Swing Lifestyle

The swing lifestyle isn't for everyone, but research has pointed to it correlating with happier marriages and life satisfaction for some who partake.

Swinging within a committed relationship requires good communication, a respect for each partner's boundaries and an openness to pushing ones own limits. If you or your partner are interested in becoming swingers, a good idea is to first do your research on the subject. It's also important that both partners are 100% on board with the idea of swinging and willing to address whatever that brings up in the relationship. If either partner is naturally jealous or insecure to start with, there's a good chance that that the swinger lifestyle will be very difficult.

Swinger parties are typically a very integral part of the swing lifestyle. These parties can be formal gatherings of several couples or intimate get-togethers with just a handful of couples. Other social events geared toward swingers are also becoming popular. These events include swinger conventions, cruises and vacations.
