What is Closed Swinging? January 2nd, 2011

admin

Closed swinging is a common form of swinging for those involved in the community. While this type of swinging sounds mild, it’s more closely related to open swinging than it is soft swinging. You may find couples at swingers meet ups that are only interested in closed swinging, or you may see people listing this type of activity on profiles for swingers online. It’s good to know what the term means before you agree to anything.

Sex In the Vicinity

In closed swinging, two partners split off from one another and have sex with others behind closed doors. Their partners are not in the room to see what is going on. The idea is that they can be more open with their sexual partners without other people in the room. Closed swinging can eventually lead to other activities, and it’s a good way to become introduced to the lifestyle without worrying about others watching and making you uncomfortable.

Setting Rules

Since your partner isn’t with you as you swing in a closed swinging situation, trust and rules reign supreme. You have to have trust that your partner is going to follow the rules. You also must have very clear rules for what is and is not allowed. Without this, open swinging will never work out.

What is Open Swinging? December 20th, 2010

Open swinging can mean a few different things depending on who the swingers are and what the rules they set are. It’s a term you may see commonly in swinging profiles online and in adverts for other swingers. If you are confused about the term, here are some of the basic definitions.

Open With Other Swingers

In most cases open swinging refers to the activities that are allowed with in parties and swinging events. Those who practice open swinging are okay with their partners going off with other people, and they don’t expect their partner to be around. This makes the experience completely open, and can be a lot of fun for everyone involved. Some open swingers will also allow their partners to be with multiple people, so gang bangs, orgies, and threesomes aren’t off limits.

Open Entirely

Some couples enjoy a completely open relationship, and refer to themselves as open swingers. These couples don’t necessarily limit their interactions to just swinging events. For some, the thought of their partner being with someone else outside the relationship is a turn on, and this type of open swinging can be beneficial to those.

Jealousy Issues

It’s not common to find open swingers as other types of swingers. Open swinging involves a lot of trust, and jealousy must be dealt with head on to prevent problems in the relationship. You must completely trust your partner to follow the rules, even when you aren’t around in order for an open swinging situation to work.

What is Soft Swinging? November 17th, 2010

Soft swinging is a term you may see used when you are becoming active in the swinging community. Swingers use a variety of terms to describe their activities, although none of the terms are all encompassing. If you wonder what soft swinging is, here’s a quick overview of what it could mean.

Defined Outline

In most cases soft swingers won’t participate in everything sexually as full swingers would. While they are open enough to participate at clubs and events, the actual physical participation is limited to those two people. Others may watch, and have sex in the same room, but they will typically not swap partners in any way.

Soft Swapping

Another variation of soft swinging is soft swapping. With this partners may agree to participate sexually with others, but only certain activities are allowed. In most cases no penetration is allowed. Even though soft swinging is typically limited to oral sex, some couples may choose to involve a few other activities with established rules.

Who Soft Swings?

Many couples choose to participate in soft swing or soft swaps for a variety of reasons. Couples who are new to the scene may choose to start with soft swinging as a way to break in to the scene. A lot of couples will also choose to do this for safety and health reasons. It’s not uncommon for those who participate in soft swinging or swapping to expand their rules later to include other activities. Soft swingers are always welcomed at swingers clubs, but private parties may limit the number of soft swingers simply to keep the activities diverse.
