It\u2019s one of the OGs of the lifestyle, offering everything from personal profiles and event listings to public chat rooms and party invites. And speaking of chat rooms, if you&#8217;ve ever longed to relive the glory days of AOL in the late \u201890s, buckle up. The live chat interface is straight outta the era of \u201cASL?\u201d and pixelated emojis.

We weren\u2019t just peeking through the window &#8211; we went in, paid the cover, and tried to mingle. We searched for single females, single males, and yes even couples &#8211; hell, if there were centaurs, we would\u2019ve messaged them too.

The event calendar is probably its strongest feature &#8211; it\u2019s basically your swinger social diary. Kasidie and SDC do this too, but SLS has been doing it since before some of us were legal.

It\u2019s cruise manifest meets sexy cyberstalking, and honestly? Kinda brilliant. Want to know if that hot couple from Tampa is sailing in April? You can.
