You’re now dealing with three or four (or more!) people’s preferences. There are many more opportunities for miscommunication.

Taylor Frankie Paul, a 28-year-old mum-of-two with 3.5 million TikTok followers,caused controversy after sleeping with a member of the community without her husband’s knowledge. According to Daniel Stern, author of Swingland and a 10-year swinging veteran himself, there are an estimated 15 million swingers around the globe, and you’d be hard-pressed to figure out which of your family members or neighbors are secretly swinging at first glance. “They are teachers and police officers and lawyers and business people; it’s every walk of life,” Stern says. “I posit that everyone is one degree away from a swinger; they just don’t know it.” Breaking this rule without prior agreement from your partner is a breach of trust,’ says sex expert Isabelle from Bedbible. ‘Crossing your partner’s boundaries in this way and being dishonest by doing it without their consent damages the foundation of trust needed in a relationship.’ Can ‘soft swinging’ have benefits in a relationship? I haven’t told my family or close friends about this aspect of our relationship because I’m afraid they will think I am forced into it. I’m not ashamed of our actions. But I believe many people won’t understand our motivations.Want more sex and dating stories in your inbox? Sign up for Mashable's new weekly After Dark newsletter .

Arriving at any party late can feel as though you’ve already missed out. It’s like arriving at a party completely sober while all other guests are already drunk.

They hope to "break the stigma" surrounding non-monogamy and swinging. Cate, a podcaster, said: "The first time I swung I was terrified. Theirs is a really negative stigma surrounding the lifestyle. I thought a hairy chested dude wearing a gold chain with a beer belly was going to come out and f*** me. Some couples think that swinging may resolve other relationship issues, but it’s not always the case.’ In reality, if romance is something you’re looking for, you’re barking up the wrong tree.

If love is on your radar, then you’re looking in the wrong place because the swing lifestyle won’t work for you. As you can see, the swing lifestyle is extremely varied and interesting. Therefore, there’s every chance that you know someone who swings themselves. Is the Swinger Lifestyle Community Couples Only? Soft swinging involves non-penetrative sexual relations outside of a marriage or primary relationship, as opposed to swinging or a ‘full swap’ where two or more couples will exchange partners and have sexual intercourse.Consensual sexual activities between adults do not harm the people taking part in them, nor will they impact anyone else who isn’t involved.

It was nothing like that at all there are people from all walks of life, it’s like any other bar except there are playrooms. You drink, chat to different people and dance."How she got into it:“Depending on the state of each relationship and my boundaries with different partners, I had different experiences. In the beginning, when I was younger, it felt awkward based on my inability to be assertive about my wants and needs. It felt more like that group sex stereotype that you might see on TV or in porn… and definitely more male pleasure-centered.” He adds: ‘Certainly in the last two years swinging is in the news, open relationships are in the news, every single day on loads of outlets.
