In reply to the discussion: My Southern Heritage [View all]pogglethrope
(60 posts)40. No statistics,
just my personal observation from living in the South (and Appalachia) my entire life. What happened within families couldn't always be covered up. Of course, some might have been exaggeration.
I'm also aware of extensive wife-swapping (the term used) within one fundamentalist church. The pastor's wife was my wife's best friend. They told us during a visit about how difficult the problem with their congregation was for them to deal with. To say they were a prim and proper couple would be an understatement.
The guy I mentioned told me about standing on a stump to ... indulge in bestiality on his father's farm. I had no reason at all not to believe he was serious.
