."
