I know some couples still think of swinging as sexual activities only. In truth, swinging can be a lot more than that. There is a reason why the act of swinging is called ‘play’ — it is after all about having fun and playing with multiple partners — but it does not necessarily mean you have to focus on playing all the time. It almost every case, socializing before you actually play can help improve your swinging experiences substantially.

There is no doubt that a certain degree of socializing is necessary before you actually play with someone. It is necessary to be comfortable with each other before playing because it is absolutely a must for all parties involved to experience the same sense of comfort. Being able to socialize before you play actually give you the chance to get to know your playmates — and give them the chance to get to know you — and get into details such as playing styles or even personal hygiene. Socializing before you play will also create emotional bonds to a certain extent; it will help you achieve a more enjoyable overall experience, and it will help maintain a good relationship with that particular playmate should you want to engage them again in the future.

As you can see, socializing before you actually play with someone can help increase the pleasure of swinging altogether. You don’t need to create emotional attachments or anything like that — in fact, this can be considered wrong in swinging — but a decent understanding of each other can be beneficial. Besides, getting comfortable with your playmate is crucial, and socializing before you play can help you, your spouse, and your playmates (whether they are single or another couple), get comfortable enough with each other and plan an amazingly enjoyable play session together.
