Swap anything but not wives

LAST week, we gathered spouses who had given away their cheating partners to the adulterers, rolled them in a piece of paper and smoked them carefully.

LAST week, we gathered spouses who had given away their cheating partners to the adulterers, rolled them in a piece of paper and smoked them carefully.
You remember Florence Nalubega, the woman who handed over her husband to Kampala’s rich woman, Christine Nabukeera, of Nabukeera Plaza? Well, she had a party last weekend celebrating her liberation day.
In her speech, she thanked God for giving her a rare opportunity to offload her husband of four children, businessman Livingstone Luwaga. She said she had never been happier!
Nalubega still fits in today’s topic, swapping spouses for a house, car and business? Others exchange partners.
In 2003, one creative artiste, Stephen Lambert, imagined what it would be like if a liberated couple exchanged with a traditional one for two weeks.
He designed a reality TV programme for a UK TV production company, RDF Media, which became so successful on the UK’s Channel 4 that it was exported to the US in 2004 on the ABC network.
In November 2009, it was stopped because exchanging wives is not as easy as crossing from UPC to NRM when you are Obote’s own cousin.
Swapping wives is so dangerous that you are advised to wear gloves if you want to read on the end.
The TV programme registered couple participants after assuring them there would be no sharing of beds (read no sex). They deliberately matched wives of extreme opposite lifestyles, the liberated with the traditional.
Viewers enjoyed the cultural shock as traditional participants expected their liberated partners to do things they could not imagine themselves doing. Our local examples being removing a man’s shoes and serving him food while kneeling down.
At the end of the two weeks, the two couples met for the first time, to discuss how they felt about the two weeks.
This often descended into personal insults and degenerated into violence. One wife opined that the kiwani husband was more intelligent, prompting a clash. Or she would abuse him as unbearable, which was equally unacceptable. It was also discovered that a few weeks later, the camera participants were becoming more rebellious and ‘unmanageable’ long after the reality show. Others were becoming intimate with their partner of two weeks. The programme had to be scrapped.
You should, therefore, not try this in your own home. First, because there is a natural excitement with novelty. Second, because of the valour everyone puts on a new catch and third, because every partner has inadequacies which the new catch will hide in the first few days.
According to Dr. Kinsey’s research, published in his book, The Sexual Behaviour of the Human Male, three-quarters of the men interviewed said they sometimes wished to have relations with women other than their wives. And one-half of all married men realise that wish.
The Kinsey report also showed that one of every four women interviewed had at least one extramarital affair by the time she reached her 48th birthday. And many more sometimes hanker for a husband other than their own.
Wife swapping started as early as when mankind still walked on all fours. There are such records in the Roman empire orgies. My ancestors, the Banyankore, exchanged wives with brothers and close friends. When such a man and his wife visited, it was acceptable to exchange wives for the duration of the visit.
Today, it occurs in crazy hang outs in ‘developed’ societies. There are clubs where patrons reportedly toss their house keys into a basket and their wives draw from it at random.
The owner of the selected key becomes the sexual partner for that evening. There are also adverts from couples looking for other couples who would like to swap partners for a night.
Is it exciting? Stupid! It is dangerous! If you want to stay longer and more comfortable in marriage, do not taste any offshore meal. That fling may begin as a purely physical contact and develop into a strong emotional attachment.
Not many marriages can long withstand the strain of divided loyalties and attention.
“Of all the angles in a marriage, the triangle creates the most acute problems,†Kinsey says.
