Claire Kimberley (2016. "Permission To Cheat: Ethnography of a Swingers' Convention," Sexuality & Culture, 20: 56-68. DOI: 10.1007S12119-015-9399-Y.
Although some research has been done on the communicative practices
among swingers, none has taken a holistic approach to investigating the
formation of sexual scripts within the swinging community. The purpose
of this ethnographic study was to analyze the communicative techniques
being used to initiate conversation about engaging in sexual
interactions with those outside of a primary romantic relationship.
During a four-day swingers’ convention held in the United States, field
notes were taken and cultural artifacts were reviewed. In addition, 32
formal interviews were conducted with married spouses who participated
in this lifestyle after the convention concluded. An aggregation of the
observed social behaviors and resulting communicative scripts has been
organized into three chronological themes: introductions, noting of
interest, and invitation to engage in sexual relations.
