Like in any other sexual activity, safety is extremely important in swinging. Maybe you and your partner don`t use a condom because you know and trust each other, but the swinging involves another people so using condoms is absolutely necessary. Use latex condoms with water-based lube, it`s the safest way to avoid very dangerous diseases and pregnancy too. Not all the condoms are the same, so men should try different type of condoms from various brands to find the type they like the most. Be careful when you put the condom to catch its tip as you unroll it to forbid the forming of the air bubble in the reservoir tip. You can put some water-based lube on the condom to increase the comfort and the pleasure and to avoid the condom tearing during the sexual act.
Change the condom at every new partner, as well as when switch from the normal sex to the anal sex. Regarding the oral sex, the use of barrier for this type of sex is not very widespread in the swinging community, but you and your partner should decide if you want to use it or not. There are risks of taking herpes, as well as HIV if the oral sex is unprotected, so it`s very important to know very well your swing partners, if you don`t use safe sex oral barriers.
Use surgical gloves if you want to stick your hand in someone`s ass or vagina and if you had your fingers in someone`s ass hole or vagina, wash your hands with hot water and anti-bacterial soap. If you use sexual toys, dildos, vegetables, put a condom on it; don`t switch the toys from vagina to ass hole or from one person`s body to another without putting a new condom on it before.
Personal hygiene and using things such as: paper toilet, wet wipes, are also very important.
