All the swinging females are bisexual or at least bi-curious
No. There are a lot of female swingers with absolutely no interest in other women. Yes. There are quite a few who are!
All swingers have bad marriages or relationships
No. On the contrary. Most swingers have a very good relationship. Actually, you have to have a pretty good relationship when you are in the lifestyle. After all, swinging is not cheating, but having sex with other people with the consent of all parties. And to be able to do so, you need to TALK! Join SDC to meet swingers in your region!
All swingers are ugly, old and/or overweight people
No. Swingers are people, and people come in all shapes and sizes. Young and old, good-looking and less good-looking. Most swingers take good care of their bodies, though. That's a fact!
All swingers love kinky sex and to push boundaries
No. There are swingers who are into kinky sex, but definitely not all. Those who are will obviously reveal that on their profile. Yes. Pushing boundaries can be one of the things they do. But still... they are THEIR boundaries.
All swingers are part of a couple
Technically and to the letter: Yes. But the answer is no. There are couples who like to have a third party to play with (unicorns), and they can also be called swingers.
