If you are looking to meet local swingers a swinger dating site is a good place to start. Some of the most popular sites are easy to navigate and can instantly connect you to local swingers. There are plenty of sites to choose from online. Some of my favorite sites are Kasadie(http://kasidie.com), SLS(http://swinglifestyle.com), Lifestyle Lounge(http://www.lifestylelounge.com), and SDC (http://www.swingersdateclub.com). Even if you go to a local club to meet new swingers, having a profile on a swinger site will increase your network and allow you more chances for success.

These dating sites list local events and communities which allow you to connect with local swingers. A basic profile on one of these sites will allow you to tell other people about your experience level and comfort level. We don’t all swing the same way, it is important to find people that have the same “rules” or at least enjoy the same sorts of things. Most swinger sites allow you to write out your preferences so other coupes can know what you are looking for.

You may be still wondering why it would be necessary to set up a profile. How will people find you if you don’t? A lot of people are hesitant to add pictures of themselves to their profile. A really great profile will show some pictures and tell you what things this couple is looking for. Some sites allow you to edit your picture so that the face is not easily recognizable. This might be ideal for a couple that is worried about having their picture on the internet. Most sites are secure and you have to be a paying member to see the profiles of others. I tend to think if someone is on the site, they would be there for the same reasons as me. Also, a picture doesn’t have to show your face in order to attract attention.

Once you have your profile all set up, you can begin to connect with others on the site. All the sites I mentioned here have their own e-mail system that will allow you to connect directly with couples on the site. The more involved you are the greater your chance for meeting new people. All of the sites that I mentioned here post parties that are happening locally and offer you the chance to “sign up” to show others you are going. You will also be able to join communities and look at forums. The communities within the swinger site are all optional ways to connect with people.

If you are the type of person who is looking to connect with swingers in other areas, for a vacation rendezvous perhaps, a swinger site may help you find people to play with in that area. The benefits of being on a swinger dating site should outweigh the costs. A trial membership can help you decide if the site is right for you. I have found numerous parties through these types of sites and even discovered discounts to parties when I signed up. Having a profile, along with being social at local parties will increase your chances for successful swinging!
