When does “swinging” become deep and caring enough to be called Polyamory?
Led by Paul Gibbons.

Paul and Terry did Live the Dream presentations at the Lifestyles Convention for several years, and also led Evening of Caressive Intimacy, one of that convention’s main events. It included sensual massage and guided meditation for deeper connection with the partner you came with as well as those special others they may draw into their lives.

While some of the parties at this convention were hard swinging (NOT ones we chose to attend) in which two people might have sex without even exchanging names, it also included presentations by those who had long term group marriages.

The Lifestyles Convention was organized by a Hospitality Committee who handled everything from music and refreshments to decisions on ejecting those who offered inappropriate advances to ladies (or gentlemen) who had said NO. The members of this committee frequently stayed with it for several years. They attended the bar/bat mitzvahs
and birthday celebrations of each other’s kids, participated in each other’s wedding parties, and were there for each other during life’s losses. When they made love at a party, was that Swinging, Polyamory, or some shade of gray in between?
