Frequently asked
- What are story keywords on Swing?
- Story keywords are a curated set of 53 lifestyle topics — covering relationship structures, play styles, dynamics, kink, events, venues, and travel — that the Swing erotic-stories archive is automatically indexed against. Each keyword links to every reader-submitted story that mentions it.
- How are these keywords selected?
- Keywords are hand-curated rather than automatically extracted, so the list reflects the actual vocabulary the lifestyle community uses. Each entry has a list of canonical aliases (e.g. "ENM" matches "ethical non-monogamy"), and a minimum-match threshold so common everyday words only become keywords when they cross a topical-relevance bar.
- How current is the index?
- The index is rebuilt on demand from the live story archive. Counts shown reflect the most recent rebuild — the current snapshot covers 20,000+ stories.
- How do I find a story about a specific topic?
- Pick a topic chip below or jump to one of the topical themes (Lifestyle types, People & roles, Activities, Dynamics, Kink, Events, Venues, Travel). Each topic page lists every story on Swing that mentions it, grouped with category badges so you can see at a glance what kind of story it is.
