Our Secret Spot

Sydney, New South Wales

On-Premise Club

Our Secret Spot (OSS) occupies three floors of a venue on Parramatta Road in Annandale, roughly five kilometres west of the Sydney CBD. Co-founded by Jess and Lawrence, the club positions itself explicitly as female-focused and consent-first, drawing a crowd that typically clusters in the thirties and forties, with guests spanning the early twenties to early sixties. The stated ethos — Respectful, Safe, Sexy — shapes everything from the strict consent culture to the staff-guided walk offered to every first-time visitor. The social floor centres on a hand-crafted wooden BYO bar with free mixers (glass decanted to plastic at entry), Chesterfield lounge seating, a ruby-red pool table, and a disco-lit dance floor with a DJ deck. Play spaces spread across the upper levels: three private rooms, a one-way-mirror voyeur room, a large four-bedded open group room, a fully equipped dungeon, and an open shower space. A library-themed VIP room — lockable, with customisable music — rents by the hour. Lockers, condoms, dams, lube, and towels are included in the ticket price; all mobile phones are surrendered at reception on arrival. Parties run on Friday and Saturday nights from 20:30 until 03:00; Thursday Thirsty Thursday sessions and occasional Sunday afternoon matinees are advertised on the venue calendar but are not confirmed as standing hours. Entry is by advance ticket with tiered pricing for guest couples, members, and single women; single men are admitted in limited numbers by prior approved application only. The dress code is strictly enforced — cocktail attire or smart separates for women, collared shirt with trousers or chinos and dress shoes for men — and couples must arrive and depart together.

PaaRee Swingertreff

Castrop-Rauxel, North Rhine-Westphalia

club

PaaRee Swingertreff is a couples and lifestyle club at Hernerstraße 110 in Castrop-Rauxel, in the heart of the Ruhr region in North Rhine-Westphalia, run by Mandy and Frank Kuhles. The club brands itself as "der tolerante, frivole & aktive Swingertreff mit Niveau und Klasse" — a tolerant, spirited, and active swinger venue with refinement and class — and positions itself as a considered alternative to the larger, more impersonal mega-clubs of the region. The guiding motto is "Alles kann – nichts muss" (everything is possible, nothing is mandatory). Women, couples, single men, and trans guests across a range of orientations and relationship configurations are all welcomed, with mandatory advance registration by phone or JOYclub profile required for everyone. The venue describes itself as "der kleine und feine Swingertreff" — small and refined — and features multiple themed play rooms of varying sizes, including spaces for BDSM scenes and group encounters alongside smaller couples-oriented rooms. A large outdoor terrace, screened from public view, extends the available space in milder weather. The communal shower room is stocked with hair dryers and toiletries; complimentary lockers are provided throughout. A bar with branded alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and a food spread — including a fresh Saturday buffet, cooked meals on weekdays and Sundays, and snacks at other sessions — are included in the all-in entry price, as are condoms and towels. Cash is the only accepted payment method on site. The club runs events across four days each week. Friday evenings (19:00–01:00) host themed Active Swinger Nights; Saturdays (20:00–02:00) run the main weekly Saturday Night Swinger party; Sundays (15:00–20:00) offer the Sxx-Active Sunday session; and the second Thursday of each month (12:00–18:00) hosts a bi-friendly FKK afternoon. Pricing is all-inclusive and varies by event: on Fridays, women pay €15, couples €45, and single men €45; Saturday rates are €20 for women, €50 for couples, and €50 for men; other sessions are priced slightly lower. JOYclub Premium members receive a €5 reduction on any session. Strict house rules apply throughout: no mobile phones, no cannabis, erotic attire required, and a zero-tolerance consent policy is enforced — any violation results in immediate removal and a permanent ban.

Pandora Swingers Club

Leeds, West Yorkshire

Pandora occupies a converted former shoe warehouse at Unit 2 Ledgard Way in the Armley district of Leeds, roughly two miles west of the city centre. The club bills itself as the largest swingers venue in Northern England and operates on a members-only basis. It shares the Ledgard Way building with Steam Complex, a gay sauna whose daytime hours precede Pandora’s evening sessions — a scheduling arrangement confirmed by Leeds City Council when it approved extended operating hours following a planning application that attracted objections from local councillors and the then-MP Rachel Reeves. The venue makes use of a multi-floor warehouse footprint. A heated swimming pool (30°C), a ten-person jacuzzi (35°C), a twelve-person sauna, and a sprung dance floor sit alongside a bar serving soft drinks and mixers, with a BYOB drop-off area where staff secure members’ own alcohol behind the bar (the venue holds no alcohol licence). Play spaces extend across a dungeon, dark rooms, UV rooms, an orgy room, private rooms equipped with suspension beds, bondage walls, sex swings, glory holes, and a massage area. The car park outside is floodlit and holds sixty spaces. The weekly schedule runs Thursday to Sunday. Thursday hosts Biphoria, a bisexual and bi-male session running 11am to midnight with split admission: before 7pm, couples pay £25 and single men £17 (single women and trans guests £8); after 7pm the rates drop to £15 for couples and single men, £5 for single women and trans guests. Friday and Saturday are general open nights (8pm–2am); Sunday is a lower-key Relaxed Sunday (8pm–midnight). A monthly fetish night is held on the first Wednesday of the month. Annual membership costs £5 for single women and trans members, £10 for couples, and £40 for single men.

Parenclub Mystique

Rucphen, Noord-Brabant

swingers_club

Parenclub Mystique has anchored the Noord-Brabant swinger scene since May 2001, when owner Frank van Loon opened this discreet venue on the Zundertseweg in Rucphen, a rural municipality several kilometres from Roosendaal. Over more than 25 years of operation, the club has built a large membership base and established itself among the more prominent lifestyle venues in the southern Netherlands, consistently described across Dutch directories as stylish and refined. It holds an SDC (Swingers Date Club) affiliation and markets itself as a sfeervol, stijlvol en luxe — convivial, stylish, and luxurious — evening out. The venue spans multiple levels, with a basement housing 150 lockers across four dressing rooms, and the main floor opening onto a spacious bar and dance area with a resident DJ, a champagne bar, a dedicated smoking lounge, and a 40-seat restaurant serving a hot-and-cold lava-grill buffet — all included in the entrance fee. An outdoor swimming pool, an XL whirlpool, and a luxury sauna round out the leisure facilities, while multiple themed play rooms occupy the upper floors alongside dedicated shower areas. The atmosphere is consistently described as welcoming and stylish, shaped by the easy sociability for which Brabant is known; free parking is available on site. The club opens six days a week, closed on Tuesdays. Mondays and Thursdays open at 14:00, Wednesdays at 18:00; Friday evenings at 20:00, Saturdays at 19:00, and Sundays at 16:00. Single men are admitted on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays only; Friday through Sunday is reserved for couples and single women. Entry for couples is €75 on weekday afternoons, rising to €110 on Fridays and Sundays and €130 on Saturdays; single women pay €20–€50 depending on the evening; single men pay around €100. All prices are all-inclusive, covering unlimited bar service and the buffet. Around six newcomer trial evenings are held each year, and the weekly calendar features bi evenings, transgender nights, BDSM sessions, and themed special events.

Parenclub Showboat

Zaandijk, Noord-Holland

swingers_club

Showboat is a swingers club housed aboard a moored vessel on the Lagedijk waterway in Zaandijk, Noord-Holland, roughly fifteen kilometres north of Amsterdam. The boat setting is the venue's defining feature, attracting visitors from across the wider Amsterdam region on a seven-day schedule that spans both daytime and late-night sessions. It operates as an all-inclusive club on most days, with entry covering food and drink. The upper deck forms the social core of the venue, combining a bar, a buffet of warm and cold dishes, a dance floor, and lounge seating fitted out in polished wood, copper accents, and deep-red upholstery. The lower deck is devoted to play, housing a BDSM room, a jacuzzi, a sauna, a Turkish steam bath, and several erotically themed rooms. Dress code — tight boxer shorts for men, lingerie for women — applies throughout the venue; first-timers are permitted to start the evening in street clothes at the bar. Secure clothing lockers and shower facilities are available. Themed Friday evenings rotate across SM/Fetish Play parties, Gangbang nights, and Bi Fabulous events, the latter restricted to women and bisexual men with heterosexual single men excluded. The club is open daily. Weekday daytime sessions run Monday and Tuesday 12:00–17:30 (couples €40, women/T-girls €15, men €92.50) and Thursday 13:00–21:30 (couples €72.50, women/T-girls €35, men €120). Wednesday extends to 23:30 with tiered pricing: couples €92.50 full day, dropping to €60 after 19:00. Fridays run 13:00–02:30 at €110 per couple, or from 21:00 on the first Friday of each month. Saturdays are evening-only, 21:00–04:30, with couples at €92.50. Sunday afternoons (15:00–21:30) admit couples and women free of charge against a minimum bar spend of €35 and €20 respectively. Single men may attend every session but must hold a prior reservation; walk-ins are turned away without exception. No admittance is given after 02:00.

Pineapples Lifestyle Bar

South Melbourne, Victoria

On-Premise Club

Pineapples Lifestyle Bar occupies a two-storey building at 427 City Rd in South Melbourne's Montague Precinct, between York and Ferrars streets. Opened in August 2025 after the City of Port Phillip approved the venue 5–3 in June 2024 following a VCAT challenge by local residents, it holds a sex-on-premises permit and accommodates up to 200 patrons. It operates as a licensed adult lifestyle bar welcoming couples, solo women, and a restricted cohort of vetted solo men, positioning itself as a consent-focused environment for adult social exploration within the swinger, queer, LGBTQ+, and kink communities. The ground floor contains a licensed full-service bar and a performance stage used for live music, DJ sets, comedy, cabaret, and burlesque, with the format rotating by night. The upper floor is reserved for intimate activity and houses open play areas, private lockable rooms, bathrooms, unisex showers, and a VIP section. Refresh stations supply towels, condoms, lubricant, massage oil, and sanitary items throughout. Guests receive colour-coded wristbands indicating couple, solo-female, solo-male, or prefer-not-to-be-approached status; a black wristband signals a wish to decline physical advances. Volunteer consent angels circulate the floor to support guests. Complimentary all-night parking is available in front of the venue from 6 pm, and lockers are provided on an AUD$20 security deposit or credit-card/ID-hold basis. The club operates three nights per week: Thursdays 7 pm–midnight, Fridays 8 pm–2 am, and Saturdays 8 pm–2 am. Tickets must be purchased online in advance — walk-ins are never admitted. All first-time visitors must submit a membership application and complete a phone vetting call before any ticket purchase; solo males face an additional written questionnaire and in-person interview, and operate under a one-strike permanent-removal policy. Standard nights begin at AUD$20. Valid government-issued photo ID is required at the door. Phones and cameras must be secured in on-site lockers before entering the upper floor. The arrival dress code is smart-casual; upper-floor access requires dressing to lingerie, underwear, a provided towel, or bare skin. No outside alcohol is permitted, and a zero-tolerance drugs policy applies.

Pleasure2gether

Sittard, Limburg

swingers_club

Pleasure2gether sits on Leyenbroekerweg in Sittard, in the southern Dutch province of Limburg, and bills itself as ‘Limburgs sfeervolste parenclub’ — Limburg’s most atmospheric couples club. Run by Hans and Hester, the venue welcomes couples (heterosexual and bisexual alike), single men, and single women, with a minimum entry age of 21. Ample parking is available on site. The facilities lean toward comfort rather than clinical club décor: a bar stocked with beverages and running current music, large relaxation areas, a dedicated smoking room, an infrared sauna, a hot tub (bubbelbad), and massage services offered with a range of oils including body-to-body options. A varied buffet accompanies Friday and Saturday evening parties. The tone is intentionally homey — more lounge than nightclub — and the crowd spans a broad mix of regulars and newcomers. Programming follows a rotating schedule published weekly on the club’s own website. Regular fixtures include erotic parties on Friday and Saturday evenings (20:00–01:00), massage and themed evenings on Wednesdays (18:00–22:00), and men’s afternoon parties on Mondays (13:00–17:00). Periodic fixtures include a dedicated MILF evening on the second Friday of the month and a BDSM evening on the third Tuesday (20:00–01:00). Entry is all-inclusive, covering access to all facilities; payment is cash only.

PLUR Productions / Studio PLUR

Vancouver, British Columbia

Event Organizer

PLUR Productions describes itself as “a SEX+/ SOP Event production company” with the mission “Peace, Love, Unity, Respect.” It runs sex-on-premise events in Vancouver at affiliated venues. It is a private club where the door fee makes each guest a member for the day, and yearly memberships are also available. Studio PLUR is a separate bookable studio and dungeon space. Events have clearly marked play areas, lounge areas for conversation where sex is not allowed, a co-ed personal area with free lockers, bar snacks, and towels, condoms and lubricant, with a full bar at nights such as Vantanior. Some nights add a dungeon. Studio PLUR holds up to 40 guests and has a corner bar with a fridge, a lounge, an aftercare space, a DJ sound stage, a floor cage, a St. Andrews cross, stylized benches and rope-suspension hard points. Single men are always welcome, and the club says it welcomes all orientations and gender identities at the same admission fee. Guests must be 19 or older. Cupids brief every guest on the Top Ten Rules of Consent at the door, and all activity must be consensual. Open photography and video, including cell phones, are not allowed. Newcomers can attend the iCandy meet-and-mingle night on the second Friday of each month, which includes a venue tour and a presentation on club etiquette and the lifestyle.

PolyUrban Studios

Carmichael, CA

PolyUrban Studios is a home-based adult lifestyle space on North Avenue in Carmichael, California, run by owner Rey and open to singles, couples, and polycules of all orientations. The venue operates as a donation-funded club with lockers, showers, a hot tub, beds, a sling, play benches, a massage table, a rimming chair, gloryholes, and an outdoor play area with a separate shower. Towels, condoms, and lube are provided, and fetish wear is welcomed. The weekly calendar runs seven days: Sunday through Thursday the doors open at 11:30 a.m. and close at 10 p.m., while Friday and Saturday sessions run from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. Themed parties rotate through the week — Sunday gloryhole and gangbang sessions, Monday-through-Thursday afternoon playdates, a Wednesday evening afterparty, a Thursday couples night, Freaky Friday parties, and Saturday dance nights with a DJ and a full bar on select evenings.

Guests must be 18 or older, and drugs and prostitution are strictly prohibited. Contact is by text or voicemail at (916) 410-6550.

Probe Ottawa

Ottawa, Ontario

On-Premise Club

Probe Ottawa describes itself as “a queer-owned and operated space centered around consensual exploration and connection”. It is an on-premise private members club in the Byward Market, on the 3rd and 4th floors of 41 York St, and it opens only when an event is scheduled. The 4th floor is an open dungeon with a custom suspension frame, a loft and a kitchen; the 3rd floor has rooms for smaller groups and private play. The club also has showers, a medical room and a play-free aftercare room, and provides linens, cleaning supplies and free condoms. The venue has elevator and wheelchair access. Recurring nights include play parties, rope-themed parties, classes, discussion and support groups, and drop-in nights such as Geeky & Kinky. The club welcomes individuals of all sexual orientations, genders and identities. Play parties require a membership, which can be bought online or at the door, while the drop-in Geeky & Kinky night needs none; first-time members must arrive within the first two hours of a play party. There is no bar and no alcohol for sale, BYOB is not allowed, and some events set a dress theme, with no culturally appropriating attire at any. Consent is the foundation of all interactions, safe words are mandatory, dungeon monitors may interrupt any scene, and photos need a monitor's permission and everyone's consent.

Quest Swingers Club

Leeds, West Yorkshire

Private members' society

Quest Swingers Club is a private members' society on Low Road in the Hunslet district of south Leeds, founded by couple Jo and Dave — who began hosting lifestyle parties from home in 1999 — and formally opened in November 2001. Now in its third decade, the club accommodates up to 200 guests per session and welcomes open-minded couples and singles aged 21 and over. Its programme spans mainstream swinging nights, dedicated bisexual evenings, events for T-Girls, cross-dressers and their admirers, fetish and kink sessions, and a calendar of themed costume parties, making it one of the more programmatically diverse clubs in West Yorkshire. The venue is arranged around a main social lounge, a licensed bar, the Red Room, and a Jacuzzi Lounge. The wet area houses an eight-person hot tub, hot-and-cold showers, a sauna, and a steam room; sexual activity in the hot tub is explicitly prohibited. Dungeon equipment is available on site, and member reviews cite a cinema room as a popular feature. Separate spacious changing facilities serve all genders and lockers are provided. An on-site car park screened from the road offers convenient private access. The layout is largely wheelchair-navigable: corridors are wide and an accessible restroom is available. Staff walk new visitors through the venue before each session, and every night opens as a social gathering, with anything further governed entirely by individual consent. Sessions run six days a week. Daytime sessions — Wednesday Afternoon Fun (11:00–18:00), Friday Afternoon Fun (11:00–18:00), and Funday Sunday (13:00–22:00) — are open to non-members and priced at £15 per couple, £10 for single females, and £25 for single males. Bi Tuesdays (11:00–23:00) and Thursday Afternoon (T-Girls, CDs & Admirers, 11:00–18:00) are also open to non-members at equivalent rates. The members-only Midweek Chill Night (Wednesday evenings, 19:00–23:00) is £20 per couple, £10 for single females, and £30 for single males. Alternate-Saturday M&N Party Nights (20:30–02:00) are members-only at around £30 per couple and £30–35 for single males. Membership costs £10 for couples, £5 for ladies, and £25 for single males. All visitors must present valid physical photo ID; digital copies are not accepted. Mobile phones, cameras, and recording devices must be switched off and kept out of sight throughout a visit.

On-Premise Club

R3tro Club was a lifestyle venue at 33 Midland Road in Walsall, West Midlands, billing itself as 'The Midlands Premier Adult Venue' and a club 'for the liberated generation.' The premises at WS1 3QQ have been in use since at least August 2009, when the club relocated from an earlier site. Its current operating status is unconfirmed: the registered company R3TRO CLUB LIMITED was dissolved in August 2013, the club's own domain has since been taken over by an unrelated gambling affiliate, and the most recent independently verifiable third-party reviews date from January 2019. The venue was purpose-built for the lifestyle scene, with eight private playrooms alongside communal play areas, a jacuzzi with side seating, a games area with pool table and sofas, a separate chill-out room, changing rooms with private lockers, a double unisex shower area, a smoking area, and a refreshment zone. The policy was bring-your-own-drink, with soft drinks and snacks available on site. Third-party reviewers from 2012 through 2019 consistently described the interior as clean and well-maintained, with the exterior drawing occasional comments about its appearance. The atmosphere was described across multiple sources as warm and inclusive, with the club particularly noted for welcoming trans guests through its recurring Taboo Unleashed nights. Other events included greedy girls parties and fetish evenings.

Ragazza Club

Rehlingen-Siersburg, Saarland

On-Premise Club

Ragazza Club occupies a 650-square-metre industrial unit on the quiet Dürrfeldslach estate on the edge of Rehlingen-Siersburg — reached from junction 7 of the A8, past the Aral station and the Aldi, then right into the street where the club takes the second-to-last building on the left. The interior spans two floors and ten play areas: a full-service bar and hot-and-cold buffet room sets a sociable, unhurried tone at ground level, with a cuddle corner, a dedicated couples' zone, a whirlpool, a sauna, a lockable private play room, a BDSM area, a darkroom, and three love swings fanning out across the two floors. Ample parking — including bays sized for campervans and motorhomes — reflects the fact that the Ragazza draws visitors from across the Saarland and has been described by Saarbrücker Zeitung as one of the largest swinger meeting points in the region. Owner Carina Kemmerling runs the club under a self-described 's3xpositive' philosophy: sex is treated as something natural and consensual, professional sex workers are explicitly prohibited, and the house tone leans firmly toward community rather than commerce. All entry is all-inclusive — drinks, the buffet, sauna and whirlpool access, hygiene supplies, condoms, and unlimited towels are folded into the admission price, and lockable lockers take care of valuables. First-time visitors are walked through a guided tour and orientation before the evening gets going; the team draws consistent praise in reviews for a family-like welcome, and the club offers private rental of the full venue for groups wanting the space to themselves. The club opens every day of the week. Monday-to-Thursday afternoon sessions (14:00–21:00) keep things quieter and are available for private hire, while the main weekend nights run Friday 16:00–02:00 and Saturday 16:00–03:00; Sunday follows the weekday pattern (14:00–21:00). Admission starts from €15 for women, €60 for men and couples, with LGBTQIA+ guests priced by their identified gender and same-sex couples at the couple rate. Pre-registration is recommended, though same-day entry is possible subject to capacity. The dress code runs smart-casual for men and erotic-leaning for women — lingerie, dresses, or heels; street shoes are not permitted inside the venue.

Reel One Indy

Indianapolis, IN

On-Premise Club

Reel One Indy describes itself as “a private club available to members and guests” and as a lifestyle club in Indianapolis. Its site calls it female owned and says it has operated in the same location since 1992 on three floors. Couples, single men and single women are admitted, all 21 or older. The club names a lobby, a patio that is out of public view, pull-out couches on the main and bottom floors, a theater room in the basement, lofts by the pool table, a locker room, phone lockers and overnight rooms, with designated smoking and vaping areas. Overnight rooms are first come, first served, with couples and single women given priority and no top-floor overnight rooms for single men. Guests pay only the door fee for their first two visits; after that an active membership is required, and membership applications need at least two full-size photos and the club reserves the right to select members. The club does not sell or serve alcohol, but guests may bring their own, labeled with their name. Clothing is required in the lobby and outside, and phones, smart watches, cameras and recording equipment are not allowed inside. Guests must show valid physical ID, are scanned by a metal detector at every entry, and cannot re-enter after 3am. Drugs, weapons and prostitution are banned.

Refugium Swingerclub

Neumünster, Schleswig-Holstein

On-Premise Club

Refugium Swing & Dance sits on Krokamp 64 in the commercial outskirts of Neumünster, Schleswig-Holstein — an unglamorous address that gives nothing away about the modern lounge-bar world behind the door. Owner Marco Marien designed the club as a deliberate departure from red-velvet clichés: the palette runs to deep green and anthracite, the lighting is considered, and the 500-capacity interior divides into distinct zones that read more like a design-conscious nightclub than a backroom. At its centre is a dance floor anchored by an actual ceiling swing and a DJ booth; off to one side, a well-stocked bar and a separate English-style smoking room keep the social energy moving; scattered throughout are sofa lounge areas where guests talk, watch, and warm up at their own pace. The play rooms — two discreetly positioned and thematically designed spaces — sit well removed from the social areas, alongside a Séparée that doubles as an erotic cinema. Hygiene is taken visibly seriously: towels, disinfectant, condoms, mouthwash, and disposable toothbrushes are stationed throughout, and the venue's barrier-free showers and toilets make it fully accessible to wheelchair users. In warmer months, a 1,000-square-metre outdoor terrace opens up, adding a pool, whirlpool, TikiBar, BBQ station, and a second play area to the mix. The club runs regular themed evenings, seasonal parties, and — every four to six weeks — a free newcomer orientation session at 18:00, before normal doors, with no registration required. Admission is structured around an all-in price covering entry, buffet, premium beverages, and the wardrobe service: €50 in advance, €60 on the door; women enter at €25 and couples at €50. Solo male pricing is set separately and higher as a deliberate tool to keep the gender ratio balanced. Dress code is enforced at the entrance — men in dark long trousers (blue jeans excluded), a plain solid-colour shirt, and proper shoes; women in stylish rather than everyday attire. Once inside, phones and cameras are banned in public areas, and explicit consent is required for all contact; staff are trained to recognise genuine distress. Drugs, solicitation, and any harassment carry an immediate house ban.

RIOT Party UK

London, London

Event Organizer

Riot Party UK describes itself as “a multi-genre, queer, sex-positive rave with activism at its core.” It is an event series led by people of color and sex workers, with parties in London, Manchester and Bristol; the London dates on its events page are at Electrowerkz and fall on Sundays. Beyond the dance floor, the events feature “fully equipped and monitored play spaces”, workshops, exhibitions, performances and places to socialize, with line-ups blending Dancehall, Afrobeats, House, UKG and Strip Hop. Every party venue has a changing room and cloakroom, and a trained safeguarding team in LED armbands is on hand. Guests are encouraged to bring their own toys, as none are provided; play is welcome, including shibari, but scat, watersports, blood play and fire play are not allowed. People of all gender and sexual identities who follow the rules are welcome, and the club says it centers “people of colour, sex workers and the LGBTQ+ community”. Entry is 18+ with physical ID, every guest completes a consent form, and fetishwear or expressive alternative fashion is required. Photography and video are banned, phones are not allowed in play areas, and play needs an enthusiastic yes.

Event Organizer

Riposte uses the tagline “Queer ~ Art ~ Techno” and describes its events as “Art-Raves showcasing artists part of the LGBTQIA+ community (and sometimes allies)”. It is a London event organizer: its raves take over existing venues, Electrowerkz in Islington and The Cause, and are ticketed through Resident Advisor. Its listed nights fall on Fridays, and the next listed one runs from late evening into the early morning. According to its Resident Advisor page, its events are multi-room: multiple dance floors with more than 10 DJs, a dedicated performance room with roaming performances and avant-garde acts, installations and workshops by artists, market stalls, and what it calls “a sex-positive play space”. Some editions carry a theme, and the club says the dance floor is kept for music, so art installations are generally not hosted there. Entry is 18 and over, with tickets sold through Resident Advisor. The club's open-call document describes the night as “Made by queers, with queers, for queers”, says it has “dedicated sex-positive spaces with a strong culture of consent and respect”, and says sober guests are welcome: “You can have fun sober if you choose to.” The same document lists a welfare coordinator among its curators and expects around 800 people at an event.

Risque Vegas Estate

Las Vegas, NV

Risque Estate is a private, members-only lifestyle venue set within a residential property in the Paradise neighborhood of Las Vegas, just minutes from the Strip. Established in 2014, the estate operates as an on-premise swingers club hosting clothing-optional parties Wednesday through Sunday, welcoming couples, singles, and LGBTQ guests aged 21 and over in a BYOB format with snacks and mixers provided. The grounds center on a resort-style heated pool kept at 90 degrees year-round, surrounded by spacious poolside cabanas and block-walled areas for nude sunbathing. Inside, guests find multiple private playrooms, a large group room, a game room with a cheetah-felt pool table, a dance floor with a stripper pole, and a custom Harley-Davidson fitted with a built-in Sybian. Risque Estate emphasizes discretion with secure off-street parking and a membership structure included in the door donation. The estate provides lockers, clean showers, and ample cooler space, while guests are asked to bring their own towels, locks, and beverages. The venue regularly hosts themed events listed through its website and social channels.

Route 69

Weston-super-Mare, Somerset

On-Premise Club

Route 69 occupies a basement space on the High Street in central Weston-super-Mare, Somerset — a long-running licensed lifestyle venue that bills itself as the South West's Friendliest Adult Club. The venue operates on a deliberately compact model, non-pushy in its approach, with staff who personally walk first-time visitors around the space before the evening gets under way. It welcomes straight and LGBT+ guests alike and pitches its atmosphere firmly on the social side of the spectrum. The venue is arranged around a lounge with a fully licensed bar, three lockable playrooms — one of which incorporates a gloryhole with a coverable viewing window — and a dungeon equipped with a St Andrew's Cross, a play swing, and stocks. Lockers are available on a key-swap system, and a heated, covered outdoor smoking area sits at the rear of the building. Towels, lube, wipes and condoms are stocked in every playroom; cock rings and wax candles are available at the bar. CCTV covers the social areas, though there are no showers on site. Themed nights — Greedy Girls evenings, BDSM nights, bi nights and monthly special parties — run through the calendar alongside regular weekly sessions. The club operates sessions on Fridays and Saturdays from 20:00 to 02:00, and Sundays from 14:00 to 22:00; last entry is two hours before closing in all cases. All entry requires advance booking through Eventbrite; the venue no longer accepts walk-ins or phone bookings. The minimum age is 25. Single-male attendance is permitted but numbers are capped per session, and early booking is advised. Entry pricing on Fridays and Saturdays is £35 for single men, £25 for couples, £15 for TS/TV guests, and £10 for single women; Sunday rates are exactly half.

Sameplace

Amsterdam, Noord-Holland

swingers_club

Sameplace is an erotic café and adult lifestyle venue at Nassaukade 120 on the western fringe of Amsterdam's Westerpark neighbourhood, a short tram ride from the city centre. Open since the mid-1990s, it markets itself as Amsterdam's premier female-friendly erotic café and draws a genuinely mixed crowd — straight couples, gay men, single women, and on most nights single men as well. The premises run across two floors plus a basement. A U-shaped bar with booth seating anchors the ground floor; upstairs, a dance floor operates with a resident DJ on busier evenings. The basement holds the harder-edged spaces: a dungeon fitted with a sex swing and a sex chair, BDSM equipment, and a dark room. A changing room with lockers and towels is available. The programme of themed nights is central to the club's identity: regular rotation includes BDSM Pure evenings, fetish-dress nights with enforced dress code, a Shamelessly Naked party, a T&T night, bisexual and trans nights, costume parties, and a monthly fistfuck event on the fourth Sunday. One evening each week is reserved for gay men only. Staff meet guests at the door and walk newcomers through the space; a strict consent policy is actively enforced — visitors report that a firm refusal from any patron is respected without negotiation. The venue is open Tuesday through Thursday from 21:00 to 02:00, Friday and Saturday from 21:00 to 03:00, and Sunday in two sessions: 15:00–21:00 (couples only) and 22:00–03:00; the club is closed on Mondays. Entry is via a doorbell; there is no street queue. Entry fees vary by event and themed night. The venue is cash-only — no card payments are accepted. Dress codes are enforced on fetish and specialist nights; casual attire is acceptable on standard evenings. Nudity is permitted throughout the venue.

Sauna Azzurra sits on Van Heemstraweg on the edge of Beuningen, a small Gelderland municipality a short drive west of Nijmegen. It operates as both a gay sauna and an erotic lifestyle venue, rotating between men-only days and days open to mixed-gender couples and singles. The building contains two Finnish saunas each sized for up to six people, a combined hammam and steam sauna, and a communal shower area with roughly eight hot tubs, two of which are bookable privately. Beyond the wet facilities there is a dedicated cruise circuit, dark rooms, open mattress areas, and lockable private cabins. A video lounge, a bar serving food, and an outdoor terrace with sun loungers complete the space, with free parking on site. Condoms are provided throughout; complimentary soup is offered on Sundays. Outside food and drink are not permitted. The programme divides the week by clientele type: Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays are men-only gay days; Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are open to mixed couples and singles; Thursdays are reserved for couples only. Exact opening and closing times should be confirmed directly with the venue before visiting, as third-party sources conflict. Admission prices, per a third-party source that may not reflect current tariffs, are €30 for a single man and €50 for a couple on gay days, and €46.50 for single visitors and €50 per couple on mixed days; a six-visit card is also available. Entry is strictly 18 and over; valid ID is required at the door.

Saunabar Bournemouth

Bournemouth, Dorset

Gay Sauna

Saunabar Bournemouth describes itself as “a traditional gay male sauna” and sits “in the heart of the Triangle” at 140 Commercial Road, open seven days a week. Its events page says the venue has been running swingers nights for over 10 years under various party names and that it is launching its own Bournemouth Swingers Club, alongside other themed evening parties. The daytime venue has spa facilities with a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and showers, private rest areas, a “cosy lounge” with sofas and free Wi-Fi, and a fully licensed bar serving food, alcoholic and soft drinks. Massage from an on-site masseur is offered daily, and free condoms and sachet lube are available at the bar. Recurring touches include towel-free Wednesdays and a Sunday offer for under-30s (ID required), and selected Friday and Saturday nights bring themed parties such as a monthly trans and admirers night, a monthly leather and fetish-gear night and kink-friendly socials. Most guests wear a towel or less, and swimwear is welcome. The day sauna is for men, while the weekly Wednesday-evening swingers social needs no booking and is paid for at the door, and the monthly Xplore night on the fourth Saturday says all are welcome, whatever sex, gender or orientation. Evening events are ticketed separately and mostly run by outside promoters, so staying on from the day sauna means paying for both. Smoking is outside the side entrance (dressing gowns at reception), with vaping allowed in the lounge.

Secrets at Flamingos

Mansfield, Nottinghamshire

On-Premise Club

Secrets at Flamingos is a boutique lifestyle club occupying a purpose-fitted licensed venue on Broxtowe Drive in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Founded and run by a team with years of personal experience in the lifestyle scene — and a track record of visiting clubs across the country before opening their own — the club sets out to be something more considered than the average venue. Their premises licence covers a broad range of events, from swing parties with a fully open play area to social-only gatherings, with all adult events running on a ticket-only basis as required by the licence. The venue is centred on a fully licensed bar stocked with draught beers, wines, soft drinks, teas, coffees and the house-signature Flamingos Cocktails. Alongside the bar is a large, open playroom fitted with beds of varying sizes and dedicated private spaces for more discreet encounters. Practical amenities are covered as standard: separate male and female bathrooms, a changing room with lockable lockers, and towels provided to every guest. The events programme includes regular couples-and-single-ladies nights and party nights with the play area open; naturist events have also been hosted under the same roof. First-timers are met at the door by one of the club's hosts, who will walk them through the space and make introductions — an explicit part of the welcome process. Management is firm about maintaining an inclusive environment: cliquish behaviour is not tolerated, and the stated goal is a community built on respect and freedom from prejudice. Private hire is available seven days a week and can be configured with or without the play area, making the venue available for adult birthday parties and lifestyle events alike.
