Variations of the Toronto Swingers Lifestyle

The swinging lifestyle is not as cut and dry as a people think. People who look at swinging from the outside simply reply on their preconceived notions about what swinging is. However, these misconceptions could not be further from the truth. It seems as though that if sex is involved people think the worst. They think that if sex is involved it must be raunchy all the time. However, this could not be further from the truth as there are a number of different variations and varying degrees of the swinger’s lifestyle.

Toronto swinger lifestyles and activities are as broad and varied as are swingers. They include:

Soft swinging


Also known as soft swap, soft swinging is doing everything with another person except sexual intercourse. Usually couples will stop at the last minute and switch back to their original partner. At this point they might choose to have sex with their own partner in front of the other couple, find a quiet place the club, or head home for a night of passionate sex.

Soft swinging is similar to flirting. You may talk to other people about having sex and you may even engage in some kissing and touching. However, you will not actually have sex. Most first time Toronto swingers engage in this activity in their first few times at the swingers club. However, for some couples, this is as far as they go. All they want is a little excitement to spark their own sexual relationship.

Open swinging


Open swinging, also known as a full swap, occurs when the couples swap and actually have sexual intercourse with another person. This often takes place with both couples in the same room or even on the same bed. Couples may also swap partners back and forth during sex.

Open swinging is also the most exploratory of the variations. It includes threesomes, orgies, exhibitionism, voyeurism and anything else in between. Therefore, open swinging is best suited for Toronto swingers that want to experience all that the lifestyle has to offer.

Closed swinging


Closed swinging is a little more intimate than the other variations. While a full swap usually occurs, sexual intercourse takes place in separate rooms. Therefore, couples separate from their partner and experience sex in an intimate location with some new. This also may take place in another location (i.e. a hotel).

Closed swinging is for Toronto swingers is for who feel the need for more freedom or don't like interruptions. This type of swing is mainly practiced by the more experienced couples, as a higher degree of trust is essential. It is not advised for couples new to the swingers club. It is best if they take small steps and explore new things little by little until they are completely comfortable with the swinger’s lifestyle.

While swinging variations can be broadly placed into the three categories above, there are many variations of the swinger’s lifestyle that fit partly in these categories. Swinging is about having fun and exploring. Therefore, it is the couple who make up the rules.
