The Lifestyle: A Look at the Erotic Rites of Swingers
by Terry Gould

This is without a doubt the most in-depth, insightful book on swinging in America since Thy Neighbor's Wife. It's beautifully and passionately written by an award-winning investigative journalist who entered the World of Swing ready to condemn it and wound up understanding, defending and capturing it with unparalleled sensitivity. Peppered with enthralling interviews and wild sex scenes, the book is anchored by Gould's extensive research and serious discussions of evolutionary psychology, world history, art and contemporary mores. There happens to be an excellent chapter on the history and meaning of my philosophy of Ethical Hedonism, as well as a bit about my seminars, books and shows at Lifestyles Conventions, but I'd love this book even if it didn't feature me. This is important reading not just for swingers (though everyone who is in "The Lifestyle" or who fantasizes about it must have a copy), but for anyone interested in the complex nature of human sexuality. The Lifestyle is published by Firefly Books in the US, and Random House in Canada.
