The result are in! According to our poll, 97% of all respondents agree that the word lifestyle or lifestyle with and "s" on the end of it, should not be restricted to one company when describing trips for swingers, people in the lifestyle and other sexually open minded people. I guess the 3% must all work for that other company that wants us to stop using the word. LOL!!

Here are just a few:
- We are getting sick and tired of people (companies) trying to make money for nothing.
- Obviously, one person or business can not own the word lifestyle just as much as they cannot own the word sex or love. Ridiculous!
- This is a frivolous stupid ridiculous abuse of the court system.
- Do not let this other company who I am well familiar with. Their attorneys always threaten this kind of blackmail. Don't give in.
- No one should be able to claim the term 'lifestyle' as theirs alone.
- The word "lifestyle" is like the word "football" or "basketball" or "chess" or "ping pong".
- This is the dumbest thing I have heard of yet. If this were my company I would say see you in court.
- How many clubs are out there that say they are lifestyle clubs? Do they need to stop using the word lifestyle too? It is just ludicrous.
- Tell them to get a life! And some ED medication, sounds like they need it!!!
- In the swinging world, swingers are in the swinging "Lifestyle" it is a descriptive word which identifies our lifestyle. Clear and simple!
- Whoever is making a big f-ing deal about has an obvious stick up their ass.
- This is ridiculous. Is Southwest Airlines going to sue Continental Airways for using the word Airways?
- Your use of the word(s) "lifestyle" and "Lifestyles" is very clear and appropriate. These words are a globally recognized euphemism and have been established as such for many years. They are used this way in literature, web-blogs and news articles in print, broadcast including new media. Many companies use it in their advertising here in Europe and I'm pretty sure I could find several examples in the US with a few minutes of Google time.
- The burden of proof that they "own" the word lies with the ridiculous company suggesting you should cease and desist.
- Years ago Exxon took a strip club in Calgary to court over use of the name Banana-Maxxx citing the use of more than one 'x' in their name. What a laugh!
- Tell them I told them to get lost, stop being bullies and to go find themselves some friends.
- Other companies also offer the same services to the public using the same term "lifestyle". I think you are within your rights and should stick to your guns.
- Tell that other company to drink another bottle of beer and go back to bed. There is always some a-hole out there looking to complain about something and only because they are not as successful as others which this sounds like the case here. Dream Pleasure Tours continue as you have been doing since we feel that other company will look pretty foolish if they try to pursue it.
- Which company is it. Let me know and I will NOT do business with them.
- That other company needs to get a life.
- Who owns the word "swinger"? LOL. This is a joke right?
- Sounds like their travel agency is not doing so well!!!
- Sounds like they can't make it the honest way so they are trying to make it by suing.....geezus....how ridiculous!!
- We think that it is an absolutely ridiculous overreach for a business to try to co-opt the word lifestyle for its own exclusive use.
- You should copyright the word "the" so when your competitor advertises trips for people in "the lifestyle" you can counter-sue them!
- This could be the most ridiculous lawsuit yet! Be sure to countersue for punitive damages and legal costs and also let everyone in the lifestyle know who is the company that is trying to monopolize the term! Economic boycott them!
- How dare someone/some company claim to "own" a word. Next thing is some company is going to say they own my name, and charge me every time I put my signature to something legal! Sheesh!
- Lifestyle describes who will be on the trip. Not who the travel agency is. Fight these greedy people so we can continue to identify what trips are appropriate for our travel desires. Thanks!
- Won't using the words "Lifestyle Survey" in this survey infringe on their supposed copyright of the word "Lifestyle"? LMAO
- "Lifestyle" is an attitude and personal belief about freedom of expression. No one owns another's beliefs or expressions. There is the 1st Amendment.
- To whatever travel company is trying to corner the market on use of this word: I WILL NOT BUY FROM YOU.
- Restricting the use of the word lifestyle would be like copyrighting or restricting the use of the words bisexual, gay or heterosexual. Can companies stop the use of the words "over 50" etc? This is a ridiculous attempt at creating a monopoly in a niche market.
- Lifestyle is the accepted descriptor for the 'Type' of trip we are looking for. Without it we would need to filter through an endless amount of innuendo to decipher what we already know as 'lifestyle'.
- Open minded, seek likeminded couples to go a lifestyle vacation, seems self explanatory. What happens when open minded becomes narrow and close minded? They lose our business.
- The word "lifestyle" is a descriptive term that is used to describe those "in the lifestyle". Anyone that is in the "lifestyle" can and does use it to describe their "lifestyle". It is a noun. i.e., I'm in the lifestyle. It can also be an adjective. i.e., I'm going to a lifestyle party.
- Sounds like BS. Don’t let them intimidate you. There are so many clubs, etc that use the word to attract customers. Are they planning on suing all of those too? Don’t give in to jerks...
