Is that what you are trying to get to - is a definition? Because that isn't what I've read on here. I've also said that for me the main difference between poly and swinging is sex - when it happens and why. There are already definitions established on swinging and polyamory: Swinging is the...

And this is where we disagree - I think voyeurism in a swinging setting constitutes engaging in swinging. They voyeuristic individuals may not self identify as swingers but they are participating in a swinging event with their attendance and for the sole purpose of engaging either in viewing sex...

If the last part is true, then swinging is as compatible with asexuality as monogamy - in this scenario.

I think it's possible for anyone to get involved in swinging as an activity. All you have to do is go to a swingers event. Not everyone who goes to swinging events actually have sex - even if sex is on the agenda. Not all swinger events are orgies, despite what is believed or portrayed...

Hello I'm new to this site but an old hat at open, non-monogamous relationships. I've been in two triads and am currently in a long term, stable relationship going on ten years. We've been open, poly and swinging the entire length of our relationship. Yes, I am a swinger as well as identifying...

This topic always surprises me when it comes up. Society in general views both polyamory and swinging as negative. It doesn't help when one group denigrates another because they fear being misrepresented by society in general. People believing polyamory "is like" swinging is only bad when...
