Is there a difference between a polyamorous married couple and a swingers couple? Not seeing it.

There’s probably a distinction to be made, but for most (including me) it isn’t worth the trouble.

Here’s a reply to your question by an “AI” site:

The primary difference between a polyamorous married couple and a swingers couple lies in the nature of their relationships with others and the emphasis of their interactions.

1. **Polyamorous Married Couple:**
- **Nature of Relationships:** Polyamorous couples engage in multiple romantic and often emotional relationships with the consent of all parties involved. These relationships can be deep and long-term, involving emotional bonding and sometimes even shared responsibilities or cohabitation.
- **Focus:** The emphasis in polyamory is on forming meaningful, loving connections with multiple partners. These relationships are often considered significant and involve emotional intimacy, not just physical.

2. **Swingers Couple:**
- **Nature of Relationships:** Swingers primarily engage in sexual activities with other people, usually together or with each other’s knowledge and consent, but without forming deep emotional or romantic connections. These encounters are often one-time or occasional and are typically centered around sexual exploration and pleasure.
- **Focus:** The focus in swinging is on consensual sexual experiences with others, not on forming long-term romantic relationships or emotional bonds.

In summary, while both polyamorous and swingers couples practice consensual non-monogamy, polyamory is centered on multiple romantic relationships, whereas swinging is focused on sexual experiences with others without developing romantic connections.

“ Is there a difference between a polyamorous married couple and a swingers couple?”

Yes. A true poly couple will be exclusive with the third person and the third person will be exclusive with them. They’re also known as triads or throuples.

Swinger couples have multiple partners, single men or women or other couples.

Don’t ask me how I know.
