01 – What swinging is
Swinging is couples, and some singles, having sexual or social experiences with other people – openly and by agreement. Both partners know and both say yes, and the relationship at home stays at the centre of it. That consent is the line between swinging and cheating.
02 – Soft swap or full swap
The two terms you will see most. Soft swap generally means anything short of full sex with someone else; full swap includes it. Couples draw the line in different places, so profiles say which they are open to – and it is always worth asking what someone means by it.
03 – Starting as a couple
Talk before you do anything else. Agree what is on and off the table, whether you want the same room or separate rooms, and how either of you can call a stop at any point. On Swinging Site you join together, on one couple profile, and say what you are both open to.
04 – Single women and single men
Singles are part of the lifestyle too. A single woman who joins a couple is often called a unicorn. Some couples look for a single man, and their profiles say so – which is why reading a profile properly comes before sending a message.
05 – Staying safe
Meet somewhere public first, tell a friend where you will be, and agree your limits before the evening rather than during it. On the site, look for the ID-verified badge – verification is free for every member – and know that moderators can confirm someone is who they say they are with a live video check, no documents needed.
