Woman who went to one of UK’s biggest swingers festivals reveals what really happens there

It's that exciting time of year again where swingers start to count down on their calendars and prep for the biggest few days of the year.

Don't worry, it's not Christmas yet - but there will be plenty of folks sitting on another man's lap and telling them what they want at Britain's biggest swingers festival.

The lifestyle, as it is sometimes referred as, has become increasingly popular in recent years as people apparently grow bored of monogamy and open up their relationship to others.

While some folks prefer to be a cuck or a hot-wife, and some even take their swinging to television, others head to luxurious Lincolnshire for the a spring sex festival.

These events are certainly social, much like the spicy cruises and resorts that are also growing rapidly, and not everything that happens there involves getting down and dirty.

The Sun's 'Sexpert' Georgie Culley recently visited the festival for the third time and she's revealed what actually goes on behind the scenes, suggesting that it isn't the sex with random strangers that the couples enjoy the most.

She said: "People presume that if you’re a swinger, having nookie with a sexy stranger is the most exciting part – but they’re wrong. Every swinger I’ve met tells me how the ‘best sex’ is actually when they reunite with their other half for the first time after sleeping with someone else.

"This belief is SO widespread among the community that they’ve actually coined a phrase for it – ‘reclaim sex’. For many couples, hearing what their partner got up to with someone else is a HUGE turn on."

While a woman who attended last year's festival was waxing lyrical about the various sex areas and the bits that were on show throughout, Culley stressed more about the rules and relationships that people form with other swingers.

Not everything has to be sexual, as she suggests that people will regularly go to the pub or out for meals with people that they swing with, while swingers are also more likely to practise safe sex than someone who sleeps with a stranger on a night out, for example.

Culley writes: "Contrary to common belief, the lifestyle isn’t just about sex. A lot of these events are very social and there are times when you actually forget you’re at a swinging party – and then turn to the side and spot a group disappearing into a playroom."

So, if you're desperate for someone to go to the pub with and you don't know where to find a friend, maybe this swingers festival is a good place to start?

If you are genuinely considering it, then fear not - here are six reasons why the lifestyle might be the best thing for you and your partner.
