"Women Swingers" have a role that has been greatly evolving over the past 30 or 40 years in swinging. It is not only common, but often times expected that women take the assertive role in choosing "sex partners" and setting boundaries and limits. Swinging allows women and men to explore alternate sex-roles.
"Swinging" allows couples to discover fantasies and desires as a team, enabling a greater understanding of sex which in turn permits sex to take a role in the relationship uninhibited by the usual ties to monogamy, gender roles and other boundaries assumed by couples.
"Swinging" can be defined as freely engaging in social and sexual intercourse with someone other than your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, excluding dating. Many people call it recreational or social sex. "Swinging" may occur at a swing party, a foursome between two couples, a discreet rendezvous, or between a couple and single for a threesome. Although many single men and women are involved, the majority of active swingers are couples.
