Soft Swap the New Sexy?
After a seven-year hiatus, my partner and I recently revisited the world of soft swap at the iconic Fun4Two swingers club in the Netherlands. What we thought might be a “warm-up” quickly became one of the hottest, most connected nights we’ve had in the lifestyle. With moans, massages, and some very sexy moments (including a literal splash of cum on the floor), we were reminded of something crucial:
Soft swap isn’t a step back. It’s a different kind of heat.
What is Soft Swap?
Soft swap is a style of non-monogamous play where couples engage in sexual activity without penetrative sex. Think oral, mutual masturbation, massages, and deep foreplay. Some define it by what they don’t do (no penetration), while others define it by what they do love: longer build-up, intentional sensuality, and the anticipation that makes your skin tingle.
But is soft swap just foreplay for the full swap crowd? Or is it a main event in its own right?
Let’s explore.
The Scene: Fun4Two, Lingerie, and a Steamy Six-Handed Massage
We were attending a “Sexpert Night” at Fun4Two — which, contrary to its intimidating name, turned out to be an approachable, no-pressure event with a slightly bolder dress code: lingerie from the moment you walk in.
The club was full of beautiful bodies, dim lights, and eager energy. And yet, instead of being overwhelmed, we made a connection with a confident couple who stood out (pro tip: boots in a sea of stilettos = standout move).
What followed? A flirtatious tour of the club, giggles, teasing, and finally a soft swap encounter full of sensual touch, breathy moans, and cheeky grins. With oil, body-on-body massage, double blowjobs, and orgasmic energy bouncing between four people, we didn’t need penetration to feel completely fulfilled.
What Makes Soft Swap So Hot?
Here’s what we (and our followers on social media) had to say:
- “Soft swap just hits different. Longer foreplay, less pressure.”
- “Sometimes soft swap is hotter — especially with the right chemistry.”
- “Sex is an adventure, not a destination.”
- “Soft swap can be the main event — not just the warm-up.”
- “Chemistry trumps category.”
In our case, it wasn’t about what we couldn’t do. It was about what we chose to do — and how present, playful, and immersed we were in the moment.

Soft Swap vs. Full Swap: Breaking the Binary
We often define play styles in black and white: full swap vs. soft swap, penetration vs. not. But what if the better question is:
What do we want tonight?
Chemistry, vibe, comfort, and curiosity should dictate how you engage in play — not labels.
In fact, when you remove the expectation of penetration, something magical happens:
- You focus more on touch and sensual exploration.
- Communication becomes even more essential.
- There’s less pressure, especially for newbies or those navigating performance anxiety.
For us, playing off-script made the whole experience feel fresh. After over a decade in the lifestyle, that’s saying something.
Lessons from the Playroom (and a Faux Pas Worth Laughing About)
Soft swap may have made the night spicy, but we also walked away with a few practical lessons:
- Carry your damn play bag. (We left ours in the locker. Rookie move.)
- Be visible. Lingerie doesn’t make you approachable; open body language and eye contact do.
- Boots make a statement. Confidence doesn’t always come in red lace.
- Shave your legs — if it matters to you. Cate forgot, and the stubble spiral was real. Hilarious. Relatable. Human.
Soft Swap, Momtok, and The Spotlight on Swinging
With recent headlines about the so-called Momtok Soft Swinging Scandal lighting up People Magazine (read here), more eyes are turning toward the nuances of non-monogamy. It’s clear: soft swap is hitting the mainstream narrative, often misunderstood but undeniably intriguing.
Whether you’re defending the definition or leaning into the delicious details, soft swap deserves its moment.
Final Thoughts: Rediscovering the Power of Play
So what happens when you shift gears from autopilot full swap to intentional soft swap?
You open yourself up to:
- New sensations
- Different dynamics
- The joy of chemistry-led exploration
We rediscovered soft swap after years of full swap being our norm, and we loved it. You might, too.
