'It brings us closer': Married couple, 52, claim SWINGING keeps them young

A former banker who has been swinging with her husband for four years says their unusual sex life has made her feel more empowered than ever.
Jackie and John Melfi, both 52, regularly sleep with other men and women, go to swingers events together and even treat each other to surprise threesomes.

Now the pair, from Texas, say they are determined to debunk the myths around the swinging lifestyle.
Jackie says swinging has given her freedom to explore her sexuality in a non-judgmental environment, which has made her marriage even stronger.

'Most of the time, when you say you're into swinging, people think your relationship is lacking honesty, or there is some deception involved,' she said.
'But it's great for my and John's trust and communication. I believe it's to thank for the success of our relationship.

'It keeps me young. Being introduced to the lifestyle encouraged me to say yes and try new things in life. I've learned to let go and I'm no longer concerned about what people will say.'

Jackie added: 'Being encouraged to be openly sexual as a woman has blown my mind. Exploring and having positive reinforcement and affirmation from my partner is great too.'
