I'm sure that a lot of people will disagree on fine points of this somewhat tongue-in-cheek response, but in our experience: Swinging=Engaging in sexual activity with someone else with the full knowledge and consent of your spouse or significant other. Typically includes 'veto' power by your spouse or SO. Also typically, but not always, conducted as a couple. Open Relationship=Engaging in sexual activity with someone else with the consent of your spouse or significant other, but without their knowledge. Typically does Not allow your spouse or SO any knowledge of or 'veto' power over the activity. Typically, but not always, conducted individually, without the participation of your spouse or SO and without the 'veto' power seen in swinging. Cheating=Engaging in sexual activity with someone else with neither the knowledge of nor consent of your spouse or SO. The most common and accepted form of extra-relationship sexual activity. Always conducted in a clandestine manner. Serial Monogamy=Engaging in sexual activity with someone else, but in a socially acceptable manner. Involves forming a temporary 'committment', which is then dissolved and reformed with someone else, then repeated as needed. The only legally recognized manner in which a person may enjoy multiple sexual partners. The critical elements here being Knowledge, Consent, and Participation. Jnd

An open marriage/relationship is one where one or both do their own thing sexually. There can be parameters set like only on weekends or only evenings, etc...but they do not participate their partner in their other sex life...and their spouse does not usually know who their lovers are or know them. Like, one of my best friends is in an open marriage. Her husband and committed gf have never met and do not wish to meet...and she sees others at will. She lives like a "single" in that parameter. Swinging is about doing it together...but even when you play alone, your partner knows who you are with and where you are. They have a say in who you play with.
