I guess in a way it is but usually swingers do their thing in front of their partners, so it's no real secret. Kind of 50/50 to me.

A local "swingers" club was closed down some years ago in my area. I hadn't heard the term used for many years (---> before personal computers), so I decided to do some internet research.

Turns out that whether or not you are in the same room as your partner is described alternately as "soft" or "hard" swinging.

So in the "Legal Sense" it IS Adultery. Now that being said, IF a Couple has an "Open Relationship" and are both entertaining a "Swinging life style" then certain agreements and understanding exist between the two CONSENTING adults.

So is it STILL adultery . . YES, BUT if it something the two have an agreement about and have based their life on . . Well then what then? . . . .

I know of a couple that live this way, and seem to be happy. I am too old school to even consider such a thing . .

I think it is. Personally, I believe that when you're married to someone, you not only make a romantic commitment, but also a physical/sexual commitment. I believe a person should only share their body with their spouse.

But hey, to each their own... Just don't complain if your partner isn't faithful to you.

Yes it is adultery, now is it wrong? Well, that would depend on what you chose to believe.

No, what I am telling you a is that Subjectivism doesn't fit.
It is a black and white terminology and has no room for a gradient degree of variation.
To further the discussion -

Subjectivism
1. Epistemology. the doctrine that all knowledge is limited to experiences by the self, and that transcendent knowledge is impossible.

2. Ethics.
a.any of various theories maintaining that moral judgments are statements concerning the emotional or mental reactions of the individual or the community.
b.any of several theories holding that certain states of thought or feeling are the highest good.

To further illustrate . . I don't need to experience that someone being tortured slowly, painfully is wrong . . . Face it, you need a new terminology.

I find your eclecticism to produce an intellectual camel rather than the horse you intended.

While I find camels to be interesting creatures, they have no value in a horse race.

Perhaps you are in the wrong forum.

Yeah that's a straw man attempt at best . . . Because the only terminology YOU can understand doesn't fit the scenario you really can't continue the conversation? . . .

Subjectivism doesn't work here . . . the understanding of what is the worst thing and the best thing for people doesn't need to be experienced to understand . . .

Either find a new terminology or quietly bow out for lack of understanding . . . Do yourself a favor . . watch the video.
