Whether you’re a newbie stepping into the lifestyle or a seasoned swinger looking to level up, these tips will keep the good vibes flowing and the playroom rocking. Let’s dive in—straight from us to you, recorded hot and fresh on March 20, 2025!

Who We Are

If you’re new around here, welcome! The Swing Nation Podcast is our baby—created by swingers, for swingers. We’re all about shining a positive light on this wild, wonderful lifestyle, busting myths, and sharing the unfiltered truth from our own adventures. This episode is no exception—we’re spilling the tea on playroom dos and don’ts, with a few laughs and cringey stories thrown in for good measure. So, grab a drink, get comfy, and let’s talk etiquette!

The Do’s: How to Shine in the Playroom

First up, the “do’s”—the golden rules that’ll make you a playroom MVP. Here’s what we covered:

1. Ask for Consent Every Time
   You know this is our number-one rule! Whether you’re joining the fun or just watching, a quick “You cool with this?” is a must. Dan’s all about keeping it simple—consent keeps it sexy and stress-free.
2. Respect Everyone’s Space
   Playrooms can get packed, but don’t be that person crowding someone’s bubble. Lacy’s pro tip? Hang back, catch their eye, and let them wave you over. It’s flirty, not pushy—perfect vibe.
3. Bring the Party
   Good energy is contagious! Flash a smile, toss out a “You’re killing it!”—whatever keeps the room buzzing. Dan says it best: “No one’s here for a buzzkill—bring your A-game!”
4. Clean Up Your Act
   Real talk—towels are your friend. Use ‘em, toss ‘em, and keep the space fresh. Lacy’s still giggling about that one time someone left a “souvenir” behind—don’t be that guy!

These are the moves that make the lifestyle magic happen. It’s all about respect and fun, and we’ve seen it work wonders at every event.

The Don’ts: What to Skip

Now, the “don’ts”—the stuff that’ll tank your playroom cred faster than you can say “awkward.” Here’s our hit list:

1. Don’t Assume Anything
   Being in the playroom doesn’t mean it’s a free-for-all. Lacy’s pet peeve? The grabby newbie who skips the hello. Ask first—always.
2. Don’t Be a Creepy Lurker
   Watching’s cool if they’re okay with it, but hovering like a weirdo? Hard pass. Dan’s rule: keep your distance unless you’re invited closer. No one likes a shadow.
3. Don’t Crash the Party
   Timing’s everything. Busting in mid-action is a mood-killer. We say read the room—if they’re in the zone, chill ‘til there’s an opening.
4. Don’t Sweat a No
   Rejection’s part of the game, and it’s not personal. Lacy’s go-to? Smile, say “No worries,” and keep the night rolling. There’s always another dance floor.

These are the traps we’ve dodged (and, okay, maybe stumbled into once or twice ourselves). Learn from our oops moments—it’ll save you some blushes!

Our Take: Why This Stuff Matters

Recording this episode was a blast—partly because we’ve lived these lessons. From epic nights to “what were they thinking?” moments, we’ve seen how etiquette shapes the playroom. It’s not just rules—it’s about trust, connection, and keeping the lifestyle the sexy, welcoming space we love. Plus, it’s way more fun when everyone’s on the same page.

One thing we kept circling back to? Communication. In a room full of naked ambition (see what we did there?), being clear about what you want—and what you don’t—keeps it hot and hassle-free. We’ve learned that the hard way, and now you don’t have to!
