On-Premise Club

Club Nine is an invite-only adult lifestyle venue operating in Melbourne's inner east, near Kew, positioning itself as an intimate alternative to the city's larger clubs. Attendance at each event is capped at around 20 guests and limited to adults aged 20–45 who have cleared a personal application process — recent photographs and a short written introduction — before receiving an invitation. Couples and single women are considered on a rolling basis; single men face a more selective review. The venue address is disclosed to confirmed bookings only. The venue occupies a multi-level residential property. A ground-floor lounge serves as the social space and the only area where food and drinks are consumed; upstairs rooms include a Master Suite, the Midnight Chamber, and a fully equipped BDSM Play Room. All phones and recording devices are surrendered at the door and held securely for the duration of the event. Alcohol is BYO — no glassware is permitted anywhere in the venue, and only light-coloured drinks are allowed. The house supplies condoms, lubricants, single-use disposable towels, complimentary soft drinks, and bottled water. Events run on an almost-weekly schedule across several formats: Exclusive Circles for couples and single ladies only, MFM Evenings with vetted single men admitted at a 1:1 ratio against attending ladies, and a rotating calendar of themed and kink-oriented nights. Full event details and dates are distributed by email to approved members only — no public calendar exists. Entry prices vary by event: AUD $100–$150 per couple, free to $50 for single women, and $250–$300 for single men. Pre-booking is mandatory; no walk-ins or door sales are accepted. Cancellations made at least three days in advance receive a refund minus a 10% processing fee, or a six-month event credit in lieu; cancellations within three days are non-refundable.

Club Z

Unverified

Columbus, OH

private residential home

Billed as the Ultimate Interracial Lifestyle Club in Central Ohio, Club Z has carved out a singular niche in Columbus's lifestyle scene by centering racial diversity and interracial connection at its core. Operated by Angela and Edwin from a private residential location in the greater Columbus area, the club deliberately keeps its address off public listings — members receive it only after their application clears a mandatory telephone interview. That screening process sets the tone: this is not a walk-in venue. The atmosphere is described consistently as sensual, inviting, and intimate, closer in feel to an upscale house party than a commercial nightclub. Membership is open to couples, single females, and select single males sponsored as guests of member couples — a policy that keeps the guest list curated and the ratio balanced. The club operates on a BYOB basis and runs monthly Saturday-night parties capped at 35 to 40 guests, a deliberately small number that reinforces the private-party atmosphere. Prospective members must be 21 or older and present a valid photo ID. The club carries a NASCA International affiliation. Club Z's identity is built around discretion and a no-pressure philosophy: members socialise and play at their own level of comfort. The intimate scale — unlike the large commercial clubs in Columbus — is a deliberate differentiator. Contact runs through 614-361-5900 and ClubZZebra@aol.com; the club's website at clubzzebra.com does not currently resolve.

Chicopee, MA

Its current parties are held at a hotel in Meriden, Connecticut, and attending requires a Club4Play membership. The events are built around a main party with a DJ, with late-night bites at most events and fun rooms that open late in the evening. A hotel room is optional; guests who book one must attend the main party and wear an event wristband, and extra security checks the private floors for wristbands. Events are for couples and single women only; single men are not allowed, even to visit before or after an event. Couples must arrive and stay together, and everyone must be on the guest list and checked in by midnight, when the check-in desk closes. Events at the Meriden hotel are currently BYOB. Guests wear a wrap or cover-up in public areas. Cameras and phone cameras are prohibited, drugs are strictly prohibited, and there is no nudity or sex in public areas; breaking these rules can get a guest removed or banned. Guests must be over 21.

Couples Playhouse In Paradise

Naperville, IL

On-Premise Club

Couples Playhouse in Paradise describes itself as “an established private party house” in a “lodge type setting” on three acres in the western suburbs of Chicago, and its site says it has been hosting parties since 1996. It holds themed private parties every Saturday, with theme participation optional, and adds Sunday day parties during the summer months. The house lists nine private and open rooms, a vaulted-ceiling living room, a dance floor with a dance pole, two bar areas, and five bathrooms. Outside are two pools (one all-season, one outdoor), a hot tub, a carpeted sundeck, a sand volleyball court and a bonfire pit with outdoor seating, and a buffet meal and dessert are among its listed features.

on-premise

DB Socials holds a singular distinction in New England: it is the region's longest-running on-premise lifestyle party, operating continuously since June 1999 — first out of Bridgewater, then quietly relocating to its current private location in Grafton, a suburb in Worcester County about an hour west of Boston. Host Barry has run every event since inception, and the format has stayed deliberately unchanged across more than two decades: small, intimate gatherings for full-swap couples and single women, designed to feel nothing like a commercial nightclub. Events run bi-monthly, opening at 7PM with a floating close around 11PM-midnight. There is no door charge; in lieu of a fee, guests are asked to bring food or snacks to share, along with their own beverage — alcohol is welcome, though intoxication is not. Music plays throughout and adult movies provide ambient backdrop, but the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. The emphasis is on a small, intimate group setting rather than a large-scale venue experience. First-timers are welcome, but entry requires a brief phone call first — Barry needs to hear a woman's voice before directions to the private address are given out. That one rule says a great deal about DB Socials: a community built on trust and continuity, self-selecting for people who take the courtesy call seriously. Events are fully non-smoking throughout.

On-Premise Club

DJ's Island describes itself as “A private club for adventurous adults”, a members-only, on-premise lifestyle club in Beaver Falls, PA.

The club covers 8500 square feet of nightclub space with lounges, a year-round outdoor patio, leather sofa seating and a dance floor with two poles and a dance cage. Its private play rooms offer different bed configurations and furniture such as a sex swing and a black light frame bed, and first-floor rooms have bathrooms with showers. The VIP Room, reservable for any club night, has an 8 person hot tub and a two-way mirror to the dance floor. Couples and singles need a membership and a reservation, new members must be sponsored by an existing member, and single men by a couple who attend with them on a first visit. The club does not sell alcohol, so guests bring their own, and the bartender decides whether a member has had too much. Saturday dress is “DRESS TO IMPRESS”, with blue jeans allowed for men only with a collared shirt and no tennis shoes or ball caps. Cameras and video equipment are banned, drugs of any kind mean permanent loss of membership, and pursuing someone after a refusal gets a member asked to leave.

Electricity Social Club

Providence, RI

On-Premise Club

Electricity Social Club says “ESC is where your nights come alive”. It is a members-only, on-premise lifestyle club on the second floor of the Right Tower at 122 Manton Avenue, in the Olneyville neighborhood of Providence.

The dress code does not allow overly ripped jeans or tank tops.

On-Premise Club

Encounterz is a fully council-approved adult lifestyle venue set inside a heritage building at 86 Brisbane Street in the heart of Ipswich's CBD, Queensland. The club describes itself as a welcoming space for open-minded adults — including those interested in the swinging lifestyle and those who simply want to socialise in a relaxed setting — and makes clear from the outset that attendance carries no guarantee of interaction with other guests. The venue occupies a heritage building whose interior is divided into a bar room, a pool room, and multiple playrooms. Access to playrooms follows a door-and-blind convention: a closed door with blinds drawn signals full privacy; a closed door with open blinds invites watching from outside; and an open door indicates that guests may request entry. The club operates on a BYO policy — mixers, ice, and cups are supplied — with alcohol service stopping at 10 PM. Towels, condoms, and lubricant are provided throughout; shower facilities and a smoking area are on site; and lockers can be rented by the night ($5), month ($20), or year ($60). Themed events, which have included rope bondage, wax play, and electroplay demonstrations run in partnership with Open Door QLD, appear regularly on the calendar alongside standard social sessions. Doors open every Friday and Saturday from 6:30 PM to midnight. Entry is priced by membership status and guest type: couples pay $85 (non-member) or $75 (member), single males $90 (non-member) or $75 (member), and single females $40 (non-member) or $30 (member). Annual membership is $40 per couple, $50 for single males, and $30 for single females, and includes a loyalty card granting every fifth visit at half price. Single men must book in advance — reservations are used to manage gender ratios, and pre-purchased tickets take priority over walk-ins. Card payments attract a $1 surcharge. The dress code is enforced at the door: men must wear a collared shirt and closed shoes (no sneakers), and women must arrive in evening wear; the venue's stated policy is 'NO EFFORT NO ENTRY.'

Eros Knoxville

Knoxville, TN

On-Premise Club

Eros Knoxville describes itself as “an upscale, private, members only social club” in downtown Knoxville, reached through a courtyard on the bottom floor, where it says to look for the upside-down pineapple in the window. It is a BYOB club that does not sell alcohol, and it says guests may bring a favorite cup with a lid. Its events run on Friday and Saturday nights and carry new themes, with bartenders supplying mixers. Lockers are provided first come, first served, and members supply their own locks. The club also lists a Ruby Room for 10 to 15 people, a private booth for up to six and reserved lounge seating for four, and its rules ask guests who enter a play area without playing to whisper or stay quiet. Everyone who enters must be an approved member, and membership can be submitted and approved at the door. Guests must be 21 or older, show a valid ID such as a passport or driver’s license, and not be on the Tennessee Sexual Offender and Violent Offender Register, and new members complete a mandatory tour on their first visit. The club says its dress code is strictly enforced, sexy but classy, and that cameras and recording devices, drugs and prostitution are not permitted. It asks guests to respect no and to ask consent before touching, and it turns away or removes guests who are overly intoxicated.

Fantasies Lifestyle Club

Unverified

Branch, LA

Fantasies Lifestyle Club sits along Branch Highway in the rural Mowata and Branch communities of Acadia Parish, a stretch of farmland southwest of Crowley where a swingers venue is about the last thing neighbors expected to see rise from the cane fields. Co-owned by Crowley residents Jasen Bourque and Jessica Boullion, the club is pitched as an upscale, invite-only social space for couples, polyamorous groups, single women, and select single men aged 21 and up, with private and open play areas, a dance floor, and showers stocked with towels and toiletries. Its own house style leans dressy rather than club-casual: patrons are asked to arrive "dressed to impress," with no basketball shorts or work clothes, and to stay fully covered on the way in and out. The club's arrival triggered one of the most contentious local government fights Acadia Parish has seen in years. Construction was vandalized in October, with plumbing torn out at a cost owners put in the tens of thousands of dollars, and packed police jury meetings followed as Branch and Mowata residents voiced fears about the effect on their quiet farming community. The parish police jury responded in January 2025 with a 7-0 ordinance vote (one member absent) that licenses and heavily restricts "sexually oriented businesses," banning alcohol, public nudity, and sexual intercourse on premises, requiring lights-on monitoring of guests, and keeping semi-nude staff at least six feet from patrons. The club's attorney, Douglas Brown, has said the ordinance is designed to run Fantasies out of the parish and that a lawsuit will follow once it is enforced.

Forbidden Omaha

Omaha, NE

On-Premise Club

Forbidden Omaha describes itself as “a theme-centric establishment with an emphasis towards an openminded lifestyle.” It is an on-premise lifestyle club in Omaha, Nebraska, that opens on Saturday nights and runs meet and greets and special events. Its About page calls it “a community” and says it has been under new ownership as of December 2021. Its Rules page sets a 45-minute play time for every room, and the FAQ says play on the main floor is allowed on couches, benches and seating areas. An open-door and window-curtain approach caters to guests who like to watch or perform. Special events, such as entertainment nights and dinners, are ticketed separately from the regular pass or membership. The club is not open to the general public. First-timers create an account and give links to social profiles such as Facebook, Instagram or FetLife for approval, then buy a membership, and are asked to request a tour on a first visit. Single men and single women are welcome if they follow the club's rules and etiquette, and BDSM interests are welcome provided guests respect those who are not into it. There is no liquor license, so the club is BYOB, with ice available. Rules include no photography on the open floor, consent above all, and cleaning up after yourself.

Friction Parties

Unverified

Washington, DC

Event Organizer

Friction Parties is a women-owned and operated event company founded more than 22 years ago by Lisa Friction, billed as the only nationally recognized hotel party brand in the United States. Operating across the East Coast — with events regularly held in the Washington DC/Maryland area, Philadelphia, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Ohio — Friction takes over entire hotels for the duration of each event, meaning every guest and room belongs exclusively to the lifestyle community. The organizing ethos is welcoming but selective: the crowd skews toward what organizers describe as attractive, well-groomed couples and single women, and all attendees are pre-screened before admission. Events run in two formats. Single-day events are typically held on Saturdays around themed holidays — Halloween, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day — with check-in from 2 PM and a ballroom dance party running from 9 PM to around 1:30 AM. Weekend two-day events add clothing-optional pool parties and afternoon activities. Ticket prices range from approximately $75–$150 per person; no refunds, only future-event credits. Membership on the platform lets members browse event attendee lists and connect with couples and single females year-round. Once the main dance party ends, the format shifts to an informal hall crawl on a designated party floor where room doors are propped open and guests host themed mini-parties until the early morning. The ballroom features a DJ, dance poles, cages, and themed décor matched to the night’s costume theme. Alcohol is available via full cash bar operated by the hotel; guests may not bring drinks from rooms to the party floor.
