The best advice for meeting someone for the first time is to make it a public place.  To just show up naked at their front door is stupid, and you are asking to make yourself a victim.  You need to be absolutely certain that this person is being truthful about themselves.  We cannot begin to describe the number of bad experiences we have heard where people have faced someone who had lied about themselves.  The sad part is that these could easily have been avoided.  While 99.9% of these instances do not result in any permanent physical harm, they have left at least one party with a permanent bad taste in their mouth.

Luckily, the vast majority of people who hook up on the various swingers sites out there have done so with a great amount of success.  Good stories greatly outweigh the bad, and people become permanently involved in the swinging lifestyle.  If you are certain that you are going to hook up with someone soon, it might be best to do a background check.  These are available online at relatively little cost.

Other considerations are obviously that of taking precautions sexually, and always wear protection if both parties have not been tested.  Always use your brain!
