Living the Swinky Life with Dating Kinky

Announcing Our New Partnership with Dating Kinky

As we have said here earlier, Covid was a challenging time for us, and one of the things we focused on during that time was making connections within the community. We also have other projects we are involved with, including some podcasts, and we put a lot of time and energy into growing those. Those seeds are now coming to fruition, and from the podcast have come many new connections, which ultimately have led us to this point.

A Chance Meeting

In late 2020, Myrina and Tristan (aka the Accidental Swingers) attended an online webinar presented by Nookie and Dating Kinky. During the course of the event, it came to light who they were, and that sparked a conversation that quickly led to “We should talk later”, which of course everyone was happy to do.

Common Interests

In that conversation, it became obvious in a hurry that we all share some very common interests. Specifically, an interest in helping Swingers and Kinksters understand that there is no good reason for the two groups to avoid each other, or think poorly of each other. Quite the contrary, they have every imaginable reason to in fact play together, to get to know each other so that they can understand what real true differences exist (and they do). Then, FAR more importantly, understand WHY those differences exist, and how we can understand and honor them, and use them to compliment the complexity our relationships can have.

Good Timing

And as it turns out, while all of this was happening, the fine people at Dating Kinky were already well underway with plans of their own to launch a new online social platform, which is frankly, awesome. And while they already have many other partners who will be using that space for social and educational purposes, we were honored when we were invited to join their team and present on their platform. While they have many awesome people on their team already, the immediate resonance between their vision and ours made us all agree quickly that we should work together and leverage our individual talents.

Good Timing… Again!

But then things got even better. In the midst of our planning, the possibility of a vaccine emerged. Now, as I write this, all of us at Swinky Life are two weeks post second shot. This is amazing news for Swinky Life, as our main intention still is do to small, personal, hands on workshops at conferences, events, and for private groups. The ability to go out into the world and play again is our life blood, and we are totally thrilled to feel that blood flow at the same moment as we begin our adventure with Dating Kinky.

And So it Starts

And so, this week, we begin our Dating Kinky adventures! We could not be more excited, and for so many reasons. Our initial conversation will be a very light, open conversation about us, our history, and why all this matters to us. We hope to ask for input from our guests to help shape our future episodes, so if you have any ideas, please show up.

In the end, the vision of both Swinky Life and Dating Kinky is to balance, in a way that is just right for each individual, the perfect blend of swinging and kink. It sounds simple until you scratch the surface… and then immediately, it becomes complex, and rich, and deep. If there is one thing swingers and kinksters should both agree on instantly, it is this… complex, deep, rich relationships are our wheelhouse. And if that statement struck a chord inside of you… then you should join us.
