Newseater - Adult Edition

Across America—from Mahwah, New Jersey, to Pleasonton, California—there’s one thing that unites us all: a love of having sex with people who aren’t our legally married spouses. Or at least that’s the premise of “America Swings,” a brand new book by photographer Naomi Harris that’s full of dirty pictures of swingers doing the very thing they do best. You may remember Ms. Harris from her behind the scenes look at the porn industry (or from our previous mention of her current project); with our long history of, uh, appreciating her work, we’re definitely looking forward to getting our hands on a copy of her latest endeavor. Want to see why we’re all hot and bothered? Blackbook has a preview gallery of photos from the book accompanying their review. Who knows—you might have more in common with some of those Red State people than you thought.

Hey, America. Do you like to swing? Of course you do—because everyone knows that even though we like to pretend we’re all prim and proper, our nation is really just one big wife-swapping freak fest! Well, one photographer got tired of hearing about it and decided to prove it: Naomi Harris, who took a behind the scenes look at the porn industry a couple of years ago, headed out into the vast unknown wilderness of that places called “Middle America” (you know, that big empty spot between the two oceans) and came back with a new book of photographs documenting average folks who lead somewhat non-average sex lives. She even went so far as to hang out in the nude with her subjects in order to get pictures of these wildcats in their natural habitat! The book will be released by Taschen in the fall, which means we may have to wait a few months before finding out the answer to this question: if this country is filled with an army of hidden swingers, then how come nobody is watching “Swingtown“? (Oh, right … they’re probably too busy with that other stuff.)
