What does Open Relationship mean?
An open relationship is an arrangement where partners agree they may pursue sexual or romantic connections outside the primary partnership — broader than swinging, more structure-agnostic than polyamory.
An open relationship is a general term covering many non-monogamous arrangements. Unlike the Lifestyle, which is often couple-anchored and event-oriented, or polyamory, which often emphasizes romantic relationships, an open relationship is defined by the agreement its participants actually make.
The term's flexibility means partners can carry different assumptions about what is allowed. Clear discussion of emotional boundaries, safer-sex practices, disclosure, time, and the right to pause matters more than the label.
JoinTheSwing does not require one relationship label. Identity review and Message-request controls can add context to an introduction, but they cannot verify a couple's private agreement or guarantee consent and conduct.
Find your people, at your pace.
New member registration, when available, will be on the website and in the native apps; digital membership purchases take place in the native apps via StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing. Existing members can continue using the website. At launch, member identity verification will run through an automated government ID, biometric face-match and liveness check by Veriff: from the current Veriff check JoinTheSwing never receives or stores the images — we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in our private verification-document storage, deleted when the account is deleted. The free launch list does not create an account, start a subscription or charge a card.
