To never accept an invite from this couple again?

Dh and I are friends with another couple but not terribly close mainly just due to busy lives, we mainly see each other for our young children's birthdays and the occasional party/wedding however over the last few months we have been invited over for drinks at theirs nearly every week. We have accepted and attended 3 times since February. I'm pregnant so not drinking therefore when the drinking started getting out of hand I made our excuses to leave boring pregnant lady

Anyway, Dh went out with the husband tonight (let's call him Dave). There was a group of 5 men and apparently Dave was already pretty pissed when dh arrived. The conversation then took a strange turn when Dave told the group that him and his wife have started swinging! He goes in to town to pick up people (couples or single men or women) and takes them home to his wife. Ok, fine, whatever floats your boat. BUT, then it got really weird with him propositioning dh and the other guys, "ahhh, go on, it's just a bit of fun. You can fuck my wife and I can fuck yours" etc etc. Dh has just come home a bit shellshocked saying that's literally all Dave spoke about for 2 hours and he had to be quite firm in the end saying you are not having sex with my wife!

Honestly, we're meant to be going to theirs in a fortnight and I don't know if I can!!! Apparently they have already lost one set of friends because of this. If you're going to do it, fine, but surely you keep friendships separate? I feel so awkward about seeing them!

Just moved to a place with a great mass of pampas grass in the garden. Told DP, well that's got to go. Had to explain to him why. He was Shock. Said he wondered why the neighbours seemed friendly...

Now we've got to worry about wicker hearts and hanging baskets? I haven't got around to anything like that so it seems like I dodged a bullet there!

I have to express my opinion that this is not "fine" except for animals of course.

No I really don't have anything to add, I promise!
I'm now fretting about my hanging baskets which are on the garage/shed wall... I wonder what the neighbours think (swinging room, perhaps?)
