Rule 1
The Golden Rule – No means no! Everyone including yourself has the right to say regardless of whether you have a reason or not. If you or your partner feel uncomfortable, or feel like you are being pressured into something you are unsure of speak up. This also goes in reverse, if someone says no respect his or her wishes.

Rule 2
Guilt and Pressure – For swinging to be an enjoyable experience for all involved it is import to resist guilt or pressure to do things and to make sure that you don’t exert guilt or pressure on others (including your partner) to do something they are uncomfortable with.

Rule 3
Kindness – Always treat others in the swinging environment as you would want to be treated yourself. Be mindful of peoples feelings and look out for others.

Rule 4
Rejection – At some time or another people are going to feel like they are being rejected. Don’t take this personally, people know what they like or do not like, sometimes you may just not be what others are looking for.

Rule 5
Boundaries – For swinging to be enjoyable for both you and your partner you need to set boundaries. It is important to communicate with your partner before engaging in swinging so that the experience does not become a relationship breaker. Be open and honest with your partner, and encourage them to do the same, so you both know what to expect on the big day.

Rule 6
Jealousy – Jealousy is an expected human response. Find out what instigates jealousy in you and your partner so you can both set clear rules to ensure that neither you nor your partner will become jealous. By hiding your jealousy, you will only find that it will bubble up inside of you until you burst

Rule 7
Discretion – What happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors. It is ok to promote the lifestyle but by publishing, what happens behind closed doors it will impact upon the privacy of others.
