FFM, MMF, MFM, FMF…What’s The Difference in Swinging?

There tend to be quite a number of acronyms tossed around in the swinging lifestyle…ones that often confuse both novices and experienced swingers. Four such acronyms include: MMF, FFM, MFM and FMF.

This isn’t surprising because most three letter acronyms seen in lifestyle ads are specific to a ‘type’ of partner being sought or one specifying their body type. MMF, FFM, MFM and FMF however, refer to gender preferences concerning a specific type of threesome. So, what’s the difference between the four? Here’s the lowdown.

MMF and FFM in the Swinging Lifestyle

MMF means ‘male, male, female’ and FFM means ‘female, female, male.’ These types of threesomes involve intimate engagement between the two same sex parties in the group in addition to the third participant. Hence, MMF would be two men getting it on with a female, while also tending to one another.

The same is true for FFM—two females sharing one man while being intimate with each other, too. These types of threesomes are popular with bisexual swingers and those seeking to expand their boundaries or double their fun in playtime. North Dakota Swingers

These terms are the most common types of threesomes. MFM being two males and a female together, and MFM is often referred to as a “Devil’s Threesome.” FMF is often called ‘the good kind’ of threesome, being two females and a male.

In these situations, there is generally no homosexual contact between the two parties of the same sex. However, threesome experiences can lead to unpredictable situations, and one never knows for certain where things may lead!

If you are unsure, look for the gender in the middle and they are who will be the object of your affections during a threesome. So, if you are not bi or bi curious, stay away from MMF and MFF threesomes.
