Whether you’re still thinking about whether swinging is right for you or you’ve committed to attending your first swinger events, it can be a bit nerve-wracking if you don’t know what to expect. At Swing Social, we’re all about creating spaces where swingers feel comfortable, especially people who are relatively new to the community. That’s why we’ve created a few guidelines on what you can expect when you attend a swinger event or party!
5 Things You Can Expect at Swinger Events
When it comes to attending your first couple swinger events and parties, it can be difficult to know what to expect. We’ve put together a list of 5 standard expectations when you attend swinger parties:
- First, and foremost, you should anticipate that your event will be full of couples looking to swap partners, socially and sexually, which is the point of a swinger party! If you’re going to a swinger party with your established partner or by yourself, you should expect that the other attendees will typically be in established relationships and are looking to meet new people to enrich their sex and social lives.
- A social atmosphere. Many swinger events include dancing, drinking, and dress codes, and all of them include being social. Remember that swinger events are a place specifically intended to meet people with similar interests and desires. Being social is a necessary part of building the swinger community. It’s okay to be nervous! But remember everyone is there to have a good time, not judge, so don’t be afraid to open up.
- Open discussions of boundaries. Most people attending swinger parties are there with an established partner. You and your own partner should establish boundaries and rules that work for you! When swapping partners, it’s best to have open communication so everyone involved is on the same page.
- Safety first! Swingers are more likely than non-swingers to practice safe and protected sex. Maintaining a fun and safe environment is essential to swinger culture.
- Finding your community. Swinging and non-monogamy are still attached to a pretty large social stigma outside of swinger events, which is why the swinger community does its best to create a nonjudgmental and safe place where everyone is welcome! Swinger events are a place for you to come as you are and feel safe being your most authentic self. Meet new partners or even friends who share the same lifestyle and interests as you. Have fun and be respectful! Remember everyone is there to have a good time!
