Information about Swinging
Swinging is fun and a rewarding experience, you get to meet a lot of people and do a lot of things to them, its not just about the sex though, its a way of life.
We put this content together for those out there that are thinking about taking up swinging, to give some idea of what it’s all about, how to go about it, what the risks are and generally anything I could think of.

What is Swinging?
It’s been said that swinging is "social and sexual intercourse with someone other than your partner, with the full knowledge and consent of that person."

Many confuse swinging with wife swapping (swapping) as a lot of swingers are not married or may be single. A lot of swingers like to think of it as swinging for fun, that enjoy sex, meeting people as a opposed to a steady monogamous relationship with one person.

Swinging is a popular recreational activity for broad minded adults. The most common method is an adult male & female couple, meeting other couples for sex and sometimes ongoing intimate relationships.
In a nutshell swinging is about having sex with other people, it may take many forms;
Parties/Orgies with partner swapping or group sex Gang Bangs
Couples meeting up and having sex with each other
Watching your partner get bonked by lots of people
Specialist swinging i.e.; finding swingers with fetishes to play out fantasies

Swinging is also known as the lifestyle or the scene, swinging may take on a wide variety of different forms.

Swinging clubs may be either on-premises or off-premises. At On-Premises, you may interact sexually with others at an event, for off-premises you would arrange at an event and go back to a house or somewhere else with other people.

Swinging gained more awareness and grew in the 1960's, aided by the availability of better contraceptives and a more progressive outlook by the nation as a whole. Hence the phrase 'The Swinging 60's'.

Good communication is essential to avoid disappointment, often it’s a good idea to find out what is expected when meeting blind to avoid unpleasant encounters.

More often than not one partner would be interested in swinging but have no idea how the partner would react, rather then arranging a meet than springing it your spouse at the last minute, engage them in chat about their fantasy's and see how they react when you mention 4 in a bed scenarios. Steered towards this area other a period you have a better chance of success.

There's a big difference between swinging and cheating, as most swingers are open and honest with their partners they are unlikely to be receptive to people cheating on their partners in order to have sex. Most of the swinging community is made up with like minded swinging couples that like to share, unfortunately there are a lot of single males that try to get into the action and its not unknown for a single male to turn up to a swinging partner without a partner using the old 'she couldn't make it excuse'. Single women and single bi-sexual women are generally welcome at most clubs, single men and bi-sexual single men are to a lesser extent.

Many people starting off in the swinging world try to get their friends involved, you should remember that what is fun and seems natural to you may not be for them, better to ask yourself if you are willing to risk losing their friendship. Another thing to consider when encouraging people you know to engage in the swinging lifestyle is that if you end up having sex with them on a regular basis emotions could come into play and this could lead to complications.

Remember, everyone has the right to say no, if you meet someone and for whatever reason find them not suitable be honest and tell them why as tactfully as you can. This is a two way thing so don't be too upset or offended if it happens to you, it goes with the territory.

Nowadays there are more risks, we cover that on another part of the site, condoms reduce the risks considerably but there are other things you may catch or that may be transmitted so be careful.

Swinging Etiquette...
Arrive and leave as a couple Always arrive as a couple, and leave, it wont be viewed favourably if one partner leaves early and the other stays, the majority of time, if one goes, both go.

Arrive on time Its not fashionable to turn up late to parties, as the night may have already got underway, and you may make people who have already began feel awkward walking in late, it may also be harder for you to fit in. If you are going to be late, maybe due to traffic, give the host a ring and check with them, they may update you on how the night is going so you may walk straight into it.

Be polite The swinging lifestyle is full of insecurities and uncertainties. Being polite may help ease this. Treat people in the way you want to be treated; sensitively, thoughtfully, understandingly.

Be friendly Be friendly with every one, even if you do not want to take it further with them, you may find you have other things in common, or they may introduce you to people who you are interested in.

Reply to all invitations Reply to all invitations, even if you do not plan to attend. It is very annoying when you’re the host, if you do not know how many people are going to turn up. Reply by either by a phone call or a letter or email, thanking them for an invite.
Don't arrive empty handed Phone the host and ask them if there’s any thing you may bring, always arrive with something for the hosts.

Go prepared Take with you what ever you may need, toothbrush, comb, perfume/aftershave, Condoms, robe etc. If you’re sleeping over night then a sleeping bag and pillow.

Neat casual clothing and good grooming Always take a robe or negligee with you, you may find it more comfortable as the evening progresses. Keep money, jewellery and other such valuables at a minimum, it’s an embarrassment to you and your hosts if you lose them

Your health and hygiene The main thing that may turn your potential partners off may be bad breath or body odour. Have a shower before you leave for your party, and it’s a good idea to freshen up when you get there.

Only do what is fun for you The whole idea is that you enjoy your self, that’s why you are in the lifestyle. Do not be pressured into doing any thing you do not want to, with any one you do not want to, always say no if you do not want to.

How and why to say no The most basic and important swinging etiquette is the right to say no. A simple and polite No, thanks is all that is required. You do not need to explain, as this may cause problems and hurt. Do not be afraid to say no, every one has the right, and if you do end up doing things you do not want to it may cause more ill-felling and embarrassment.
Do not be pushy If you fancy swinging with someone let them know in a nice, inviting way, if they say no, it is up to them. Do not ask them why, as this could be embarrassing and hurtful. If they say no, do not carry on and try to sweet talk them and flirt with them, as this may do a lot more harm than good.
Alcohol Most people like a few drinks at a party, drinking socially is fine, it may provide a good social platform to get to know people, and it may also help you relax. Overindulging is not a good thing though, as it may hinder for physical and mental performance, and is a turn off for many people. If you need to drink heavily to participate in the party this isn’t the lifestyle for you.

Practice safer sex It is up to you to protect your self and your partner. The use of condoms should not offend any one, it is not saying your dirty, it is simple a means to protect all parties involved. Anyone not willing to use a condom is selfish and irresponsible. How ever, saying that, if all participating people are happy not to, it may be down to your discretion.

Do not take someone to a party who is not fully informed This is an obvious one, don't take any one to a party who doesn’t know what there going to, it is very embarrassment for every one, and probably may cause problems.

Do not take a ticket to a swinger’s party A ticket is someone who goes with you to the party just to get you in, but has no intention swinging, of course no one HAS to swing, but if one person swings, it is normally expected that the other one is willing to swing.

The group room is for group swinging As the name suggests, the group room is for group swinging, if you want privacy do not go to the group room, if you take your partner with you into the swinging room you may expect others to ask to join you, obviously you still have the right to refuse.

Do not disturb the swinging enjoyment of others If you’re in a bedroom or the group room, do not disturb the swinging of others with prolonged talk. This may be very mood-destroying and very annoying!

If a party is BYO, only drink what you bring BYO, also known as BYOB (bring your own booze), only drink what you bring, unless you have the permission from others.

Do not be a bedroom cruiser Do not walk into bedrooms, peel back curtains, turning on lights etc. Accidents do happen, and this isn’t a problem, but if you become known for such behaviour then you may find that you won’t receive many invites in the future.

Enjoy yourself Probably the most important one, approach every thing with an open mind and positive attitude, act out your fantasies, and enjoy your self.

Tell the hosts If someone is causing a problem, if they are not taking no for a reply or they are being abusive, tell the hosts, they may be more than willing to help.

Call to say thanks Always call or write to say thanks, for one thing it may get you invited again, and it may let the hosts know that they provided a good party.

Swinging Ethics...
Swinging has always been around, probably since the beginning of recorded time. It has had very different social implications throughout its time. In the 60’s and 70’s swinging was very much the in thing (the swinging 60's), and was very popular. There are a few rules which need to be followed, for happy swinging, although they are not written in stone, but intended more a general understanding of people into the swinging lifestyle, consider them more of a swinging etiquette.
ALL CULTURES - An individual or couple that enjoy all fetishes.
Do be truthful and honest.
Do talk to your partner; let them know your feelings.
Do be yourself.
Do decide what your needs are, your interests and desires.
Do tell other people what your needs, interests and desires are.
Do use Protection.
Do try new things that are within your limits.
Do move at your own pace and do not be rushed by other people.
Do reply even if it's to say 'no thanks'.
Do some research
Do have fun and enjoy the experience.
Do not be rude.
Do not be vague about your desires.
Don't tell lies.
Don't try to cross other people's limits
don’t cheat, you may get found out.
Don't ever give out personal information; wait until you are comfortable with them.

The Risks...
Without wishing to scare anyone I think its important that the real risk of catching something is pointed out and that you always go dressed for the party i.e.; wear a condom. Also if you can recognise some of the symptoms/signs then you may be able to avoid contact when you come across someone that has one of these diseases. In the unfortunate event that you catch something, early recognition may help you to find a cure before it becomes incurable or worse still infect someone else.
Most sexually transmitted diseases can be treated. However, even the once easily cured gonorrhoea has become resistant to many of the older traditional antibiotics. Other STDs, such as herpes, AIDS, and genital warts, all of which are caused by viruses, have no cure. Some of these infections are very uncomfortable, while others can be deadly. Syphilis, AIDS, genital warts, herpes, hepatitis, and even gonorrhoea have all been known to cause death. Many sexually transmitted diseases can lead to related conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical cancer, and complications in pregnancy. Therefore, education about these diseases and prevention is important.

It is important to recognize that sexual contact includes more than just intercourse. Sexual contact includes kissing, oral-genital contact, and the use of sexual "toys," such as vibrators. There really is no such thing as "safe" sex. The only truly safe sex is abstinence. Sex in the context of a monogamous relationship where neither party is infected with a sexually transmitted disease is also considered "safe". Most people think that kissing is a safe activity. Unfortunately, syphilis, herpes, and other diseases can be contracted through this apparently harmless act. All other forms of sexual contact also carry some risk. Condoms are commonly thought to protect against STDs. Condoms are useful in helping to prevent certain diseases, such as HIV and gonorrhoea. However, they are less effective protecting against herpes, trichomoniasis, and chlamydia.
Condoms provide little protection against HPV, the cause of genital warts. Here is a brief overview of the most common diseases (with links to more detail if you want to read more)

Chlamydia - Chlamydia is a very dangerous sexually transmitted disease as it usually has no symptoms; 75% of infected women and 25% of infected men have no symptoms at all.
Gonorrhoea - Gonorrhoea is one of the most frequently reported STD. 40% of its victims contract PID if not treated, and it can cause sterility.
Hepatitis B - A vaccine exists, but there's no cure; can cause cancer of the liver.
Herpes - Painful and episodic; can be treated but there's no cure
HIV/AIDS - First recognized in 1984, AIDS is the sixth leading cause of death among young men and women. The virus is fatal involving a long, painful death.
Human Papalloma Virus (HPV) & Genital Warts - The most common STD, 33% of all women have this virus, which can cause cervical or penile cancer and genital pain.
Syphilis - Untreated, can lead to serious damage of the brain or heart
Trichomoniasis - Can cause foamy vaginal discharge or no symptoms at all. Can cause premature birth in pregnant women.

Swinging Suggestion...
Stay together as much as you feel you need to, but do not hold onto one another like your life depended on it, or seem clingy, as this may make it more difficult for other couples to approach you.
As time goes on at the party there may be general disrobing. Only go as far as you want to and feel comfortable with. You may be accepted if you chose to remain fully clothed, although it is recommended that you try to include your self as much as possible, changing into something more revealing may help others include you and make you feel more involved.
Be honest with each other about your emotions. If you feel jealous of your partner, or have any other uncomfortable feelings then tell your partner, if you do not, they may only come out later and be much more awkward and damaging.
Do not worry about asking your hosts or other guests questions, swingers are generally interested in meeting new people, and may help explain the lifestyle as much as possible.
If there is a hot tub or spa for instance, try to use it, being nude, close to other people with a valid reason may help you make new friends.
Try as hard as you may to leave your inhibitions at home, both sexual and social. These may interfere with your swinging pleasure, you can’t expect to get much out of a swinger’s party if you are not prepared to put much in.
Do not pretend to be someone else, be friendly and good natured. A warm smile has a positive effect on every body.

Sexual Activities...
As you may probably guess there are many sexual activities involved with swinging, some may be common at most parties, but others may normally only be at a specially organised event to cater for that particular fetish.

Bisexuality people of the same gender interacting. This is much more common between women than men, but it does not mean every woman may indulge in it. Bisexuality between men is extremely rare in the swinging community, and is usually frowned upon if not organised prior, and is usually preferred in a separate area.

Couple to couple This is, by far the most popular, and really is the heart and soul of the swinging life style. One couple pairing up with another, after an exchange of partners, the couples usually continue sexual activity within close proximity to each other, i.e. within the same room or the same bed, probably interacting in such as way that it becomes a foursome, or group sex.

Extreme culture These include things such as spanking, bondage, sado/masochism and water sports (urination). The majority of these are very uncommon at most swingers parties unless the hosts have chosen a theme for the night, in which case you may be notified well before the night of the party.

Groups (Orgies) Usually defined by a group of 4 or more people interacting sexually, most commonly, as described above; two couples, although it may be any sex of four or more people.

Threesomes Threesomes are most common for couples just starting out; it is the most common method of starting in the lifestyle. A lot of couples may carry on with threesomes long after they have fully integrated in to the lifestyle. In threesomes, all three people may interact, or two people may interact with the other.

Voyeurism This is when you watch others perform sexual activities. This is normally welcome within the group area, but not in the private areas. Remember it is always polite to ask if people mind being watched.

What may i expect...
Swinging may be erotic, exciting and fulfilling as you want it to be. It allows you to explore your favourite fantasies safely. You and your partner may engage in private, intimate sexual activity, share someone in a threesome, enjoy with another couple, or engage in group swinging, all in the space of an evening. You may make new friends, and meet interesting people. It may also enhance your personal life and relationship, it may give you a positive feeling about your self and your partner.

Swinging may be every bit as erotic, exciting and fulfilling as you both imagine it to be. You may explore many of your favourite fantasies safely. You and your partner may engage in private, intimate sexual activity, share your mate in a threesome, enjoy another couple, or engage in group swinging - all in one evening. You may both make new friends and meet interesting people. Swinging also has the potential of greatly enhancing your relationship and personal life. A positive feeling about yourself, your mate, and your relationship is important. Swinging is not for everyone however. People need to discuss between themselves factors including jealousy, self-esteem, or any relationship problems, prior to entering into the swinging lifestyle. If any of these things are of major concern to either person, then chances are you are not ready to enjoy the swinging lifestyle and all of its benefits. Always remember, swinging is to enhance your relationship, not to repair or rebuild it.

Swinging Questions...
No matter how long you have been into swinging, you will hear these questions again and again;
Could swinging destroy a relationship or marriage?
The simplest answer is no, it can’t. However, for relationships on thin ice, it could be, i.e. the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Swinging should not be seen as a way to fix a failing relationship; think of it more for couples with good relationships that want to experiment and have fun.
Swinging is it always just sex!
Most swinging may involve sex, but it isn’t just about sex. Swinging is also about an atmosphere of warmth and belonging. You may be interacting socially as well, be it at a party, with another couple, or person for a threesome, you may be drinking, chatting, and maybe eating each other :) Getting to know others is almost a pre requisite before engaging in sexual activities.
