Swinging is a very open lifestyle; you need to be open minded about the concept in order to enjoy it. There are also a lot of sexual activities involved, making the lifestyle even more ‘free’ and open. Still, there are certain aspects that need to stay protected. Not all swingers are comfortable letting other people, non-swingers, know about their involvement in the lifestyle.

You need to respect other swingers when it comes to their private lives. They may not want to share their personal information (i.e. phone number or address) and you need to be able to respect that. Asking questions about personal lives is considered impolite in swinging, so try to avoid it unless the topic is accidentally brought up by either party and no one is showing objections. Even if your swinging partners do gave you personal information, you shouldn’t be contacting them (pay a visit or call them at their offices) unless they are OK with it.

Another good principle is to remember that what happens in swingers clubs stays in swingers clubs; when I say swingers clubs I mean whatever happens when you are swinging, no matter where you are. It is not nice to meet a swinging partner at a local café and start to talk about swinging or what they did in front of everybody, so don’t do it. Respect their privacy and allow them to enjoy the lifestyle without worrying about their personal lives being breached. If you can respect other people’s privacy, they will surely respect yours.
