Swinging Terminology

Acronyms in Common Use

Since I started building swingers sites in 1997, it has become obvious that many people do not understand what a lot of the acronyms (abbreviations) used within the scene mean.

I have put together a list below - probably not a fully comprehensive one - to try and help people understand what these abbreviations mean.
