So I'm wondering what the differences are of a polyamory lifestyle vs a swingers lifestyle. I guess what I'm looking for is personal views or at least some good web locations to do some research of my own on polyamory.
If you google "polyamory vs swinging" you'll get a number of pages of answer, but the quick version of the answer seems to be recreational vs emotional sex/relationships. Swinging is more about recreational consensual nonmonogamy. Poly is more about creating multiple relationships, often long-term relationships, again in a consensual, honest manner.
