To reach like-minded people, swingers on cruise ships communicate their sexual openness using pineapple symbols. But this fruit is not the only symbol that forms the secret language of this special pastime.
When it comes to subtle signs and symbols, you might not necessarily think of upside-down pineapples. But as the British newspaper “ Mirror ” reports, the downward-facing exotic fruit has a piquant meaning in a certain context.
On cruises, the upside-down pineapple is a secret sign of swinging or partner swapping.
According to experts, these exotic fruits are often seen on cruise ships, where they appear next to bedroom doors or on Hawaiian shirts to appeal to like-minded vacationers. This phenomenon has now become so widespread that it is widely accepted among the swinging community.
Swinging is a form of open relationship in which two couples come together and exchange their partners for sexual activities. “Putting an upside-down pineapple on the cabin door is the most obvious way people signal their openness to swinging,” said the Mirror, citing Cruise Hive.
Couples also share their experiences with swinger cruises on TikTok. The two influencers Bella and Jase show in their videos what it’s like on board such a trip. They also reported that swingers like to decorate their doors and use pineapple motifs – and proudly show off the cabin door they designed themselves.
But there are other symbols that can indicate non-monogamous behavior. Black rings, anklets or even a container of Tide laundry detergent on the windowsill are among the list of less obvious signs, the Mirror reported. Other more specific signs and trends may emerge in local circles.
