Overall Review
Better known as SDC.com, Swingers Dating Club has been building the largest online and offline swinger community since 1996. The platform is all about welcoming every and any sexual desire and fantasy to come and play. With local groups and events to worldwide traveling adventures, there is a tantalizing activity on and off the page of SDC. For couples, singles, trans, bi, poly, and the like, it wouldn't hurt to take advantage of the free-trial SDC has to offer.
What makes SDC so loved?
- The social presence that SDC makes in every location of their users both online and offline. There are many resources to find events, groups, and gatherings for swingers local to you.
- A 7-day free trial gives you access to all of the premium membership features (with a few partial features like webcam chatrooms. You are only able to read chats during your trial period)
- Catering to 'voyeurism' is taken to a whole new level. You are able to add yourself to a sex party guest list and wait your turn to view a hot couple in action.
- Premium members are able to 'validate' other users after interacting with them in real life. It's a good feature to have if you get skeptical about profiles that look suspicious.
Signing Up On SDC(Swingers Dating Club)
The typical information to start your account is needed. Email address, a catchy username and a password. Confirm your identity and verify your account with the email address you provided. Depending on the type of account you registered with, single or couple, will have different profile setups. For couple accounts, there will be two separate spots for each member to input their preferences and attributes.
Many members suggest just going straight for the premium membership and skip the free 7-day trial. This is entirely up to you.
Profile Setup
The initial process to get your account up and running is fairly simply. You will need to take some time in order to fully complete your profile. Any photos you upload to your profile will need to go through approval by the admin before they are viewable on your page.
Filling out your profile completely includes adding information and preferences. Choices like soft or full swapping, experience, what you are comfortable doing, what you aren't into, and writing a descriptive bio.
Once you verify your account through the email you provided, you are all set up and ready to go!

Party Feature
One notable feature of SDC.com is its party function, which allows users to find nearby swinger events and interact with a friendly community of others who have similar interests. This feature provides a unique opportunity to meet like-minded people in real life, ranging from clubs and gatherings to special events for threesomes and swingers. This is one way for members to get validated and validate other members on the site.
Swingers Dating Club Drawbacks
With the SDC premium membership benefits that are just unmatched by any other platform, there are a few cons to this site. A large reason that some users hesitate to upgrade their membership is SDC's policy regarding no refunds. The platform also isn't the easiest to navigate, and the mobile app and desktop page are exactly the same. There is no 'matching' feature leaving you to search for yourself, and lastly, there is no video chat option which is a very popular feature on other swinger sites.
