Swingers Sue Dallas Suburb Over Sex-Party Ban
The legal battle between Duncanville and The Cherry Pit is heating up. A home-based sex club in a Dallas suburb is suing the municipality. They claim that the law banning live sex-acts is unconstitutional. This is our third Dish on the suburban Dallas home sex club fiasco. Why are we covering it so much? Because it’s fascinating. People having sex with strangers in front of people they don’t know is out-of-the-ordinary. Free love and wife-swapping has largely been relegated to hippy communes and things that rich people do in big cities and later get made into largely unbelievable television dramas. The suburbs of southern cities aren’t supposed to have key parties in 2007, right? Duncanville is basing this law on something that the Phoenix did in the late 90’s to discourage similar shenanigans. Funny, we had noticed something considerably less fun about Phoenix in the last decade. We’ll keep you posted on who wins this battle, the squares or the hippies. We thought we knew all about swingers after seeing the movie Swingers. But they weren't swingers at all. The movie should have been called Swing Dance Enthusiasts And Their Friends. Jon Favreau's career is built on a stack of lies.
Discussion
Tom,
I just wanted to say "The Lifesyle" has come along way since the hippie communes and key parties. Their are always odd representatives in every group, but here in Houston the lifestyle is very active with a majority of participants being educated, attractive, thirty-somethings having more discrete couple to couple encounters. Think less "Debbie does Dallas" and more "The L Word" with some guys thrown into the mix.
I have posted a contrary viewpoint here if you are interested:

Thanks
Hey Senor Gentlenibbles,
Good commentary. On second review, we're guessing that the objection to an at-home sex club is just as much about perceived property value as it is about moral values. Who knows though?
We were guessing that 'love-ins' and 'key parties' were probably a thing of the past, but it's probably something that most of our readers would recognize. And we're just guessing, but the 90's Cowboys probably got away with waaaaay crazier stuff than the Cherry Pit, but what can you do?
Thanks for reading and your comments.
