There are a variety of ways to use the upside down pineapple to communicate a desire to connect with other swingers, of course.
Cruise ships tend to be popular homes for these symbols, but you can find them anywhere. And you are finding them anywhere these days. Which is why so many people increasingly ask what the heck the symbol means.
Some people may use the symbol in boisterous displays of swinger pride, while others may choose more cryptic ways.
The way an upside down pineapple is displayed may also tell us about the swingers themselves. For example, more spirited, exuberant displays convey not only a desire to connect with other swingers, but also reflect prideful, proud swingers. The more cryptic displays may convey more introverted types.

No one seems to understand what the history is which connects the pineapple to the swinging lifestyle. And most likely no one really knows. The pineapple itself is rather iconic in its connection with Caribbean vacations, so that’s one potential reason. Some folks say the use of the upside down pineapple to symbolize swinger fun began in the 90s. But overall, it’s a big mystery.
There used to be a theory that those plastic yard flamingo decors were a symbole of swinging. Many swingers indeed place these in their yards to let folks know they are down for swinging. There’s also wearing a black ring on the right hand which many say symbolizes a swinger. But the upside down pineapple has become an unrivaled idol for the swinger lifestyle.
