Adult only. Private by design.
What wife swapping means

Wife swapping is an old name for two adults who agree that sex with other people can be part of a private night they choose together. The television show Wife Swap, and movies that use the phrase, are different searches. This page is the agreement, and a party a host invites.
What this search is asking
People type wife swapping when they want a definition, a movie, or a party. If the search was for the television show or a movie, keep looking. This page is the agreement between two adults, and a private night they host.
The night is for adults only. You confirm you are 18 or older before you take part in a party here. Search can find this explanation. It cannot put you in a room, because there is no public guest list.
The old phrase says wife. The yes still belongs to both adults in the couple. A plan from one partner is not a yes from the other. The same rule applies when both partners are men, or both are women, if that is the room they chose.
Both adults have to agree
Talk at home, with the lights on, before you text anyone else. Say what you want, and say what is off the table. A yes is about a person, not a list of acts. The ceiling is the lower yes in the couple.
Soft usually stops short of intercourse with someone else. Full includes it. Rooms do not share one definition, so the house rules have to say the line. There is no switch for it.
You get into a private party because a host invites you, or because you applied and that host approved you. An application does not put someone in the room until the host approves it. A yes to the invite is a yes to come. It is not a yes to anyone in the room.
Host the night yourself
If nobody has invited you, host the people you already want there. Start from the host home and pick one format before the links go out. The invite says whether the room is straight, bi-friendly, or open. A straight room is every couple one man and one woman, with no singles and no same-gender couples. A bi-friendly room allows same-gender couples and still has no singles. An open room allows singles. Open is who was invited. It is not the same as bi-friendly. That shape can change only before answers close. You answer the people you are open to.
A key party is one shared reveal. Each person says yes or no in private to one photo and one name. Your own partner is never someone you answer about. The host starts the reveal. Phones wait about ten seconds. The room sees one person, only if both people said yes. Later rounds are still one person at a time. One stronger yes can be sent in the party. If both people sent it, the reveal can say so. It is not a match by itself. If both partners needed to finish and one did not, that couple is left out of the reveal.
A play party is a yes or no to one other person, unless the invite says couples answer together. When couples answer together, the invite has to say so. The host closes the answers, checks guests in, and then opens the matches. The names do not open on their own at check-in. Each checked-in guest sees every match where both people said yes, one person at a time. Checking someone in does not open the names. The room does not get one pairing for everybody. On a play party the list of matches does not announce the stronger yes. It is not a match by itself.
A speed date stays dressed. A new party starts at five minutes a round. The host can change the length, pause a round, add time, or skip ahead. Either partner can answer until the host starts the next round. A match needs both couples to say yes. Both names show, with one couple photo, and either partner can update that photo. Breaks rotate so no couple sits out two rounds in a row. Sharing contact after a match is optional. Couples you have not met yet are view only. On an open speed date a single answers for themselves. A singles speed date is its own setting, and the invite has to say which. A private no stays private. A one-sided yes stays hidden. The street stays hidden until the host releases it.
The word swap does not assign anyone
Swapping makes people picture two couples trading partners, sometimes by drawing a name out of a bowl. That is the old story, and it is also the plot of a television show. On a night you host here, nobody is assigned. Each person says yes or no. A match exists only where both people said yes.
Wife sharing is a related agreement, and it has its own page. That page is about one partner being sexual with someone else while the other knows and agrees. This page is the older name people still type when they mean a private night for couples. The invite still has to name a key party, a play party, or a speed date. The phrase wife swapping does not pick the format for you.
Calling the night a swap does not set soft or full either. The house rules say where the line is, because rooms do not share one definition. A yes is about a person, not a menu of acts. The ceiling is still the lower yes in the couple.
Who is allowed through the door
Check-in opens on the day of the party, after answers close. Only the host checks people in. A guest cannot check themselves in. On a key party the door uses a code and a pass the host scans. Passing that door does not reveal a name.
If you were not invited, you apply only when a host has posted a link. The host approves you before you are in. Until that approval you are not on the guest list, and you do not see the street. An application is a request. It is not a seat.
Reminders use a public-safe name, or the words Your event, so the real party name stays out of the inbox. A co-host can help at the door and in the chat. A co-host cannot delete the party or remove the original host. Group chat opens when someone joins. A message to the host stays with the host and the co-hosts. Guests cannot message each other in private.
Run a test of the night before you invite friends. Walk it as a guest, including either partner. A test party does not send email, a push, or a reminder. While answers are open, partners can see each other's yes or no if the host left partner comparison on. The host can turn that off for the whole party. Nobody else sees those answers.
What belongs in the invite
Write the house rules in ordinary sentences before anyone says yes to coming. Name which rooms stay closed. Say whether phones stay in the kitchen. Say that photos of other guests are not part of the night, if that is your rule. The host writes those lines. The app does not invent them.
Say how the night ends, and how people get home. Nothing here books a ride, and nothing here sets a clock for the last song. People who are already invited can see the guest list before they arrive. They do not already know a match. Showing up early does not unlock a name.
If you use a hotel, the bill for the room is paid to the hotel. This page will not invent that bill, and it will not invent a club's price at its own door. It will not recap a television episode. Wife swapping here is the agreement you host. It is not a show, and it is not a directory of clubs.
FAQ

No. The television show and the movies are different searches. This page is the agreement between two adults, and a private party a host invites.
Does one partner decide for both?
No. A plan from one partner is not a yes from the other. The ceiling is the lower yes in the couple.
Is wife swapping the same as a full swap?
Not by itself. Soft usually stops short of intercourse with someone else. Full includes it. The house rules have to say the line. There is no switch for it.
Is this the same page as wife sharing?
No. Wife sharing is the agreement that one partner may be sexual with someone else, and that the other knows and agrees. This page is the older name, and a private night a host invites. Neither name assigns a partner.

No. A host invites them, or they apply and that host approves them. An application does not put someone in the room until the host approves it.
