As more persons want to try swinging, new apps appear and they try to fulfill that need. Unfortunately, not every swingers app does what it promises. This happens, mostly, because not all users are real swingers and, in some apps, may even be scammers with bad intentions.
That is why you should understand the risks and take some precautions when using such apps.Unfortunately, like most other non-monogamous, swinging is frowned upon by society and because of this reason the openminded persons, that practice it, need to use tools like apps, websites, and clubs that facilitate the process of meeting between swingers or other peoples with particular sexual preferences. From all the options, apps offer the biggest convenience.
Risks of using a swingers app
Before you start using such an app you must understand the fact that there are risks involved with the use of such an app and you expose yourself to them. You should know at least some of them and make sure to take precautions against them.
1. Scammers. There are a lot of people on these apps that try to get close to others with the goal of obtaining some compromising photos. If they succeed, they will try to blackmail you by using them. The best precaution you can take against such criminals is to never reveal any photos that could be used against you. If you are comfortable with the thought of your photos being online, seen by thousands or millions of people then, by all means, send them to whoever asks for them. This is not the only tactic that is used, their methods are diverse, so you should be cautious whenever you feel something it’s not right.
2. Many lookers. There are many people that don’t use the app for the purpose that it was intended for. They are there because they only want to look around. The reasons they have when doing that differ from one another. For example, many of those users utilize the app to check if their partners have profiles on the app without their approval. Another big chunk of this type represents users that are bored and, to fill their time, they just search around to see if they can find someone familiar.
3. The number of swingers is still low. Even though a swingers app is made to help them, not many use such apps because most of them do not want to assume the risk associated with them. That is why there’s the risk you won’t find what you are looking for.
So, before you use such apps, make sure you take some precautions. There are other choices for swingers and they are much safer. Because of that, the number of real swingers that use them is big enough for you to find exactly what you’re looking for. A good example is the swinger websites. Because most of them ask for a payment, although the amount it’s quite low, the number of scammers and uninterested people is almost zero.
Even with the downsides present, an app can still be useful for those that want to try something new or those that don’t have time to go to places like a swingers club. There are two things you should keep in mind if you want to have a good experience when interacting with real swingers .
1. Boundaries. Even if those that use such apps are more openminded, that doesn’t mean that they will do anything and this includes you. If you are uncomfortable doing some things then tell them to your potential partners. You want to have a fun experience, not to force yourself to do things that you don’t enjoy. The same applies to them. It is in your best interest to ask if they are ok with doing some things because you don’t want to force your sexual preferences onto them.
2. Compliments. Even though a person that uses the app has a certain goal in mind that doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy honest compliments. It’s the best method that will assure you that your partners will be more comfortable and have a good time.
Only you can decide to take the risks and use a swingers app or not. But keep in mind that you have other options where you can find real swingers. Even if some websites may cost a slight amount of money, they offer much higher security. You also have the option to search online for swingers clubs.
