Some people define it as couples who swap partners.

I would say, anyone who enjoys group sex,or multiple partners or sex in a social setting.

For us it's a relaxed and open way of living which also involves non monogamous sex.

I just love my swinging family. Been on here a number of years now both as a single and a couple. I have such a fantastic circle of friends and we all love sharing. After all , sharing is caring

Nowadays I think it means anything anyone wants it to mean.

But originally I think it was when a dozen or so couples met up and wife swapped. The couples would put their car keys in a bowl or something and the women would pick one and then would partner of with who the key belonged to. But they all socialized and hung together.

But now it's evolved into many things.

Thanks for the responses, I'm of the same opinion, sexually liberated folk who enjoy multiple partners and sexual encounters or as Wikipedia puts it 'a lifestyle where both singles and partners in a committed relationship sexually engage with others for recreational purposes.'

I asked this question as I was recently told that I'd been referred to as a 'slag' by a woman in the scene (that I've never even spoken to) for doing exactly that! It really made me question my understanding of what swinging means! Or maybe I need to question the word slag lol! Or maybe name calling should be left to the children's playground, no place for it in this beautiful adult lifestyle , anyways onwards and upwards, stay positive and happy fabbing

Swinging has so many sub-sets of play that we think it's just a general term for people who enjoy sexual pleasure in a none monogamous setting.

Well I did think it was ironic myself! Basically calling everybody on this scene for doing the same thing, hmm so maybe it wasn't meant as a childish insult after all lol!

Because I'm single I don't consider myself a swinger, just a seedy perv really who likes to spread it around. But men are not called slags are they. Nah she just did it to hurt you.

The same question occurred to me the other day when a much younger friend told me he was in a polyamorous relationship and made me wonder how we use terms like that and swinging and promiscuity; whether we all share the same understanding, as well as how far people use them to disguise what is just opportunistic faceless sex.

For me, swinging is simply sharing the pleasure of sex in an open and honest way with like-minded people, and if it brings friendship with it, so much the better.

They should splash out on an expensive fuck. The old adage is that you get what you pay for!

A swinger is many things. Emotion in motion. Swinging is within you and not in you. It is possible to be in the swing of things but also not swinging. All that swings is not nessesarily swinging. What once swung, may one day swing again. Until swung for the last time.

Can't contribute with a definition, but I can say why I disagree with many definitions given here.

Play: physical play surely can't be a condition of swinging. Types of dogging, cuckolding, voyeuristic are traditionally considered swinging and yet do not always require physical contact between all parties involved.

Actively doing something: a couple who used to play with others but decided not to do it anymore. Are they still swingers?

People playing as single while not in a partnership at present: this one is puzzling to me. Unpartnered Lady/Gent meets similar Lady/Gent and decide to have sex together. Should they be considered swingers if they met on Harmony/Tinder, or at a pub, or at a work event? Usually society would not think of them as swingers, so why would they be thought of swingers if they meet through Fab?

"Cheating": individuals in a partnership who play without their partner being aware or having agreed to it. Are they swingers, or simply cheaters?

Like-minded people: talking to a swinger and seeing things in the same way they do does not make anyone a swinger. As an example, I may agree that people should be legally free to use drugs and yet have zero interest to try any or to engage with couples that use them.

Thank you OP for this thread, it's amazing so many swingers here and yet we seem to be struggling to nail a definition, LOL.

I don’t class myself as a ‘swinger’ cause I’m single and I have sex with multiple men either 121 or in group fun but i do class myself a as part of the lifestyle.

There are some hypocritical people on here that look down their nose or slag others off for doing what we are all doing but I find it’s best to ignore those and be thankful they aren’t people I socialise with or class as friends.

It is par for the course on sites like this. Been called many things over the years for simply talking to someone, someone else fancied. In forums for simply posting comment and quoting.

As others have said swinging is a generic term almost cliché. Means lots of different things to different people.

It would be better if people expressed what it actually means to them rather what it actually is genarally, save a lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding, possible anger or dissapointment.

Another singleton who doesn't class themselves as a swinger as I've never done this as part of a couple.

If asked to describe myself, I'd say ethically non-monogamous (ENM), bi-sexual and kinky.

As for the petty name calling and slut-shaming, I'm sorry you experienced that OP. Definitely not okay and says everything about them as a person and nothing about you.
