Swingism

Swinging is a term that means a variety of alternative sexual experiences. In general, it is a form of sexual sharing among consenting adults. Its most common form is between male/female couples who swap partners for consensual sexual activity. Another common form is for a male/female couple to be joined by a single female. Couples range in age from mid 20s to mid 50s. Surprising to some, swinging is most popular with couples in their 40s and 50s. Swingerfaq.com describes swinging as "a form of recreational social and sexual intercourse between consenting adults". There are three common types of swinging lifestyles. The first of these is called soft swinging. This involves watching another couple during their sexual relations. It can also involve foreplay with other couples without vaginal penetration. Many couples use this stage as a point of entry to the swinging lifestyle. Closed swinging is where partners are swapped, but intercourse occurs in separate rooms. Open swinging is where partners are swapped and have intercourse in the same room or even the same bed, as in an orgy. Swingers come from every walk of life. They represent every profession, race and religious background. In other words, everyone who is willing to be sexually open and adventurous can become a swinger. Before you get started through, it is important that a few principles are adhered to, especially for couples. The first is that you must never push or pull your partner into the lifestyle. Meeting another couple or going to a swingers' party will not change his/her mind and may only cause the end of your relationship. The second principle is to decide what your boundaries are, both individually and as a couple. Make an agreement with your partner beforehand about what is allowed, and then stick with it. The other rule is, of course, to never fall in love. Following these rules can help insure a healthy relationship, while allowing you to enjoy the swinging lifestyle.
