Soft swap
A form of partner exchange limited to kissing, touching or oral — without full intercourse.
Soft swap is one of the most common starting points for couples exploring the lifestyle. It refers to consensual sexual contact between partners of different couples that stops short of penetrative intercourse. Boundaries are agreed in advance and can vary widely.
Frequently asked
Is soft swap the same as full swap?
No. Full swap involves penetrative sex; soft swap explicitly does not.
Do couples usually start with soft swap?
Often yes. Many couples use soft swap as a low-pressure first step before deciding whether to escalate.
