I'm still in my 20's but I've always been curious.

What are the differences between the swinging era of today and the 80's-90's era?

It all seemed so much more naughty and erotic back in the day. (not that i was there but ive seen videos on pornhub lol

If you've experienced multiple eras of swinging tell me your favourite time and why

Early 90s

Loads of private parties in posh areas - it was knowing the right people though!

The 70's were great. Arranged meets through the contact magazines like Experience and Vibrations.

Lates 80’s and early 90’s

Lots of private parties & underground clubs. This is when I got into it, and then the expansion of the internet, which had big plus for ease of chatting, but also brought time wasters & dreamers.

If you knew the right people and got invited to the right parties it was fantastic

Contact mags. People would put an ad in a contact mag. Brief description, usually no photo. People would send in a letter that would be forwarded to the advertiser. If the advertiser liked it, then they would reply directly back. Usually by letter as well.

It was a total faf but it worked, because timewasters could not be bothered with it. I reckon I had a 1-10 success rate with it.

Contact mags were usually advertised in porn mags or could be bought in sex shops.

We prefer it now as opposed to pre internet. You can look at people's profiles and verifications, send an instant message and photo. With contact magazines you had to send a letter with pics in the post.

The best contact mags were the ones where replies had to be paid for (Experience, Forum magazine etc). Enclosing a well worded letter on good paper, a tasteful photo and a SAE increased the chances of a meet. After that it was like any meet today.

What it did was out the timewasters.

There was quite a time lag from sendingbones sdvert but once published every week a big bundle of letters would arrive and the sorting start.

Most were easy to discard and no SAEs, crudely written on abtornnout lined page with no photo eliminated a good few.

Then thevthreevpiles:Yes, Maybe and No.

Resort until a shortlist.

Then the replies. Easy enough, a polite note on the letter, into the envelope and onto the post box.

The yes ones had to be more carefully written and now we had to write a good letter, a good photo & the SAE. To deter photo collectors we colour photo copied our pictures (usually naturist ones from holiday).

Then the 'phone calls and the sex.....

It is far more accessible now, in the past unless you were in a group of likeminded people it could take weeks to arrange a meet, today you can send a message and meet a couple of hours later or even sooner.

Depending on where you lived there could be a very small pool of swingers playing together, similar to going to a club these days.

Late 90’s/early 00’s for me. The internet made finding other like minded people a lot easier, but it hadn’t become quite so mainstream, which meant the ratio of genuine to time wasters was a lot better than it is now.

I hear you, would you say there's alot more people who 'just exploring' and don't actually know what they want. (in which there's nothing wrong with)?

Exploring is one thing, but I think anyone who’s been involved in this scene for any period of time will have encountered the keyboard warrior idiots who are just about to wind people up or waste their time. Just an unfortunate side effect of the web being so ubiquitous nowadays, along with the higher awareness of swinging.

80's 90's.

Sending and answering letters ed out the timewasters.

Oasis, Rendezvous etc were full of genuine swingers prepared to post in ads, pictures etc.
