Ok so some people may think I'm being a little 'thick' here but this is a serious question which I have often thought about but never actually asked...
I personally have never had a partner that I could 'swing with' but I look at this site and see many different relationships, such as single guys and girls, MF couples, MM couples, FF couples, tv,s and transgendered women, etc....
My question is what actually qualifies you to be a true swinger and do you have to be a couple of whatever gender to be considered a swinger or does the term swinger relate to a community?
I do hope that not too many rocks are thrown at me for this post ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

Wife swapping, you'd need a partner for that. But even after saying that some couples meet alone too.
Not even sure what swinging is myself exactly, according to definitions it just means promiscuous sex. Some people think singles are on here for couples, i don't agree with that and not sure what the site owners would say either... i mean we are allowed on here but was it so couples could meet us? Idk. |

To me swingers are people in a committed relationship who include others in their sex life.
So I personally don't think a single person can be a swinger.
Not that labels matter as long as everyone has fun

Oh for fucks sake I ain't letting that spelling travesty survive.
I've always been under the impression that a swinger is someone who is open to more than one sexual relationship*, but draws the line with having multiple partners who they're fully emotionally involved with.

I swing with my boyfriend but I've also met separately too and still considered myself to be swinging when I did that. I think the couples only aspect is a bit dated - for me it's about people enjoying having multiple partners, clubs, group sex etc and more about a sexually open-minded attitude - and that's totally applicable to single people as much as couples. |

I'm still not sure I understand exactly what the term means though I guess I'm getting there ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

I think it used to be limited to people in committed relationships who had sexual encounters with others - with their partners knowledge either playing as a couple or playing separately.
But these days single people who "play around" are considered swingers too. |

Wikipedia has this to say:-
Swinging, also known as wife swapping or partner swapping, is a non-monogamous behavior in which both singles and partners in a committed relationship engage in sexual activities with others as a recreational or social activity.
The swinger community sometimes refers to itself as "the lifestyle", or as "the alternative lifestyle". The term "wife swapping" or "partner swapping" is criticized for not accurately describing the full range of sexual activities in which both singles or couples may engage, which is not limited to conventional sex with a person other than their regular sex partner. |

"I think the term is outdated and should be abolished,along with other labels."
I think the term swinger is quite negative and still links back to 1970's keys in a goldfish bowl!
I like to think of it as nsa sex with like minded people, not involving a pub/nightclub and round the back near the biffa bins! ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |
