Nightline attempts to show the many faces of infidelity, but really only reveals two.
Pastor Ed Young belives that if you want to have an affair, you certainly should... with your own spouse.
"Primarily, [sex is] for pleasure. Secondarily, it's for procreation. And when you have a man and a woman making love, then you're going to hit on all cylinders. And when you don't, when you step out of that relationship, the result is going to be chaos." Spiritual Sex: 10 Erotic Commandments
Jenny Block, who's in an open relationship, has a completely different perspective on the whole matter. Read more from Jenny Block here.

Meet Robyn: a polyamorist, suburbanite and mother. Could she be your next-door neighbor?
What would you do if you found out that the mom you shared carpool duties with was a dominatrix at night? Or what if that cute couple next door wasn't really a couple—but a threesome or a foursome? How would you react?
Well, you better get used to it, because all across America, in sleepy suburbs just like yours, moms are hiding secrets. In Part 3 of momlogic's "Secrets in the Suburbs" series, we pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding the mysterious and often secret world of polyamory. In Relationships, Does "Normal" Exist?

Long-married couple are totally not gay, but like to show off.
Since Jada Pinkett Smith has a new show to promote (HawthoRNe, on TNT, which your mom is just dying to watch), she's all over the place talking about how she and husband Will are totally not gay, but they do like to have quickies in other people's houses to keep their 11-year marriage hot.
"Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex,” Jada told Redbook. "Be sneaky... your girlfriend's house at a party. The bathroom. A bedroom. Anything like that can keep it going. Anything it takes to keep the flame alive."
Jada and Will, who first … Read More

A swinging TV reporter, naked parade and teen streakers.
Our friends over at Scanner had a bunch of stories involving nudity yesterday, and we gladly point them out to you today.
First, they told us about Las Vegas TV reporter Jeff Gradey, who was fired from his job at the Vegas ABC affiliate after management saw a Craig's List ad from him and his girlfriend soliciting "a hot, nasty girl who needs to c*m." Scanner says that Gradey didn't get fired for posting the threesome ad; he was drop-kicked because … Read More
SwingFest 2008 hits sunny South Florida.
Massive swinger party hits Miami. And? According to the Detroit Free Press SwingFest has kicked off in Hollywood, Florida (a town just north of North Miami Beach). The shindig takes place at the Westin Diplomat Resort and the only rules are there are no rules. Fine, the only rules are to keep covered up at the pool area and the hotel staff is off limits; have at it, sinners. We can imagine that there are some other rules, such as don't commit any crimes or get anyone pregnant. We would recommend having a safe word for … Read More
Could swinging save your marriage?
I kissed a girl and I liked it. So go the lyrics of Katy Perry's top-of-the-charts song playing endlessly on the radio. Apparently, she's not the only one. Some married women like it, too—a lot. It's what piqued their interest in "the lifestyle" and locked them in for life.
Part one of my swingers article, "The Surburban Swingers Club," took you behind the scenes of a DC-area swingers club. But the same next questions seemed to evolve for everyone: How in the world do married women get here? You might imagine it's men who are begging their wives to swing, … Read More
A sneak peek behind the scenes, beyond the sex.
The 1970s are over, but some things seem to be making a comeback: lava lamps, wallpaper, Donna Summer's concert tour and ... swingers. The fascination with "the lifestyle" (as swingers fondly call it) is seeping into suburban, upper-middle class social scenes. Over drinks and dessert, discussions once focused on home renovations and restaurant openings are giving way to talk about wife-swapping and tales of key parties down the block.
Last month, I attended an end-of-the-elementary-school-year family barbecue in my woodsy suburban neighborhood outside of Washington, D.C. Sitting with four other couples as the kids played Wii downstairs, the parents' conversations … Read More
Got non-monogamy questions? He's got answers.
Aside from the 14 months I spent working as a music editor for an alt-weekly in Pittsburgh, I've been making my living as a freelance journalist for the past five years. I also work out of a home office – my morning commute never takes more than five or ten seconds – so it was pretty much business as usual when a few weeks ago, I was sitting at my desk and tapping away at my laptop late at night, slowly working through the paces of putting together yet another magazine article.
Before long, I decided to pack it in … Read More
