If one partner wants to stop swinging it’s never an easy situation as we all have different libido cycles and life pressures that contribute to our enthusiasm for swinging. Our swing lifestyle expert explores the best way for dealing with it.

Religion has a lot to answer for when it comes to the hang-ups people have around sex, sexuality and relationships. But how valid are some of the things people are taught to believe, and is there an alternate view we can consider?

“Sex is a paradox. It needs the difference between man and woman, yet it reminds them that they are not different at all. In this way pleasure is the world’s great equalizer.”

Well it’s no secret that if you want to guarantee that you won’t get an STD/STI then don’t have sex! But if you're in the swinging scene or adult dating looking for casual sex partners it's important to know the risks so you can play safe.

My advice – get to know your vagina! Whether you’ve got a G or an AFE or XYZ spot, there are undoubtedly good bits that work specifically for you. The important thing is to relax and explore and enjoy your wonderful womanly bits!

This contract is about discussing everything at the start of relationships, rather than when things turn pear-shaped. We often end up investing half of everything we own in our spouse and it's important to understand our partner's expectations.

Sex doesn’t have to be the last thing you do at night, it doesn’t even have to be in the evening. Having sex before dinner can be great! Think of it as entrée, rather than the traditional dessert.

Is your partner falling for someone else more likely to happen in the swinging world? Not necessarily. Remember swingers can “have their cake and eat it too”.
