European vs. American Swingers

Are European swingers different than America swingers? The short answer is “yes!”

Nudity vs Sexuality:

We already know that Europeans are much less repressed about nudity than Americans. There’s the German family picnicking naked by the river, including mom, grandma and all the kids. There are the 2 college co-eds sunning themselves in the nude in the middle of Madrid’s Parque del Retiro, with no passers-by pausing to gawk. There is the middle-aged mother on the beach, angry and embarrassed that her teen-aged daughter won’t take her top off and looks weird by standing out in the crowd as the only one wearing a swimsuit. There are the partiers in Bodrum, Turkey, mostly tourists from Istanbul, dancing topless and even naked in the foam at Halicarnassus. Oh, and those guys in the bar in Greece, staring non-stop at the topless girls laying on the beach…Americans, obviously.

Yeah, we know that Americans are more repressed about their bodies, and sexuality in general. But this doesn’t apply to swingers, right?

The Study:

As your humble servants, and publishers of Kasidie.com, we took it upon ourselves to find out. It was exhausting and at times sleepless research We hooked up (yes, exactly what you’re thinking, we got nekkid and had sex) with swingers from France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, UK, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Turkey, Romania, Russian, Ukraine, Lebanon, Morocco, and Greece. We even hooked up with couples from Brazil and Argentina (while in Europe) for good measure. Ah, the things we do in the service of science and Kasidie members!

The Findings:

We found out some interesting cultural differences in the way we Americans swing vs the rest of the western world.

At a typical swinger party in America, we talk…and talk…and talk. There’s probably a lot of flirting, but not much real sexual activity until later, after quite a bit of alcohol has been consumed and the clock shows early morning. Sometimes there is no sex at all. Even when it’s not a party, such as when 2 couples get together for dinner or drinks, even if at one of their houses, we’ll talk for hours before finally (if ever) getting around to playing.

Europeans are different.

Sure they love to talk and make friends just as much as we do. But they feel strongly, and openly, that “hey, we’re here to fuck, so let’s fuck”. If you visit them at their home, they are likely to start by taking you right into the bedroom for a romp, after which you all have dinner or drinks and then either leave or go for round 2. Same thing if you meet them in a city you are staying in, they’ll usually want to meet you at your hotel instead of out at a bar or restaurant so you can fuck first, go to dinner second. It seriously confuses them if/when they arrive at your hotel and you come down to the lobby and say “okay, lets go to dinner.”

Parties in Europe are pretty much the same way. People get naked fast and start having sex right away. It’s almost like they lead with sex and work up to conversation, exactly the opposite of our style here. We’ve been to parties in Europe where the rule was “lingerie or less by 11:00pm, including the guys“, and if you didn’t want to shed your clothes you were “invited to leave”. To put this in context, keep in mind that 11:00pm to a European is like 7:00pm to an American. So imagine a party here that you arrive at 9:00pm and the rule was you had to be undressed by 9:30pm. What, no time for a lot of alcohol? No time for chatter and conversation? No time to survey the crowd? In their view, sure there’s plenty of time, it’s just that you’ll be naked to nearly-naked and might have had sex once or twice first.

Summary:

So European swingers really are different than American swingers. Sure, their body types are the same, the conversations are the same, they have as much drama as individuals and with friends as we do, they worry about their jobs and families just like we do, and they enjoy a good drink as much as anyone. But oh how they like to fuck!
