Product Information

Trust the source. Research the promote or group throwing and the party and make sure they prioritize consent and acceptance. Swinging Tip: If you’re into swinging but not necessarily BDSM and other kinky stuff, ALT may be a little bit too much for your taste. Her advice to those considering swinging:“Don’t feel pressure. Most people who are new to swinging don’t actually have sex. They like to watch. In a swingers club, no really does mean no. Many times, I’ve had men or women approach me and if I don’t feel like it, I just say no. You can explore any fantasy you have at a swingers club. I would suggest for first timers to try a larger club where there are lots of people. People who go to swingers clubs are normal people who you would never guess in a million years are swingers. About 90 percent of people who swing are married with kids and just want to try walking on the wild side together.” Jessica Drake, an adult superstar and certified sex educator, has been swinging since before she was in the adult industry.

I chose him as my life partner because he is an innocent and loving person. I still remember falling in love with him after being touched by how much he loves his mum. Ness Cooper, a clinical sexologist, therapist and coach, says: ‘Soft swinging can help you avoid the emotional and moral tax society places upon penetrative sex, and help avoid negative emotions such as shame that may arise from penetrative sex due to social expectations placed on it.’ How to bring ‘soft swinging’ into a relationship Over time, we also started meeting couples who we felt more in sync with. We call them our regulars, and our relationships with them have developed substantially since we first met. Now, we meet more often for meals and drinks than for play. To Each Their Own Cate left her high-flying corporate career as a global director of operations in 2019 and openly came out as a swinger - after hiding it from the world due to 'a morality clause in her work contract'. Darrell works in sales but says his company have been accepting of his alternative lifestyle. Another warning bell was sounded in “The Sex Monster” (1999), an American comedy. It describes how a reluctant wife is persuaded into swinging, after which she turns into an insatiable nymphomaniac who prefers women to men. Husbands be warned! “Zebra Lounge” (2001), A Canadian erotic thriller, took the negative message even further, when one of the swinging couples turns out to be a pair of dangerous psychopaths. Now, besides the moral issues, people needed to consider their personal safety.I’m watching a Silicon Valley CEO being led around the room on a leash. His wife is in the next room, where a jewellery designer is getting comfortable with three men who definitely aren’t her husband. I’m part of the LA swinging community and at these parties, anything goes. For a few hours everyone can forget the stresses of juggling normal life and live judgement free. There are couples who’ve come together and some who’ve come alone (though always with their partner’s approval). That was the appeal for me - the ability to explore your sexuality whilst also maintaining an open, trusting relationship. They are now based just outside Amsterdam and have lived there since March 2022 and say they love the "openness and fluidity of Dutch culture".

Feeld is similar to 3Fun in that it’s all about connecting open-minded people who may be looking for threesomes and other group sex activities. It’s also okay if you realize that swinging isn’t for you! Couples close their relationships because they don’t have the time to attend parties or sort through profiles, and reopen again later. Sometimes you don’t have the bandwidth for the extra communication because work is too stressful. Maybe this experiment helped you realize you only need a sex party once a year when the kids are at camp. You also just might not enjoy sharing your loved one sexually — and that is totally fine.

For the first time on the cruise, I was starting to feel worn out – in the most satisfying way, of course. My husband and I kept things quiet as well, reinforcing our love for each other with a sunset blowjob on the balcony. Warning: As you’d expect, this week’s diary features some explicit details about sex, so it’s definitely NSFW. Monday

Everyone I spoke with stressed that newbies should go in with low expectations. For example, try watching your partner dance and make out with someone else. "Dancing can be foreplay," says Kenzie. "We can grind a little bit on the dance floor to make that connection" before taking it to a play space. It’s also a low-level activity to test your tolerance for non-monogamy. Remember what Brenna said earlier about salt? If you can’t handle seeing a dance floor make-out, you probably won’t be able to handle seeing their face full of someone else’s genitals. Some time in the morning, the ship pulled up offshore Rangiroa Atoll, where dolphins are known to frolic. It was then that John told me about the world of swinging. He explained to me what it was and how it worked. Like most, I was baffled that such a community existed. I started reading up and educating myself about the world of swinging. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued. The biggest area that could have been dealt with better was getting into swinging is about both of you and the way you pressed the issue when she clearly said "NO" several times is probably where she may have got it in her head that she wasn't good enough for you. Within my relationship with my SO we have a rule every night/experience ends together.

So, what are sex parties actually like?

John and I love each other, and we have built a relationship in which we coexist harmoniously. The unique nature of our relationship and the memories we have created together can never be replicated by or with another person. It can feel daunting to go to a party where any type of sexual activity is encouraged. To ensure that you have a good time, below are three hot tip recommendations, straight from Venus Cuffs herself.

Darling, what would you say if I told you I wanted us to become swingers?” I asked my fiancé this morning over breakfast, having read that a third of men would be open to the idea of more than one partner. Meanwhile, on TikTok, the hashtag “swingers” has been used more than 1.2 billion times, many accompanied by a mysterious pineapple emoji — more on that later. The whole premise is that the level of intimacy is agreed upon prior to any sexual act. Taylor and her husband are part of a community that agrees to swap partners but draws the line at penetrative sex. Swinging is a bit like Communism. Great as an ideal, frequently sh*t in practise. The reason? HUMAN BEINGS! I was eager to start, and John and I agreed we would reassess the situation if I realised I didn’t like it. If you believed that swinging came without any rules because all couples simply go with the flow, then that’s not quite right. There is a certain etiquette to follow. Otherwise, you might discover that you are no longer welcome at events or parties because your reputation stands out. The rules can differ from one event to another, so it’s worth exploring them before agreeing to attend an event.Still, I eventually realised that was the entire point of the encounter. I did, however, find it strange to make out with John with other people in the room. And hey, if seeing queer sex at a party turns you or your partner off, just look away. What about jealousy? Through meeting and exploring sex with other couples, learning new peoples’ bodies and preferences can help you become more aware of your own and your partner’s as a result, says Morse. That self-awareness piece (and knowledge of your partner) is key here. If either of you tend to experience jealousy intensely, then swinging could potentially be a challenge for your relationship, according to Morse. Once you’ve established what jealousy looks like or doesn’t look like for you as a couple, you can move on to thinking about swinging more seriously. “From there, you and your partner may find you even strengthen your communication and trust, and build an even more solid foundation upon which to have sexy adventures,” says Morse. Once he was inside the swinging subculture, Stern was surprised by what he found. He explains that he had preconceived notions of swingers that weren’t exactly flattering or, apparently, accurate. “The major stereotypes are that swingers are a subculture of overly libidinous miscreants that want to [have sex with] anything with a pulse,” he says. What he found, however, was that swingers are just regular men and women who may be a little more kinky than the average person, and often a lot more tolerant. “I’ve found swingers to be the most accepting and caring lot I’ve come to know in this life,” Stern says. “It’s probably because we’re all outside society’s norm, so we understand.”
