Interviews in January 1, 2000 to July 4, 2000

The liberal lifestyle learned studying in San Francisco taught me not to judge. My career keep me close to the paper with my pen. Combined, education and experience taught me to listen. The confession of the young wives was better said than their husbands. Innocent lost with experience gained, during the interviews, the young ladies described their feelings about trading partners almost exactly the same from state to city verbatim by insisting, “I love my husband. I love my family. We married young. We were kids. I started having kids when I was 15. I graduated from high school when I was 18. By 21 we realized that we had only been together with the same man - woman - together - since we met as teenagers. We realized that we had married young. We didn’t want to ruin our marriage. We are best friends. We didn’t want to cheat on each others. We thought about this.” By this they meant swapping couples, trading partners, or as they admit in Las Vegas swinging. The wives usually spoke for their husband as they continued to share with me, “We didn’t want to do anything stupid. We weren’t necessarily bored. We just wanted to try - We felt like we were missing out - We just wanted to try something new. So we found out about this. Trading partners. We found literature. Books at the lingerie boutique. Magazines for trading partners at the adult bookstore. Now a days, those magazines don’t exist. The ads for adults are posted on the Internet. So that is how we started. We travel over the state line from Nashville to Alabama. Or Huntsville to Kentucky, because we saw people we know in town. By traveling over the state border, we see people we have never met. People we won’t see again over the state lines.” Interviews in January 1, 2000 to July 4, 2000
