The Sanctuary (Tabu Swingers Sanctuary)

Lansing, MI

Alternative Lifestyle Lounge

Club Tabu, operating its social nights under the name "The Sanctuary," is an adults-only alternative lifestyle lounge located within Fantasies Unlimited, an adult retail store at 3208 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Lansing, Michigan. Despite carrying "swingers" in its social-media name, the venue's own site describes it as rooted in the LGBTQ+ community and states plainly that "the club is not structured as a traditional swingers venue," with its primary audience being gay, bi, trans, and gender-diverse guests, though it says it welcomes respectful guests of other identities. The space centers on a large, deliberately dark and winding maze of pathways and walls, along with private booths, a changing area with lockers, and common social areas. The atmosphere is described as sex-positive and kink-aware, with an emphasis on privacy, discretion, and guest-controlled pacing of interaction; a 2022 news investigation into the venue also referenced a glory-hole setup and a television area used for adult video viewing. Entry requires being 18+ with valid ID, and membership dues are collected per event night rather than as an ongoing membership. Patrons enter through the Fantasies Unlimited retail storefront and must tell the store clerk they are attending Club Tabu/The Sanctuary. House rules prohibit cameras and phone/recording devices inside the event space, restrict sexual activity to designated private areas, and ban loitering in parking lots or common areas; illegal drugs and disrespectful, non-consensual, or aggressive behavior result in immediate removal.

The Warehouse

Caldwell, ID

Social Club

The Warehouse — known to regulars as TW — is Treasure Valley's only private lifestyle social club catering to both the kink and swinger communities. Operated by AOK Collective Inc, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the club relocated to its current Caldwell location, off the 10th Avenue exit, in April 2026. In keeping with its private, members-only model, the venue address is never posted publicly; it is shared exclusively via confirmation email with vetted members after they complete the online membership and vetting process. The space runs across multiple levels. The main floor holds a social area and kitchen with complimentary finger foods; an enclosed breezeway is fitted with couches, a dance floor, and a staffed Rendezvous Bar — BYOB, with an optional $20-per-couple bar service where the bartender stores and pours your drinks — and a live DJ who takes requests throughout the night. Upstairs are two VIP cabana rooms (the Playboy Bunny Room with three cabanas and the City Loft Room with four) alongside a large open play area with four queen beds. The lower level contains a stripper pole room and a sex-positive room with five open play queen beds. A dedicated dungeon — outfitted with dual crosses, two fire stations, two impact benches, and a massage table — is active on Debauchery Nights and closed on Pineapple Nights. The club operates three Saturdays per month, 8pm to 2am (7:30pm for VIP and Platinum members). Events alternate between two formats: Debauchery Nights blend kink and swinger play with a fully operational dungeon and optional scenes led by service tops; Pineapple Nights are swinger-focused with a wristband system signaling voyeur, social, or play intentions. Annual membership is $20 per person; per-event entry is a tiered donation of $30 per person if paid by 10pm the night before, or $40 at the door. An optional Platinum membership ($350 per couple or single-plus-one per year) adds early entry, discounted tickets, long-term alcohol storage, and a Rendezvous Bar upgrade. Attendance runs 150 to 200-plus on Pineapple Nights and 250-plus on Debauchery Nights, with an age range spanning 18 to 75.

Club Labyrinth LA (Hollywood)

Closed

Hollywood, CA

On-Premise Club

Club Labyrinth LA, the Hollywood outpost of the multi-city Labyrinth swinger club brand (alongside locations in Midtown Manhattan and New Jersey), is currently closed. As of the club's own website, the Labyrinth LA events page reads "LABYRINTH LA IS CURRENTLY CLOSED — NEW LOCATION COMING SOON," directing inquiries to info@clublabyrinthla.com and inviting visitors to join a mailing list for updates. No reopening date or new address has been announced. Before closing, the club operated as a members-only, on-premise swinger and fetish venue out of an undisclosed, secluded building in Hollywood. The former space was spread across multiple levels and included group playrooms, semi-private play areas, lounge areas, individual play stations, and a dedicated BDSM play space, alongside a cigarette-smoking area and a complimentary refreshment bar serving soda, juice, water, cups, and ice. The club supplied lockers, condoms, lubricant, and towels, and described its atmosphere as dark, sexually charged, and sensual, welcoming both exhibitionists and voyeurs in a setting it billed as safe, non-judgmental, and low-pressure — guests were never required to participate. Before closing, entry required a paid Labyrinth membership (12-month for $40, 6-month for $30, or 1-week for $20), purchased online in advance, plus a nightly admission fee that varied by night and guest type. Single men needed photo verification or sponsorship by a member couple and paid a premium to help balance gender ratios, while couples were required to arrive and leave together. The club did not sell alcohol — events were BYOB with a one-bottle (or six-pack) limit per membership and a $20 surcharge — and photo ID (driver's license, government ID, or passport) was mandatory at the door.

HUNTER

London, London

On-Premise Club

HUNTER is a monthly gay leather and fetish night established in 2023, held at Electrowerkz — a nineteenth-century warehouse at 7 Torrens Street in Angel, Islington (EC1V 1NQ). Founded by LeatherDaddy Brew Hunter and co-promoter DJ Scott Steele, the event was named Best Party Concept at the X-Awards 2026 (Darklands, Antwerp) and maintains an uncompromisingly male-to-male and hardcore-play focus. The venue is divided into a progression of dedicated zones. The Foreplay Bar serves as the main DJ stage and hosts the opening Foreplay Happy Hour from 20:00; the Cigar Yard, an outdoor smoking area, opens with the doors. Brew's Bar offers a premium drinks selection on a card-only basis. The Dark Zone and Rawhide Cruising Alley form the play core, supplemented by Cottaging Toilets and a Masters Circle centre-stage platform where Doms and Daddies present and work with their submissives in full view. A Punish.Men.T Corner rounds out the dungeon architecture. The KinXX Gallery rotates monthly fetish art installations and doubles as the venue for Fetish Academy workshops. A Berlin Porno Kino screens across the night, and a professional bootblack service is on hand for boot and gear shining. Full changing facilities and bag storage are provided. The night runs on the third Friday of each month, 20:00 to 03:00, with last entry at 01:30. Brew Hunter hosts a Meat & Greet from 20:30; DJ Steele takes the decks at 21:00; Fetish Academy workshop sessions begin at 21:15; and the hardcore zones formally open at 22:00. The event is strictly 18+ and male-focused. Dress code is enforced at the cloakroom exit and covers leather (boots, harnesses, vests, chaps, motorcycle jackets), rubber, neoprene, and skin or scally-themed fetish wear, as well as K9 gear presented with a handler. Police and military uniforms — real or replica — all sportswear, streetwear, denim, and near-naked appearances are prohibited. Advance tickets are available but do not guarantee entry: the dress code check at the cloakroom gate is final.

Event Organizer

New Paradise Club occupies Hathern House on Rempstone Road in Normanton on Soar, a quiet rural village in Leicestershire roughly equidistant between Loughborough and the A60. The club is a swingers and lifestyle venue that operates under an annual membership model and bills itself as a friendly, welcoming environment for couples and singles alike. The club runs regular themed party nights across a five-day weekly schedule: Wednesday and Thursday evenings (7pm–midnight), Friday and Saturday nights (7pm–3am), and Sunday afternoons (2pm–10pm). Dedicated bi nights and TV/admirers nights are among the event formats the club has advertised. The venue has also publicised the addition of a 20-person hot tub among its facilities. Prospective visitors are advised to contact the club directly via newparadiseclub.co.uk or on 07963 239838 for current entry prices, booking requirements, and house rules.

The Edmonton O Society (EOS) is an unincorporated, non-profit society serving Edmonton, Alberta’s erotic BDSM community. Members and guests gather twice monthly in a casual, non-judgmental setting to share company, conversation, and mutual learning about consensual erotic expression. Membership is open to adults of all genders, orientations, and relationship structures — singles and couples alike — who approach the community in good faith and with a genuine interest in BDSM. The organization anchors itself to the National Leather Association’s foundational credo: Safe, Sane, and Consensual. Beyond the regular social evenings, the EOS runs a programme of workshops covering safety and health practices, skill development, and hands-on sessions such as toy-building. Paying members also gain access to an in-house lending library stocked with books, DVDs, tapes, and other instructional materials spanning the full range of BDSM and alternative lifestyle topics, as well as discounted admission to workshop events. The EOS is explicit that it is not a swinger club, dating service, escort agency, or voyeuristic venue — its purpose is education and community-building within a consensual adult context. Events are held in private or semi-private settings rather than a fixed commercial space; venue details are shared with verified members, consistent with the privacy norms of community-run BDSM societies.

Birdhaus

Toronto, Ontario

Birdhaus is a BDSM, kink, and alternative arts event space tucked behind the big pink building at 1233R Queen Street West in Toronto's Parkdale neighbourhood. Co-owned by Miranda and Tifereth — veteran producers and performers in both the local and international alternative arts scenes — the venue opened in 2021 in the Entertainment District before relocating to Liberty Village and then expanding to its current home in 2024. The space carries roughly a century of building history and has been transformed into what the owners describe as an intimate venue for the city's avant-garde. The 2024 expansion brought a licensed bar and cocktail program alongside a significantly broader events calendar. The venue operates as a multi-use space: in-house produced events share the calendar with third-party producers including Sex Positive World, Bound Together, and BIPOC Babes. A dedicated rope education program — described on the site as inclusive, creative, comprehensive — is led by Tifereth and a team of resident educators, covering everything from beginner bondage to aerial partials and self-suspension. Weekly Tinker Tuesday sessions (Tuesdays, 19:00–23:00) serve as open rope practice jams, while structured classes and workshops run throughout the month. Private tuition is also available through individual instructors. Flagship evening events include Voyeur, a monthly cabaret and BDSM play party running 21:00–03:00 with per-person tickets priced at $50–$100 CAD, and Sweat, a leather and latex fetish party running roughly 21:30–02:30 at $30–$45 CAD per person. The calendar also features Smutty Storytelling open-mic nights, film screenings, community socials, and themed one-off events. All events are 19+ and ticketed in advance through the Birdhaus website — walk-ins are not accepted. Dress code for play parties requires fetish attire and prohibits street wear including T-shirts, jeans, and runners.

Club Safe Word is a members-only lifestyle club serving San Diego's swinging and non-monogamous community, welcoming individuals and couples of all genders and orientations. Rather than operating from a single standing venue, the club runs as an event-based membership community, holding its gatherings at rented spaces that change from event to event -- an approach reflected in a 2026 event listing tagged as a new location for the San Diego area. Programming is split into two tiers: non-play meet and greet socials designed to help newcomers get acquainted with the community, and separate, more explicit private events for members exploring further. New members are encouraged, though not required, to attend a meet-and-greet before a private event, regardless of prior experience. The club's ethos centers on consent and discretion, with members expected to remain respectful and civil and to report any consent violations to the event host or directly to club management. Site membership is optional and separate from event admission, with tiers priced from $11.49 per month (auto-renewing) up to $80.47 for a full year. Admission to individual events is ticketed per person and varies by event, with single women typically admitted free and couples and single men paying a door price that changes from gathering to gathering. Contact for the club is handled by email at info@clubsafeword.com; the club has not published a formal dress code or check-in procedure.

Rio's Naturist Spa

London, London

Nudist Resort

Rio's bills itself as "London's Leading Naturist Health Spa," a purpose-built basement retreat on Kentish Town Road that its own site says has been "established for over 20 years." The pitch is unambiguous: it is a spa "for liberated people aged 21+ where you can enjoy the company of likeminded adults," open seven days and six nights a week. The venue sits a one-minute walk from Kentish Town Underground (Northern line) — "two doors past the Abbey National building" — and represents what the operators describe as a "multi million pound investment." Behind the discreet frontage is a warren of wet and dry heat. The spa lists two steam rooms (three in total), two sauna cabins, three large Jacuzzis and a plunge pool. Around the heat, guests get a relaxation area with tea, coffee and soft drinks, a television lounge, "a host of relaxation rooms," and an outdoor garden the site advertises as being "for that all over tan." The underground complex was refurbished after a 2016 fire and is widely cited as around 20,000 sq ft of facilities. Rio's runs on a "pay as you use" basis — as the site puts it, "You don't have to be a member... or even be a regular visitor." Single admission is £34 and mixed couples £40. It opens daily at noon; Monday to Wednesday and Sunday it closes the same evening (last entry 8–10pm), while Thursday, Friday and Saturday it stays open all night until 7am. One firm house rule stands out: on Saturdays, admission between 6pm and midnight is strictly mixed couples only. Pay-and-display parking is available on weekdays, with free parking to the front and back of the building at weekends.

SOP Lifestyle Productions

Vancouver, British Columbia

Event Organizer

SOP Lifestyle Productions — where the acronym stands for Swinger, Open, Poly — is a Vancouver, British Columbia-based event production company founded and run by Ying Ying Lee. Rather than operating a fixed venue, SOP produces lifestyle-oriented hotel takeovers, cruises, resort trips, and curated travel experiences for the open-minded adult community. The organisation welcomes singles, couples, and people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds; its attendee demographic typically spans the mid-20s to mid-60s, with the majority in their 30s to 50s, and draws participants from across Canada and the United States. SOP's flagship offering is the Winter Lifestyle Takeover (WLT), which began in 2010 and shifted to its current full-hotel-takeover format in 2012. It now runs annually in November at the 4-star Delta Whistler Village Suites in Whistler, BC, drawing around 350 attendees across a Friday-to-Monday weekend. The hotel pool deck, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, and a dedicated top-floor Play Floor stocked with theme rooms and playrooms form the centrepiece. A Spring Lifestyle Takeover (SLT) serves as a companion event, most recently held at the Mount Royal Hotel in Banff, AB. SOP also organises a Europe Lifestyle Takeover, a Tropical Lifestyle Takeover, group cruises on Virgin Voyages, and pop-up travel adventures. All takeovers are BYOB and follow a structured weekend rhythm: a Meet + Greet on the first evening, a dance party on the second night, and a cocktail party on the final night, alongside daytime seminars, workshops, and demonstrations. Ticketing operates via a tiered pricing structure with hotel packages bundling accommodation and a weekend pass. Payment may be made by e-transfer (Canada), Zelle (US), cheque, or credit card (5% service fee); weekend-pass-only options are available for local attendees. Hotel rooms must be booked through SOP directly rather than via the hotel. Advance booking is strongly advised, as events routinely sell out.

Cinema L'Amour

Montreal, Quebec

Adult Cinema

Cinema L'Amour is a family-owned adult movie theatre on Boulevard Saint-Laurent in Montreal's Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood — and one of North America's last continuously operating adult cinemas. The building opened in 1914 as Le Globe, a Beaux-Arts neighbourhood house that screened Yiddish films and hosted vaudeville for Montreal's then-thriving Jewish community along The Main. After operating as The Hollywood from 1932, it turned erotic in 1969 as The Pussycat, and took its current name on July 31, 1981, when distributor Ivan Koltai purchased it and applied the Cinema L'Amour brand from his Hull, Quebec operation. Now in its third generation under Devyn Koltai, the cinema has preserved the original horseshoe balcony, ornate plasterwork, Ionic columns, and classical ornamentation largely intact from its first century — making it not only one of the oldest continuously operating adult venues in Canada but one of the most architecturally notable. The main hall runs a rotating programme of adult films continuously from open to close, projected on a single large screen across an orchestra-level seating area of approximately 375 active seats. The lobby is lined with vintage pornographic poster art from a personal archive spanning the venue's entire run, many available for purchase. On the upper balcony, a couples-only VIP lounge — installed to mark the cinema's 20th anniversary under its current name — spans three viewing levels with two private booths, comfortable sofas, and ambient lighting looking out over the main screen below. Beyond adult programming, the cinema has hosted POP Montreal performances, fashion shows, film festivals, and music video shoots, including Charlotte Cardin's Daddy, cementing its dual role as both an adult venue and a genuine Montreal cultural institution. The venue is open every day from 11am to 11pm, with no advance booking required. General admission is CAD $17.00 for visitors 18 and over, or CAD $16.00 for seniors 65 and over; the VIP couples balcony is an additional CAD $55 per couple. Weekly promotions give couples free entry on Mondays and Tuesdays all day and Thursdays after 6pm. Wednesdays bring two new film presentations alongside a standing Trans Night welcoming the transgender and LGBTQ+ community every week. Fridays are dedicated to voyeurs, exhibitionists, and swingers; Saturdays carry a general party-night billing. An in-venue and online shop sells branded merchandise, vintage posters, and DVDs.

Hacienda

Brooklyn, NY

On-Premise Club

Rooted in Bushwick since 2009, Hacienda operates across multiple townhouses in Brooklyn's most creative neighborhood, functioning as both a members-only sex-positive club and an intentional living community. The flagship venue features multiple floors with distinct play areas, social lounges, a hot tub, indoor and outdoor spaces, and room for DJs and live performances. The crowd skews late twenties and thirties, draws a notably gender-balanced mix of couples, singles, and non-monogamous folk, and sets a tone that members describe as intimate rather than nightclub-loud. Access runs entirely through a referral-based membership system. Applicants must be vouched for by an existing member, watch a mandatory consent-policy video, and pay $40/quarter or $120/year; individual event tickets run $45–$85. Three event tiers exist: public themed nights, private members-only play parties, and educational workshops. First-time guests must complete an in-person orientation before their first play party. Play parties feature multiple socializing and play zones, themed decor, DJ sets, and a full meal served around 2am. Trained volunteers called Guardians — identifiable by light-up armbands — circulate throughout every event and do not participate in play. The consent policy is opt-in: all touch requires explicit verbal agreement. Phones and recording devices are not permitted in play areas.

Zwanglos III

Closed

Berlin, Berlin

Zwanglos III is a couples-and-swingers club (Pärchen- und Swingerclub) in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg, on Gneisenaustraße 10 at the corner of Nostitzstraße, a couple of minutes from the U7 Gneisenaustraße U-Bahn. Run by Zwanglos Gastronomie GmbH (managing director Nadine Hoffmann), it billed itself as 'der gemütliche Swingerclub im Herzen von Berlin Kreuzberg' and 'Berlins ältester Swingerclub' — a cosy, long-established venue with many rooms and rotating themed evenings, a place to slip away from everyday life in a clean, refined (gepflegt, niveauvoll) atmosphere. The club's guiding line is 'Alles kann, nichts muss' — anything goes, nothing is required — so each guest decides how far they want to go, and the staff make a point of putting newcomers at ease. The layout spreads across many playrooms plus a sauna, a pool and a whirlpool for relaxing between encounters, and a bar where drinks are effectively all-inclusive. By the club's own Öffnungszeiten it ran as a near-continuous session from Tuesday 14:00 through to Sunday 14:00 (its homepage slogan is simply '24 h täglich geöffnet'), closing only from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday afternoon. Sundays had a relaxed daytime rhythm: sensual massages from 13:00 to 18:00 with the sauna and whirlpool open, and a 'Schnuppertag' for the curious — newcomers were shown into the swinger world for three hours from 14:00 for 25 euro including three drinks. Pricing followed the classic German swingers structure: single women entered free, couples paid 50 euro, and single men 65–125 euro depending on the day (men only paid the difference if they overstayed their session); all prices included drinks apart from champagne and cocktails plus the theme-night entertainment, with a 5 euro surcharge on certain special nights. The events calendar was dense and playful — FKK (nudist) nights, White-Room and Neon parties, sauna-wellness nights, dark-room and gang-bang parties, Adam-und-Eva and Herrenüberschuss ('more men than women') evenings, Oktoberfest, Karneval der Kulturen and the full run of seasonal parties (Halloween, Silvester, Valentine's, Easter, Christmas). Cleanliness and a respectful, level-headed manner toward other guests were treated as a given.

Shrine Austin

Austin, TX

Event Organizer

Shrine is a monthly BDSM, fetish, and alternative-lifestyle party held on a Sunday evening at colette Austin, a 7,000–9,000 sq ft swingers club at 13800 Dragline Dr. Run by a coalition of Austin-area kink organizations, Shrine bills itself as a sex-positive space that blends a dungeon and nightclub atmosphere, welcoming swingers, kinksters, voyeurs, LGBTQIA+ attendees, and polyamorous folks alike. The venue supplies multiple beds, St. Andrew's crosses, spanking benches, hard points, wrestling mats, stripper poles, a non-alcoholic beverage bar, small lockers, and a smoking-permitted outdoor social area, plus a massage table set aside for fire and medical play. Doors run 6:30pm to 1am (2am on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends), with check-in closing an hour before close. Entry requires a valid state or federal ID (18+), a free temporary colette-club membership, and a signed waiver; cover is $25 at the door or discounted online. There's no fixed dress code — fetish wear and leather are encouraged, and nudity is fine once inside — but attendees must be street-legal en route, and new attendees take a walkthrough with a Front of House Tour Guide before diving in. House rules lean heavily toward consent and safety: the event safe word is RED, all scenes require enthusiastic consent, and Dungeon Monitors in colored vests patrol to enforce boundaries. The party is explicitly dry — no alcohol or drugs are permitted anywhere on the premises — and phones, cameras, and recording devices are banned inside the club except in designated photography areas.

Naughty Revival

Minneapolis, MN

Lifestyle Resort

Naughty Revival is a 21-and-over lifestyle and kink event based in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro area that operates as a periodic hotel takeover rather than a fixed venue: organizers reserve an entire hotel for a private, ticketed weekend roughly once a year. The event traces back to Kinque Social Society, founded in June 2018, which reorganized under the Naughty Revival name for its first event at the Sheraton Bloomington in November 2021, followed by two-night hotel takeovers at the Sheraton Minneapolis West in Minnetonka in subsequent years. Its next takeover is scheduled for December 4–6, 2026, at a hotel disclosed only by email to ticket and room holders. Each takeover converts the reserved hotel into a self-contained event space, with a ballroom dungeon and a pool dungeon outfitted with more than 60 pieces of equipment, four performance stages, classroom space for educational programming, a vendor marketplace, dining areas, and a dedicated swingers' suite, alongside the hotel's own pool, hot tub, sauna and racquetball courts. Outside the on-site bar, restaurants and VIP dining area, clothing is optional throughout the event space, with kink and fetish wear encouraged but street clothes also welcome. Attendance runs upward of 900 guests per event, and both couples and singles of any gender are explicitly welcomed. Doors open at 3:00 PM Friday (1:00 PM for VIP ticket holders), with the event and hotel checkout running through 1:00 PM Sunday. Entry requires a pre-purchased ticket and photo ID for mandatory 21+ verification; general admission runs $165 and VIP $525 per person, with an Ultra VIP two-person suite package at $3,450, and hotel rooms booked and priced separately from admission. House rules ban phones, cameras and recording devices anywhere outside private rooms or a designated phone room, enforce a consent-based stoplight safe-word system, and prohibit illegal drugs and firearms; alcohol is sold at the hotel and venue bars rather than brought in, and smoking is restricted to an area at least 25 feet from any entrance.

Asthoria Swingdreams

Neumünster, Schleswig-Holstein

On-Premise Club

Monde Osé

Unverified

Montreal, Quebec

Event Organizer

Monde Osé is a Montreal-based lifestyle brand and event organizer founded on August 5, 2005, by a Montrealer known publicly as Frank, whose search with his wife for upscale, open-minded sensual entertainment in the city found nothing that met their expectations. The name derives from the French "osé," meaning "daring" — a word the brand treats as both identity and mandate, pledging to challenge social norms around sexuality and self-expression. The first gathering drew 110 invited guests to Joy Nightspot, a small Montreal nightclub, structured as a private couples-and-ladies-only party. Monthly events followed, growing by word of mouth into an erotic performance-arts brand whose stated philosophy rests on three words: Respect, Acceptance, and Love. Monde Osé's principal events have been two annual balls. The Bal Érotique, launched in 2006 as a first-anniversary celebration, ran for thirteen editions through 2018: the inaugural edition drew 450 guests and numbers climbed to more than 1,500 by the peak years. The final edition — Moonlight Masquerade — was held on August 25, 2018, at Bain Mathieu, 2915 Ontario Street East, and was deliberately retired by founder Frank, who announced in August 2018 that he was moving on to other pursuits. The continuing flagship is the Bal Burlesque, a spring event led by performer and artistic director Lexxi Brown (also known as Foxy Lexxi); its most recent confirmed edition took place on March 4, 2023, at Cabaret Lion d'Or, 1676 rue Ontario est, in Montreal's Le Village neighbourhood. Events run from 9 pm to 3 am and combine live burlesque headliners, pole dancers, contortionists, and aerial artists with a soundtrack of deep house, techno, soul, and funk curated by guest DJs. Each event is built around a distinct theme deployed through décor, lighting, performance, and dress code. Access to Monde Osé events is membership-first: prospective attendees are encouraged to apply for pre-approval through the website's membership section, where applications are reviewed against unstated criteria. Non-members who arrive without prior approval are screened on-site, with entry based on what the brand describes as "attractiveness, style and sophistication," and a slight ticket premium at the door. For the 2023 Bal Burlesque, pre-sale tickets started at $55 CAD (until December 22, 2022), rising through early-bird ($65), regular ($80), and day-of ($95) tiers; VIP packages at $400 included a reserved table for the evening, bottle service, and line skip — all VIP guests were still required to hold a separate event ticket. Dress code is strictly enforced: no athletic wear, running shoes, or baseball caps; the expected standard is sexy or daring, with themed costuming actively encouraged. Guests must be at least 18 years old.

Club Chameleon

Flint, MI

House Party

Club Chameleon is a swingers house-party venue operating in the Flint, Michigan area, run by a self-described "empty nester" couple with 25 years in the lifestyle. The venue spans three and a half floors, with two bars, a dance floor, three private playrooms, a curtained "Peekaboo" room, a dedicated billiards room, and a St. Andrew's cross room stocked with paddles and floggers for sensual play. Outside, an enclosed, heated patio holds an eight-person hot tub open year-round, a second theme bar, a stripper pole, and a bonfire pit with seating. The club leans heavily into theme parties, held roughly once a month, complete with costume contests, prizes, and raffles, alongside icebreaker activities like cornhole, beer pong, foosball, and adult Jenga. Food is served buffet-style, usually tied to the party theme, while all parties are BYOB and BYOC (bring your own cup), and the venue is smoking- and 420-friendly. The organizers position Club Chameleon as newbie-friendly, promoting a "safe, non-pushy, no expectations" atmosphere, with a strict Single Male Expectations Policy available on request; overnight accommodations can reportedly be arranged for guests traveling long distances or planning to drink.

On-Premise Club

Permanently closed. Menages Club operated as a private, membership-based lifestyle venue in downtown Nashville from 2000 until 2020, when the building was sold and converted into Drexel House, a homeless shelter run by the nonprofit Room in the Inn. There is no successor lifestyle club at the former address, and no evidence the club relocated or reopened under a different name. While active, the club ran parties Wednesday through Saturday from 8pm and operated BYOB, with mixers, ice, and setups provided at the bar; smoking was not permitted indoors. This listing is kept for historical reference only — the former address is now a residential shelter serving a vulnerable population, so do not attempt to visit.

Dark Odyssey

Berkeley, CA

Event Organizer

Dark Odyssey is a roving event organization founded in 2003 by Greg, a former Black Rose board chairman, to fuse sexuality, spirituality, education, and play under one roof. Rather than operating a fixed venue, it commandeers hotels and private rural retreats for four distinct annual events: Winter Fire, a luxury hotel takeover in Baltimore running a full President's Day weekend; Fusion, a six-day summer camp in Northern Maryland on a 200-acre private facility with 40 cabins and 400 beds; Summer Camp, a Labor Day week-long gathering at the same Northern Maryland retreat; and Surrender, a pre-Halloween hotel convention in the San Jose Bay Area. Sold-out attendance at Winter Fire has reached 1,400 people. Each event follows the same architecture: days packed with 80-plus workshops spanning BDSM technique, polyamory, Tantra, sacred sexuality, and spiritual practice, taught by national educators; nights given over to fully equipped dungeons, the Sex-O-Rama open playspace (supplied with beds, lube, condoms, and gloves around the clock), and themed parties running until 2–3am. The rural camp events add outdoor suspension rigs, a tennis-court playspace with weather-resistant equipment, a Pavilion for mixers and open play, and a Temple space for ritual and sacred play. Fire spin jams, drumming circles, a Kinky State Fair, and a Saturday night show round out the program. The community self-describes as a melting pot of kinksters, queers, swingers, spiritualists, Pagans, polyamorists, and cross-dressers — pansexual, omnisexual, and explicitly welcoming to all gender identities. Attendee-created ION events let the community add its own workshops and parties to each schedule. A dedicated Incident Response Team (IRT) staffs a help desk at every event to handle consent matters in private.

NSFW (New Society for Wellness)

New York, NY

On-Premise Club

Founded in 2018 by Daniel Saynt — the self-described 'Chief Conspirator' — NSFW (New Society for Wellness) began as an intimate gathering in lower Manhattan and grew into one of New York's most talked-about members-only sex clubs. The current clubhouse, a 4,000 sq ft space in Chelsea near Penn Station, replaced earlier venues in Brooklyn and lower Manhattan and opened in August 2025. Entry is past a velvet rope and front-desk check-in, with arrivals capped at 60 members per event. The crowd — drawn heavily from entertainment, fashion, and media, averaging around 28 years old and running roughly 60 percent female — sets a tone one attendee described as 'civilized debauchery.' All guests dress in all-black to put everyone on an equal playing field. The weekly rhythm runs to PlayDates every Saturday (21:00–02:00) and Netflix & Chill Sundays (18:00–22:00), with workshops Tuesdays and Thursdays (18:00–21:00) covering pleasure education, rope play, and BDSM. A monthly Send Noobs introductory session walks prospective members through the community's consent framework before they set foot in the Clubhouse. The space features plush communal areas, a sex swing, shibari play zones, walls of floggers and paddles, and private by-reservation rooms. Membership requires a vetted profile granted at roughly a 30% acceptance rate, evaluated across 14 criteria. Tiers range from Pay-Per-Play ($29/month or $169/year plus per-event passes) to Unlimited Solo ($250/month) and Unlimited Couples ($350/month) plans. An online community of 7,500+ member profiles, an NSFW Magazine, and sex-education resources extend the experience beyond the physical Clubhouse.

The Velvet Rope

Portland, OR

The Velvet Rope (TVR) is Portland's longest-running on-premises social and lifestyle club, tucked away in a quiet, unassuming building on SE Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard. Spanning roughly 10,000 square feet across two floors, the 21-and-over venue bills itself as a sex-positive, judgment-free space where individuals, couples and polycules of all identities and experience levels can connect, play or simply soak up the vibe. New guests are walked through the club on a guided tour and signed in at the front desk; the crowd is a mix of long-time regulars and lifestyle newcomers, and the staff lean heavily on a consent-first culture backed by clear house rules. The club runs Friday and Saturday nights from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. and Sundays from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., with a rotating calendar of themed parties — Newbie Night, Savage Saturdays, Sex in the Sundae, plus kink nights, rope demos, speed dating and glow parties. Entry is members-first: a couples membership runs $70 for six months or $110 for a year, single ladies $40/$60, and single men $95/$135, with reduced door fees, special member-only events and a fast-track member line as perks. Non-members can buy a one-night pass at the door (couples $50–$80, single ladies $10–$20, single men $55–$90 depending on the night), and a government-issued ID is required at every visit. Two full bars operate inside, so guests must be 21+; per OLCC rules, no marijuana in any form is allowed on the property. Inside, the space is built for both play and comfort: a large dance floor with a live DJ, pole stations and a dance cage; social lounges with pool tables and stage performances; multiple open and private play areas including a couples-only room and a caged sex swing; hardpoints for rope suspension and other kink exploration; indoor and outdoor hot tubs with adjacent showers stocked with free towels, body wash and shampoo; and lockers on both levels (BYO lock or buy one at the desk). Dress code is enforced — clubwear or business-casual on regular nights, theme-appropriate attire on kink, glow and formal events — with no sweats, flip-flops or gym wear. Knives, needles, tasers, guns (real or replica), candles and unapproved electro gear are barred from the playrooms, and the venue maintains hard limits on scat, watersports, fire, blood, breath and wax play. Three free parking lots sit nearby, credit and debit cards are accepted at the desk, and an ATM is right next door.

Muncie, IN

Off-Premise Club

Club NV is an on-premise lifestyle club in Muncie, Indiana, owned and operated by a lifestyle couple. The club is located at 400 S. Lincoln St., about 35 miles northeast of Indianapolis, and membership is open to anyone 21 or older who is in, or interested in, the lifestyle. The venue occupies 10,000 square feet with a DJ, dance floor, video screens and lockers, plus a fountain machine stocked with soda, cups, ice, coolers and snacks — all included with the entry fee.

Club NV is open Saturday nights only, from 7pm, with no entry after midnight; the club closes at 3am, with no overnight stays permitted under state fire code. Annual membership costs $1 and is arranged on a member's first visit with photo ID and a signed membership agreement.

The club is BYOB and does not sell alcohol.

Eros Knoxville

Knoxville, TN

On-Premise Club

Eros Knoxville is a private, members-only lifestyle club tucked into a bottom-floor space reached through a courtyard at 815 South Central Street in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee — look for the upside-down pineapple in the window. Billed on its own site as East Tennessee's most upscale and diverse lifestyle club, it operates as a BYOB venue that does not sell alcohol, welcoming guests to bring their own drinks in a cup with a lid. The club runs as a live-DJ nightclub with a dance floor, drawing an open-minded, mixed crowd of couples and singles. Membership is required for entry and is verified against the Tennessee Sexual Offender and Violent Offender Registry; all guests must be 21 or older. Lockers are available on a first-come, first-served basis for each event (members supply their own locks), and private rental spaces are offered, including the Ruby Room (10-15 people), a private booth seating up to six, and reserved lounge seating for four. Smoking is permitted outside only, and the venue enforces a strict, staff-adjudicated dress code — sexy-but-classy attire for women, with men barred from shorts, tank tops, flip-flops, sunglasses, cargo pants, sweatpants, and printed t-shirts (dress jeans permitted). Event fees run higher on Saturdays than Fridays: couples pay $40 on Fridays and $60 on Saturdays, single females $20/$25, and single men $50/$70. Fridays are designated Ladies Night, with all single women admitted free and couples at half price before 10pm. New members must complete a mandatory orientation tour by 11pm on their first visit. House rules prohibit cameras or recording devices anywhere on the premises, enforce a strict no-means-no consent standard, and carry a zero-tolerance policy on drugs and prostitution; single women are afforded particular protection, with harassment or stalking grounds for suspension of a member couple's account.

Fusion Parties

Manchester, NH

Mobile/roving — various NH venues; no fixed premises

Fusion Parties Social Club is a private members community based in Manchester, New Hampshire, built around connection, exploration, and upscale adult experiences for open-minded couples and individuals. Rather than operating a fixed venue, the organizers rent out different locations for each event, favouring mansions, penthouses, and pool-equipped estates across New Hampshire. Events typically run monthly or bi-monthly, with tickets sold through SimpleTix; the exact address is shared with ticket holders only in the week of the event. A Fusion Parties night centres on a distinct theme — past editions have included Masquerade Penthouse, Glitz & Glam, Glow Hard, and Cupid’s NightCap — with a DJ, live performances (LED displays, fire acts, or themed dance routines), and complimentary appetisers. The club runs BYOB with bartenders on site mixing cocktails from house-provided mixers; no alcohol is sold. Playrooms and a dance pole feature at house-party events, while the Eden resort-takeover format switches to a full cash bar and multi-night itinerary. Fusion Parties collaborates closely with Mindbender Parties and H&H Social Club, forming a New England lifestyle network. Listed on SDC, events draw hundreds of guests, making Fusion one of the largest lifestyle event operations in New Hampshire.

The Crucible

Washington, DC

BDSM Club

Tucked into a residential stretch of Northeast DC near the Rhode Island Avenue Metro, The Crucible has operated as Washington's only private kink and alternate-lifestyles club since founder Frazier Botsford — known to regulars as Uncle Frazier — began building it in 1997. Organised as a 501(c)(7) non-profit private social club, the venue at 412 V Street NE holds a full dungeon fitted with bondage crosses, spanking benches, ropes, whips and handcuffs along the walls, plus a dedicated medical play area for piercing, needle and blood play, and a smaller private room for more intimate scenes. Dungeon Monitors trained by the Black Rose are on the floor at all events, and the crowd — spanning kinksters, lifestylers and curious newcomers of all orientations and genders — consistently draws praise for its warm, family-like atmosphere. The event calendar runs most Friday and Saturday nights, with 18-and-over play nights on Fridays (no alcohol) and 21-and-over nights with a full bar on Saturdays. Recurring themed nights include Black & Kinky (second Friday, POC-focused), QINK (third Friday), Sinfully Naughty (first Saturday), and Risqué EDM dance party (second Saturday). Black Rose holds weekly education at the venue every Tuesday and its monthly Gateway meeting on the first Thursday. The first Friday of every month is Dungeon 101 — doors open at 7:30pm and the structured presentation begins at 8pm, followed by an open exploratorium. No membership required for this event. Members may bring up to three guests. Annual membership is $40/person, purchased online; all applicants are screened against the DOJ sex-offender registry.

Fallout RVA

Richmond, VA

alternative nightclub / fetish & kink club

Fallout has anchored Richmond's Shockoe Bottom since November 2007, earning its place as the city's longest-running goth, industrial, and fetish nightclub. Owner Jackie Bishop describes it as 'queer, a little bit kinky — basically a space for everybody that's just trying to find a place to belong.' The result is part nightclub, part community centre, part sanctuary at 117 N. 18th Street. The calendar runs seven nights a week: vinyl goth/EBM nights (Metal Beat), leather-and-latex fetish dance parties, drag showcases, rope-bondage socials, burlesque, goth karaoke, queer dance-therapy classes, and polyamory munches all coexist under one roof. Fridays and Saturdays extend to 2am. Some nights are members-only; others require a one-night pass via DM or Fetlife. A formal membership programme underlies the club's identity. Applications are in-person only — 21+, valid ID, dress code, and a member sponsor required; committee reviews take roughly two weeks. Members get free or discounted entry and may bring two guests. Non-members attend open events (18+) at cover charges typically $5–$15. Photography is banned outright; Virginia ABC law prohibits full nudity.

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.

On-Premise Club

Sitting on Q Street in the heart of South Omaha, R-Place built its reputation as Nebraska's only dedicated on-premise lifestyle club - a privately owned, 4,000-square-foot, three-level building converted into what owners called an elegant upscale classy venue. The main floor centres on a full dance floor with professional DJ booth, state-of-the-art lighting and a sound system, ringed by lounge-style seating and five TVs (including a 60-inch screen). Three leather-furnished living-room social areas give couples and groups a place to mix before venturing further, and the club runs as a strict BYOB bottle club with mixers and soft drinks provided at no charge. The play spaces span two additional levels. Four private bedrooms and four bathrooms (three with showers) handle couples seeking privacy, while the basement Dungeon - billed as The Playroom - offers group beds, two electric-hoist sex swings, restraints, a glory hole wall, and a professional massage table, plus a Sybian machine. Outside, a large patio enclosed by a six-foot privacy fence leads to a covered 20-by-19-foot sky room with a twelve-foot propane fire pit, seating around thirty people through the colder Nebraska months. The door policy is guest-list only: prospective attendees email in advance to be added, and walk-ins are not accepted. Hours run Friday and Saturday, 8 pm to 2 am. Saturday nights are theme-party nights. Admission is $40 per couple per night, $25 for a single woman, and $45 for a single man. Towels, lockers, and condom supplies are on hand; smoking is allowed in a designated indoor area. Single males and single females are both welcome alongside couples.

Baltimore Playhouse

Baltimore, MD

BDSM Club

Occupying a sprawling 12,000-square-foot industrial space off Washington Boulevard in South Baltimore, Baltimore Playhouse has been Charm City's premier kink destination since 1997. The current location — opened in October 2014 after a fire ended the community's previous home — is self-described as the largest known BDSM play space in the United States, a claim that lands credibly the moment you step past the coat check and through the black curtain into the main floor. A capped attendance of 250 per event keeps the energy intimate despite the scale, and Dungeon Monitors patrol throughout, making it as safe as it is sprawling. Organized as a 501(c)(7) non-profit social club, the Playhouse runs on a contributorship model: a $30 annual fee unlocks access to a calendar that fills roughly a year in advance with play parties, educational sessions, and specialty nights hosted by outside groups. For those new to public dungeons, the monthly Kink: First Contact open house — held on the first Friday of most months — requires no contributorship, just an RSVP, and walks newcomers through SSC and RACK basics before opening stations for hands-on exploration until around 11pm. The Playhouse is an NCSF Coalition Partner, and its consent-first culture shows: a formal Consent Incident Report form lives on the website, and safe words (Yellow/Red) are posted and enforced. The space itself accommodates everything from medical and needle play (confined to designated medical areas) to impact, bondage, and group scenes, with cleaning stations and Chux pads distributed throughout. There is no bar — the Playhouse is completely alcohol-free and drug-free, with permanent bans for violations — and there is no walk-in option; names must be on the RSVP list. Regular event entry runs $20-$25, with snacks and soft drinks available from an on-site snack bar.

The Art Cinema

Hartford, CT

Housed in a 1919-built Art Deco movie palace at 255 Franklin Avenue in Hartford's South End, The Art Cinema is one of North America's last surviving adult theaters of its kind. Originally opened as The Rialto, it passed through Warner Bros. hands before settling into adult fare. Family-operated for over forty years — now by Ernest Grecula Jr. — it was fully renovated and reopened in December 2020. The single-screen auditorium seats 601 across a main floor and a couples-exclusive VIP Balcony, with continuous video features running throughout the day. The Couples Exclusive VIP Balcony is the venue's signature draw — a self-contained upper tier reserved strictly for mixed-gender couples, actively enforced by staff. Single men are permitted on the main floor but barred from all couples-designated areas. The theater runs a rotating schedule of themed adult parties. Weekly specials keep things lively: the Monday Couples Special brings M/F admission to $10 all day; Trans Thursday offers free entry for trans women. Standard admission is $25 for single men, $25 for M/F couples, and $10 for single women. Cash only. The vibe is voyeuristic and unhurried — seated, darkened, anonymous. A Diamond Rewards program gives a free fifth visit after four paid admissions. The FetLife group (fetlife.com/groups/190544) serves as the primary community hub for party announcements and event news.

Forbidden Omaha

Omaha, NE

On-Premise Club

Forbidden Omaha is a members-only lifestyle club operating from a private, upscale 3,000-square-foot property in Omaha, Nebraska. Billed as "Nebraska's Premier Lifestyle Club," it describes itself as a theme-centric, community-oriented space for open-minded couples and singles rather than a walk-in venue, and has operated under new ownership since December 2021. The club draws a mixed crowd spanning roughly age 21 to their 70s, and welcomes newcomers alongside longtime lifestyle participants, including those interested in BDSM, provided they remain respectful of others who are not. The venue does not hold a liquor license and runs BYOB, with ice provided on-site; there is no public bar. House policy sets a 45-minute play-time limit per private room to keep spaces available, and an open floor policy permits play in communal areas — on couches, benches and seating — after 11pm, alongside an open-door/curtain culture for guests who enjoy watching or being watched. Photography is prohibited on the open floor to protect member privacy, and the club maintains an on-site gallery of approved images rather than public photos of parties in progress. Parties run every Saturday night, with entry from 9pm and hours extending to 2:30am (seasonally adjusted, e.g. summer hours to 2am); no entry is permitted after 11pm. The club is closed to the general public and requires prior approval — first-time guests must register an account and submit links to social media or lifestyle-site profiles (Facebook, Instagram, Fetlife, etc.) for verification before being cleared to purchase a pass and attend. Single men and single women are both admitted, subject to the same rules as everyone else. Passes and membership purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable, and must be completed by 6pm on the day of an event.

Richmond Rondezvouz

Richmond, VA

Event Organizer

Richmond Rondezvouz for Swingers is a Richmond, Virginia-based adult lifestyle group that organizes private parties rather than operating out of a fixed clubhouse. Run by a host couple and cross-listed on the SwingLifestyle platform under the handle swingcouple96, the group holds swinger parties at rotating private residences at least twice a month, along with occasional bi-oriented gatherings and peep-show style events. The group describes itself as welcoming to all attendees. Host locations typically include a private home with a heated pool, hot tub, large deck and covered patio, and a dedicated play area; one recurring venue also has a fenced backyard, an outdoor shower and a port-a-potty for guests who wish to camp overnight. Food and non-alcoholic drinks are supplied by the hosts, while alcohol is strictly BYOB; showers, towels, soap and wipes are provided on site for cleanup after play. Attendance is by confirmed RSVP only — prospective guests email the organizers with the names of everyone attending, and the party address is released only after confirmation; no one is admitted who is not on the guest list, and all attendees must be 21 or older. Admission is cash-only ($50 for couples and single men, $10 for single women), with a $20 late-registration fee for RSVPs submitted after the same-day cutoff. A dress code bars hats, hoodies, tank tops, sportswear and work boots at regular parties (dedicated pool parties are clothing-optional), and house rules ban photography without consent, prohibit illegal drugs and any pay-for-play activity, and require single men to approach the male half of a couple first rather than the female half alone.

Electricity Social Club

Providence, RI

On-premise lifestyle / swinger club

Electricity Social Club occupies a loft-style space inside Atlantic Mill, a historic industrial complex in the Olneyville neighborhood of Providence, at 122 Manton Avenue — Right Tower, 2nd Floor. From the outside the building reads as a plain old factory, with no signage pointing to what's inside. The interior opens into a spacious loft-fitted club with a dance floor, a stripper pole, a full sound and light system, a BYOB bar stocked with mixers, lockers, and a dedicated smoking lounge. It is an on-premise, members-only lifestyle venue and one of the most talked-about lifestyle clubs in New England. The club runs Friday and Saturday nights from 9 pm to 2 am, with specialty events — including a bi- and pansexual-friendly Bi Voltage night — on the calendar. All guests must hold an annual membership (available at the door) and pay a per-party entry fee; valid photo ID is required at every visit. The crowd skews toward couples and single men, with reviewers placing the typical age range in the forties to fifties, though visitors span their twenties to late sixties. The atmosphere is described as laid-back and friendly, with action picking up after 11 pm. The play areas cover a wide range of preferences: a large main group room with couches ringing a dance floor and stripper pole; a small dungeon stocked with a rack, sawhorse, and floggers; a side room with beds and fresh linens; exhibitionist beds in a hallway where a velvet rope signals openness to company; and approximately ten fully private, attendant-managed playrooms. The club is BYOB — bring your own alcohol, free mixers provided — and is cash-only at the door. ESC describes itself as on-premise and welcoming to LGBTQ, pansexual, and bi-friendly guests.

Richmond Sauna

Richmond, ME

Bath House

Tucked into the woods off Dingley Road in Richmond, Maine, the Richmond Sauna has been welcoming a diverse mix of guests since 1976. Founded by Richard Jarvi — a Finnish-heritage engineer who built the concrete block bathhouse by hand, crafting his own wood stoves from scrap metal — the property has evolved from a pure Finnish sauna tradition into a clothing-optional retreat that pairs authentic wood-fired heat with a heated indoor pool, a large outdoor hot tub, and a sunning lawn available seasonally from May through November. Management has passed to founder's son Donald in recent years, and a 2025 TripAdvisor reviewer noted the new ownership has made "dramatic changes, all for the better," with updated rooms and a noticeably cleaner property. The schedule runs Wednesday through Sunday, with evening sauna and hot tub access from 6pm to 10pm year-round, and daytime pool and lawn access Tuesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm during the warmer season. Guests choose between a community sauna at $40 per person or a semi-private sauna at $50; advance reservations are recommended for semi-private rooms. The 1800s colonial house on the property offers six guest rooms — including an efficiency apartment with a private entrance and kitchenette — with sauna access included in the overnight rate. Rooms are equipped with A/C and WiFi. The vibe is firmly clothing-optional rather than nudist in the traditional sense: reviewers describe it as laid-back and welcoming, with a loyal crowd of regulars alongside curious newcomers. The property functions as a neutral meeting ground for open-minded couples visiting the area, with the atmosphere more rustic Maine retreat than polished resort. Its location just over 20 minutes from Augusta and 40 minutes from Portland makes it one of the most accessible clothing-optional destinations in New England.

Tennessee Temptations

Johnson City, TN

Lifestyle Resort

Tennessee Temptations is a members-only private lifestyle party serving the Tri-Cities region of Northeast Tennessee, centered on Johnson City, rather than a walk-in club with a public storefront. Prospective guests must register for membership through the club's own ticketing site before attending, and the exact venue address is shared only with approved members; the club states plainly that it never advertises its events outside the lifestyle community. Parties are held roughly once a month, with hosts greeting guests on arrival and offering newcomers a tour of the space. The site runs on the shared Modern Lifestyle ticketing platform and also serves as a booking portal for affiliated adult travel brands, including Desire and Temptation resorts, Bliss Cruise, and Hedonism II, though those trips are third-party partner offerings rather than part of the Tennessee Temptations party itself. The party takes place in a private venue of more than 3,000 square feet, built around a large wooden dance floor with professional sound, lighting and a DJ. The main room seats 100-plus guests and includes a stripper pole, while a dedicated on-site playroom is equipped with a swing, a Sybian, and other equipment for couples and singles who want company while they play. A separate private playroom is available for guests who prefer to be left alone together. The event is BYOB, with complimentary non-alcoholic mixers and snacks provided, and out-of-town guests can arrange discounted hotel rooms and shuttle transportation between the host hotel and the party. Entry requires advance membership and is limited to guests 21 and older; couples must arrive and depart together. Single men and single women are given a glow band at check-in that must stay visible all night, and house etiquette only allows singles to approach other guests wearing a matching band color, while couples open to meeting singles wear their own designated blue or pink band. Cameras, camera phones, and voice recorders are banned throughout the venue, and touching another guest without asking consent first is not permitted under any circumstance. The playroom is reserved strictly for play rather than spectating, and entry requires full prior consent from everyone in a guest's own party, even when playing separately; singles may only enter with an inviting couple and must leave when that couple does. Additional house rules prohibit drugs, weapons, prostitution or soliciting, and promoting competing events, and violations can result in immediate expulsion or a permanent ban with no refund of membership fees.

NYX Lounge

Oakville, Ontario

On-Premise Club

NYX Lounge is a members-only adult lifestyle and swinger club occupying a commercial unit at 407 Speers Road in Oakville, Ontario — a three-minute drive from the QEW and within easy reach of the GTA’s western corridor, drawing couples and singles from Mississauga, Burlington, Hamilton, and Toronto. The club positions itself as Ontario’s most upscale on-premise lifestyle venue, combining a full licensed nightclub floor with dedicated play spaces under one roof. The main floor centres on a large dance floor ringed by six high-definition screens, three dance poles, professional lighting, and a full club sound system. A staffed bar operates all night, with reserved bottle-service booths available in advance. An upstairs loft overlooks the dance floor below, doubling as a lounge and open-concept play space, while a back playroom off the main floor can run as an open group environment or a more private arrangement. Capacity is 325. Newcomers are paired with a host couple on arrival and given a guided tour. Weekly themed nights — recent examples include Flirty Friday, Latin Night, and Fantasy Friday — rotate through the calendar; the venue is also available for private weeknight rental. NYX runs every Friday and Saturday from 21:00 to 02:00. Membership is required: a Basic annual membership costs C$100 for couples or single men and C$40 for single ladies, with a C$80 one-night guest-pass option for couples. Nightly door fees apply on top — C$40 per couple, free for single ladies on standard nights (Halloween and New Year’s Eve excluded), and C$60 for single men with a valid Basic membership. Elite couples memberships bundle unlimited Friday and Saturday admission for C$500 (six months) or C$800 (one year), with New Year’s Eve and select themed Fridays partially excluded. A signed waiver and valid photo ID are required at entry; waivers can be completed in advance at nyxlounge.com/waiver.

Clubhouse 2050

Indianapolis, IN

On-Premise Club

Sitting just east of downtown Indianapolis on E Michigan Street — about two miles from city center — ClubHouse 2050 is Indiana's longest-running lifestyle members-only club, housed in a building with an eclectic past (members note it was once a funeral home, which only adds to its mystique). The ground floor is laid out like a social club: a sports bar, dance floor, card room, and game room all feed into a play area with curtained semi-private spaces. Upstairs, private and semi-private rooms are available for couples and groups, outfitted with fresh linens and stocked with convenience baskets. What sets ClubHouse 2050 apart is the breadth of its membership. Less than half of the crowd are full swingers; the rest are voyeurs, exhibitionists, BDSM and FetLife regulars, and vanilla couples who enjoy a flirtatious, no-judgment atmosphere. The club runs weekly events every Friday and Saturday (8pm–2am), leaning into themed nights that vary by the interests of those who show up. It is BYOB with no bar tab, and the flat $50 Saturday entry and roughly $30 Friday fee make it one of the most affordable on-premise clubs in the region. Paid members also unlock a full online community: photo sharing, direct messaging, and live video chat. The club partners with a sister venue, ClubhousePandora.com near Anderson Casino, and curates a calendar of lifestyle travel events for members seeking experiences beyond Indianapolis.

BiZarre Events

London, Greater London

BDSM Club

BiZarre Events is a London production company that has run some of the capital's most distinctive alternative play parties, in its own words 'proudly and passionately since 2012.' Founded by Nina and Aidan, it operates as a private members' club rather than a single fixed venue, staging a rotating family of themed nights built around 'Diversity and Inclusion for LGBTQ+ and our Allies.' The flagship BiKINK is pitched as a night 'explicitly for bisexual / LGBTQ+ males and females as well as Trans* or gender-fluid' players; alongside it run PisSoir (an 'ULTIMATE WATERSPORTS' night), Club Labrys (a sex- and body-positive night for women) and Savage Dreams (an alt club for couples). The crowd is described as 'unpretentious, friendly, non-judgemental, respectful and colourful,' welcoming singles, couples 'of any configuration' and poly-groups, and 'seasoned players as well as newbies to the scene.' Parties are held at a 'well-established, internationally famous, purpose-fitted and very luxurious play-space' in North East London, kept discreet and disclosed to members on booking. The organisers describe it as 'extremely well connected' by various bus stops and 'a nearby 24-hour tube / underground line running to and from Central London,' with 'ample available and free parking.' Downstairs holds an elegant reception, a free staffed cloakroom, a bar and an indoor smoking area; upstairs opens onto 'a large, furnished play space, fully equipped with many bespoke pieces.' Unisex shower facilities, toiletries and fresh towels are provided free, and once you are inside the organisers stress that 'EVERYTHING is COMPLETELY FREE.' Security is handled by 'SIA licenced door supervisors' with both female and male crew, in what the club frames explicitly as a 'FEMALE EMPOWERED SAFE-SPACE.' Entry is by prior booking through the club's ticketing system, with booking opening roughly a month before each party. A paid annual membership (£40 per person, valid twelve months) is required at first attendance 'because we are a PRIVATE MEMBERS CLUB,' and admission is charged per event — singles around £70, couples and poly-groups about £50 per person (M/F couples £25 each on a summer promo), paid 'AT THE DOOR in CASH or by CARD,' with student, couples and limited low-income concessions available. Drinks are unusually generous: the club provides 'a very generous amount of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for FREE (beer & wine as well as soft drinks),' and members may also BYOB, with glasses and a fridge provided. House rules are firm and consent-led — 'Always! Ask! First!,' never interrupt a scene, ''No' means 'No',' a '100% no-illegal-drugs policy,' and 'absolutely DO NOT allow photography or audio / visual recording of any kind,' with mobile phones banned inside and checked into the cloakroom. Dress code is creative rather than prescriptive: 'leave the everyday street clothes look outside' and be 'APPROPRIATELY DRESSED for the occasion.'

Mint Tease

London, London

Pop-Up Event Series

Mint Tease is the play-party arm of Mint Events London, a queer women's events brand founded in 2006 by Nicola Chubb. Known as the promiscuous wing of the long-running Mint brand, it operates as a roving East London pop-up rather than at a fixed address: a series of periodic erotic events staged in private, unlisted venues and designed exclusively for queer women, femmes, thems, non-binary guests, and bi and curious women. The format sits at a studied remove from the conventional sex-club aesthetic — events are curated around comfort, consent, and community as much as play, drawing a crowd spanning ages and experience levels, from first-timers to Mint regulars. Recent editions have taken over The Old Dispensary at 19a Leman Street, East London (E1 8EN), a multi-floor space a short walk from Aldgate East and Liverpool Street stations. Three floors carry a cocktail bar with DJ sets, a ground-floor social and performance area, private playrooms, an open playroom with antique furnishings and fireplaces, and a fully equipped BDSM dungeon with suspension apparatus. On-site dominatrices facilitate activities and offer orientations for newcomers; the atmosphere is described as relaxed and consent-centred. Mint Tease events run periodically through the year — there is no fixed weekly cadence. A daytime variant, Twilight Tease, holds afternoon sessions (typically 3 pm–8 pm) in smaller private venues. Standard events run roughly 8 pm–1 am. Tickets are sold in advance only through a verification process: prospective attendees complete an application form before purchase; returning verified guests receive access codes by email. Recent ticket prices have sat at £55 (early bird) to £60 (final release) plus booking fees. Entry closes strictly at 10 pm, with organisers recommending arrival before 9 pm. Government-issued photo ID is mandatory. The dress code enforces self-expression: leather, lace, lingerie, harnesses, corsets, and heels are the expectation; streetwear and light denim are turned away at the door.

Club Bacchus

Dundee, Scotland

On-Premise Club

Club Bacchus occupies a discreet address on Princes Street in Dundee — about five minutes from the bus station and fifteen minutes on foot from Dundee Station — billing itself as Tayside's most stylish and discreet adult lifestyle venue.

X Club Winnipeg

Closed

Winnipeg, Manitoba

Sex Club

X Club Winnipeg was one of Canada's largest lifestyle and sex-positive social clubs, occupying a converted three-storey building at 457 Notre Dame Ave in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba. The venue operated as an all-inclusive, body-positive space welcoming couples, singles, and LGBTQ2S+ guests of all orientations and gender identities. The club permanently closed on May 24, 2026, after repeated unsuccessful applications for a liquor license from Manitoba's Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority left the business financially unviable. Spanning over 10,000 square feet across three floors, X Club offered 35 lockable private rooms — from single lockers to themed fantasy suites and a private hot tub suite — alongside a dry sauna, large steam room, communal showers, and a sex-free social lounge. A basement dungeon housed sex swings, a kink cage, glory holes, and a gay and bi-oriented porn lounge. The venue hosted themed event nights including Seductive Saturdays and fantasy-themed Fridays, and operated on a continuous schedule from Wednesday at 9 AM through Monday at 3 AM, closing only on Tuesdays. Entry was structured as a room or locker rental rather than a traditional door charge, and no alcohol was ever sold on the premises.

Stopgap

San Francisco, CA

Event Organizer

Opened in April 2024 inside the SoMa building that once housed the SF Citadel, Stopgap is a turnkey kink venue that bridges San Francisco's leather history with its present-day scene. The fully accessible ground floor holds social areas, lockers, two bathrooms, and open play spaces fitted with hardpoints, while a staircase descends to a 3,100-square-foot basement dungeon stocked with equipment recovered from the Citadel's collection alongside newer pieces -- crosses, benches, tables, bondage chairs, cages, and at least 20 suspension hardpoints with floor mats for rope work. The venue is run by the AfterDark Events team, a POC, femme, queer, neurodivergent, and disabled-led organisation, and doubles as a rental space for third-party producers. Stopgap's own flagship is House Party, an inclusive open-play night held on the first Friday of every month, alongside weekly open-dungeon sessions, the Wrapt rope jam on fourth Mondays, Society of Janus play parties on second Saturdays, and rotating themed events such as Board Games & Bondage.

Partners Swingers Club

Bury, Greater Manchester

On-Premise Club

Set on a residential backstreet roughly a mile from Bury town centre in Greater Manchester, Partners has built a reputation as one of the North West's most-visited adult lifestyle clubs. The venue pitches itself as 'the UK's Premier Swingers Club,' having claimed the number one spot in the North West in both 2018 and 2019, and draws visitors from well beyond the region. Management's stated aim is a warm, friendly environment — guests are encouraged to socialise at the bar first and explore at their own pace — and the tone skews inclusive and unhurried rather than nightclub-loud. The club is open six nights a week on a rotating event schedule. Thursday hosts an inclusive bisexual-friendly evening run in partnership with Biphoria; Sunday is the couples and single females night; and weekend themes change week to week. Once a month the dungeon and play spaces are handed over to Kage Club for a dedicated BDSM play event. Standard entry opens at 8pm and runs to 3am, with tiered pricing at the door: couples pay £30 (members £25), single females £10 (members £5), and single males £40 (members £35). The wet zone — a swimming pool, bubbling jacuzzi, traditional sauna, and cool plunge pool — is the headline draw, and the club claims these facilities are unmatched in the UK. Beyond the water, the floor plan runs to a bar lounge with a pool table, group rooms designed for shared enjoyment, private cabins, a couples-only room with an adjoining viewing area, and a fully equipped dungeon. Outside drinks are welcome in the bar and lounge area in a BYOB arrangement. House rules are strictly enforced: consent is the operating principle throughout ('NO means NO'), single males are reminded their attendance is a privilege, cameras and phones are banned in play areas, CCTV covers all public spaces, and smoking is restricted to an outdoor area.

Club Tempted

Louisville, KY

Lifestyle Resort

Club Tempted is a members-only private lifestyle club serving Louisville, Kentucky, run on the Modern Lifestyle club platform used by swinger and lifestyle venues across North America. The club does not publish a street address; location details are shared only with applicants who complete Tempted's online membership screening and registration process at clubtempted.com. The venue occupies more than 9,000 square feet across two floors, with a large dance floor, nine themed play rooms, dressing rooms, and lockers (locks provided) for members' belongings. Ticket holders can access a first-floor VIP lounge and second-floor VIP rooms, and the space seats roughly 325 guests. The bar is BYOB and self-serve, with mixers provided by the club at no charge, and smoking is permitted in an outdoor area only. Events run on Friday and Saturday nights, plus periodic special events, with access tiered across four membership levels — Onyx, Crystal, Ruby, and Diamond — priced from $250/year ($25/month) up to $1,000/year ($100/month); higher tiers carry lower ticket prices and larger special-event and VIP discounts. A $20 one-weekend pass and a $20 online-only annual membership (community access only, no event entry) are also available. Because the club is members-only, prospective guests must apply and pass Tempted's screening process before attending.

Leisure with Pleasure

Unverified

Leicester, Leicestershire

On-Premise Club

Leisure with Pleasure — also traded as Club 29, Club 29 Swing Club, and Bond Street Retreat — occupies a discreet address at 29 New Bond Street in Leicester city centre. It bills itself as Leicester's only alternative sauna for the lifestyle-curious and the more adventurous, and has operated under various names at the same location for many years. The NHS has formally recognised the address as a sexual health outreach venue, with Leicester Sexual Health services running a monthly drop-in clinic there offering free condoms, STI testing, and advice. The venue spreads across three floors. Upper floors contain spa facilities — a hot tub, sauna, and steam room — alongside a cinema room, a dark fetish room equipped with a swing and cross, showers, and private rooms. Reviewers also describe playrooms, a dungeon area, and a disco-and-party room. The club maintains a strict drug-free policy, and multiple guests note that staff are approachable and willing to walk newcomers through the space. Reviewers are divided on atmosphere: several praise the clean, friendly environment, while others have criticised cramped conditions and dated décor. Google-listed hours indicate daytime sessions on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, though schedules and current entry fees could not be independently verified — the club's official website is not currently accessible.

Xchange is a private, membership-only lifestyle club at 2172 Venture Drive in Memphis, Tennessee, serving couples, single women, and single men aged 21 and over. It operates as a members-only social venue rather than a public bar or nightclub, with membership required for entry. The venue occupies more than 3,500 square feet and includes private lounges, a dressing room, and lockers available from the door staff. A large dance floor is paired with a live DJ who takes song requests, and a 102-inch projector screen plays music videos throughout the night. The bar is BYOB only, Xchange does not sell alcohol on site but supplies complimentary mixers and snacks. Parties run every Saturday night from 8pm to 2am; the club is closed the rest of the week. Attendance requires an active membership and photo ID at the door.

The Naughty Pineapple

Leicester, Leicestershire

On-Premise Club

The Naughty Pineapple is a swingers club at 30 Bedford Street South, just outside Leicester city centre in Leicestershire. Run by an owner known to regulars as Vinny, the venue describes itself as one of the smaller clubs on the circuit — friendly, modern, and rigorously clean — with a consistent emphasis on welcoming first-timers and LGBTQ members. It sits a ten-minute walk from Leicester railway station, close to the Haymarket bus terminus, with taxi ranks around the corner on Belgrave Street and the NCP Lee Circle car park as the nearest off-street option. The club has recently undergone a full makeover and features a hot tub (water changed daily; no play permitted inside), a four-tier cinema room with a large-screen TV, changing rooms with free-to-use lockers, private playrooms, a sex swing, female glory holes, a grope box, a fetish dungeon, and a BDSM cross. A small cafe area serves cooked food and soft drinks. Condoms and lube are stocked in every playroom, and towels are available to borrow at £1 each. Photography equipment — including mobile phones — must be stored in a locker or kept to the cafe/social area; cameras and recording devices are strictly forbidden in play spaces. Dress ranges from smart-casual to nude (towels required when sitting nude for hygiene reasons). The club opens Thursday noon to midnight (last entry 22:30), Friday and Saturday 6pm to 2am (last entry midnight), and Sunday 3pm to 10pm. Membership is free on registration: guests supply a name and face photo and are immediately recognised as full members. Entry for couples or single men/TV/TS is £20 for members and £30 for non-members; single women pay £5 (members) or £10 (non-members). The venue operates a BYOB policy — no alcohol licence — with a £3 corkage charge if guests bring their own; soft drinks are sold on-site. Thursday is designated Newbie Day, tailored to first-timers and those with questions about the scene. Regular monthly themed events and periodic bi takeover nights run throughout the year. A strict no-drugs, no-violence rule carries a lifetime ban; guests showing signs of excessive intoxication may be asked to slow down or leave.

Bristol Gardens Health Spa

Brighton, East Sussex

Bath House

Bristol Gardens Health Spa has been running since April 1985 from a pair of adjoining Regency-era lodges on Bristol Gardens, one mile east of Brighton city centre and a short walk from the marina.

MW Euphoria (Midwest Euphoria)

Shakopee, MN

Event Organizer / Rotating Hotel & Venue Takeovers

MW Euphoria, also known as Midwest Euphoria, is a Shakopee, Minnesota–based lifestyle event organizer and membership community that bills itself on its own site as "The Midwest's Leading Lifestyle Party." Rather than operating a single fixed clubhouse, it runs as an adult social-networking and ticketing platform on the Modern Lifestyle network, organizing recurring hotel-takeover parties for its membership alongside affiliated cruises and resort getaways for couples and singles in the swinging/lifestyle community. Because the model is built around renting entire hotel properties rather than keeping one venue, the specific hotel changes from event to event; past parties have taken over properties such as the Baymont by Wyndham in Shakopee. Street addresses for individual events are withheld from the public and shown only to logged-in, vetted members. On-premise play is permitted, and the structure functions more like a private membership network than a walk-in nightclub. Joining requires a free profile with photos and a short write-up; membership categories include Couple, Female, FF Couple, Male, MM Couple, and Other/GNC. House rules call for enthusiastic consent before touching, require couples to arrive and depart together, ban cameras and recording devices outright, and enforce a zero-tolerance policy on drugs and prostitution. Single ladies are described as highly respected, with harassment or stalking grounds for suspension. Pricing and schedule are event-specific rather than fixed weekly hours.

Pulse Lounge

Memphis, TN

Pulse Lounge Memphis is a private, members-only lifestyle venue in Memphis, Tennessee, catering to open-minded couples and singles aged 21 and over. The club operates on an application-and-approval model rather than public walk-in access, with membership tiers set at $55 for couples, $20 for single women, and $75 for single men, alongside optional six- or twelve-month upgrades that add extended event access. The operator frames the venue around discretion, safety, and a curated, upscale social environment rather than a conventional nightclub feel. The space includes lounge areas and private rooms and is BYOB, with the venue supplying ice, mixers, and non-alcoholic beverages at no additional charge. Rather than a fixed weekly night, the club runs a rotating calendar of themed events — from casual mixers to more elaborate seasonal parties such as a Father's Day weekend gathering — with dress expectations that shift by occasion. Members reference an upside-down pineapple as a discreet, insider signal of lifestyle interest that is meaningless to outsiders. Entry requires signing a membership and non-disclosure agreement covering confidentiality (which survives termination of membership for at least five years), a strict no-photography and no-recording policy across all member spaces, and a consent-first code of conduct — violations of either result in immediate revocation of membership without refund. Dress code is enforced: women are expected in sexy club wear such as corsets, thigh-high boots, or mini-skirts (pajamas and beachwear are barred), while men must wear collared shirts and dress shoes, with t-shirts, shorts, sneakers, and sportswear all prohibited. Membership fees are collected discreetly at the door in cash or major credit/debit cards once an application has been reviewed and approved, typically within 48 hours; the venue's exact address is disclosed only to approved members.

Club Privata

Portland, OR

On-Premise Club

Club Privata occupies a discreet, unmarked storefront at 824 SW 1st Ave in downtown Portland, Oregon — easy to walk past without noticing. Billing itself as an upscale "lifestyle club" rather than a sex club, it emphasizes community alongside play, and draws a crowd that skews toward an older demographic, roughly mid-30s to 40s, with plenty of members who come just to dance. The club is run by owners Holly R. and her husband Charles. The venue spans three floors and roughly 8,000 square feet, anchored by a hardwood dance floor lit in blues and magentas with a central go-go cage on a raised platform. The first floor holds the main bar, a locker area, and a room dedicated to flogging and impact play. The second floor adds another bar, a VIP room, private bedrooms, and a balcony overlooking the dance floor. The third floor houses a further bar and a spread of beds framed by drapes and antique mirrors. A late-night buffet is set up near the lockers and coat check, and the club runs two full-service bars rather than allowing outside alcohol. Club Privata is a members-only, 21-and-over venue open Thursday through Saturday nights (Thursday 8pm–2am with the third floor closed; Friday and Saturday 8pm–3am), with last entry roughly 90 minutes before close. Entry requires valid photo ID, a signed waiver, an active membership, and payment of a nightly door fee that varies by event and guest category; a strictly enforced upscale dress code applies club-wide. Single men are welcome but pay noticeably higher membership and door fees than couples or single women, and some theme nights offer discounted or free entry for single women. VIP bottle service areas and a private penthouse suite can be reserved separately.

Alaska Club Kink (ACK)

Anchorage, AK

BDSM/Kink Community Club

Alaska Club Kink (ACK) is Anchorage's one-of-a-kind kink and comedy community club — the rare venue that pairs BDSM education with open-mic nights, karaoke, and stand-up comedy under one roof. Founded by Surge Kulikov after the closure of ACAL in 2019, ACK operates out of subSpace, a 2,000+ sq ft LGBTQIA2S+-friendly, veteran-owned event space at 2217 E. Tudor Road, Suite 3. The club is built around an education-first philosophy. Monthly Kink 101 classes welcome complete beginners, a companion educational website (alaskakinkeducation.com) provides a public library of kink resources, and Dungeon Monitors are present at all events to ensure safe, consensual play. The weekly schedule is packed: Mystery Munches every Thursday (7:30–9:30 PM at The Raven Bar, open to the public), Tuesday Rope Jams and board game nights at subSpace, Friday Open Dungeon (7–10 PM, $20 drop-in), and monthly themed play parties on Saturdays (7 PM–1 AM, $40 general / free for All Access members). Play parties are potluck-style — the club provides finger foods, desserts, and non-alcoholic drinks, and attendees can bring dishes to share. The venue is fully dry: no alcohol is served or permitted, which removes consent complications and makes the space accessible to those in recovery. The 1,000 sq ft open dungeon floor is equipped with a large suspension frame, St. Andrew's crosses, bondage horse, massage tables, and more — all available for member use. Membership is free to join online (processed within a few days), with a paid "All Access Pass" tier that waives event fees, eliminates equipment rental deposits, and grants 50% off play parties. Comedy, theater, and public events are also hosted at subSpace separately from the kink programming, normalizing the space within the broader Anchorage community. In a state where alternative lifestyle spaces are rare, ACK is the community hub.

PLUR Productions / Studio PLUR

Vancouver, British Columbia

Event Organizer

PLUR Productions is Vancouver's longest-running sex-positive and alternative-fetish event production company, operating under the guiding philosophy of Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. Founded by ScottyHotty (Scott BreitKreuz) and tracing its roots to Club8X6 — formerly Vancouver's only privately licensed members-only sex venue — PLUR has grown into an independent producer serving the city's fetish, kink, BDSM, swinger, burner, rave, and LGBTQ+ communities. The company celebrated its 12th annual Mad Hatter's Player Ball in May 2026 and operates as a private membership club in which the door fee for any event constitutes a day membership, consistent with the Supreme Court of Canada's recognition of consensual adult activity in private clubs. Events take place across rotating venues: large-format ticketed parties at licensed nightclubs including The Penthouse, warehouse-style PLURHAUS nights at private locations, the VANTANIOR techno series at a Railtown venue equipped with a Funktion-One sound system, and seasonal PLUR Mansion house parties. All events feature clearly marked sex-on-premise (SOP) play areas alongside social lounge zones, DJ music, stage performances, and a licensed full bar at ticketed venues. Complimentary towels, condoms, lubricants, and lockers are provided with entry. Running parallel to these events is Studio PLUR, a privately bookable dungeon and social space with a 40-guest maximum — outfitted with a St. Andrew's cross, three styled benches, a rope-suspension rig, a floor cage, a corner bar with fridge, pro-audio sound, and a walk-in rainfall shower. Tickets for public events are sold in advance via Eventbrite; per-person pricing ranges from $35 to $40 CAD with no differential between genders or attendance types. Site memberships are available at $30 CAD for six months or $40 CAD for one year, though the door fee alone grants day membership. All guests must be 19 or older. Before entry, PLUR's Cupid consent hosts walk each guest through the club's Top Ten Rules of Consent and issue a consent stamp. Open photography and video recording — including mobile phone use — are prohibited throughout all venues. The recurring iCandy Meet and Mingle, held every second Friday, provides first-timers with a venue tour, a lifestyle presentation, and conversation with experienced PLUR attendees.

Entre Nous 2

Closed

Montreal-Nord, Quebec

Entre Nous 2 — later rebranded as Le Complexe Libertin Obsession — was a lifestyle and libertine complex that operated at 6500 Boulevard Henri-Bourassa Est in Montreal-Nord, Quebec, from February 2017 until it permanently closed in June 2020 after the COVID-19 lockdown forced the business into bankruptcy. The club opened as the successor to Entre 2 Plaisirs, which had operated for 14 years at 3333 rue Belanger in Villeray-Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension, and relocated to a new building near the Autoroute 25 interchange whose frosted-glass exterior and minimal signage gave no indication of the 24,600-square-foot venue within. Its promoters billed it at opening as the largest swinger club in the world. The venue was organized around a wet social circuit — indoor heated pool, spa, dry sauna, and communal showers — designed to ease introductions before members moved into the main complex. A billiard room, dining room, and discotheque sat alongside a dark room, glory holes, a fantasy room, a dedicated couples room, and 26 private rooms rentable in three-hour or twelve-hour blocks; massage suites came in standard, mirrored, and suite configurations. In 2019 the owners annexed an adjacent commercial unit as a full nightclub, pushing the total footprint past 40,000 square feet; monthly themed events sometimes drew between 500 and 1,000 attendees. Annual membership was required of all guests. Per-visit admission was free for women; men paid $40 on weekdays and $60 on weekends; couples paid $20 on weekdays and $50 on weekends (all CAD, as of 2017-2020 operation). The club ran around the clock, seven days a week, with a Tuesday bi night and a Wednesday couples night open to unaccompanied men and women. Public areas were dry; BYOB was restricted to private rooms under the original 2017 operating rules. The venue declared bankruptcy within three weeks of the March 2020 lockdown and vacated the premises in early June 2020. Visitors should not attempt to visit this address.

Club Ambassador

Eisenberg, Thuringia

On-Premise Club

Club Ambassador sits just off the A9 autobahn near the Hermsdorfer Kreuz interchange, where Thuringia, Saxony, and Saxony-Anhalt converge. Owned by Marcus Schuetze, the club occupies a three-storey property spanning roughly 600 square metres with six themed rooms. The house motto: everything is possible, nothing is mandatory. The club holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating on JoyClub. Five distinct event formats cycle across the week. Wednesday Breakfast Party (10:00-18:00) and Sunday Brunch (13:00-18:00) offer relaxed daytime entry. Thursday Come in and Find Out evening (17:00-22:00) charges just 10 EUR across all guest categories. Friday Hot Friday (19:00-03:00) and Saturday Swinger Evening (19:00-03:00); Saturday all-inclusive packages at 99 EUR for couples, 33 EUR for women, and 119 EUR for single men, with JoyClub-member discounts. The three floors house six themed rooms including a Thai room, an atelier, and a fully equipped SM area, alongside a lounge with bar and dance floor, a separate smoking room, a sauna, and an outdoor pool and whirlpool. A buffet provides in-house dining, and overnight accommodation with breakfast is available.

Orlando Swingers Club

Orlando, FL

Event Organizer

Orlando Swingers Club has been running lifestyle parties since April 20, 2000, and now operates as a mobile event host rather than a single fixed venue, staging its gatherings at rented clubs, resorts, and hotels around the Orlando area — most recently based out of 727 Conley St, with a move to the 32801 zip underway (unconfirmed). Party themes rotate through swingers nights, gang bangs, meet-and-greets, orgy and group-sex events, and BDSM sessions, alongside recurring BBC/BWC/BCC theme parties, giving the calendar a broader spread than a typical single-room club. The operation doubles as a lifestyle travel agency and promoter, cross-promoting other hosts' parties for free in exchange for an invite, and runs an affiliated adult store alongside the event side of the business.

On-Premise Club (closed)

Club Discretions ran for nearly a quarter of a century behind an unmarked door at 3304 North 27th Avenue, sandwiched between Thomas and Osborn in the industrial flats of west Phoenix. The club had no street signage — "look for the BLUE lights on the west side of 27th Ave," the website used to read, and that was the only landmark you got. Founded around 2000 by John "Dutch" Van Brunschot and formally incorporated in Arizona in 2003 as Discretions Adult Social Club, the venue was one of a small group of Phoenix lifestyle clubs that survived the city's landmark 1998 anti-swingers ordinance — the one that declared sex clubs "inimical to the health, safety, general welfare and morals of the inhabitants of the city of Phoenix" and was later copied as a template by Las Vegas and Indianapolis. Discretions fought it in federal court alongside Club Chameleon, Guys & Dolls and Encounters, kept its doors open by boarding up its open viewing windows and converting public play areas (including the famously-named "Mass Hysteria" theme room) into private ones, and weathered a 2002 Phoenix PD raid in which staff and managers were briefly arrested. After all of it, the club just kept opening. For the next twenty-plus years it was Phoenix's busiest swingers social club, open seven nights a week — Sun–Thu 8pm to 3am, Fri–Sat to 5am, "363 days a year" by the club's own count. The vibe was unpretentious and a touch retro. A mirrored main stage with a brass stripper pole sat in the centre of the floor, with a separate stripper cage holding two more poles off to the side. Adult films played in the background throughout the building. A non-alcoholic juice-and-soda bar served free snacks and cheap drinks (Arizona state law banned alcohol sales on lifestyle premises, so guests poured their own from a house-issued red cup). Pool table, video games, a resident DJ taking requests, free condoms in every room. Upstairs sat the club's real anchor — nine private, semi-private and voyeur bedrooms, two B&D love swings, a "hideaway loft bed with a view," and what Discretions self-billed as the "LARGEST orgy room" in Arizona. It was a fully on-premises, full-swap club, marketed to all ages from 18 to 80, with a published etiquette guide ("Look Presentable, Ask Questions, Introduce Yourself…") and no formal dress code. By 2023 membership ran $25 per person per year, with a flat door fee of $10 Sun–Thu and $35 Fri–Sat; single women came free once they paid the yearly dues. Discretions did not so much close as go on hiatus. Sometime in 2023 the homepage gained a quiet banner — "Here's to many years of fun and memories, thank you for your loyal patronage. While there are currently priorities to deal with, if it is feasible Club Discretions may return in a bigger, better and more grand fashion than ever." The "Club Discretions 2.0" return never came. The clubdiscretions.com domain expired around December 2024 and now points to a parking page; the Yelp listing was flagged CLOSED at its April 2026 update. The building at 3304 N 27th Ave was taken over in 2024 by Hush Lounge AZ, a newer-generation private members-only lifestyle club that continues the address's long history as a Phoenix lifestyle venue. Of the original 1990s clubs that fought the Phoenix ordinance alongside Discretions, only Club Encounters — one block south on West Clarendon Avenue, opened 1996 — remains in continuous operation.

Probe Ottawa

Ottawa, Ontario

On-Premise Club

Probe Ottawa is a queer-owned and operated private members club occupying the 3rd and 4th floors of 41 York St in Ottawa's Byward Market district. Founded through the vision of Miel Nannini, the club describes its core values as "exploration, community, inclusivity and accessibility," positioning itself as a multi-purpose community hub for consensual kink and adult connection rather than a conventional lifestyle venue. It operates as a private members-only space under Ontario law and maintains an active presence on Facebook, FetLife, and Instagram. The venue spans approximately 3,200 square feet across two floors with distinct characters. The 4th floor holds an open dungeon space with a custom suspension frame, a loft, and a kitchen, and serves as the main check-in point reached via an in-building elevator. The 3rd floor offers a series of more intimate rooms suited to smaller groups and private play. Showers, cleaning supplies, and fresh linens are provided throughout; members are responsible for changing sheets after each use. Probe works alongside an on-site accessibility coordinator and the entire venue is elevator-accessible and wheelchair accessible. The space is scent-free, and the programming reflects that commitment to access: a recurring "Soft and Low Play Party" format is designed specifically for attendees with sensory processing disorders or chemical sensitivities, featuring whisper-only guidelines, dim lighting, no music, and complimentary ear plugs. Probe operates only when events are scheduled — any day of the week between 8am and 2am — rather than on a fixed weekly calendar. Programming is broad: regular offerings include play parties, rope hangouts, impact labs, kink workshops, educational classes, community socials (including aromantic/asexual and queer-specific groups), trivia nights, and kinky life drawing. Most play parties require a current Probe membership; memberships run CAD $40 for three months or $120 for a year, with a $10 temporary 24-hour membership available at the door. Event tickets are typically offered on a sliding scale — Supported ($15), Sustain ($20), Standard ($25), Generous ($30), and Benevolent ($35) — so that pricing is not a barrier. The entry door locks by midnight at the latest, and new members attending their first play party must arrive within the first two hours of the event. No alcohol is sold on site and BYOB is not permitted; non-alcoholic drinks and snacks are provided at play parties.

Club 101

Dayton, OH

On-Premise Club

Club 101 has been Dayton's oldest on-premise members-only lifestyle club for roughly 25 years, anchored at 101 Avondale Drive in a discreet building with private parking. The layout centres on a large open main room with a dance floor, DJ booth, pool table, and adult movie lounge with couches — the club takes evident pride in its DJ show, billing it as the best of any area lifestyle venue. Off the social floor, the space branches into five private rooms sized for one or two couples, two semi-private rooms with windows designed for optional exhibitionism, one large open group room, a slightly smaller group room with a mirrored wall, and a massage table room with BDSM possibilities. Showers, lockers, and a cooler for BYOB drinks round out the practical amenities, with free snacks and soda on hand throughout the night. The crowd skews toward mature, consenting adults — beginners and veterans alike — and the no-pressure ethos is reinforced at every level, from signage to staff. The club is active on Swingtowns, SDC, SLS, SZC, and Fetlife, and maintains a lively theme-party calendar (past events include a Denim & Diamonds Glowy Party and Pasties & Panties nights). In a public-health gesture, management partners with Shameless Care to offer members a free STI education course and supplies.

Planet Swing sits in the small town of Tribsees in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, positioned almost directly off the A20 coastal motorway that connects the Baltic Sea resorts — making it a natural stop for couples and singles holidaying on the coast or the islands. The club occupies around 700 square metres across nine distinct spaces and can hold up to 180 guests, which by north-east German standards puts it firmly among the largest swinger venues in the region. The house philosophy is summed up by its motto 'Alles kann, nichts muss' — everything is possible, nothing is mandatory — and the club bills itself as a private venue for singles and tolerant couples of all ages. The interior takes its cues from a tour of escapist themes: guests move between rooms styled as 1001 Nights, a jungle space, a romance room, a mirrored lounge and a starlit chamber. Alongside the themed areas there is a changing room with lockable lockers, a bar and buffet with dining seating, a fireplace lounge and a dance floor. The wellness wing runs to a sauna, steam bath, whirlpool and massage bench. An SM studio with specialist equipment rounds out the offer, alongside several open play areas, the largest of which accommodates up to 40 people at once. Friday and Saturday evenings are the core party nights, running from 20:00 to 03:00, with prices occasionally adjusted for special events. Standard entry is €20 for single women, €60 for couples and €80 for single men. Dress code is explicitly sexy-erotic — lingerie is specifically encouraged. The rural setting near the A20 draws a mix of regulars from across Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Baltic coast tourists looking to extend a holiday night.

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.

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.

Schlangenkeller

Bendestorf, Lower Saxony

Schlangenkeller has anchored northern Germany's lifestyle scene since 1998, operating as a discreet venue in Bendestorf — a small village roughly 30 kilometres south of Hamburg. Under the ownership of M.G. Schulz — known to guests as Gina — the venue has cultivated a reputation as one of the Hamburg region's most established lifestyle clubs, now in its 28th year. Parties run on a fixed weekly rhythm — Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 20:30 to 01:00, Friday and Saturday from 20:30 to 02:00. Attendance is managed via prior registration through the website's booking form. Hotel Meinsbur sits approximately 100 metres from the club's entrance and extends a 10% room-rate discount to Schlangenkeller visitors using the keyword 'Paris'.

Swingerclub Bluecat

Unverified

Schwetzingen, Baden-Württemberg

On-Premise Club

Tucked at the edge of Schwetzingen Am Langen Sand light-industrial strip — a short drive from the A6 motorway Schwetzingen-Nord exit — Blue Cat draws a mixed, open-minded crowd from across the Rhine-Neckar corridor: Mannheim, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe and the Palatinate. Run by Andrea Dunkel as a deliberately family-scale operation, the club pitches itself explicitly against the anonymous superclubs of the region: 500 square metres, nine individually styled rooms and a house capacity of around a hundred guests. New visitors are invited to arrive early and tour the rooms and party space at their own pace before the evening gets going, giving first-timers an unhurried feel for the layout before they commit to staying. The club opens Tuesday through Saturday from 8 pm, with nights running until 1 am on weekday evenings, 2 am on Fridays and 3 am on Saturdays. Admission is all-inclusive — every price covers the buffet and drinks for the night, with no bar tab to run up afterwards. Women pay €10 on any night; couples follow a sliding scale of €30 on weeknight openings, €45 on Fridays and €50 on Saturdays; solo men pay €100 across the board. Registered JOYclub premium members receive an average €10 discount off the door price. The nine rooms range across a love swing, a cinema lounge, a massage area, a gynecological chair, a kuschelecke (cuddle corner) and a dedicated SM play area, supported by a sauna, a wet area and a terrace for outdoor moments. The central zone holds a bar and a rotating buffet. Parking is available directly around the building.

Swingerclub Passion

Stuhr, Lower Saxony

On-Premise Club

Club Passion sits in the Seckenhausen industrial estate on the southern fringe of Bremen, a short drive from the A1 autobahn at Industriestrasse 37. The club is owned and personally run by Jessica and Patrick Bosse, a couple with their own long-standing roots in the swinging community, and it shows in how the place operates: long-serving staff who are friends first and staff second set a tone the venue itself describes as a very special family-like atmosphere, one where even first-timers quickly find their footing rather than feeling lost in an anonymous crowd. More than 1.5 million visits, a JOYclub Recommendation badge, and a 4.8-star average across 3,288 reviews place it firmly among the most trusted venues in the Bremen catchment. The indoor footprint runs to roughly 270 square metres, maintained at a steady 22 degrees C year-round. The ground floor holds a well-stocked bar (Bacardi, Jim Beam, Malibu, Likor 43 among the brands), a comprehensive warm-and-cold buffet, and a dance floor with a pole and stage area. Playrooms cover the full range: a Caribbean-themed Blue Lagoon private room, a castle-themed Burgzimmer, a coded couples-only section, a sleeping area upstairs, and a dedicated BDSM corner fitted with a swing, spanking bench, and St. Andrew's cross. The wellness zone adds an eight-person whirlpool (water changed daily), a sauna, and shower stations stocked with toiletries throughout the venue. Come summer, a heated outdoor terrace opens with a pool, beach baskets, and a separate cocktail bar, an addition that sets the club apart from most urban indoor venues. Club Passion runs Fridays (19:00-02:00) and Saturdays (19:00-03:00) as its regular nights, with Tuesday afternoon sessions (15:00-23:00) and Sunday parties (14:00-21:00) rotating on alternating weeks. Door prices are all-inclusive - the fee covers the full buffet, alcoholic and soft drinks, condoms, and hygiene supplies, with nothing extra to spend inside. Friday admission runs EUR 20 for single women, EUR 60 for couples, and EUR 80 for single men; Saturday steps up to EUR 30, EUR 85, and EUR 90 respectively, with JOYclub members receiving a discount at every tier. Trans and cross-dressing guests are admitted at 50% of the solo male rate. Dress code is firmly enforced: sexy lingerie and heels for women, latex, leather, or dark underwear with quality sandals for men. First-time visitors can call ahead to arrange a complimentary 30-minute walk-through before doors open - no commitment required.

Joyride

Unverified

London, London

Event Organizer

Joyride is a London-based queer, sex-positive event series operating at the intersection of rave culture, art, and sexual expression. Founded in early 2023 by Irish sex educator MJ Fox and experiential event producer Lydia Fikan, the party draws together DJs, performers, sexuality practitioners, and artists around a shared ethos of joy, playfulness, and consent. Pitched at adults aged 21 and over, Joyride sold out its earliest events through word of mouth alone before securing a bi-weekly Sunday residency at Corsica Studios in Elephant and Castle — one of London's most established underground club spaces. The format centred on two spaces at Corsica Studios: a main dancefloor delivering a genre-fluid programme spanning house, techno, and everything in between, with a focus on queer and femme artists; and two purpose-built playrooms fitted with bespoke kink furniture and sex machines, one of them designed by interior designer Domhnall Nolan. A welfare team, identifiable by yellow bandanas and flashing armbands, circulated throughout every event. Phones and cameras were barred from the dancefloor and playrooms, with stickers placed over camera lenses on entry. Tickets were sold exclusively through Dice and only available in advance, with community and unwaged tickets available on request. Joyride's Corsica Studios residency came to an end in February 2026 when the venue announced its permanent closure; the final party, on 15 February 2026, marked the event's third birthday. As of mid-2026, no successor venue has been confirmed. The dress code required fetish or kink attire — latex, leather, PVC, mesh, lingerie, harnesses — and streetwear was refused entry. The entry age was strictly 21 and over. Prospective attendees should check joyriderave.com and the Dice promoter page for current event information.

Torture Garden

London, Greater London

Club Night / Event Brand

Torture Garden — known universally as TG — is Europe's largest fetish club night, founded in London in October 1990 by promoter and DJ Allen Pelling and art-and-film graduate David Wood. What began in a Shepherd's Bush pub has grown into what is widely described as the world's biggest fetish event network, with Time Out London calling it "legendary" and "a capital institution." The night has attracted figures ranging from Jean Paul Gaultier and Boy George to Dita Von Teese (who made her UK debut at TG) and Marilyn Manson, and it runs a fetish fashion label alongside the club events. TG's London home base is Scala, a converted former theatre on Pentonville Road in King's Cross. The venue spans several floors connected by multiple staircases — there is no lift — and is configured around a main Club Arena, an Eclectic Ballroom playing a rotating mix of burlesque, goth, electro swing, and post-punk sounds, and a dungeon playroom equipped by Benchmarxxx. Larger events also incorporate boudoir-style play rooms. The crowd is a genuinely mixed cross-section: show-offs, goths, industrial punks, burlesque performers, drag artists, and first-timers, drawn together by what journalists have consistently described as a "welcoming, liberating" atmosphere. Events are ticketed in advance only, with tiered entry-time slots (Early: 9pm–10:15pm; Peak: 10:15pm–2:30am; Late: 12am–2:30am) and last entry typically at 2:30am; doors open at 9pm and events run until 6am. Tickets typically range from approximately £33–£37, with a limited allocation of discounted tickets at £25 per event for those on lower incomes. ID is mandatory for all attendees regardless of age: physical, original photo ID only — passport, driving licence, national ID card, or a Validate/citizen card — no digital copies or phone screenshots accepted. The dress code is strict and non-negotiable: Fantasy Fetish, SM, Body Art, Drag, Rubber, Leather, and PVC are all welcome; street clothes, cotton t-shirts, and regular clubwear will result in refusal with no refund.
