Looking for an orgy with people who are genuine and share your sexual interests? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to find a sex party in your local area but also want to stay safe and healthy? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Threesomes, partner swapping, or maybe you just need a third partner to join you and your spouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The swinger lifestyle<\/strong> isn\u2019t easy. But SwingLifeStyle can help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the very first swinger sites<\/a> aimed at bringing the swinger community together, SwingLifeStyle launched in 2001. It\u2019s kept things simple ever since, focusing on doing what it does best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s crammed with fellow members, and there\u2019s a real community feel going on \u2026 but does it work? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you land the sexy hookup you\u2019re looking for? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I've tried swinging sites myself so I know I can be of help to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my review, I\u2019m going to share with you my thoughts to help you make a better, more informed decision about whether this is the online dating website for you. I\u2019ll also give you the low-down on my own experiences and whether or not I think it\u2019s the right choice for swingers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s make a start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What's SwingLifeStyle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Swinglifestyle.com is a swing lifestyle dating site that promotes a safe environment for swingers. There\u2019s not a huge pool of active free users on here but that shouldn\u2019t discourage you from signing up. If you\u2019re on the lookout for someone who shares your sexual values (be that a couple or a singleton), and if you want an online community that promotes safer, sensible hookups, swinglifestyle.com comes recommended. It\u2019s not seedy, it\u2019s not graphic and it\u2019s not in your face. Instead, it\u2019s just a cool, easygoing place for those who want to experiment with their sex life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros & Cons of SwingLifeStyle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Swinglifestyle is among the very few legit and reputable swinger sites with a respectable user base for a niche dating site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You can find swingers clubs in your state just by clicking on a simple map feature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Most profiles are very detailed which makes it easier to talk with like-minded couples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You can get to become a part of the community by going to SLS-sponsored parties, events, cruises, clubs, and trips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The design is outdated (but it works.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • No background check of members (you've to be careful here and do the background check since swinging is very vulnerable and sensitive by its nature.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

      My Real Life SwingLifeStyle Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Okay, let\u2019s get down to what you really<\/em> want to know: Does SwingLifeStyle work?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In other words, are you going to get the \u2018hookup\u2019 you\u2019re looking for? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Yes and No. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Look, let\u2019s get one thing straight: SLS isn\u2019t like AdultFriendFinder, which is a basic hookup site that\u2019s crammed with horny men and women looking for sex tonight<\/em>. On the contrary, swinglifestyle.com is more about building proper friendships and intimate relationships – it\u2019s about really getting to know people before meeting up and taking things to the next level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For example, here\u2019s a profile that\u2019s pretty representative of a lot of people on here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The good thing about a profile like this is that the couple is active, genuine, and authentic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      See, one of the biggest problems with SwingLifeStyle is that there isn\u2019t a huge pool of choice. Ashley Madison is stuffed with profiles but SwingLifeStyle isn\u2019t. Moreover, there never seem to be a lot of people online and there are also a lot of profiles that look like this: <\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"real<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      In other words, a lot of profiles aren\u2019t filled in, which says to me the person isn\u2019t seriously interested in meeting up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      That said, there\u2019s no reason why you can\u2019t get what you\u2019re looking for with a bit of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      My own experience was good. I signed up for a month at first, filled out my profile, added some pics, and started searching the profiles. It wasn\u2019t long before I was firing off messages and receiving messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It also wasn\u2019t long before I was sharing experiences with people, getting to know them – and meeting up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I made use of the video chat feature, too, as well as the forums and blogs. I immersed myself in the whole community and made new friends along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And I got the sexual revolution experience I was looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Still, it took time and I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d keep using SwingLifeStyle for longer than a month. There\u2019s a lot of work involved, there aren\u2019t that<\/em> many free members and it does take a long time to keep sifting through the various profiles until you find someone you like the look of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Getting Started on SwingLifeStyle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      You know what? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I felt safe<\/em> signing up for this dating site. The warm colors help with that, as do the reminders that your information will remain private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It is, however, a fairly long and drawn-out signup process, and you have to answer numerous questions and fill in numerous fields. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"free<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Then, you have to wait 24 hours until they verify your profile and you\u2019re an official member.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Out of all the swinger sites I\u2019ve tried, SwingLifeStyle definitely has the toughest signup process. If it\u2019s your aim to land a date tonight<\/em>, it\u2019s not going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Are SwingLifestyle Profiles Real? <\/h3>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"Audience<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      It's a major bummer when we sign up to a swinger dating site and then discover that there is a pile of fake profiles sending us messages. It\u2019s a waste of time – and a waste of money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Fortunately, SLS has the least amount of fake users. Online dating sites like Ashley Madison have gained a bad reputation over the years for security issues and shady profiles that are there to attract new users. SwingLifeStyle, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The verification process for new profiles is extremely lengthy because the company wants everyone to have a good time here \u2026 and this means as many genuine profiles as possible. When I was eventually verified, I wasn\u2019t instantly spammed with messages to meet up with other swingers. On other dating sites that I\u2019ve tried, this was a commonality, and it suggested that the users were fake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Even better, premium members get to help out with the approval process. This means that anyone looking to join SwingLifeStyle has to undergo a thorough verification process where active members of their Swinglifestyle community check the applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      On the other hand, while I certainly didn\u2019t see many (if any) fake users, SwingLifeStyle is also a rather small website compared to bigger names like Ashley Madison. When you combine that with the fact that a lot of members are inactive, it\u2019s still not so easy to find people who are going to message you back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Moreover, if you are<\/em> concerned about fake members, it shouldn\u2019t be too hard to weed them out. Real profiles will either be lifetime premium members or, at least, paid members, and you\u2019ll be able to see who\u2019s paid, who\u2019s lifetime, and who\u2019s a free member in the search. Like this: <\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"site<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      That said, don\u2019t always assume that a free member is a fake profile. This definitely isn\u2019t the case. However, you cannot message free members anyway (or, at least, they can\u2019t read your messages). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Design & Interface Usability <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The design of the swing lifestyle website won\u2019t be to everyone\u2019s tastes. Personally? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I think it looks more like an online pharmacy than a swingers website. The colors – especially the dominant purple – won\u2019t be for all of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And it certainly doesn\u2019t look or feel very erotic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      That said, swinglifestyle.com is very much aimed at promoting a healthy and safe swinging lifestyle and the whole brand is the complete opposite of, say, AdultFriendFinder, which can look and feel a bit seedy. On swinglifestyle.com's homepage, there are no graphic photos of men or women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Instead, what images there are actually really tasteful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Like these:<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      This creates a wholesome vibe where those who are new to the swinging community can feel safe and welcome. At first, I didn\u2019t like the colors and the layout but it grew on me, and I began to understand why it looks the way it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Moreover, the design is clean and simple, and this makes the swing lifestyle easy to get used to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The signup process is lengthy – and so is the search feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As you can see from the image below, there are a lot of fields you have to fill in before you can start searching.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"profile<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
      \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s also not unusual to fill in the fields and then be met with this page: <\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      This is very<\/em> different from sites like Adult Friend Finder and even Tinder, where you can find profiles in just one or two clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Of course, the various fields are there to help you find what you\u2019re looking for. Moreover, once you\u2019ve filled them all in, you can save your search so that you don\u2019t have to fill it all in again next time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      At the same time, there might be some users who would prefer there to be more<\/em> fields to fill in. For example, they don\u2019t ask for you for your sexual preferences and interests (kinks and so on), whereas some hookup sites do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Other than that, getting used to SwingLifeStyle account takes a bit of time, but this is the case for all dating sites like this. Once you\u2019ve been using it for a few days, it will start to feel like home. <\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"suggested<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Moreover, if you don\u2019t wish to carry out searches, you can just scroll down on the homepage to see who your latest suggested matches are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Is SwingLifeStyle Free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      SLS offers both free and paid plans. There are a few things you can do for free. You can search for profiles and view them; you can use the forums and you can block swinglifestyle members. Most importantly, you can\u2019t send<\/em> messages to anyone. However, some people will be happy with just being able to post in the forums until their profile is verified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s also worth mentioning that free users have their searches limited to 50 maximum. Once my profile was verified, I took up a monthly subscription plan. This meant I got access to everything except the ability to approve new members, public images, and personal images. And in truth, I wasn\u2019t interested in doing that stuff anyway<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So, what can you do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can upload and share and enjoy nude pics; you can share private pictures, use video chats, and – importantly – you can send messages to other members. As ever with other dating sites, the free version is useless unless you\u2019re not actually planning to message or meet up with anyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      SwingLifestyle Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      SwingLifeStyle isn\u2019t as feature-rich, but for paid members, it still has a few that help to improve the user experience and enrich your time on the dating website. Apart from the unique features mentioned below, in the paid membership you can view\/upload nude photos, upload private photos, rate clubs, and approve new members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
