Changing the Channel - Alternate Sexual Lifestyles
The last two to three years have been an eye opener for me. Starting with an innocent search on the topic of DH - which can range from Dear Husband to Dumb Husband and I’m sure many in between. Most searches ended up with message board gossips, but some pinged back on blogs.
As far as medias go, I hadn’t really gone in to the blog thing. Mind you I may have been, amongst one of the first 1,000,000 registerd users on blogspot in 2003. It wasn’t long before the intellectual side of my sexual appetite was stirred up as the DH factor + a key word brought back unexpected results.
Results, I was pleased to entertain or let myself be entertained by! The concept wasn’t graphic. The concept was: many men and women and couples writing about their sexual experiences and preferences. A lot more pleasurable to me than a gazillion porn pictures.
I started reporting back my findings and crediting the authors through this blog. I took immense pleasure in feedback. Feedback about being noticed. Cool, I thought and I just kept at it. The rest is history!
Lately, I have found stimulating resources on television. No, not during prime time of course, but there are some good shows out there. Yes, there’s also a lot of trash out there.
It is Dr. Ruth to your left. WTF you’re probably saying. Not that I ever cared for her show, still she would be the pioneer of bringing sex to television in open discussion type. It deserves some credit. Where as Dr.Ruth appeared on NBC, more recent shows are presented on "cable" channels.
Of course, this is a totally non interactive excersise from the viewer’s point. Blogging gets you right in there, participating commenting writing your own…
Starting today, I’ll be featuring excerpt feeds from shows I’ve come across. These expose stimulating topics worth covering.
The series of short clips I’ll be featuring was produced by C H U M Television in Canada. The clips have been posted on their website. Why am I featuring them? Because I think they’re an eye opener for your own sexual views.
Alternate Sexual Lifestyles
Here’s a clip giving views about bringing in other participants into your sex life. You’ll hear different sides.
So, would you? Have you?
We haven’t and that’s fine for both of us. It’s been discussed.
Of course I like to learn and discover new sides of sexuality. I had never heard of the term SoftSwapper. Now I guess I’ll have to do a little more research on this! Here’s my first result worth posting on SoftSwapper from Wife Swap.co.uk
Since I’m taking a couple of extra long week end, perhaps you’ll get to see a little more of me over the next few weeks!

I’m always very sceptical about the information and alleged participants in TV programs regarding anything other than what is generally regarded as vanilla sex.
I’m sure many are genuine, but I’ve seen some howlingly obvious fabricated “documentaries”. Not that I’m saying that the couples in the clip are not real couples, nor do I have a problem with production comapnies using actors for example to represent real people who choose not to have their identities revealed. After all friends and family might not be totally accepting of their lifestyle choices. But I’m very wary of people who are happy to reveal their faces on the broadcast media to millions of people while stating their sexuality is anything other than “normal” (I know, what’s normal?). You have to be very sure of the reaction of those close to you or be prepared for the fallout.
Not a bad point of view at all. I’m sure as you say, there’s a lot of fabrication out there. The particular network that I’m scouting actually has a lot of credit to protect. I imagine it would be pretty scandolous if it were to be discovered that they’re reporting was staged.
Still I’ve always pondered on people who go on television to spill their gut about their personal life. Oprah, an American program, never ceases to amaze me. I can think of a few more too. Not only about sexual related items. It could be divorce, child abuse, wife beating…You get the idea. Misery related stuff.
Just the same, I will continue to present these little clips, as I find myself learning a few things from it. I imagine a few other people will too. SoftSwapper was a new concept for me.
