27 May Swinger Survey Results
It’s important to know what to expect when getting involved in swinging and who to expect. Reading swinger survey results from the swinging community is a great way to really see what kind of people are in the swinging lifestyle.
Swinger Survey Results
Here are some interesting swinging statistics from a survey done. It goes through age, relationships, gender, sexual orientation, and many more. This is just a snapshot of some of the results. To see the full results click here.
Age
The age group most represented in the survey is 40-49 year-olds (33.6%). Bracketing that group, people aged 30 to 39 make up 26.8%, and those 50 to 59 comprise 21.8% of respondents. Younger swingers (people under 30) accounted for 11.5% of our survey takers. People aged 60 & up were 6.3% of the total. We can’t know if this survey accurately sampled the lifestyle’s actual age distribution since there isn’t a reliable census for this community, which tends to stay largely underground due to the stigma associated with non-monogamy.
In-Person vs. Virtual Swingers
Our 2020 survey asked about how long people thought about swinging before their first experience. With COVID & the explosion of virtual swinging, we wanted to look at how many self-identified swingers have had in-person experiences. More than 15% of survey takers are part of the lifestyle community but have not done any in-person swinging.
Relationship Types
It’s not as easy as you might expect to group swingers in precise relationship buckets. Again, we see that most swingers are in loving & committed relationships. Many of the survey takers included comments about how they are married but with an asterisk for an open relationship, or special friends with benefits, or in a grey area that might be more polyamory. We are happy to see people figuring out what works best for them, even if it might not be simple or traditional.
Sexual Orientation
We used a modified Kinsey scale to ask about respondents’ sexual orientation. The inclusion of additional options helped uncover a more diverse landscape than shown in our previous survey, which had 57.6% selecting straight as their orientation. In the current data, 39.9% of survey takers identify as straight. This shift is likely due to a somewhat younger population sample as younger people consistently indicate more openness to bisexual exploration. Even with some generational attitude shifts, men are still much less likely to identify as bicurious or bisexual than women (45.6% vs. 86.4%).
