Taylor Frankie Paul’s ‘Soft Swinging’ Revelation Shakes Up Mormon MomTok Community
In a stunning revelation, influencer Taylor Frankie Paul, with over 4 million TikTok followers, has opened up about her experience with "soft swinging," a non-monogamous practice, which she claims contributed to her divorce from ex-husband Tate Paul. In a viral 2022 video, she disclosed that she broke an agreed-upon rule regarding intimate encounters within a group of friends. "As long as we were both there… it was OK. Once it went behind each other’s backs, that’s when I stepped out of the agreement," she explained.
The scandal has sent shockwaves through the #MomTok community, igniting discussions about the complexities of ethical non-monogamy. Paul hinted at the practice’s prevalence among fellow influencers, but Tate has yet to comment publicly.
Experts like Jillian Amodio, a licensed therapist, explain that soft swinging typically involves sexual activities that don’t include full penetrative sex, allowing couples to engage intimately while maintaining romantic exclusivity to one partner. While Paul characterized her group’s soft swinging as consensual, events unfolded differently.
The fallout from this revelation is explored in Hulu’s new series, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” which delves into the intricacies of relationships in the MomTok community. The show’s timing coincides with societal interest in non-monogamous practices, a topic Amodio notes has existed throughout human history.
Though some may view soft swinging as a guise for infidelity, Amodio argues that it can foster excitement and fulfillment within relationships, provided that honesty and communication are prioritized. As the fascination with Paul’s story continues, it reveals how deeply intertwined modern relationships and social media intrigue can be, transforming personal experiences into shared narratives that captivate audiences online.
