Trolls call me & my ex-military hubby ‘sick’ for ditching our jobs to be swingers AND parents but we’ve made over £830k
A COUPLE have revealed that they are called ‘sick’ and their morals are questioned after they gave up their careers to be swingers.
Olivia and Gage, who go by Vista Wife and Vista Husband, got together in 2009 on a night out in Leeds and a conversation on Olivia’s sexuality soon sparked their swinging lifestyle.
Gage, who is ex-military, and Olivia, former cabin crew, turned their backs on their jobs and now, have made more than £830,000 thanks to their lucrative business.
The couple, who have two children, told Truly all about their unique lifestyle, and explained how swinging has turned their life around – for the better.
It all started after they first slept together, when Olivia voiced that she was “bisexual or at least bi-curious”.
The pair decided to explore it together, as Gage explained: “Long story short, it was a mutual decision. Conversations happening over a couple of weeks about Olivia’s sexuality.”
Olivia chimed in: “Originally, I was like, I really need to do it with you, you’re my rock and you’re the one who gets the party started. I couldn’t imagine doing it without you.”
The couple’s original rules were that they would either “play” as a pair or Olivia would “play” individually, with Gage never doing it alone.
However, after seven years of swinging, they described their current attitude as “free-flowing, very fluid”, and claimed they have “100% communication.”
The married couple found a couple to try things with and the rest was history and has been described as their “best decision ever.”
But the pair then turned their discreet hobby into a booming business, after they realised there was a huge issue with apps that existed to help them meet other like-minded couples.
To combat fake profiles, they decided to create their own forum – Swing Hub – in an attempt to modernise and get more people involved in swinging.
Not only has the app been super profitable and has made them over $1million [£826,350], but Olivia beamed: “The fact that we created a really safe environment. You can’t screenshot any images on there, so people can be as discreet as possible.
“There is no photo sharing. Everybody is verified. It’s all safe, so you know who you’re talking to.”
What is Swinging?
SWINGING, also known as partner swapping, is a sexual activity where partners in a committed relationship engage in sexual activities with other people.
All parties involved must give explicit and enthusiastic consent.
Open and honest communication between partners is crucial.
Many swingers engage with a community or attend events specifically for swinging.
Such activity can enhance intimacy and trust within the primary relationship.
It provides an opportunity to explore sexual fantasies and desires.
But it is not suitable for every relationship and requires a strong foundation of trust.
Jealousy and emotional challenges may arise and need to be managed.
Not only this, but the couple also have a venue called Vanilla Alternative, where they host swinging parties – and a busy night can see 300 people in attendance.
Whilst their family are supportive, the couple have experienced a lot of public backlash on social media as a result of their unique lifestyle, as Olivia admitted: “The judgement…there was a lot there.”
I actually like feeling used, thank you very much

Gage chimed in and confessed: “It’s things like – we spread STDs, that we don’t love each other, it’s a form of cheating.”
He added that they are often called “sick” and are told they have “no morals or self-respect”.
But whilst some haters will ask: “How can you feel respected? More like feeling used”, Olivia hit back and confirmed: “I actually like feeling used, thank you very much.”
Not seeing an issue with their way of life, Gage questioned: “At the end of the day, we are sexual beings. People window shop, why not do it together?”
Social media users react
But after they opened up on experiencing trolling, it’s no surprise that YouTube users were left stunned by the couple’s confessions and many quickly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person said: “I don’t like to share. This lifestyle is definitely not for me.”
Another added: “This is wild.”
Whilst a third claimed: “Money doesn’t buy you class…”
Meanwhile, someone else snapped: “That’s not the flex you think it is.”
