What is soft swinging?
Soft swinging is also known as “Ethical Non-Monogamy”, or “Consensual Non-Monogamy”, is an overarching term for any relationship in which all parties involved consent to engage in romantic, sexual or other intimate activity with multiple people, according to the American Psychological Association’s Committee on Consensual Non-Monogamy.
‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Star Taylor Frankie Paul Talks Hitting ‘Rock Bottom’ After Swinging Scandal, Arrest
The Mormon mom who set the internet alight when she revealed she and her husband had participated in “soft swinging.”
Taylor Frankie Paul’s marriage broke down in 2022 after she developed feelings and embarked on an affair with one of her swinging partners – who was also married to one of her friends.
At the time, Paul’s star was on the rise as part of a group of ‘MomTok’ influencers on TikTok. She and other glamorous Mormon moms often appeared in each other’s videos, creating dances and participating in viral trends with one another.
Now, she’s set to appear in a new Hulu documentary: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives – and tell all about the scandal that she says ‘broke the internet.’
‘MomTok was involved, and then — I guess the public kind of thought everyone was swingers in MomTok,’ she told Fox News. ‘People were dissecting.’
And speaking on the Viall Files, Paul said there was never a specific conversation which led to the swinging. Instead, it started during a night of drinking in which her husband and another suggested she and a woman ‘make out… it’s hot.’
‘I’d done that in my younger years, it wasn’t a big deal to me… we threw another party and it was like, take off your clothes and we’ll do lingerie pictures together.
‘It just escalated.’
Paul recalls the two couples would ‘have intercourse in the same bed… the girls kissing and the husbands touching the other wives.’
At this point, it was just she, her husband and another couple, but over time it expanded to include a third couple.
‘I don’t know how you know but you can kind of gauge who is in.’
Paul said her then-husband was the first person to pull the pin, because he became concerned about one of the women falling pregnant and not knowing who the father was.
‘My husband is like, maybe we should stop doing this with our best friends and maybe we could do this with strangers… I wasn’t on board.’
In spite of the saga – and the retribution from Latter Day Saints who say there are ‘gross misrepresentations’ of the faith – Paul insists she has every right to still identify as Mormon.
‘I go to church, and my son is going to be blessed here soon. It’s really nobody’s place to tell me that I can’t go to church because I sin. It’s something between the church and me,’ she said.
Paul revealed in a 2022 livestream video that she and her then-husband, Tate, had agreed to have multiple partners as part of a ‘soft swinging’ group with other married Mormon couples, implicating some of the women who often featured in her videos.
Paul and her husband had an agreement they ‘wouldn’t go all the way’ with other partners, but she broke that agreement with one of the other husbands who she had developed feelings for, ultimately ending her marriage.
Several of those women were adamant they weren’t involved and issued public statements, while others stayed silent and refused to comment at all.
Several of the key players in the MomTok era have since claimed they were asked to appear on the Hulu show, but turned it down.
The friendship between several of the women and Paul disintegrated, and one of the women, Miranda McWhorter, said she didn’t want to appear on the show in an effort to avoid having to interact with Paul.
‘Yes we said we would consider it if she wasn’t on the show, and we did. We knew we weren’t going to find out in the foreseeable future, and we still made the decision, for our families and ourselves, because it didn’t feel like the right fit,’ she said.
At the time, it was unclear whether Paul could appear on the show as she was facing charges of aggravated assault, domestic violence in the presence of a child and child abuse.
She took a plea deal for the aggravated assault, and the other charges were dismissed with prejudice.
McWhorter shared a text exchange between herself, Camille Munday and their manager, who asked: ‘Final thoughts on Momtok show is that we’re passing, right?’
Munday responded instantly saying: ‘For me, yes I’m passing.’
McWhorter said she ‘wished she could have made a decision’ after she knew whether or not Paul would be appearing on the show, but acknowledged it’s ‘probably not good for me’ either way.
She added it was no surprise to anybody that she and Paul ‘weren’t good at the time’ the show began casting.
Since then, she said Paul’s decision to rehash details of the saga was no more than an attempt to promote the show.
‘Swinging fiasco? That’s tea. This is called PR,’ she said.
Jessi Ngatikaura, who will appear on the show, admitted it was ‘hard to navigate’ being online in the aftermath of the scandal.
‘Everyone just all of a sudden throwing accusations at you because of misconceptions,’ she said.
‘There were a lot of people who didn’t want anything to do with Taylor or MomTok anymore.’
