One of the best ways to meet other swingers is by going to a swinger lifestyle meet and greet. But what are they exactly, and how do you find swinger meet and greets near you? Let’s explore what a swingers meet and greet is first. Then we will learn more about them and discover how to find them.
What Is a Swingers Meet & Greet?
Just in case you are not completely sure what a swingers meet and greet is, let me quickly go over what they are, what they are meant for, and where they are usually held.
A swingers meet and greet is a gathering or party that’s purpose is for new and experienced swingers to get together and meet each other. A swingers meet and greet is normally a low-pressure event as compared to higher pressure events held at swingers clubs.
Swinger meet and greets are held at local bars, hotel pools, parks, restaurants, as well as many other locations. Some are even held on special evenings or nights at swinger clubs. You can occasionally even find swinger meet and greets held in party buses. I have even seen some that charter a bus for a trip to a sports game or vacation type spot.
Swinger meet and greets at local establishments, like bars, may reserve the entire place for a meet and greet or just an area of the bar. You will even see some that just announce meeting at a bar without having any designated area.
You’ll also find very small informal swinger meet and greets being held by lifestyle couples. These small events may only have a few couples attending.
Typical Swinger Meet & Greet Rules
Swinger meet and greet rules can vary widely, depending on the location and whether the entire place was reserved or not. Some will have dress codes, and some will not.
If the swingers meet and greet is being held at a local establishment and the entire location is not reserved, the bar, restaurant, etc. rules will apply.
Just check with the people, event promoters, or club holding the meet and greet and find out what the rules are.
One thing to keep in mind, is if the swingers meet and greet is being held at a public location, people that are not in the swinger lifestyle will most likely be there.
What to Expect at a Swingers Meet & Greet
If the meet and greet is being held at a bar or nightclub, what you will see when walking in that it is basically the same thing you would see every night at that location. Lots of people having fun, talking, flirting, etc.
The only real difference will be the people at the meet and greet will be more open minded and much easier to socialize with. Everyone at the meet and greet is there to meet other swingers.
If it’s at a bar or other local establishment, that is not completely reserved for the event, you will also see other people there that are not swingers and may not accept the lifestyle. These open to the public meet and greets may have an area designated for the meet and greet in the location. They may also have stickers, or other way for you to recognize the couples that came out to attend the swingers meet and greet.
The event host should provide you with all the information you need. If they don’t, just tell them this is your first meet and greet and ask them what you need to know.
Swinger meet and greets held at private locations and swingers clubs may have much looser rules when it comes to nudity or public affection. If you are going to a private swingers meet and greet, expect to see some nudity and possibly some sex.
Many meet and greets have dancing and ice breaker games that help everyone to meet each other. If they do, make sure you take advantage of them.
If the meet and greet is being held at a pool, expect to see a lot of skin, and be prepared to get wet.
Some swinger meet and greets will have food available. This could be just a simple snack tray, a buffet, or even a formally served dinner.
What You Should Do at a Swingers Meet & Greet
When you first arrive to a swingers meet and greet, the first thing you should do is check-in with the host, if they have one, welcoming guests. After that, take a quick trip around the place and get familiar with the location.
Now it’s time to actually go around and start introducing yourselves to the other guests. This can be the difficult part for shy people. But, keep in mind, everyone at the meet and greet is there to meet other swingers.
If the meet and greet location is open to the general public, make sure you find out how to recognize the swingers attending the meet and greet. You don’t want to walk up to a couple and start talking about swinging, and quickly find out that they are not swingers. It can get very awkward. So, make sure you know who the party guests are.
If you meet another couple that you seem to get along with, don’t be afraid to suggest trading contact information. Also find out what clubs they like to go to. You could possibly arrange to meet them there on a future date.
Swinger Meet & Greet After Parties
Some swinger meet and greets have planned after parties. These after parties are usually held at a local swingers club. If you hit it off with the guests, find out who is going to the after party. That way you can keep an eye out for them. It also makes it a lot easier for first time swinger club attendees since they know a couple or even a few couples from the meet and greet will be there.
More private after parties are held often in a couple’s hotel room. These are usually by invite only. If you attend one of these, expect to see a lot of sex and expect to participate in the sex action.
Many couples do get a hotel room close by the swinger meet and greet. If you hit it off with a couple, you can always go back to their hotel room or yours. If neither of you have a hotel room, you can chip in and get one for your own private after party.
