Swinger vacation initiation happening under Mannheim city council's watch - attendee comments: "Individuals are timid"
In an unusual blend of public office and private lifestyle, Mannheim city councilor Julien Ferrat is leading a group trip to France that combines nudism with swinging, a lifestyle involving consensual partner swapping and group sexual activities. This controversial FKK (Freikörperkultur, or nudist) swinger trip has drawn public attention and criticism, as it is led by a politician and is described explicitly as an FKK swinger vacation.
The trip, set to start this Saturday and last for eight days, has already attracted participants such as a bisexual woman named Mimi from Rheinland-Pfalz. Mimi, a 34-year-old woman from a village near Mannheim, is known for earning money through the erotic platform "Onlyfans" by selling nude photos.
Mimi had previously participated in a FKK training camp organized by Councilor Ferrat in Mannheim. She is looking forward to meeting people, the atmosphere, and the clubs during the swinger trip. Mimi is also interested in the Village Naturiste, a nudist community in Cap d'Agde, where one can shop, eat, and live naked.
However, this trip has sparked controversy. The CDU has described it as "crazy," and the German Association for Free Body Culture has expressed concerns about the mixing of swinging and free body culture terms. The trip is advertised as a "political educational trip" and is open to 20 participants.
Councilor Ferrat published an advertisement for the swinger trip in the official gazette in mid-May. An image accompanying the advertisement showed Councilor Ferrat naked on the beach, covering his genitals with a sign that read "Die Mannheimer in the city council."
Mimi prefers to remain anonymous to avoid potential work-related issues due to her lifestyle. She had tried to establish relationships after her divorce but found it difficult to fulfill her free sexuality within them. Mimi has been a swinger for over eleven years and travels to swinger meetings across Germany.
Each participant in the swinger trip is responsible for their own travel costs, according to Councilor Ferrat. The exact details on why this has become a major issue beyond the explicit nature of the trip are not fully detailed in the available sources. The coverage focuses mainly on the fact that the trip is launching and who is participating, highlighting the unusual juxtaposition of political office and FKK swinger activities.

- Despite the controversy surrounding the trip, the advertisement for the Mannheim city councilor's FKK swinger voyage was published in several sources, such as Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung, Tagesspiegel, SWR, and FAZ.
- While some dispute the mixing of swinging and free body culture in the event, the trip is being marketed as both a political educational opportunity and a chance to experience fashion-and-beauty and home-and-garden amenities at the Village Naturiste, a nudist community in Cap d'Agde.
- The participants of the swinger trip are expected to cover their own travel costs, as stated by Councilor Ferrat, who also owns a car and enjoys travels with his partner.
- In addition to her work on Onlyfans, Mimi has expressed a keen interest in expanding her social circle, shopping for fashion-and-beauty items, and exploring new travel destinations through her lifestyle as a swinger, even as she remains mindful of work-related issues and maintains anonymity to protect her relationships.
