Swinger explains impact controversial lifestyle has on her children
A swinger has revealed if she thinks her alternative lifestyle will have an effect on her children.
Olivia, 32, best known by her online moniker 'VistaWife', has made a name for herself on social media by making content around swinging.
The lifestyle seems to be gaining notoriety, with more couples becoming enticed by the prospect of 'playing' with other people, and the likes of swinger holiday resorts and spicy cruises have become more common.
Together with her 'VistaHusband', Gage, 34, Olivia has built a following online through their videos explaining swingers' terms and sharing aspects of their own lives.

In the past, she's touched on terms such as 'wife snatching' and a 'unicorn' in the lifestyle, while also admitting that there are some 'really strange' effects when it comes to sleeping with other people while being married.
Speaking to LADbible, the 'VistaWife' spoke about a range of topics, from establishing boundaries in swinging to what her children think of the lifestyle.
The Lincoln-based couple have been polyamorous for eight years, originally starting out to 'purely play with single females', though that has now completely changed, with the couple even playing with other people individually.
Olivia admitted that she didn't want her partner to play separately as she didn't 'find it hot' at the time, but added that boundaries can change over time, saying: "At the start of this year, I was like, 'I think I want to sit and watch and be more like a cuck queen'," after her husband was the one who wanted to watch her play with others.
Naturally, you may wonder about jealousy and whether it affects their relationship, but the content creator said that it's key to address the issue when it arises: "We always make sure if there's something coming up or we've got something planned in the swing lifestyle, we've always prioritised us beforehand, so the jealousy doesn't set in."
The Brit also mentioned that she has two children who have grown up with their parents in the lifestyle, and attempted to explain how it affects them.
Olivia explained: "I think we always say that we raise our family in a really sexually positive environment, we talk about things that are age-appropriate."
She noted that each generation's view on sex is different, with things more forward-thinking than ever, adding: "If they've got any concerns that's age appropriate, then we'll talk about it and it's a very open and honest communication.
"I've got a teenager and we'll talk about sex, protection, porn, and the realities, so I think having those conversations with your children is really healthy."
Olivia and Gage have also launched a swinger-specific business off of the success of their social media presence, called SwingHub.
It allows people who want to get into the lifestyle to connect with other like-minded individuals or couples, providing a safe space to do so.
Speaking on its success, Olivia explained: "We launched SwingHub two years ago, and me and Gage haven't taken a penny from it because we want to make it a successful business - it is still a startup business and we want it to be successful and be bought by the big boys eventually, like match.com."
So where does their income come from? Well, according to the VistaWife, it's OnlyFans.
"Our OnlyFans pays for our house and our basic necessities, realistically, and we wouldn't stop doing OnlyFans, because we enjoy that as well.
"But for SwingHub, whatever we make from SwingHub would just go back into the development and building new products and building safe safety features, and that is our ultimate priority."
With an increasing number of people joining the polyamorous community, you'd think some celebrities would wander into the space, and you'd be right.
Olivia admitted: "I think we've had a few. I think the problem is like I do get a lot of DMs through my Vista account from people wanting to explore but wanting to find more events that sign NDAs and things like that."
She went on: "I feel sorry for people who feel like they can't be their true self and want to explore these things without being judged, but it's due to sponsorships, contracts, or a fear of losing that because they're not family-focused or anything like that."
