My wife and I are curious about entering the swinger lifestyle, are there any dating sites that can help us?

My wife and I have been married for five years. We have an excellent relationship and I feel that our bond is stronger today than ever. Even before we got married we were always curious about the so-called swingers’ lifestyle. I consider us to be very open-minded and sexually liberated people. Even so, as curious as we are about swinging, we have never actually taken the leap. We’ve discussed different ways to enter this lifestyle. We have done a lot of research online. It seems that some dating sites can be good portals for those who are new to swinging. However, I know that not just any run-of-the-mill dating site will help us. I doubt seriously that eHarmony would look too kindly on this sort of activity. As such, what sites do you recommend?

First, allow us to applaud you for being open-minded and accepting of different lifestyles. The swinging lifestyle is nothing new. It has existed for generations before ours and it will assuredly exist for generations after us. A wide range of polls covering modern sexuality indicate that over 20 percent of couples have considered the swinger lifestyle, while approximately 12 percent have engaged in it at least once. Obviously, with figures such as these, there are going to be online hookup sites that focus on this sector.

We can tell that you have done your research. You are correct in stating that not every dating site is going to accommodate this particular niche. Fortunately, there are dating sites that focus on the swinging community. Some of these sites are stand-alone sites that dedicate their existence strictly to swinging and polyamorous couples. Recently, we conducted a review of a site known as Kasidie.com. This is a good example of a site that focuses strictly on the swinging community. Overall, it is a decent site and should provide you with plenty of opportunities to meet like-minded people.

Of course, especially if you are new to swinging, you will require more than just a platform to meet other swingers. You may have questions about entering the community. You may feel a little awkward when you are starting out and would like to find some sort of community support from like-minded individuals. For situations such as these, sites like Kasidie.com may not be up to muster.

If you are new to swinging and you want to have that feeling of communal support combined with a wide-ranging set of opportunities to meet different people, you would be best served with joining one of the more established adult-oriented dating sites. By the sheer size of their membership base, they will offer you a greater variety of people to meet. They will also offer a greater number of forums and community boards in which you can participate and learn more about what it is like to start out on your swinger lifestyle.

In our opinion, the only place that you can find that type of robust platform is on sites such as AdultFriendFinder.com and ALT.com. The former has been in operation for over two decades and is the quintessential site for people seeking sexually liberated adults, including swingers. ALT.com is suitable for those who seek something above and beyond the norm. By this, we mean that it is focused on those individuals and couples that are into specific sexual fetishes.

We periodically conduct reviews on sites like Kasidie.com and AdultFriendFinder.com in order to keep our readers abreast of their innovations. You will also find reviews of other smaller niche dating sites that focus on swingers like SwingTowns.com. You should be able to obtain a lot of information from our dating site reviews section that will guide you as you start out on your swinging adventures.

Again, we applaud you for your openness and wish you good luck.
