Swingers

Swingers are individuals who engage in sexual activities with other people besides their primary romantic partners, typically in a recreational or social context. Swinging, also known as partner-swapping or wife-swapping, involves consensual exchange of partners within a couple or among a group of people for sexual purposes.

Additional Information

Swinging is a form of non-monogamy where partners in a committed relationship agree to engage in sexual activities with other people, either together or separately. It is different from polyamory, which involves having multiple romantic relationships. Swingers often emphasize that their outside sexual encounters are purely physical and do not involve emotional intimacy or commitment.

Swinging activities can range from soft swaps (kissing, petting, oral sex) to full swaps (penetrative sex). They may occur in private residences, hotels, or organized swinger clubs and parties. Couples set their own boundaries and rules regarding the types of sexual activities they are comfortable with.

As with all sexual interactions, consent, communication, and safer sex practices are of utmost importance in swinging. All parties involved should be aware of and agreeable to the arrangement. Many swingers adhere to a code of conduct that prohibits attempting to "steal" partners or form outside emotional attachments.
