They do say no one knows what goes on behind closed doors – but is your neighbor giving out secret clues that they’re a swinger?
Yesterday we told how sales of garden pampas grass have plummeted because it’s believed to be a secret signal that swingers live in the home it belongs to.
But it turns out that the exotic plant isn’t the only giveaway that the house’s residents are into liberal sexual practices.
While The Sun Online cannot verify any of these claims, here are some of the tell-tale signs that you could be living next door to a swinger.
According to Cooper Beckett, host of the Life on the Swingset podcast, many swingers wear a black ring.
He told The Stranger: “Wear your black ring on your right hand if you are out and open to meet other swingers.
“If someone wearing a black ring on their right hand approaches you, start a conversation with them, ‘I see you’re wearing a black ring on your right hand. Maybe we are in the same club’.”
Other secret swinger symbols include a woman wearing an anklet, toe rings, thumb rings and switching your wedding ring to the right hand, according to alternative lifestyles website Bigger Love.
They also cite white landscaping rocks and pink or purple decorations in the front garden as a signal of swinger activity.
Bizarrely, the website identifies pineapples as another swinger signal – in the form of a door knocker.
They may look sweet and innocent, but it turns out garden gnomes are a likely indicator that the resident is into swinging.
An estate agent in the US found this out the hard way, when their client was warned off buying in a “huge swinger community.”
The claim is also backed up by a Reddit thread, which also suggests that pink flamingos on the lawn is a tell-tale sign, though the user who uploaded the post was skeptical.
According to the website Swinger Code, people who are up for swapping sexual partners often wear a wristband brandishing a special “sign.”
The subtle symbol was created to help swingers recognize each other and help them to find potential partners.
According to the website, the sign is “unobtrusive and respects the privacy of the ones who wear it.”
The symbol, which consists of the international male and female signs arranged horizontally with their circles intersecting, with three plus or minus signs on both sides, differs slightly depending on what the swinger is into.
The three plus signs on both sides mean they are “looking for partners as a pair” while the minus signs mean they would also join without their partner.
Having a hot tub in the garden is also famed for being a common swinger trait.
But according to Ross Phillipson, sales director at Hot Tubs Superstore in Blackpool, this is now a myth.
He explained: “The biggest misconception is that hot tubs are the preserve of swingers, indulgent Premiership footballers or flashy types who live in Essex. In fact, they are bought by anyone and everyone.”
Another sign is that your neighbor will never open their garage door until they’re in the car with the doors closed, according to a Reddit thread.

Swingers is a 1996 American comedy-drama film about the lives of single, unemployed actors living on the 'eastside' of Hollywood, California , during the 1990s swing revival . Written by Jon Favreau and directed by Doug Liman , the film starred Favreau alongside Vince Vaughn , featuring performances by Ron Livingston and Heather Graham .
A critical and commercial hit, the film helped propel Favreau, Vaughn, Graham, and Livingston to stardom, while also launching Liman's directing career as he won the award for Best New Filmmaker at the 1997 MTV Movie Awards .
This film was rated #58 on Bravo 's "100 Funniest Movies". The film was honored on the 2007 Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards . In 2011, Empire Magazine listed the film as #49 on its "50 Greatest American Independent Films" list. [3]
Mike Peters is a struggling comedian who left New York to find success in Los Angeles, and is still upset over his girlfriend of six years, Michelle, breaking up with him six months prior. To help Mike with his depression, his womanizing friend Trent and some other aspiring actor friends try and get him back into the social scene.
The movie opens with Mike telling his friend Rob about how desperately he misses Michelle and that she has not called him. Rob explains that "somehow" women "know" not to call their ex-boyfriends until they have completely moved on from them.
To help Mike recover, Trent coaxes him into an impromptu trip to Las Vegas. Trent succeeds in picking up two waitresses, but his obsession with Michelle ruins Trent's plans. The women seem interested, but Mike spoils the mood, telling his date about her.
Back in Los Angeles, Mike, Rob and other friends golf, play video games, and go out. All of them trying to make it in the entertainment industry. Then they go bar hopping, stopping at a party, and later an after-hours spot, where Trent demonstrates his prowess in handling the opposite sex. Inspired by this, Mike meets a woman named Nikki and gets her phone number. His friends insist he wait two days minimum before calling.
Back at his apartment, however, he leaves a series of increasingly anxious and desperate messages on Nikki's answering machine in the middle of the night, until she picks up the phone and disgustedly orders him not to call her again. Missing Michelle more than ever, he contemplates moving back to New York until Rob comes over and consoles him.
Out again for swing night at The Derby , Mike spots a woman named Lorraine. He summons all his courage to approach and connect with her. They both recently broke off relationships and moved to LA, and dance well together.
The following morning, Mike receives a call from Michelle, and finds that he no longer misses her. When Lorraine calls him, Mike cuts off his call with Michelle mid sentence saying she loves him, to further things with Lorraine. Like him, she disregarded friends' advice to wait days before calling.
Favreau wrote the screenplay for Swingers in about two weeks. His father had given him a screenwriting program on a computer and he wanted to see if he could make a screenplay "just as an exercise". He had moved from Chicago and had also broken up with his girlfriend there, but the stories and events he wrote in were fictional. He had characters that he loosely based on friends, and used fellow actors for the key parts. He had become friends with Vaughn from the 1993 film Rudy , a movie they had acted in together. He had known Livingston from Chicago and their work at ImprovOlympic , and that they moved to Los Angeles around the same time. [4]
During the time Favreau was trying to raise production money, some of the producers wanted to change the character of Trent to a woman, to not go to Vegas, and to make it darker and more violent. Others wanted to cast more notable actors like Johnny Depp or Chris O'Donnell , but Favreau declined those ideas despite trying hard to embrace them. Favreau and his friends gave reader's theater performances of the script to drum up interest in and capital for the movie. Nicole LaLoggia, who knew of Favreau when the latter read for the film Getting In , agreed to work on the film. Her roommate, Doug Liman , secured production money from his father's business associate on the condition that Liman direct the film. [4] [5]
The title of the film was partly inspired by the Swingers Diner on Beverly Boulevard, a coffee shop that Liman and Favreau frequented. [6] [7] The "you're so money" catchphrase that the film popularized originated from a television commercial with Spike Lee and Michael Jordan in which Lee called Jordan "money". [4] [8] The phone call answering machine scene originated from a comedy bit by Jeff Garlin . [8]
With the small budget, Favreau agreed to cast himself in the movie. Liman planned to shoot about 18 days with about 12 pages per day. They auditioned and cast Vaughn after considering some other bigger names. Many of the supporting and minor roles were filled from casual auditions and from cast and crew acquaintances. More money was spent on music licensing than for the film itself. Much of the film was shot using short ends , which meant many of the scenes could be filmed for about 60 seconds. [4]
Mikey's apartment is located in the Franklin Village area of Los Angeles, a few miles from the Dresden Room. [9] It was Favreau's real-life apartment at the time. [10] [11] Favreau also used his 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente convertible, which he had bought after his previous car had been stolen and stripped. [12]
Swingers was filmed on location at several Los Angeles nightclubs, particularly in the hip Los Feliz neighborhood, including the Dresden Lounge and the Derby. Some of the shots were filmed documentary style with actual bar patrons as the crew could not afford to rent the places outright or hire a number of extras. The additional lighting was kept to a minimum as whenever the lights were brightened, the guests would scatter. [4] [6] [13] The house party scene was filmed at the producers' friends' residences under the guise of a real house party. [4]
The Las Vegas scenes were filmed primarily in two locations, with the exterior casino shots taking place at the Stardust Resort & Casino and all the subsequent interior shots being filmed at the Fremont Hotel and Casino , farther north in downtown Las Vegas. [14] [4]
The Dresden Room is a popular classic bar and club in the Los Feliz neighborhood, located at 1760 N. Vermont Ave. The music duo Marty and Elayne have been performing at the Dresden in real life several nights a week for over 35 years. [15] [16] Vaughn was a frequent visitor. [6]
The cafe where various factions of the crew meet and eat was the Hollywood Hills Coffee Shop (now the 101 Coffee Shop) [9] [6] a few blocks from the Franklin Village apartments. [11] According to Liman, the shop let the cast and crew film for only night while under renovation. [6] The scene involving peekaboo with the baby originated from Vaughn's experience with a similar person at an airport. It was added as an epilogue scene for the film, which would have ended with Favreau's character finishing the phone calls with the two women. [4] [17]
The bar where the characters dance is The Derby in Los Feliz, on the corner of Hillhurst and Los Feliz Boulevard, a club inspired by the original 1920s' Brown Derby Club on the same spot. [18] Favreau had frequented there while he was raising money for the film, and even took swing dancing lessons. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was a regular act there, so Favreau became friends with the band. The filming took place during one of their regular performances along with the swing dancers. [4] In January 2009, the nightclub closed permanently. The property was bought and occupied by a bank. [18]
In addition to casting their friends in key roles, Favreau and Vaughn gave cameo roles to their family members. Vaughn's father, Vernon Vaughn, plays the lucky gambler at the $100-minimum blackjack table, while Favreau's grandmother, Joan Favreau, is the lucky gambler at the $5-minimum blackjack table. Actor Adam Scott , who had lived in the downstairs apartment from Favreau, appeared in the house party scene. [4] [19] Nicole LaLoggia, who was the line producer for the film, cameoed as the voice of Michelle towards the end of the film. [4]
Originally, the producers thought about entering Swingers into the film festival circuit, but it was not thought serious enough to be considered for Sundance. [4] They then opted to release it commercially, with a preliminary screening at a Fairfax Cinema filled with the cast and crew's friends and some prospective buyers. After some negotiations, they sold the film to Miramax for $5 million [4] (Liman recalls it was $5.5 million). [5] It premiered at the Vista Theatre . [4] Swingers had a domestic theatrical gross of $4,555,020. [2]
Swingers would later get a distribution by Buena Vista Home Video . [4]
On review website Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 87% based on 55 reviews, with an average rating of 7.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "Funny, heartfelt, and effortlessly cool, Swingers made stars out of Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau, and established Doug Liman as a director to watch." [20] On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 71 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [21]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave Swingers three out of a possible four stars, writing: "It's not a terribly original idea, [yet] the movie is sweet, funny [and] observant." [22] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an “A”, especially praising Favreau for his “exuberantly witty script”. [23] Kenneth Turan of Los Angeles Times wrote that the film “knows how to breathe life into its people, and hooking audiences is its reward.” [24] Todd McCarthy of Variety praised the film’s engaging tone, writing that it’s “refreshingly human in its humor.” [25]
It served as a breakthrough for Vaughn, who gained public exposure and critical acclaim for his performance. In particular, he caught the eye of Steven Spielberg when a copy of the film was sent to the director so they could clear the rights for the Jaws music. Spielberg then cast Vaughn in The Lost World: Jurassic Park . [4] [26] Director Liman also used the film to help launch a successful career in Hollywood (he would later be known for The Bourne Ide
