We all want to have fun with the people we meet and the best way to achieve this is by adhering to good old-fashioned manners. Here are some swinger etiquette rules to live by to be sure you have the best time possible and that you’ll be invited to the next party:
Always arrive at the party on time. Being punctual is more important at swinger parties than at most other social gatherings. If you are running behind, call and let the host know that you will be late so they can go ahead and start the party while waiting for you.
Arrive at and leave the party as a couple. Unless prior arrangements have been made with the host beforehand, arrive and leave the party as a couple. It is frowned upon by most hosts and other swingers at the party to leave his/her partner at the party as a single.
Follow parking instructions. The hosts know what they need to do to stay on good terms with surrounding neighbors, and this includes making parking arrangements. Wrongful parking and blocking traffic is not only illegal, but a good way to set the neighbors off and dissolve any good terms they previously had with the hosts.
Do not bring valuables. Always keep money, jewelry, and other valuables to a minimum.
Come clean and fresh. Take a shower, brush your teeth, shave, clip and clean your fingernails, and take care of any other personal hygiene items that need to be done. If you turn up a mess, it is not likely that you will be invited to the next party.
Follow the host’s rules. Rules are meant for each and everyone at the party to follow to unsure that everyone will have a great time.
Don’t be a bedroom “cruiser”. If you need to open a door to see if there is a bed available for you to use, do it quietly. Do not disturb the swinging enjoyment of others by talking loudly, entering another activity without an invitation, or watching without consent. These actions are considered rude and offensive. Pulling back curtains, turning lights on, and going into private swing areas to see if you can get involved are major breaches of swinging etiquette.
Never bring illegal drugs and or substances. This is not only violating a basic rule of swinging etiquette, but you will subject yourself, other guests, and the hosts to prosecution for possession of illegal drugs.
Drink alcohol wisely. If a party is BYOB (bring your own booze), only consume what you bring. Only drink as much as your body can handle. Nothing is more disgusting than having to clean up the mess if you drink too much. It’s also very embarrassing if you can’t perform when sex is called for!
Do not eat, drink, or smoke in any non-designated area. This will not only affect others at the party, but it will also create a mess and more importantly, a fire hazard. This is one of the most violated rules of swinging etiquette, and one of the most likely to make you an unwelcome guest.
Do not take pictures. Taking pictures at a party can arouse strong opinions and feelings, so make sure you have specific approval from each guest before you point your camera, or else your Kodak moment might become a catastrophe.
Do not gossip. Do not to talk about anyone who is not present at the party. If you are discussing an experience that you were displeased with, do not talk about those who were involved in a depreciating manner. This will only cause those listening to wonder what you say about them when they’re not around.
Do not overstay your welcome. Younger guests, especially those without children, have a tendency to hang around until dawn. Even though your hosts have gone through a lot of trouble to show you a great time, they may not always be complimented by your staying all night. If over half of the guests have left the party and you have not been specifically invited to stay longer, take that as a hint and leave.
