Some statistics show that 1-2% of adults between the ages of 20 and 50 are swingers. So, the next time you are at work, at the mall, or walking around town, know that there is probably another swinging couple around you. The challenge is to know who they are. Swingers are short, tall, black, white, thin, and full-figured. Remaining open to a wide variety of choices is the key to getting the most out of the swinger lifestyle.

With the broad diversity of swingers, the common ground shared by most is that they are committed couples. Successful swinging couples are able to differentiate between sex and love. They understand that an interest for sexual variety does not imply a lack of love for their partner. The swinger lifestyle provides a venue to explore fantasies not typically attainable in a traditional relationship.

The lifestyle also empowers women to express and act on their desires without judgment. Sex is all about physical pleasure and love is commitment and relationship. If you are looking to cheat on your partner, then swinging is not for you.
