Si parla ancora di scambismo sulla stampa mainstream: questa volta sulle pagine di Today online a Singapore, dove lo swinging è di gran moda. Il giornale intervista diversi soci di United Singapore Swingers, un grosso club che organizza incontri a cavallo delle divisioni di razza e di lingua. Anche a Singapore, l’unica legge pericolosa riguarda la trasmissione di materiale osceno via Internet.

Il mese scorso, in Corea, 150 scambisti sono stati interrogati per le foto di un sito di swinger. Il webmaster è finito al fresco, il suo sito Bubu Plus contava dopo due anni di vita piu’ di 5000 soci paganti. Purtroppo le differenze di alfabeto ci impediscono spesso di arrivare sui siti dell’estremo oriente, legali o illegali che siano.

Partner swapping and kinky fantasies are all the rage in local swingers’ clubs

THEY call it a “meeting of lifestyle friends”. But don’t be fooled by the sophisticated sugar coating. Behind the closed doors of the rising number of swingers’ clubs in Singapore lies a brow-raising tale of sexual promiscuity, replete with partner swapping, group sex and kinky fantasies.
.
Swingers are by definition those who engage freely in promiscuous sex. Though swingers’ clubs have always existed in Singaporean folklore, Today has learnt that the connectivity of the Internet has caused a mushrooming of such clubs, many of them online.
.

A simple check on any search engine leads the curious to three such swingers’ clubs, some which advertise their wares plainly.

.
One club, called Singapore Swingtown, boasts of eight local branches, including ones in Queenstown, Woodlands, Choa Chu Kang, Toa Payoh and Bedok.

.
Almost all require registration and password access, after which interested couples are contacted via email and online invitations.
.
According to sources, couples and single girls also receive unsolicited invitations to join swingers’ parties based on recommendations from current members.

.
Usually, couples are first quizzed by the clubs’ founder members about their background and sexual preferences. Once their wavelengths are found to match those of the club’s, they are given access to the email-group or website upon payment of an annual membership fee of $50.

.
Emails are then circulated, informing members when and where the next gathering will be held. Today procured a copy of an invitation of an online swingers’ group calling themselves United Singapore Swingers. It was an invitation to a party held two weeks ago in the East Coast area.

.
The invitation detailed their international clientele and how the house hosting the party would be divided into two different sections for soft swingers (first-timers) and hard swingers (returning members).

.
“As we are trying to get as many people as we can to attend, we are not sure how many (people will be there). There will be people of different shapes, sizes, race, nationality and (of course) different ‘levels’ of lifestyle ie exhibitionist, soft swingers, swapping couples,” the invitation said.

.
“In fact, the last party was like a mini United Nations. So we are making this mainly a meeting, networking and soft swing (watch and be watched) party.”

.
Laying down the rules of the party, the invitation further read: “Rule 2: Hard swingers will then have to ask as per normal if others want to try some swapping fun and, as per normal, respect others and (be) ready to take ‘no’ for an answer. Not that they are not keen with you, but just that they might be newbies/soft swingers. So please ask. Don’t just reach out and grab … without asking.”

.
Partygoers are expected to take their own alcohol, condoms and towels. There are also specifically marked “clothes optional” and “clothes disallowed” zones in the house, the email said.

.
Interested couples were told to reply with details of what kind of action they were game for, namely “Watch and be watched, swap for touching, swap for oral and full swap”.

.
A 20-something female member of a club, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “They always claim a party is meant to be a watch-and-be-watched kind. But more often than not, people get sexually-charged and engage with multiple partners.

.
“Once the party ends, we clean up and keep in touch with our new contacts — only if time permits. Sometimes, we meet former partners again at swingers’ parties and go one step further with them.”

.
Said another 28-year-old male professional, who admitted to frequenting swingers’ gatherings: “Membership is a tentative factor. It all depends on the number of couples who turn up on a particular night. Since the venues are usually houses, we try and limit them to 10 to 12 couples to ensure everyone has enough room.”

.
He also pointed out that a majority of the couples who engage in swinging are casual partners themselves. “Very seldom do we see husband-wife or long-term boyfriend-girlfriend couples.”

.
Other than erotic memories, all evidence of swingers’ gatherings is destroyed.

.
“There is a strict no photo/video rule. During the screening process, those who appear juvenile or seem overexcited by the concept of swinging are denied access to the club,” said another source.

.
Asked about the safety practised during swingers’ meetings, the source confessed that it is often neglected in the heat of the moment.

.
“You can say that safety is aimed at not getting any of the women pregnant. You see, people are quite charged. It is difficult to interrupt them and say: ‘Hey stranger, please put on a condom before you continue’.”

.
However, though the practices sound scandalous to some, no laws might be broken.

.
Said Adrian Wee, lawyer with Harry Elias Partnership: “As long as the club organisers do not publish any obscene material on websites and their club is unregistered, what people do among themselves is a private arrangement.

.
“As long as such practises are not conducted in public view, I do not think the authorities will take will action.”

.
When contacted, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) first asked for evidence that such online swingers’ clubs exist. Upon meeting their request, the media relations officer of SPF’s Public Affairs Department, Woon Hwee See, said: “We can only take action if someone lodges an official complaint.”
