Swingers — or couples who engage in sex with multiple partners — can identify all across the spectrum of sexuality. Some even identify as straight. Maybe you’re just a little poly-curious and would like to try having a threesome or switching partners with a hot couple you know. It’s up to you to decide what you’re comfortable with and how that impacts your sexual identity. You don’t have to engage in a full-blown polyamorous relationship to enjoy the swinger lifestyle and mix things up in the bedroom. It’s a myth that all swingers are bisexual, and it’s also a myth that only men are interested in polyamory and having threesomes. According to survey results published by The Advocate, 49.5% of polyamorous people identify as female, 35.4% as male, and 15.1% either decline to choose or identify as another gender (e.g. genderqueer). This question comes up a lot, and it’s definitely not cool that so many people confuse polyamory with cheating, so let’s set the record straight. Polyamorous couples give each other permission to go out one dates, explore sexual relationships, and create new connections that fulfill their desires. It’s not cheating because you have your primary partner’s blessing.
