As a way to bond with their partner, swingers may engage in extra-relational sexual activities.Swingers will engage in extra-relational sexual activities when their partner is able to see it and/or participate in it.Swingers often refer to themselves as “the lifestyle,” meaning that swinging and other behaviours like kink or BDSM are integral parts of their sexual identity. They also influence the way they live their lives.
Myths About Swinging.
Swinging is not cheating, or an affair, contrary to what many people might believe. Swinging is built on the foundation of consensual, nonmonogamy. This means that all parties are fully aware of and approve of any sex that happens outside the main pair bond. Swingers are often misunderstood as people who cannot commit, don’t know how to set boundaries or are in trouble with their relationships. Shamyra Howard LCSW, a sexologist, says another misconception about swinging is that it can save a dying relationship. In fact, it is the exact opposite. Swinging is not a solution to troubled relationships. It will not stop cheating and won’t save a marriage. Only couples who are secure in their relationships should consider swinging and browse swingers for the best places near them.
Open Relationships Vs. Swinging.
Although swinging can be confused with open relationships, they are not synonymous. Swingers can technically be considered to be in an open relationship, meaning they have the right to have sex outside of their relationship. However, not all open relationships are swingers. Non-swinging open relationships are more likely to engage in extra-sexual relationships with their partners without their partner. Sometimes, there is even a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy about hookups. Swinging is an exciting form of swinging. Couples share more sexual experiences with one another and tell stories about them. Sometimes, swinging couples may be more open to other sexual partners when they are able to share a particular swinging experience. Polyamory is a different kind of swinging. It involves creating and maintaining romantic and sexual connections with multiple people. Swinging is not the same thing as polyamory. Swingers, unlike polyamorous people, aren’t actively seeking out romantic relationships with other people,” Aliyah Moore, Ph.D., sex therapist. “Typically swingers only want to have sex and have it with others without any strings attached.”
Swinging is strictly sexual and swingers have little to no contact with their partners. Brito says that all three concepts are consensual nonmonogamy. They require trust, communication and honesty. See the swingers glossary for more and below
