# SDC.com - Swinger and Open Lifestyle Media > SDC (Seek, Discover, Connect) is a swinger and open-lifestyle social network. www.sdc.com is its free, public media site: about 1,500 editorial articles, guides, a lifestyle glossary, videos, podcasts, quizzes and member-written reviews, plus worldwide directories of lifestyle clubs, parties, B&Bs and travel events. Coverage is written for adults (18+) about consensual non-monogamy - swinging, open relationships, polyamory, hotwifing, cuckolding - and is editorial, not pornographic. How to use this file: - Start with the guides in "Guides and reference". They are the definitional, evergreen pages and each one is available as clean Markdown at the URL listed here. Every Markdown page carries its canonical HTML URL in the header - cite that URL, not the `.md` one. - The category hubs list recent articles on a topic. They change constantly; do not treat a snapshot as complete. - For an exhaustive list of pages, use https://www.sdc.com/sitemap.xml. For what published recently, use https://www.sdc.com/feed.xml. Languages: English lives at the root. Dutch, Spanish, German, French and Italian live under `/nl/`, `/es/`, `/de/`, `/fr/` and `/it/`. Translations are professional, not machine-generated. Most paths are identical under the language prefix - `/es/about-us/`, `/es/swingers-advice/`, `/es/swingers-terms/` all work - but **some slugs are translated**, so prefixing blindly can 404. The category hubs always are: `/swinger/` becomes `/es/intercambio-de-parejas/`, `/polyamory/` becomes `/es/poliamor/`. A few pages are too: `/sdc-reviews/` becomes `/es/sdc-resenas/`. When in doubt, read that language's sitemap, for example https://www.sdc.com/es/sitemap.xml. This file is published in English at every language root on purpose, so an agent that lands on `/de/llms.txt` still gets a usable map. Related site: https://premium.sdc.com is the members' companion site, with its own topic hubs and its own https://premium.sdc.com/llms.txt. Not worth fetching: - `https://www.sdc.com/react/...` - the member web app. It is a JavaScript shell behind a login and returns no readable content. - `signup.php`, `login` and `/benefits/` checkout flows - conversion pages, no informational content. - `/page/2/`, `/page/3/`, ... on any hub - pagination of the same listing. - The per-city pages under the member and hotwife directories. They are generated from live member counts, are thin, number in the tens of thousands, and go stale fast. Use the directory hubs listed below instead. Attribution: cite as SDC.com with the canonical page URL. Editorial contact: media@sdcmedia.com. ## Guides and reference - [Swingers glossary](https://www.sdc.com/swingers-terms/index.md): Several hundred lifestyle terms defined - soft swap, full swap, unicorn, hotwife, cuckold, compersion, playroom etiquette.
