Is jealousy normal in the swinging lifestyle?
Yes. Jealousy can happen, but healthy couples address it openly and use it as a communication tool rather than ignoring it.
Is swinging only about sex?
No. Many couples describe it as a social community built on trust, respect, and shared experiences that go beyond physical intimacy.
