This is a double-edged sword for the swinger lifestyle. Secret clubs and word-of-mouth protected swingers privacy but it was difficult to meet new people. The internet, on the other hand, makes finding friends easier by using a swinger site. However, you must take extra care to protect your identity.
The internet has many swinger lifestyle places. Choosing a swinger site that protects your privacy is a top priority. First, select a site with a privacy policy that clearly states how your personal information is used. Most swinger lifestyle sites let you create an anonymous member identity. Do not provide your real name or street address. Providing your city or zip code is normal and helps to locate other swingers. A secure swinger site has its own mail, chat, and instant messaging systems.
Make sure the privacy policy says they do not share your personal email address with members or share it with third parties. Flexible controls for profile visibility and member contact are also important.
You may want to block unwanted contact and instant messaging by member type such as single males, single females, couples, free members, or all members. Occasionally, you might also want to hide your profile or block a specific member. Options to turn off your mail or restrict newsletters are handy if you are taking a break. Having photos in your profile is probably the most important factor when it comes to choosing swingers for play.
However, some people need to protect their identity from the general-public, neighbors, relatives, or co-workers. Choose a swinger site that provides some type of identity protector that easily blurs facial features on your photos. Also, choose a site that has different levels of privacy to protect your photos. For example, a category for all members, a private category for members you specifically approve, and an email-only category to share your most revealing photos in the secure site mail.
