5 Ways to Help Keep Your Identity Private on Swinger Dating Sites

You can meet so many exciting and sexually adventurous people on swinger dating websites, but there are plenty of reasons why you might want to keep your identity private when using them. Whatever your reasons, we’ve explored plenty of swinging sites, so here are our top tips to help protect your identity when using swinger dating websites…

1: Don’t post personal information to your public profile

Your public profile is… public! This means any member can see what you’ve posted, so be aware of how much information you’re putting online. Some sites will offer extra security options, whereby your information won’t be revealed without your consent, but it’s basically wise to avoid posting your name or any other details which might reveal who you are. Once you get to know someone more personally, you may wish to reveal this information, but it’s completely understandable that a lot of members don’t want their private details made public.

2: Private photo collections

Obviously, even if you don’t post your name and address on your profile, you might still be recognized because of your photos. Chances are, you’ll only be found by people who are also swingers (why else would they be on the site?) but there may be certain things you don’t want everyone to see. Check whether your swingers dating site offers private photo collection options. If so, you can build entire albums of photos which other members cannot see, until they request your permission to see them. This is great if you want to upload snaps to attract attention, but want to wait to reveal your identity or more intimate photos.

3: Invisible profiles / browsing

You can sometimes become a member of a dating website, but browse without other members realising it. This essentially means you’re like The Invisible Man, and you can explore profiles without other members being able to view yours. Once you’ve found members you want to chat to, you can get in touch and they can see your profile, but otherwise you’ll be hidden from view.

4: Don’t hand out private details in chats

Sadly, some people will try to take advantage of members by requesting their personal details. This might be a genuine desire to know more about you, but it can also be a means of gaining your personal information, potentially to access your bank details or steal your identity. Swinger dating sites will offer information on how to stay safe online, and you can also report misbehaviours, but we advise a little caution when answering questions in private chats, particularly if you don’t know the member very well.

5: Code names

There’s always the option of living a secret life online, using an alias to hide your real identity. Once you get to know someone well enough, you may want to tell them the truth before you actually meet – or not, it’s up to you. Either way, using a code name or screen name is a good way of withholding your true identity until you’re ready to reveal it.

The lowdown…

Meeting other swingers online is an exciting (and hopefully erotic) adventure, but it’s important that you’re comfortable with how much information you put online. If you’d rather your identity remained a secret online, you can use an alias, hide your face on photos, create private collections and browse anonymously. If in doubt, check a site’s privacy settings and advice.
