Swingers Are Happy

Swingers rate themselves happier (59% against 32% very happy) and their lives much more exciting (76% against 54% exciting) than does the rest of the population, by surprisingly large margins. There was no difference between the responses of men and women.

 The study was carried out in 2000 by a private Catholic university in the USA.

Types Of Swinging

Although swinging is generally thought of as occurring among couples, there are a number of swinging activities that may include (but are not limited to):

Exhibitionism: having sex with a partner while being watched.

Voyeurism: watching others have sex .

Soft Swinging or Soft Swap: kissing, stroking, or having oral sex with a third or fourth person. Soft swap may be in the form of a threesome, group sex, or the literal swapping of partners.

Full Swap: having penetrative sex with someone other than one's partner. Although this is the commonly understood definition of swinging, it is not necessarily the most common type.

Group Sex: An all-inclusive term for activities involving multiple partners in the same vicinity.
