Former Cruise Ship Worker Shares The Secret Adult Meaning Behind Wearing A Black Ring

This piece of jewellery might just be part of someone’s outfit – or it could be hinting at something a bit more personal…

A former cruise ship employee has revealed that sometimes, a simple choice in jewellery could actually carry a deeper, more adult-related meaning.In recent years, there’s been a rise in special cruises tailored for the swinging crowd, often referred to as ‘spicy cruises’.

This kind of vacation has gained popularity among people in the swinging and polyamorous communities.

While it’s not something everyone talks about openly, those involved in the lifestyle have found ways to share it.

From subtle door decorations to the existence of open ‘playrooms,’ many have also taken the time to clear up common misconceptions around what swinging actually looks like.But it’s not just limited to themed cruises, exclusive islands, or shows like Channel 4’s Open House.

People in the polyamorous and swinging community often use small signs or symbols in everyday life to hint at their preferences without saying a word.

It’s one of those things that only makes sense if you’re in the know.

Hidden adult meanings behind certain symbols on cruises explained

Most people already know that pineapples – especially upside-down ones – can carry certain meanings when it comes to swinging.

But there are other symbols too, and not everyone knows what to look out for.

To shed some light on these lesser-known signs, Lucy Southerton, who worked on cruise ships for a decade, has shared what she learned during her time at sea.

She now makes videos about her experiences on YouTube.

In one of her videos, Lucy went over a few different signs that are often linked to swingers.One of them is surprisingly subtle – a small accessory that most wouldn’t think twice about.

What does it mean if someone is wearing a black ring?

One clue Lucy mentioned is when someone wears a black ring specifically on their right hand.

“One other that I’ve heard is there’s a black ring on your right hand,” she said.

Lucy isn’t the only one who’s brought up the possible meaning behind wearing a black ring. The idea has been talked about in various Reddit threads and even on the polyamory-focused podcast, Life on the Swingset, where the black ring on the right hand is often linked to non-monogamous relationships.That said, Lucy also pointed out that not everyone wearing a black ring is part of the swinging or polyamorous scene. Sometimes, someone might just like the way the ring looks or find it fits their right hand best.

“But that’s a little bit more inconspicuous because can you imagine if you went up to someone and you’re like, ‘Hey, I can see that black ring on your right hand’ and they are like, ‘Yeah, it’s just a black ring’.” she said.

It’s important to note that wearing a black ring doesn’t always carry the same meaning. For example, black rings worn on the middle finger are actually recognized as a symbol of asexuality (as referenced by Kent State). So assuming someone’s wearing one to indicate swinging could lead to misunderstandings.However, if someone’s wearing a black ring along with a shirt covered in pineapples, and their partner is holding a pink flamingo – well, that combination might be more than just coincidence. It could be a subtle nod to the lifestyle they live.
