I just watched the first episode of Neighbors With Benefits, a new reality show on A&E (link to episode 1) about a subdivision of swingers. Before you start praying for them, relax the show is cancelled.

They shot 5 episodes but apparently cancelled after the first episode, I’m sure from the religious nut jobs complaining. You can see all five episodes on the Internet at AEtv.com if you have one of their streaming services. I logged in with Dish and watched it.

In general the show was pretty true to life based upon our experiences in the Lifestyle. It’s censored so you will see fuzzy balls on naughty bits and people who didn’t sign a release. If you’ve thought about swinging, it looks pretty true to life. They offset the swingers with straights who were typically gag me with a spoon.

The episode one includes a “house party”, which is swinger talk for let’s get naked and screw. Actually that’s not exactly how it is but the actual sex happens upstairs. Downstairs it’s your pretty normal party except for the kissy face and girls on a pole.

All in all, I thought it was representative of the Lifestyle except they kept inviting people who didn’t want to party.

I want to watch all the episodes before they pull them off the Internet. If you like the show or dislike censorship in general, write A&E and complain.
