The definition of swinger
The definition of swinger can be long and descriptive like in Wikipedia or short and sweet like Merriam Webster.
Merriam Webster describes swinger as follows:
Swinger : one that swings: as a: a person who is lively, exciting, and up-to-date b: one who engages freely in sex
When you type in the word swinger on
Wikipedia it brings you to swinging.
Here is what
Wikipedia has to say about swinging.
Swinging, sometimes referred to as the
swinging lifestyle, is "non-monogamous sexual activity, treated much like any other social activity, that can be experienced as a couple."
[1] The phenomenon (or at least its wider discussion and practice) may be seen as part of the
sexual revolution of recent decades, which occurred after the upsurge in sexual activity made possible by the prevalence of
safer sex practices during the same period. Swinging has been called
wife swapping in the past, but this term has been criticized as
androcentric and inaccurately describing the full range of sexual activities in which swingers may take part.
As a swinger, I describe it as sexual freedom.
