Naughty Nawlins' Swingers Convention 2026 Recap | S5 EP137

Send us Fan Mail

Bourbon Street is loud, hot, and chaotic, so it’s the perfect backdrop for one of the biggest swingers conventions in the country. I’m back from Naughty Nollins with a fresh, boots-on-the-ground recap from my first time in New Orleans and my first ever swingers convention and I’m not sugarcoating the logistics, the surprises, or the stuff I’d do differently next year. 

I went as part of the Smut Lovers crew, juggling vending, volunteering, and trying to stay socially functional on very limited energy. I talk about what the event actually looks like from the inside: badge-only hotel access, couples-heavy crowds, “vanilla” speed dating that isn’t exactly vanilla, naked speed dating that gets even stranger, and the unexpectedly practical necklace station where people make name tags that list what they’re into. I also share what it’s like working the play spaces, including the infamous orgy room setup, cleanup, and the constant flow of people cycling through themed rooms. 

You’ll also hear how the convention spreads across multiple hotels, why the shuttle matters, and how the kink side shows up with a real dungeon and meetups that hint at a growing overlap between swingers culture, kink community spaces, and poly relationship styles. I wrap with my best first-timer tips for Naughty Nollins and any New Orleans swingers event: arrive early for pre-con networking, plan for the heat, protect your downtime, and advocate for better maps if you’re vending. 

If this helped you picture what a swingers convention is really like, subscribe, share the show with a curious friend, and leave a review so more people can find Around the Kinky Kampfire. What would you want to know before going to a convention like this?
