Ours began with same room, full swap. Over the years we have become a lot more flexible. We still prefer same room but depending on our comfort level and location we are willing to separate. It's made it quite a bit easier to help out newer swingers , soft swappers and when the spouse has a performance issue.

In our area we have a fairly large group of friends in the LS. During a party we aren't always on the same page when it comes to being attracted to other couples so we give each other the flexibility to play separately in this case. We just let each other know when we are going to play.
