Sneaky Swingers vs. Swingtown Forums

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

It seems that many lifestyle webmasters are trying to take advantage of the CBS Swingtown forum by posting ADs in their signatures. Take for example some members as well as the owner of the Swingers Board who have gone on to promote themselves on the Swingtown forums. However, they quickly found out that their posts are getting deleted. Most wonder why, some keep doing it and others even brag about being covert and changing their online identity to be able to post an AD to their favorite board as someone else. It doesn’t take long to find out that they are breaking the rules, a large white box above all posts clearly states: Please obey the rules of this community (no spam, ads, rudeness, profanity, adult content or irrelevant posts), but most of all, have fun. This makes for a fun time watching the swingers post ADs and then I’m sure, the non-swingers hit the ‘report a violation’ button…round and round we go. One post still alive at the time of this writting was from the people organizing Swingfest 2008, it was still there with a signature that clearly advertises a link to the Swingfest site…it may be interesting to see how much longer the post will remain up?

The strangest thing keeps happening to my email…it keeps sending me the newsletter one month late?

Swingfest Host Mary Carey on Celebrity Rehab TV Show

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

If you are going to be attending Swingfest this year and are curious about the host, Mary Carey…you can get a glimpse of her in a VH1 TV show called: Celebrity Rehab. The show itself has already ended, but for sure you will be able to catch it in re-runs as summer is here and that’s what we know happens during that time. Seems she was admitted for a drinking problem but that hasn’t stopped her from having a drink or two or three. Wish we were attending this year’s event as I would love a chance to see her in person, she does look like a real down to earth type of person. It seems that she may also be the cause of a minor scandal that caused actor Daniel Baldwin to walk off the show, but according the Mary, it seems Mr. Baldwin had ideas of his own. I am sure that there will be more attendees this year at Swingfest due to Mary Carey’s popularity from being on a reality TV show.

No More (American) Swingers Clubs?!?

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

If you are planning on attending SwingFest this year, and you visit Swingers clubs in the USA, there is a must attend event if I ever have heard of one. Hopefully it’s not just a publicity grab, but read the press release yourself and then book your trip to SwingFest if this affects your personal or business life or both. Up here in snow covered Canada, the courts have already ruled our way and protected our lifestyle rights, but we’ll cover that topic on another day. On to the press release…

“Are Americans About to Lose Their Sexual Freedom? If you attend any type of swingers function, own a swingers club, or have ever hosted a swingers party, then you do not want to miss the recently announced; “Legal Issues Affecting Swingers Clubs” seminar presented by Lawrence G. Walters, from First Amendment website. The seminar will take place at SwingFest 2008 – The World’s Largest Swingers Party and Adult Lifestyle Expo on Saturday August 2, 2008.

Swingers Book Hotel For Swinging Good Time

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

A lady by the name of Ann offer a refreshing inside look at the world of hotel conferences. She was kind enough to submit this amusing story to gaffeaminute.com and her use of the word dizzying is a nice change from the usual negative we usually see associated with lifestyle stories. Here is the story: “In Full Swing - I was a hotel salesperson eagerly booking my first event: a large association wanted to reserve the ballroom, all the meeting rooms, and hundreds of guest rooms for a three-day conference. At the weekly sales meeting I proudly detailed my success. But then one of my coworkers asked what kind of association it was. “They’re swingers!” I said. “You know, swing dancing.”  Everyone started laughing. Finally one of my colleagues leaned forward and patted my arm. “No,” she said kindly. “They’re swingers. That means they trade partners—and not for dancing.” The contract was already signed, and for three dizzying days I had to serve as hostess to hundreds of swingers. —Ann”

Businesses Catering to Swingers On The Rise

Monday, March 24th, 2008

We can’t speak for the past (read: before Internet) but have friends who have been in the lifestyle longer than the Internet has been around. They confirm that it was very difficult if next to impossible to actually make good connections. Maybe that’s why now that most of us like minded people have a computer that businesses have caught on that offering adult themed venues to spend our money will not be a waste. Cruises, resorts, camping, conventions, clubs, magazines, websites, books, DVDs, pod-casts, help, advice, how-to’s and the list goes on for all the products and services now available to swingers from all walks of life. This news story ‘Swingers Are Growth Business for U.S. Firms‘ was written in the summer of 2007 but still relevant.

Swingstock 2008 - Swingers Ultimate Camping Trip

Monday, March 24th, 2008

You may have heard of Swingstock while watching the Playboy channel or even on HBO. We’ve become familiar with this event a while ago and one day will make it a point to attend as we are avid campers ourselves. Swingstock 2008 is going ‘Hollywood’ as the main theme this year and it all starts July 16 near Sandstone, Minnesota. What makes this a must attend event is the fact that all the pictures on the site represent real people, real swingers and not licensed model photos to get you more interested in attending. Check it out for yourself, and if you go, tell them that MapleSwingers.com sent you!
