Indeed, condom consciousness (if not condom use) is present at the
convention. In one workshop, "The ABC' s of Swinging," condom
etiquette is described as bringing "the right safety equipment, just as you
would for scuba diving or parachuting." Another presentation on "Safer
Sex" covers new drug therapies for AIDS, information on other sexually
transmitted diseases that are increasing among heterosexuals, and
"things you should be doing to protect yourself."
Originally, herpes had caused a certain panic in swinger circles.
Some swing clubs closed, though private parties increased. But,
paradoxically enough, with the advent of AIDS, new clubs opened, as if the
disease were anti-climactic. Currently, there' s a surge of growth in this
subculture—thanks to the Internet—with estimates ranging from 2,000 to
three million participants. And, according to Dr. McGinley, "There' s been
very little increase in condom use. It' s the woman' s choice."
Nonetheless, at the Adult Marketplace, a woman in a black lace
negligee roams around giving out free samples of condoms. There are also
Crème Cookie Condoms for sale. They appear to be vanilla and chocolate
Oreo-style cookies, individually wrapped in cellophane. I ask the vendor
whether these are condoms that look like cookies, or cookies that look like
