In Bed with Strangers

In the Internet age, “swinging” is alive and well and has become accessible and discreet for participants who may be married, single or neither, or of any sexual orientation. Casey Donatello's frank memoir describes her transition from inexperienced 20-something through the ups and downs of first swinging as a couple with her boyfriend to her maturation as a single female swinger in her 30s.

The term "swinging" calls to mind a bygone era of 1970s sexual liberation--images of shag carpet, hot tubs and married couples swapping motel keys. The Internet age has made swinging widely accessible and discreet to a broad range of participants, married or single, and of any sexual orientation.

Some people pursue the excitement of spontaneous, noncommittal sex with strangers, while others seek a certain intimate connection they find unattainable by conventional dating or romantic relationships.

Casey Donatello's frank memoir describes her transition from inexperienced 20-something, through the ups and downs of her introduction to swinging as a couple with her boyfriend, to her maturation as a single female swinger--known in the lifestyle as a "unicorn"--in her 30s. Her explicit account goes beyond the physical acts to explore the psychology and life lessons of self-discovery through sex.
