Thanks to recent advances in virtual reality, adult swinging is shaking off the stigma that has plagued it for years. More and more people are doing it in public – even some folks from the lab! I’m going to be describing an approach which suggests that seeing things differently to what you’re used to can create strange and exciting feelings in your body. I’ll talk about two recent instances of swinging in public places, our plans for more widespread and varied public swinging over the next several months and the wider opportunities for sensation-oriented research that this has opened up for us as a group. I will also arrange a post-meeting swinging session for anybody who would like to experience it for themselves.
