Sonia*, 47, has been in a relationship with Philippe* for 15 years. After the arrival of the children, their relationship needed a new impetus. So to find a second wind, Sonia and Philippe decided to turn to libertinism. An unusual decision but one that allowed their couple to reinvent themselves!

Testimonial | As a couple for 15 years, libertinism gave us a second wind.
I met Philippe when I was 32 and our story has always been one of intensity. We are the type to burn life at both ends, one as well as the other. So we loved each other very much, very quickly. Our embraces always had that certain something, an almost animal sensuality that left us bloodless. We consummated our love to the end and we made three beautiful children.

The idea of libertinism came very naturally
When the children became teenagers, Philippe and I experienced a slump. I say slack but that's not entirely it. Our love was intact, we still made love as much and our complicity made many of our couples of friends envious. I had the impression that our daily lives were simply less intense, less excited. I no longer felt this rage for everyday life. Perhaps it’s normal after a certain age after all… More than weariness, I would say that we had a visceral need for adventure!

At that moment, Philippe and I both felt that our relationship was at a turning point. That it was time to bring something more to our history. The idea of libertinism came very naturally because we have always liked to explore our sexuality thoroughly. I can't even say which of us broached the subject of libertinism first, but one thing is certain: we agreed before even discussing it!

EXCLUSIVE: Sarah found joining the swinger community without a partner 'intimidating' but soon found out single women, known as 'unicorns', are a 'hot commodity' in the lifestyle

A woman has opened up about what it's like being a "unicorn" in the swinger community after joining the sexual lifestyle while single.

After a decade without having sex, Sarah, from Toronto, Canada had become a "sexually frustrated mid-30s woman" who'd always dreamed of having a threesome. In 2019, she finally got tired of waiting for a boyfriend or husband she could experiment sexually with and decided to join the swinger community alone.

While the swinger lifestyle is traditionally considered to be made up of couples who swap partners with other couples, Sarah was surprised to find there were actually lots of other singletons like her too. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, Sarah, now 39, said: "That's kind of the old school way of looking at the swinger lifestyle. The new way is there's lots of single people in the lifestyle.

May 21, 2012— -- Swingers, like polyester leisure suits, seemed to have their heyday in the '70s. But couples who openly swap partners for a night of passionate sex with strangers, are becoming a growing trend in a sort of new sexual relationship revolution -- and those who swing say the rest of us monogamists are missing out.

"Nightline" went inside the top secret world of swingers -- as guests, not participants -- to a highly provocative masquerade party at a hotel in New York City hosted by a group called Behind Closed Doors.

Forget the notion that swingers parties are full of middle-aged folks who are bored stiff by years of marriage. Behind Closed Doors selects its members based on attractiveness and age. The younger the better, and not everyone makes the cut.

The couples said they don't find anything wrong with monogamy, but they were looking for something more exciting and raw.

"Our best sex is with each other," said Sara of Eatontown, N.J., who was at the party with her boyfriend Michael. "We have pretty amazing sex at home when we're alone. When we come here it's a physical attraction, not an emotional attraction."

Michael, a 28-year-old construction worker, and Sara, 24, who works in a doctor's office, have been in a committed relationship for more than a year but they do "full swaps," complete with intercourse, but they refuse to kiss strangers.

"Sex is more of a primal, more of an urge-based," Michael said. "The kissing is more intimate so we like to keep that for us."

National surveys suggest as many as 60 percent of marriages involve cheating. One study conducted by the University of Washington Center for the Study of Health and Risk Behaviors showed that in the last two decades, the number of unfaithful wives under the age of 30 increased by 20 percent and number of unfaithful husbands under 30 increased by 45 percent.

Yet every swinger "Nightline" spoke with said they have a cure for that. They said their relationships are more spicy, more honest and more secure because they swap partners.

"People that are of a certain degree of attractiveness are probably looking to interact and swap partners with other people that are a certain degree of attractiveness so they are a good-looking person," said Nicole Cray, a self-described swing school instructor for Behind Closed Doors. "If you're not a good-looking person, it's probably not the right party for you."

Janel and Stevens of Edgewater, N.J., are both in their 30s and have been together for nearly two years. She manages properties and Stevens is a disc jockey. When they attended Behind Closed Doors' party, they engaged in so-called "soft swapping."

"So we do not engage in penetration," she said. "It's a comfort level. We flirt, we hug, we kiss, but there's nothing much further than that."

Janel said swinging works for her and Stevens because it's something they can do together.

"Think about traditional relationships and how much cheating and lying and deceiving there is how much more disrespectful is it when you do it behind your partner's back," she said. "We're sharing something."

Swingers are part of a change that researchers have noted in younger couples' attitudes toward infidelity in recent years. Younger generations are marrying later, and come to the marriage with habits acquired over years of dating -- among them, sleeping with other partners after the initial attraction wears thin.

Sara and Michael, another couple at the Behind Closed Doors party, said they got into the swinging scene because of a Super Bowl bet they made with each other -- if the Patriots won, Sara earned a threesome with another guy, and if the Giants won, Michael got a threesome with another girl.

"Needless to say the Giants won and I had a week to come up with a girl, found a girl, had an awesome experience and ever since then, every weekend, we've been meeting other couples," Sara said. "We're not the jealous type, but we believe that 'sharing is caring.'"

It usually costs about $200 for a ticket to one of Behind Closed Doors' parties and there's an etiquette involved. Only single women or couples are allowed inside, but no men who are flying solo.

A pair of swingers have revealed the signal they give out to other couples to invite them into the bedroom. Prepare yourself for the sex-ed you never learnt in school:

Flight attendant Liv and account manager Gage may have been married to one another for 11 years, but that doesn't mean they've been monogamous for the same amount of time too.

Spicing up their relationship by inviting other people into the bedroom with them, the 30 and 31-year-old have revealed the sign they give out to other couples to let them know they're swingers.

A couple has revealed the swingers signal.
It's a sign so innocent it could very much lead to you stumbling into a 'playtime' session you had no intention of joining.

Cruise ship passenger Blogionista Travels certainly found out the hard way.

But what is the secret signal all swingers are aware of which they can subtly flash to one another if they want a raunchy rendezvous?

Prepare to never look at this pretty everyday object the same again.

Pineapples apparently aren't just innocent fruit.
The secret signal? An upside-down pineapple. Liv tells the Sun the motif has 'become big in recent years'.

She explains she wears a gold necklace with a pineapple charm on to 'discreetly' show she's a swinger.

The 30-year-old continues: "That’s usually code that they are into the lifestyle, although you have to be careful how you ask.

"But on a recent holiday in Cancun, Mexico, there was a woman in a full-on pineapple dress with pineapple shorts and a pineapple shirt, so they were obviously into it."

Liv wears a pineapple necklace to signal she's a swinger.
However, sometimes the subtle sign can prove a little too subtle and lead to awkward run-ins.


Gage notes if you see an upside-down pineapple in someone's shopping basket, it could be more accidental than a sign of a fellow swinger.

To check? Gage explains: "You can ask them, ‘Are you in the lifestyle?’ But if they look confused then you say, ‘Ignore me!’ and run.

"Another sign is a black wedding ring on your right hand."
