'I ditched strict religious background after marrying husband – now we're swingers',Emmy Blaise and her husband Cal were childhood sweethearts who waited to have sex until they got married – but they ditched their religious upbringing to be in an open relationship

‘I ditched strict religious background after marrying husband – now we’re swingers’

A couple shunned their conservative Christian background after getting married – to become swingers.

Emmy Blaise started dating Cal when she was 17 – and the pair abstained from having sex until they married two years later.

After tying the knot, she felt pressure from the Church to stick to traditional gender roles like wives submitting to their husbands.

Emmy told news.com.au: “We followed all the rules, and didn’t have sex until marriage and all of that. We were the ‘good ones’.

“It was purity culture. There was a lot of pressure around sexuality. People who were not virgins – even if not by their choice – were deemed dirty and ‘used goods’.

The Australian pair decided to follow these rules until four years ago, when they were "liberated".
