A DRAMA about swingers has flopped in the ratings - because it has NO SEX.

ITV1 warns viewers to expect "sexual content" in the late-night Swingtown series. But most episodes have passed with no romps at all.

The supposedly racy show, starring Jack Davenport and Molly Parker, has already been axed in the US, where it divebombed in the ratings.
