I really don't have a favorite fictional couple and generally most books I read are centered around a single hero or heroine.
However, if I'm not being too vain and full of myself, Foxy and Larry would be my favorite fictional couple. When I originally started writing smut stories, I wrote about things that we had done in the Lifestyle. Then later on Foxy and Larry, my fictional swinger couple, took on a life of their own.
Swinging often gets a bad rap and I can kinda understand that but once you're in the scene, it's nothing like most straight people would imagine. Typically most of the couples drink very little or social drinkers. Therefore we don't have people getting drunk and in a fight. Parties are a lot of fun and you can pretty much do what you want without your spouse getting jealous or mad at you.
The people you run with become closer than most of your family and there is an intimate bond between us (ignoring the obvious sex). Divorce is virtually non-existent and far less than the 50% average among straight people. Swingers don't cheat or have affairs assuming that sleeping with someone else's hubby/wife is not cheating. Everything is honest and above board.
Back to answering your question: The fictional couple Foxy and Larry are based loosely on Wifey and myself but embody all the fun things about the Lifestyle. I like to show swinging as the fun activity as it really is between real swingers.

Vs 'still double parking/ vs 'no former gig to ditch/ vs 'the q. is presumptuous & mis-posed: tenure of Federal Judge-ships does not readily lend to heaving; no gold watch.
