Welcome to the Awesome Marriage podcast. I'm your co-host, Christina Dodson. This is an Ask

Dr. Kim segment where people submit their questions for Dr. Kim Kim, and he answers them.

Thanks for listening.

Today on Ask Dr. Kim, we are going to be addressing the question is swinging okay in marriage.

So believe it or not, we've actually been asked this question

a lot here at awesome marriage and so we're excited to tackle this topic so dr. came to kick

things off what is swinging we're not talking about the playground okay I mean in in essence

it's partner swapping now I love actually I love Wikipedia's definition of it which is a

non monogous behavior.

If someone's in a committed relationship, we'll talk about that, engaging with others in sexual activity as social activity.

So basically it's like, okay, instead of going out to a movie and dinner, we go out and we start partners and we have sex and then we come home.

The thing that

got me in the definition, if you're in a committed relationship, that to me being a swinger

does not go along with being in a committed relationship. To me, a committed relationship is you

took vows with this person before God and you committed to those vows. And nowhere in that vow

does it say swinging is okay. Or if you get bored sexually, it's okay to go swing.

So that's what swinging is. Yeah, definitely. And a lot of people's, you know, argument with this is couple and they'll all have sex together, all four of them. And it's like, oh, but if my wife's okay with him, if my husband's okay

with it, it's okay. But one, I would argue it's not okay with your spouse.

But two, it's just not okay. So that brings us to that question. Is it okay? If both spouses

are agreeing to swinging, is it okay?

No, never.

I don't think there's any way you can justify it, anything at all.
