How to flirt on swingers’ sites without crossing the line

Last Updated:

The first thing to remember is that the messages you’re reading are coming from real-life people, who are probably as nervous and excited as you are. Be prepared to forgive the occasional faux-pas and, certainly in the early stages, read between the lines. However, don’t leave yourself open to abuse on swingers dating sites.

  • Start gently. The first step to securing a face-to-face encounter is to engage on a personal level. This might seem mundane, but you want to know that the people you’re communicating with are both legitimate, and like-minded. You might want to read this article first, it contains everything you need to know before you get into swinging. Get to know the other users before you meet up.
  • Stay positive. While there are going to be some boundaries to be set, slamming them on the table as your opening gambit is more likely to put people off than attract them. Focus on the things you do like, rather than those you don’t. Those can be saved for another day.
  • Give compliments. Flattery gets you everywhere, so don’t be shy to say how good someone else’s profile pic looks or to tell them what you like about their messages. Don’t overload it; a select sprinkling will push all the right buttons.
  • Don’t play your trump cards at the start of the game. Your profile pictures will show any interested parties what they need to now. If you’re interested in making your swinger profile stand out, click here!
  • Wait until you’ve established a genuine connection before you start sending anything explicit. There’s nothing sexier than a bit of mystery.
  • Go with the flow. Once a connection has been established, the gloves are off. This is the point where you can exchange dirty talk, fantasies and photos. However, also remember that it’s the point where you can establish boundaries. If certain things are off the menu, now’s the time to say.

Taking the flirting further

Once you’ve established a connection with other users, the next step is to hook up. However, be sure to chat this through that you’re both up for it before moving things up a notch. You’ll need to exchange numbers and sort out a where and a when.

A good idea for newbies is to only reveal one contact number which, traditionally, is usually the males. It’s also a good idea to schedule your first encounter in an environment in which you feel safe. Hotels are a good idea to begin with, as they’re not your home and you can leave whenever you like.

Only once you fully trust the other couple should you invite them to your home. While this can be exciting, convenient and fun, it should be reserved for the select few and only when you’ve got to know them properly.

Swing couples are often found in various social and online environments catering to the consensually non-monogamous lifestyle. Swinger clubs provide physical spaces where individuals and couples can meet like-minded people in a safe and social setting. Online swinger platforms and social media groups offer digital spaces for discreet connections and discussions within the swinger community. Swinger events, parties, and adult resorts provide additional opportunities for couples interested in exploring non-monogamous activities to connect and engage in a consensual and respectful manner. It’s crucial for individuals involved in the swinger lifestyle to prioritize open communication, trust, and clear consent while adhering to legal and cultural norms in their specific location.
