Swinging in Texas

I know I’ve been coming at y’all with a lot of articles that I come across. But you have to admit there are some interesting things going on out there. Lately I can’t believe some of the things I read … and today is no exception.

What if you and your significant other decided to spice things up and add another couple to the mix? You know…….swinging ****blushing******. I personally am not ready for something like that but some people find it very…….. Ahem…. therapeutic for their relationships. Whichever way you feel about the situation do you feel it’s fair for the court to decide? While reading NEWSWEEK I found that a court in Texas is trying to stop a couple from having swinger’s parties at their home.

Jim Trulock and Julie Norris look like an average suburban Dallas couple. He's a graying middle-aged divorcé pushing 60. She's 30 years younger but partial to frumpy floral dresses. But on weekends their late-'70s split-level house in the southwestern Dallas suburb of Duncanville is transformed into "The Cherry Pit." Tubs of whipped cream are laid out with the chips and dip on the yellow Formica countertop. A garland of thong panties adorns a kitchen wall. After a game of Naked Twister or a turn under the disco ball, Jim and Julie and their most intimate friends might pile into their steamy oversize hot tub. And for the, ahem, climax of the night? A semiprivate romp in a side bedroom or a more gregarious encounter on white sheets in "the pit": a half-dozen beds pushed together in front of the fireplace.

But city officials said they had received dozens of complaints over the years that the "parties" on Cedar Ridge Drive were attracting streams of traffic to their normally quiet neighborhood. After examining the couple’s Web site, officials found a request for a suggested donation of $50 per couple (since removed) and accused Trulock of running a sex business from his home. In early November the Duncanville city council passed a law against sex clubs, calling them a public nuisance to the self-proclaimed family-friendly city.


The Cherry Pit parties continued, and Trulock was cited twice for the misdemeanor crime of operating a sex club. On Wednesday Trulock filed suit against the city, saying the new law is unconstitutional on the grounds that it invades the couple's privacy, denies them due process and is overly vague. "What they do behind closed doors, unless it's some kind of activity involving violence or children or animals or drugs, it's none of the government's business!"

I must say that I agree with the couple. I am sure that man is not making a great deal money off the parties. I bet they have to buy… wine, chips, dips, condoms, anal beads, dildos, k-y jelly, costumes, soap, sheets, and other miscellaneous things needed to have good sex parties. Why should they pay for everything? Y’all know that $ 50.00 was used to get the parted started. (lol) And around Christmas time you can find quite a few mama’s getting their “swang” on to get those babies some Christmas gifts. The court system (especially in Texas) need to get a life and concentrate on things that matter. By the way what’s your opinion?
