In Bed with Strangers: Swinging My Way to Self-Discovery

by Casey Donatello

The term "swinging" calls to mind a bygone era of 1970s sexual liberation--images of shag carpet, hot tubs and married couples swapping motel keys. The Internet age has made swinging widely accessible and discreet to a broad range of participants, married or single, and of any sexual orientation.

Some people pursue the excitement of spontaneous, noncommittal sex with strangers, while others seek a certain intimate connection they find unattainable by conventional dating or romantic relationships.

Casey Donatello's frank memoir describes her transition from inexperienced 20-something, through the ups and downs of her introduction to swinging as a couple with her boyfriend, to her maturation as a single female swinger--known in the lifestyle as a "unicorn"--in her 30s. Her explicit account goes beyond the physical acts to explore the psychology and life lessons of self-discovery through sex.

I may seem like the typical girl next door, but I am hiding a naughty secret! I am currently a 40-year old Hotwife/Vixen, which means I am married to a man who enjoys sharing me with other men. My three books document my journey from being a shy vanilla girl, to a highly sought-after unicorn and finally becoming an insatiable Hotwife in the Lifestyle. It has definitely been a crazy transformation! I have had to deal with a lot of emotions like shame, guilt and insecurities. However, by opening my body and mind to experiences I never would have imagined in my wildest dreams, I became empowered and confident as I embraced my sexual freedom.

Really enlightening and well written book!

I appreciate your honest and genuine story!! It really takes a lot of confidence to become as vulnerable as she has to write her book and share her truths. This is not a book for everyone. I did find it extremely entertaining and very enlightening.
