| Submission declined on 29 April 2024 by Dan arndt (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of web content). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

FabSwingers is a social networking website for swingers and those seeking casual sex. Founded in 2006[1] by a swinging couple,[2] the website has options for men, women and transgender users, and allows users to sort by location, venues, as well as individual fetishes and kinks.[1][3] It has a companion website called Fab Guys which is aimed at gay and bisexual men.[2]
Features
[edit]A personal profile on FabSwingers can represent a single person or a couple[4] and consists of age, gender and sexual orientation along with a list of interests including cuckoldry, dogging[3] and oral sex.[1] Profiles can also be verified for authenticity when the user submits a photograph of themselves along with their username written down.[3]
FabSwingers operates on a freemium model with features including seeing higher-resolution photos and seeing other users who have looked at the logged-in profile.[3] Advertising is also removed for paying members.[4]
Reception
[edit]The user interface of the website has been criticised for being dated.[1][3]
Incidents
[edit]In March 2018, Jesse McDonald fatally stabbed Naomi Hersi, a transgender woman, following an encounter arranged on FabSwingers. He was found guilty of murder and sentenced on 1 November.[5][6][7]
