Swinging can help couples evolve and empower their relationship. Sharing your partner with other people, watching them engage in the sexual interaction, and letting other people please you while your partner’s watching can improve your sex life, boost your confidence, and deepen your feelings for each other.

Sadly though, swinging could be quite the opposite in some circumstances. But when is swinging a bad idea? If you find yourself in any of these situations, perhaps you should think twice before getting into this lifestyle.

When you want to fix your relationship

Threesomes, foursomes, and swinging are sometimes recommended by therapists and sex counselors to couples who have a sex life that might have lost some of its shine. Due to this, many couples believe that swinging can fix their relationship no matter what the problem or underlying issue.

If you believe it too, we’re sorry to spoil it, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Swinging has the power to accentuate the status of your relationship — good or bad. It will not fix the relationship problem unless you are suffering from boring sex. Swinging won’t fix cheating
