The Swinging Lifestyle

Swinging can be defined as recreational social sex between consenting adults, mostly couples, and other intimate friendships. Swinging was previously called "wife swapping". Back in the 50's, the husbands would toss their keys in the centre of the room, where the wives would then draw them at random, the owner of the selected keys was the sexual partner for the night. Swinging has always been about couples, maybe because most couples find the thought of having sex with others as a way to enhance their own sex lives. Also it gives them a chance to build friendships with other couples who have similar interest as them.

Swinging Etiquette

*Couples do not have to be married but must have some history and some knowledge about each other’s sexual and emotional needs. This is important when meeting other couples.

*Do not use swinging to replace your partner but use swinging as an enhancement for your sexual relationship.

*It is important to be extra sensitive to your partners needs. You both need to put your partners confidence and comfort first. There may not be a chance to explore the lifestyle of swinging if one partner becomes overwhelmed and forgets to treat their primary partner with respect and consideration.

*Stay open-minded, be friendly, and be responsible, Don’t forget about the other half. Also be flirtatious.
