In the swing there is a style of sexual activity that adapts to each occasion. There is no right or wrong style, it is just a matter of what is preferable for each couple, and choosing the one that works best for you:
GENTLE SWING
Many couples choose soft swing, also known as “soft swapping,” as a great way to start exploring the Swinging lifestyle. They feel that the gentle rocking allows them to add a little spice to their relationship without the risk of jealousy. Couples do not swap partners at any point in the session because they prefer to have actual intercourse with each other, rather than share it with other people. Couples can have sex with their own partners while another couple has sex in the same room at the same time. Gentle rocking involves teasing, foreplay, and even oral sex with another partner before returning to your own partner for real sex. These things are usually negotiated between couples in advance. Gentle rocking can also include girl-on-girl play alone while the men watch.
OPEN SWING
Also known as “full swapping – same room only,” this type of swapping allows couples to swap partners and have sex in the same room and, quite often, in the same bed. Couples who prefer to be together at all times during sexual play will choose this type of swing activity. The male will be with the female of the other pair and the female will be with the male of the other pair. Depending on the choice of bisexuality, there may also be same-sex sexual contact. One of the main benefits of the open swing is that because everything is done together for all parties involved, there is no question of what is being said or done.
The open swing is also perfect for exhibitionists and voyeurs. It can be very erotic to see your partner receiving pleasure from another and looking up to see your partner watching you receive pleasure from another. The open swing can also possibly lead to some variations of group sex and techniques that are not possible in the closed swing.
Many swingers find that the open swing allows for the full release of their sexual desires and the fulfillment of their fantasies. Because the open swing can only be successful when neither member of the group shows jealousy, it is generally only recommended for couples who have been swinging for some time.
SWING CLOSED
Also known as “full swapping – fully open,” this type of swinging allows couples to swap partners and have sex in separate rooms. Swingers who choose this type of activity for sexual play feel that it allows them the freedom and privacy to “discover” their swinger partner in a deeper way without the distractions of another couple in the same room. Another benefit of the enclosed swing is that it allows the freedom to act out various fantasies without feeling like you are being watched. The closed swing is usually practiced by couples who have been swinging for some time and have developed enough trust and understanding between them to make it an enjoyable and successful experience.
