"The Leidy list" was basically the first swinger magazine

Как появился первый журнал для свингеров? Когда это произошло? Как происходило объединение людей вокруг темы Swinging Lifestyle в отсутствии Интернета? Кто был Первым?
Ответ - Leidy

Отрывок из интервью Terry Gould, автора книги "The Lifestyle: A Look at the Erotic Rites of Swingers", данное им журналу Kasidie

Terry Gould: There was this guy named Leidy, a former pilot who now travelled the country as a salesmen. He'd call up his buddies from the Air Force and he began making a list, which became known as "the Leidy list". Every town he visited, the list grew a little longer. Then he passed copies of the list around to everyone who was on it. The Leidy list was basically the first swinger magazine because it was a way for people to get in touch with each other. That was the modern origin of the lifestyle. That list was passed around to upper middle class, suburban, married people and that's basically where it stayed for the next 50 years. That's why you see a lot of clean-cut people with healthy attitudes and above average intelligence in the lifestyle, because that cohort stayed the same right from its origins right after World War II.

Известность: две стороны медали

Каждую неделю в мире закрывается очередной свинг-клуб....

Данный отрывок необходимо прочитать всем владельцам SWклубов и сайтов: популярность может нанести вред и всегда найдутся люди, которые будут пытаться сделать себе на этом PR. Хороший пример с закрытием киевского клуба. Этого украинского милиционера знает весь русскоязычный SW мир. Но он пока не умеет пользоваться своей популярностью. В отличии от своих американских коллег

Terry Gould:...They don't give themselves the same discipline of mind that they do when they analyze the gay lifestyle, which is to treat them with dignity and respect.

Kasidie: Why do you think that is?

Terry Gould: Because we're dealing with primarily heterosexual middle class people and I guess the mainstream media feels they're well guarded enough that they can protect themselves and they're no real oppression going on. When in fact, over the course of my book there was this constant pounding by mainstream media that portrayed swingers as gluttonous, weird and dangerous. It enabled conservative elements in society to start arresting them, raiding their clubs for all kinds of spurious reasons, like illegal alcohol sales and running whore houses. Law enforcement or DA or captain who wanted to make a name for themselves would phone the press before raiding a swinger club. In one instance in Montreal, the police phoned the press and then ushered these fifty swingers right out into the cameras. If you'd seen the video footage you'd see people with raincoats over their heads like it's a mafia bust. This happened again and again.

“If people have control of their own sexuality, then that means they're not under the control of society.”
