Bed for Four (Five, Six...): A European Guide to the Swinging Lifestyle

Bed for Four (five, six...) is not a book that tries to persuade anyone to become a swinger. It is an open, practical and unembarrassed guide to a world that is often discussed but rarely understood. Adriana Velori takes readers from the first conversations between partners - trust, jealousy, boundaries and consent - through club etiquette, online dating and privacy, all the way to lifestyle travel and some of Europe's best-known destinations. What is a first visit to a swingers' club really like? What do soft swap, full swap and couples only mean? How do you protect your privacy? How do you meet another couple without awkward situations? Where can you find the most interesting lifestyle scenes in Europe, and what roles do Istria, the Adriatic and the Balkans play? Without moralising or sensationalism, Bed for Four explores consent, communication, safety, relationships, travel and the culture of the modern swinging lifestyle. It is written for adult readers who are curious, considering a first step, or already familiar with the lifestyle and looking for new places and experiences.
