Wasn’t even intending a joke….the sentence was in English, so referring to the English uses of these words!
For us swing only means one thing and it’s dancing. My pupil said " my grandparents are swingers, every week they go to the swing club" in English, meaning just dancing, and thought nothing of it because obviously it isn’t sniggerworthy if you don’t know what it can mean in English.
And when I told them they just said “oh but there’s a well-known club de libertins on the Bordeaux road outside Bergerac” so there you are…
of course, one person’s idea of fun might cause horror in another person…

Ou son found West Coast Swing dancing to be a good way of making friends on his travels across the world.
Small French villages are reputedly hotbeds of “adult fun”. They keep it well hidden and I haven’t seen a trace of all this funny business in three years! I keep planning to ask the lady in the local shop where the action is, but luckily my French isn’t up to formulating such a carefully nuanced question.

In over fifteen years i have not seen any evidence of any adult fun anywhere in France(except maybe one road in Paris,which is questionable),it must be kept very well hidden if it does exist,strange as most of the rest of Europe is quite liberal shall we say.
Rumour has it Jacques Cousteau used to dress up in rubber ware.
