!Tropes for the film:
* BadLiar: Ed is instructing Paul how to successfully cheat on his wife. A series of vignettes are used to illustrate different points. One directive concerns what you do if you are caught: Deny deny deny!. The vignette is a man (Joey Bishop) who is caught in his own bedroom by his wife (Ann Morgan Guilbert). She keeps asking him what he's doing?, whats going on?, who's that woman? He keeps answering with denials: Nothing. I don't know what you mean. What woman? All the while, the woman is getting dressed, and eventually leaves, he makes the bed and straightens out the bedroom, and finally goes to his favorite chair, lights his pipe and picks up the newspaper. When he's all done, there's no indication that anything out of the ordinary ever happened. She eventually is so disconcerted that she simply asks him what he wants for dinner.
* BasedOnAnAdviceBook: The advice book and the movie were developed simultaneously, with both written by Frank Tarloff. The movie is basically a FramingDevice linking a series of vignettes.
* BlatantLies: Paul is thinking about infidelity; his friend coaches him on what to do. One vignette has a wife walk in while her husband and mistress are in bed (afterglow times) and simply repeatedly denies that the mistress is even there. The wife walks away, disbelieving her own eyes.
* FindingABraInYourCar: One vignette involves Harold (Creator/TerryThomas), who has a fling with a pretty girl in his bedroom in his own home. When it was time for her to go, she couldn't find her bra. ("Maybe your wife will think it's hers", she says. He replies, looking at her ample bosom, "You must be joking".) During this scene, Harold is a young-looking man; it is explained that he knows the bra is in the bedroom and that it's only a matter of time before his wife finds it. The episode concludes by introducing Harold at the gym. He looks about 95. "How long ago did this happen?" "Last week".
* SenseiForScoundrels: Ed Stander is this to Paul Manning.
* SleepingSingle: The movie depicts married couples in twin beds while husbands and their girlfriends used double beds.
* {{Tagline}}: "Fourteen famous swingers give you the do's and don'ts for the man with the roving eye and the urge to stray!".
