Ohio Swings

Ohio Swings describes itself as “a house party that caters to couples and singles 21 and over,” hosted at a private home on a 16-acre country property in New Carlisle, Ohio. Its About page calls them “no pressure laid back parties,” and on-premise play is allowed. Doors open every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evening, and the events calendar also lists Sunday afternoon meet-and-greet socials. The house has eight private rooms, two showers (one single, one for four people), about 32 lockers, condoms and plenty of parking. Rooms to sleep in are first come, first served and not before 3 am. It also runs themed parties, where dressing to the theme is optional, and special events such as camp-outs. Couples, single men and single women are admitted, with no membership: guests give a cash donation at the door and may stay until morning at no extra charge. It is BYOB because no alcohol is sold, though setups for drinks are supplied. Dress is neat and clean, with no work attire, dirty clothes or sweat pants. Cell phones stay in the car, cameras and recording devices are banned, couples arrive and leave together, consent is required before touching, and drugs and prostitution are not tolerated.
