What is swinging

What is swinging? In simple terms, swinging is a lifestyle in which committed couples agree, together, to include other people in their sexual lives. On Trueswingers.uk, members chat about the lifestyle, its language and the fantasies behind it. Here is a clear introduction for anyone who is curious.

What is swinging at its core?

At its heart, swinging is about shared choice. Unlike cheating, everything happens with both partners' knowledge and consent. Couples set their own rules together, and those rules can vary enormously, from flirting and watching to full sexual contact. Many swingers describe the lifestyle as recreational rather than romantic: emotional commitment stays with their partner.

Common terms

  • Soft swap. Some intimacy with others, usually stopping short of full sex.
  • Full swap. Couples who are comfortable with full sexual contact with others.
  • Same room. Partners stay together in the same space.
  • Separate room. Partners are comfortable apart from each other.
  • Unicorn. Slang for a single woman who joins a couple.
  • Vanilla. People outside the lifestyle, or non-kinky activity.

Why couples are drawn to it

Couples give many reasons. Some want to add excitement to a long relationship. Some enjoy the thrill of watching their partner being desired. Others love the sense of adventure and the honesty it demands. Many say that talking openly about desire, which swinging requires, brought them closer together, even before anything else happened.

What swinging is not

Swinging is not a way to fix a struggling relationship, and it is not about pressuring a partner into something they do not want. It works best for couples who already communicate well and trust each other. If one partner is hesitant, the right answer is to slow down or stop.

Exploring the idea

For many people, the first step is simply talking: with each other, and with members who understand the lifestyle. Conversation lets you explore the fantasy without any commitment.

I am the kinds of lass who's attracted to a lad who has a great sense of humour. I enjoy fooling around when I have nothing better to do, and I think spending my time with someone funny would make the moment more exciting.

Sucking the living daylights out of men I lure into my bed is my specialty. Always keeping things fresh, always asking them to guide me with their words and moans. Not all blokes are the same, it's my job to listen and do what they want me to.

"I love pandas for the following reasons: 1. They are cute and chubby. 2. They can eat bamboo. The latter is the thing I like most. I've been wanting to suck a dick just the way pandas eat bamboos. Don't worry, I just want to suck a cock. I don't ...

Stripping in front of a bloke, feeling their electric gaze rake up and down my body, makes me feel alive. I am fond of putting on shows for my partners as a form of foreplay. Shagging gets more delicious when you sprinkle in anticipation.

I can say that I am one of the hot and sexy mommas here in my area. But what's surprising is that, even though I'm hot, no one still dares to hit on me or to chat with me, at the least. What do you think is the reason? Is it possible that it's becaus...
