ENM Dating for Modern Couples
Explore ethical non-monogamy with a community that understands you. Whether you're ENM-curious or experienced, Swingular connects you with like-minded couples and individuals.
What is Ethical Non-Monogamy?
Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) is an umbrella term for relationship styles where all partners consensually agree to have romantic or sexual connections with multiple people.
Unlike cheating, ENM is built on honesty, communication, and consent. All partners are aware of and agree to the relationship structure.
ENM has become increasingly mainstream, with studies showing that over 30% of Americans have explored or are interested in non-monogamous relationships.
Whether you're curious about ENM or have been practicing for years, Swingular provides a safe, judgment-free space to connect with others on the same journey.
Open Relationships
Couples who are emotionally committed to each other but open to sexual or romantic connections with others.
Swinging
Couples who engage in sexual activities with other couples or individuals, often in social settings.
Polyamory
Having multiple loving, committed relationships simultaneously with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved.
Relationship Anarchy
Rejecting traditional relationship hierarchies and letting each relationship develop organically based on the people involved.
