Types of Swapping
Soft Swap
Everything except penetrative sex with the other couple. Kissing, oral, touching—but penetration only with your own partner. Many couples start here.
Full Swap
Includes penetrative sex with the other couple's partner. This is what many think of as "swinging."
Same Room vs. Separate Room
Same room: Everyone plays in the same space, can see partners. Separate room: Couples split into different rooms. Same room is often more comfortable for first-timers as you can see your partner.
Balancing Attention
One of the trickiest parts of swapping is ensuring everyone gets attention. If you're with the other partner but notice yours is being left out, or vice versa, it's okay to shift focus or bring everyone together. Good swapping partners are aware of group dynamics.
Common First-Swap Feelings
- Excitement mixed with nervousness
- Moments of jealousy or insecurity (normal!)
- Overwhelm at seeing your partner with someone else
- Unexpected arousal from watching your partner
- Relief when it goes well
Be Ready to Pause
If at any moment something feels wrong, pause. A good partner and a good couple will understand. "Can we take a breather?" is always acceptable. Use this time to check in with your partner privately.
