swinger
Key party participant
A swinger is someone who swings—on a playground, at a ball, or through life with carefree energy.
The word took on specific meaning in the 1960s for people who engage in partner-swapping or group sex, typically married couples who have sex with other couples by mutual arrangement: They met other swingers at the club.
A swinger can also simply mean someone fashionable or uninhibited.
