Taking Safety Precautions When Swinging

Safety Swinging

While outsiders tend to think of swinging in terms of "keys in the bowl" parties and actions, the overwhelming majority of swingers take more precautions than you think. Swingers are often criticized for their lack of concern for their safety and sexual health. But in an age where diseases can spread quickly, Swingers are taking the necessary precautions to ensure their safety and health is intact.

Think about this question for a minute: What is the difference between being a swinger and swapping partners with another couple and being single taking someone home from the bar for a one night stand?

In most cases, swingers are actually taking more precaution:

• Swingers often are members of private clubs where members have to apply to join.
• Swingers often meet the other couple before engaging in sexual activity.
• Swingers abide by pre determined rules before swapping partners.
• And, in many cases, swingers stick with the same few couples.

While there are still some obvious risks to swinging, swingers can reduce their chances of getting sexually transmitted diseases by taking the following precautions:

• Refrain from engaging in sex when under the influence
• Always use a condom
• Have good hygiene habits
• Get tested regularly and make sure your sex partners get tested as well
• Limit the number of partners you have
• Select other couples wisely
• Know the signs of STD's and get treated immediately if you show signed.

Taking these precautions will greatly reduce your sexual health risks.

A second precaution that does not get enough attention is personal safety when engaging in swinging. Always be cautious when meeting new people or couples, especially if you meet them online.

Take your time and get to know them before you actually engage in swinging activities. It is a good idea to meet them in a public place. Meet at a coffee shop and talk about what you and your partner want to get out of the experience. Develop a personal relationship with couples. It is much safer to have a select few couples who you can trust than frequently swapping with many different couples.

Never, under any circumstance should you meet with another couple in an obscure area. Do not give out your personal information or agree to meet others at their home if it your first time meeting. You never know what can happen and you must take as many precautions as possible.

This is why swingers clubs are so valuable. Members are screened and you can experiment in a safe environment. Your risks are greatly reduced in swingers clubs.

While the swingers lifestyle does come with its health and safety risks, being responsible and taking the necessary precautions will ensure you can minimize the risk and embrace the lifestyle at your own pace.
