Do swingers use protection?
Standard practice in the lifestyle is to use condoms for any penetrative sex with non-primary partners. Many active couples also test for STIs every 3-6 months, and "DDF" (drug and disease free) is a common self-reported claim on profiles. On-premise clubs typically provide condoms in playrooms. Some long-term play partnerships move to "fluid bonding" — unprotected sex within a closed group — but only after established trust and shared testing.
