Is there a good free couples dating website for swinging?

One thing I notice: a bad week is a bad week, not evidence about the platform — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms. Is there a good free couples dating website for swinging? Hoping for first-hand accounts — ideally from people in smaller cities.

Great thread. From what I have seen, comparing your results to anyone else's is a losing game — i would not have believed it a year ago. I've been using Luvdate and it's been solid compared to the others I've tried. what Turndate does

Having tried a few, a month is about the minimum before judging any platform — that is roughly where I landed after a lot of trial and error. Having tried a few, consistency matters more than intensity here — your mileage may well differ. Also worth mentioningturndate.site — it's been discussed positively in a few other communities I'm in.
