The reformation of modern marriage | Vladimir Ribinin
The concept of marriage has formed a very long time. It can be said that the institution of marriage has existed forever, and has always been the same. One can also say that the institution of marriage is a central pillar on which our society is based. However, this does not necessarily mean that it should be that way. Modern society is changing. Universal globalization has led to the mixing of cultures and changing national and racial composition of the population of the Western World countries. We witness a tremendous progress in the developing countries; the attitude toward women is also changing. All of this leads to a change in public relations. As a result, this would have an impact on the institution of marriage.

Should marital infidelity necessarily lead to divorce? | Anna Roid
This question has not emerged out of nowhere. According to a survey conducted by the Associated Press, infidelity was the reason for divorce in 17% of cases. During the same survey 22% of married men and 14% of married women said that they had extra-marital relations. If this is an official statistic, then what is the real number of cheating spouses? It is well-known that people, especially women, don’t always tell the truth during such surveys. Even if they are assured that the survey is anonymous, not everyone would want to reveal intimate details about their life. Therefore, we can assume that the real percentage of people having extra-marital relations is much higher. Peggy Vaughan, author of "The Monogamy Myth," has come to the same conclusion: "60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an extramarital affair in their married life."

09.01.2006 || Swingers clubs don't harm society, top court rules
Clubs that allow group sex and partner swapping do not harm Canadian society and should not be considered criminal, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in the beginning of January. The high court, which was ruling on two Quebec cases, said Canadian standards can tolerate the activities, even when they are done amid spectators. The judges, in a 7-2 ruling, said the test for indecency is the harm it causes, and not simply community standards.

09.01.2006 || Soccer parents upset about swinger party held in their Orlando hotel
Some teenage players and their parents got to see more than they bargained for while attending a Disney soccer showcase, all courtesy of about 200 swingers who were having a New Year's party at their hotel. The families said the sexually adventurous partygoers sometimes flashed breasts and bare buttocks in front of the children as they sashayed through the hotel atrium. The parents described the dress at the Crowne Plaza Hotel-Airport in Orlando as "raunchy, despicable and worse than prostitutes."
