Testing the waters with your partner? 💧 Nervous about swinging, but wanna see what it’s all about? 🙋

Read on to learn more about soft swapping – your ticket to the saucy swinger lifestyle. 🙌👇

What is a soft swap? 🔀

When it comes to swinging, a swap involves couples playing with other couples. Everyone has their own limits (which we’ll get into later), but a soft swap tends to mean penetration is off the table. 🙅

Soft swapping is a lot less pressure for couples that are new to the lifestyle. With your partner there with you, you know there’s someone you can trust – and you know there’s someone you can get off with. 😜 Anything you do with someone else is a bonus. 🌟😉

Unsure about how you’ll react to seeing your partner (or yourself!) with someone else? 😬 You can always start gently – a sensual massage, a slow dance, a naked dip in the pool or the hot tub… 🛁 You know what they say about bubbles in a jacuzzi: they hide a multitude of sins, and suggest a multitude of others… 🫧😏

So… What can you do in a soft swap? 🫦

Kissing, making out, using your hands to explore each other’s bodies, fingering, hand jobs, oral sex, rimming… All of these could be on the cards for your soft swap. 👅😝 Penetration tends to be off-limits, but some couples will allow anal sex (but not vaginal) in a soft swap. 🍑 It’s all about what you’re comfortable with. 🤗

💡 Soft Swap Tip: Calling it a ‘no sex’ swap isn’t super helpful – we all have different definitions of what we mean when we say sex, for a lot of us that includes oral and hand stuff anyway. 🤷

Remember the power of allllll the senses – especially the visual. 😍🤤 Fucking your partner with another couple watching can be such a turn-on. Or sit back and watch the show!🔥 Take it in turns to watch each other, or lay down on adjacent beds so you can watch and fuck – at the same time! 🤯

Soft swaps are a good time to experiment with something you haven’t tried yet. 😲 Touch things you haven’t touched before, taste things you haven’t tasted before – safe in the knowledge that your trusted partner is there alongside you. 🤝

Let’s talk through an example of what a soft swap might look like… 👉

Let’s talk through it together 😋

It’s all about communication. Make sure you have conversations about boundaries before you jump into a swap. 🖐️

What is everyone comfortable with? 🤔 What are your hard and soft limits? As a reminder, a hard limit is something that’s absolutely off the table, and a soft limit is something you’re cautious around, but willing to experiment with. 🚦

If you realize partway through the sesh that you’re uncomfortable with something you’d previously agreed to, it’s still okay to pull back. Remember the golden rule of consent: you can stop at any time, for any reason. 👌

Communication doesn’t stop when you’ve finished fucking, either – talk it through with your partner afterwards. What did you like? Do you wanna do this again? What can we add or adjust to make it even better. 😈

If you’ve had a red-hot time, debriefing together will be such a turn-on. 🥵

Bring up your soft swap next time you’re getting down and dirty one-on-one and see if your partner likes it. 😜 Remembering that tantalizing time you shared together will add another dimension of pleasure to your sex life. 😩

“Hey baby, maybe we’re ready to kick it up a gear…” 🏍️🔥😏
