Swinging

Swinging dates back as far as the 1940s. We've all heard stories of our grandparent's "key parties", where one partner would put their keys in a fishbowl and the other partner would select a set of keys and go home with whoever owned the set of keys they pulled out. Times have changed since then, Swinging has evolved, just as the rest of ENM has. Swinging, whether with a partner or solo, looks different for everyone. The key points to remember when embarking on your swinging journey are to make sure that everyone involved consents, and that you have established clear boundaries before you begin.

Hotwifing involves a woman in a committed relationship, often married, who seeks out other men (with the permission of her partner) and has sex with them. Both she and her partner derive pleasure from this arrangement. The husband or partner may be included in the arrangement by watching, or joining in a threesome, or he may be somewhere else, waiting to hear the details later. While the term does imply specific gender roles, the acts themselves can be tailored to fit any couples' needs. 

Swinging has many different varieties, this can be something like a couple having a third person join them for casual sex, two couples swapping partners, or singles casually dating without making a serious committment to any of their sexual partners.  It can look like couples dating another couple or friends with benefits, or house-swapping, where the women will switch houses for the night, or a single person could join a couple for a threesome. 

The third type of swinging occurs at parties, where couples and singles will meet for casual encounters. These can be held at Swingers Clubs, hotel takovers, where a hotel is rented out for an event, or at someone's private home. Sexual activity can be public or private in all 3 situations, depending on the participants' preferences.
