A Beginners Guide to Swinging, Lifestyle and Kink

Updated: Jul 23, 2023


Did you know? The term key party originated in the 70’s - after couples at parties would throw their keys into a bowl, and take home whoever’s keys they ended up with.


Did you know? That the universal symbol for swingers is an upside down pineapple?


I have been in the lifestyle now for 6 years - and I once - had these questions, myself. I remember googling "how to find a threesome" and scouring the internet for resources on where I might be able to find myself stumble into one casually, researching the dynamics on how to ask, get it right, things to know.


And the thing is - there are many ways to explore, learn and cultivate an open lifestyle with yourself and your partner(s). The first lifestyle party I went to, I met a really awesome couple - and the wife sat me down and told me "don't do anything you're not into. You can say no. You can try it later. You can tell your partner no. You can watch, you can think about it, but you do not need to do anything to start - and the less expectations you have, the less you'll worry about them, and the more fun you will have.


That was some really solid advice someone gave me - that I would totally pass on to the next person looking to explore a consensual non monogamous lifestyle.


Here are also some of the best resources I have found to help me on my journey.


Educate yourself - listen to podcasts, read books and learn from others experienced in the lifestyle.
