Subtle Signs of Swinger Couples in Maine You Didn’t Know

Listen, we’re not here to judge or be nosey about what anyone else is doing here in Maine, but these are generally the signs.

When we say we’re not here to judge, we mean it—Maine offers plenty of reasons why someone might choose this lifestyle, even if we’re not going to list them out.

That said, just so we’re all on the same page, we should probably define what a swinger couple is—for those who might not know.

We’ll be careful with what we say and how we choose our words to describe this—according to Merriam-Webster, a ‘swinger’ could refer to someone who’s lively, exciting, and fashionable, or it could mean individuals or couples who are open to nontraditional relationship dynamics. That distinction is entirely up to you and how you interpret it.

Given all that, this might feel a bit personal, right? So how do we even know what signs swinger couples are subtly putting out there to suggest that this is the case?

To find this list of potential signs, we checked out a New York Post article titled ‘How to Know if Your Neighbor is a Swinger.’ That said, just because someone shows one or more of the signs mentioned doesn’t necessarily mean they’re actually a swinger—they could be doing these things without even knowing what any of it implies.
