FabSwingers is a social networking website for swingers and those seeking casual sex. Founded in 2006 [1] by a swinging couple, [2] the website has options for men, women and transgender users, and allows users to sort by location, venues, as well as individual fetishes and kinks. [1] [3] It has a companion website called Fab Guys which is aimed at gay and bisexual men. [2]
A profile on FabSwingers can represent a single person or a couple [4] and consists of age, gender and sexual orientation along with a list of interests which can include cuckoldry, dogging [3] and oral sex, among others. [1] Profiles can also be verified for authenticity when the user submits a photograph of themselves along with their username written down. [3]
FabSwingers operates on a freemium model with features including seeing higher-resolution photos and seeing other users who have looked at the logged-in profile. [3] Advertising is also removed for paying members. [4]
The user interface of the website has been criticised for being dated. [1] [3]
In March 2018, Jesse McDonald fatally stabbed Naomi Hersi, a transgender woman, following an encounter arranged on FabSwingers. He was found guilty of murder and sentenced on 1 November. [5] [6] [7]
