A soft swinger is a swinger who does not engage in sexual intercourse outside of their primary relationship. They may, however, engage in sexual intercourse or other sexual activities with their partner in open places where other swingers may be present, such as swing clubs or swinger parties. Soft swingers might also engage in some sexual interaction with other partners, but not sexual intercourse. Soft swingers stand in contrast to hard swingers, who swap partners at swing parties and events.
