A weekend of pleasures: You have my car keys, you have me too

Marriage Advice

It was established that condom use is a must for the swinging club that meets in a Rift Valley farm. The modes of pairing have a common thread. The couples arrive at an appointed time and venue. There is usually a container placed at the entrance where all car keys are dropped. After niceties, members dine, wine and chat. One 'club' insists that during such meetings, they never call each other by name, but use the title 'gentleman' or 'lady.'

Another 'club', which was not among the ones our mole got access to is said to give members masks at the entrance to hide their identity. One other common rule is that a participant is not supposed to talk about a man or woman they were paired with in the last swap.

At around midnight the group's chairperson comes with the container full of car keys and shakes it. In some 'clubs' paired members then proceed to allocated rooms. The women are then blindfolded and one by one they each pick a car key.

They then leave the men in the house and proceed to the parking bay, where they unlock the corresponding cars and get in, upon the men to find out who they have been paired with for the entire weekend— but strictly within the swinging 'club' rules.

Other Swingers include employees of a government agency who meet twice a month along Lang'ata Road before proceeding to their sex dens, and yet another comprise White sports personalities who meet once a month in a farm outside Nairobi belonging to one rally driver.

Another 'club' rents an apartment in Kileleshwa where they meet for fun, boosting their sex lives and networking for business and career opportunities.

Swapping can lead to homicide-Prof Bigambo Experts have warned about the long-term effects of swinging as "Couple involved in swapping are bound to have advanced psychological trauma that can later be manifested in things like killings within families," warns Prof Okumu Bigambo a human psychology and behaviour expert.

Psychologist Frank Njenga, who says he is aware of the rise in swinging, points out that low self-esteem and eventual breakdown of relationships are inevitable consequences for those involved.
