Echangism
The echangism is a sexual Pratique known as " Libertine e" or not consistent conformist in a temporary exchange of the regular partners, between two or several couples, for complete sexual relations (i.e. with penetration) between agreeing partners. Like very practical sexual, the echangism is carried out in intimacy and with the shelter of the minors.
It can be practiced at home or in meeting places reserved for this purpose, such as the nightclubs exchangers. Certain nudist sites the such naturist center of the Cape of Agde are also favourable with the meetings allowing the development of this practice because of their singularity and the development of the clubs and trade related to the practices libertines.

History
The echangism is known at least since the Second world war where the soldiers of the American aviation took part in the “key parts” (festivals with exchange of keys) during which the husbands gave their keys to be randomly selected by the wives. The exchange became more current during the Sixties and Seventies, but less popular during the Eighties because of the appearance of the AIDS.The echangism starts to reappear, especially in the middle-class, but now one prefers more not to speak about “wife swapping” (literally “exchange of wives”) to avoid being regarded as openly sexist.
Echangism and Sexuality of group
One should not confuse the stripped echangism and lifestyles which is practiced in family and without sexual claim. The echangism is practiced into private, and a fortiori with the shelter of the glance of " people; conformistes" , and does not raise of the sexual exhibition in public, which is prohibited.It is as advisable to note as in the language running, one employs the " term; échangisme" in the more general direction of " sexuality of groupe" , just as the " term is employed; Club exchanger " for " club libertin". They are not only any more two couples which exchange their partners, the time of a Sexual relation, but more generally of a whole of people, men and women, who have sexual relationships, the ones with the others.
The paragraphs which follow relate to mainly the " sexuality of groupe" and not only " échangistes".
Who are the exchangers?
To claim that the echangism would be a form of sexual perversion does not seem any more to belong to the current debate, however certain psychologists and psychiatrists can associate it with a driven back homosexuality or personality disorders of the type Borderline. No true scientific study actually exists on this subject.The exchangers are ordinary people, generally in about thirty or forty but one finds some of any age and any description. It is estimated that between 1% and 4% of the couples already took part in it, but it is difficult to give precise figures because the subject is often Tabou.
Sometimes the groups known as “urban exchangers” seek younger adults specifically, between twenty and thirty years, more pleasant with the eye.
So before much of couples were thanks to the classifieds of newspapers dedicated to libertinage, henceforth Internet took over and the exchangers or libertines are thanks to many sites dedicated to these practices. Certain sites of advertisements " certifient" couples as such, because the exchangers are wary enormously of the false advertisements of men alone seeking to collect photographs of couples. Certifications are generally done after having met around glass another couple already certified or then certification is dealt with by the site him even which is given the responsability to allot the famous label. For example a site can require of the couples wishing to be made certify to send a photograph of them holding a sheet mentioning the name of the site and their pseudo. Thereafter these couples will be able them to even certify other couples.
It is noted that the practices, as much as the opinions or the interdicts or social codes of this medium, cannot be theorized or generalized, but are in fact of micro the one moment climates and a given place.
Thus for certain exchangers, the echangism is a test against the Jalousie: to admit people in the initimity of a couple, it does not matter their sex, causes a risk to divide the couple. For other, on the contrary it allows a reinforcement of their complicity. For other still, it decreases the risks of inaccuracy due to sexual temptation to discover a new partner. So the echangism is reserved only for the couples having already a stable relation and whose two partners share exactly the same motivation in connection with this practice.
The motivation of the couple exchanger is primarily a search for shared pleasure: by the discovery of new bodies, the sight of its partner under a " other angle" and by the play of seduction which will be played, no longer between two people, but between two couples.
The major reasons specific to the people attracted by this sexual practice are not transparent. The sociological prospect advances that it would be about a modern form of polygamy. A recent psychoanalytical approach considers that it would be a question of an embodiment moved of desire of inceste, in a configuration characterizing sexuality teenager.
Bisexuality
There are two weights, two measurements with regard to the Bisexualité. As in the Pornography intended for the men Heterosexual S, one strongly encourages the Dame S to deliver oneself to frolicking saphic because it is a strongly widespread male phantasm.Sometimes, the bisexual ones are regarded as ready to sleep with everyone. But sometimes also, the sex of group is the only means for a woman in couple of living her bisexuality.
The Homophobie is present in the exchangers mediums like elsewhere. This is why much of bisexual men do not dare to post it.
Libertines
The term “libertine” gathers several activities of which echangism, the Candaulisme, the Triolisme, the Mélangisme and the Partouze S. Often one uses these words in an equivalent way, although there are subtle differences.It should be noted that in general the exchangers take part in these activities with an only aim of sharing sexual pleasures, and not to seek followed relations.
Other bisexual communities
Other communities say themselves open to the bisexuality, like the communities gay S, Lesbienne S and the Polyamour them. Their goals are often incompatible with those of the exchangers; a man who “always wanted to live the experiment to have two women” will not easily find a place within the community lesbian. Certain bisexual organizations of the gay medium and lesbian limit the access only to the women to avoid this kind of problem.
The polyamour
The Polyamour them are distinguished from the exchangers by seeking long-term relations in love instead of seeking only sex or very simple social entertainment. One aims at establishing “eternal triangle” or “spares with four” quasi-permanent; their goals can then be often very incompatible with those of the exchangers.
