In late December 2020, a social media post sent shockwaves across the internet, suggesting that homes adorned with five-pointed stars were secret signals for “swingers,” a term often associated with couples who engage in partner swapping. However, our investigation uncovered no concrete evidence to support this claim. The roots of this rumor trace back to a 2007 post on the StrippersOnline message board, according to an article published by Distractify, a news and entertainment site.
