A group of swingers have revealed salacious details about their taboo lifestyles as part of a program that aims to debunk myths and misconceptions around fringe groups in society.
The program – which is titled ‘You Can’t Ask That’ and airs on ABC – brings together a number of individuals from particular subcultures, before presenting them with a series of what would normally be considered socially unacceptable questions.
‘What was it like losing your swinging virginity?’; ‘How did you talk your partner into this?’; and ‘Have you learned any good tricks?’ were just a few of the shocking things that the swingers were asked during Wednesday night’s episode.
And the participants bared all in their candid, shameless responses.

‘I was only 18 when I met [husband] Andrew: he was pretty much one of my first sexual partners,’ said Sally, from Melbourne, as she recalls the line of thinking that led her to adopting the swinging lifestyle.
Sally explained that ‘As the wedding date slowly crept up on us, I sort of felt the pressure of “I haven’t had any other sexual experiences, I haven’t played with anyone else” – and said it was a co-worker who suggested a less monogamous approach.
Now, she and Andrew regularly participate in consensual sex with multiple partners at once, citing ‘jelly wrestling’, ‘Getting naked in front of a lot of people’ and ‘the raw lust of it’ as aspects that they find particularly appealing.
Other interviewees, meanwhile, were more than happy to address what might seem like the slightly less appealing aspects of swinging.
‘I enjoy watching Lawrence have pleasure,’ said Jess, from Sydney, in response to a question regarding how she handles seeing her romantic partner have sex with another person.
‘I’m not going to say I don’t get jealous, especially in the early days… because, you know, I compared myself to that girl and I was like, “How did she do that?”
‘[But] I think just being able to communicate that with Lawrence has taught me… I don’t have to be jealous. I can just appreciate and love him and love her for what they’re doing. And do it better sometimes.’

Wolf, from Casino in northern New South Wales, was similarly enthusiastic about being a spectator.
The goatee-sporting, fedora-wearing swinger told his partner Kat that ‘The first time I looked at you with someone else I’m like “That’s sort of floating my boat… that sort of turns me on”.’
‘Like live porn’ is how Megan from Brisbane described it.
Megan, a single female, is known as a ‘unicorn’ in the swinging community – and, earlier in the interview, referred to her sexual proclivities and engagements as a ‘learning experience.’
She wasn’t the only one to take stock of the educational benefits.
Each of the participants shed light on the various tips, tricks and positions that they’ve picked up throughout their careers as swingers.
Those included the ability to ‘squirt’ and positions known as the ‘Texas oil rig’ and ‘blind unicorn’.

Beyond the physical acrobatics, several of the participants also reflected on how they’ve learnt to become better, more generous sexual partners (pictured: Megan from Brisbane)

‘The first thing you need to do if you want to make life better in the bedroom for you and your wife is pay her more attention,’ said Mr D, from rural Western Australia.
‘Ask her what she wants, and do what she wants, even if you’re not really that interested in it… trust her, let her do it.
‘What’s the worst thing that can happen, you know? It could be fun.’
When it comes to swinging, it seems, mutual respect and satisfaction is key.
‘It’s actually very beautiful and very empowering as a woman to go into this environment where consent is so crucial and so valued,’ said Sally.
According to Wolf’s partner Kat, it also provides an environment for people from all walks of life to explore their various kinks and, above all, to enjoy themselves.
‘[Swinging’s] just fun,’ she said. ‘It’s like going to an amusement park.’
