Re-Inventing The Lifestyles Family of Companies

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Those seasoned swingers already know of the existence of the Lifestyles family of companies, and their most famous service NASCA International. However, like all growing communities, everyday brings new couples and singles to the lifestyle and the learning curve can be daunting when you are trying to get up to speed on all the lifestyle has to offer. Here is a message from Lifestyles about their recent office move as well as phone carrier change that we thought was worth passing on:

TV Show: Secret Diary of a Call Girl

Monday, June 16th, 2008

High on the heels of the Swingtown pilot airing earlier this month, the folks over at Showtime have brought ‘Secret Diary of a Call Girl’ from the UK to be shown on this side of the pond. Meet Belle, played by Billie Piper, a actress and pop star in the UK, a high class escort located in England. Reuters has a good introduction story for the show titled: Call Girl reveals secrets but restrains humor. But you don’t have to wait until Showtime airs it, you can watch several episodes of the show directly on the ITV website. The Showcase Canada or Showcase USA websites have all the episodes listed along with their descriptions. According to the list, there are 2 episodes of interest to swingers and swinging in general: Episode 2 where she attends an orgy party and Episode 7 where a couple hires her for a foursome. You can purchase the original book that inspired the series from Amazon or the book from the series.

DVD: Swingers (2002) by Stephan Brenninkmeijer

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Since this movie was filmed and released in the Netherlands, it is sub-titled in English. Apparently, the director is part of a very well to do family and was able to shoot this movie in his uncles mansion…can you say low budget? You can start by reading several reviews by members of the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). This movie is available for purchase on Amazon in PAL version as well as the sub-titled English version. You can view a very erotic, quick movie preview by going directly to the website for Swingers the Movie. There is also a trailer on the website but be warned, the site is not in English, however the trailer is?!?

Blackmail + Threesome = Jail Time for Hong Kong Couple

Monday, June 16th, 2008

A couple from Hong Kong has gone to jail over black-mailing a newly wed woman to join them in a threesome. You can read the story: Hong Kong couple jailed for tricking newly-wed woman into threesome on the EarthTimes website. Here is another angle on the story from The Standard: Couple in threesome case jailed. Finally, the daily telegraph has fun with this headline by claiming: Sex mad couple caged in Honkers. The bottom line in case you don’t feel like reading these stories: “Wong, who the court heard had Chan’s name tattooed on her pubic area, was jailed for two years and two months after being convicted of aiding and abetting rape and three charges of procuring“.

Meet The World’s Largest Internet Sex & Lifestyle Network

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Most that have been in the online dating scene or browsing swingers websites already know that Adult FriendFinder is one of the biggest sex sites out there. Recently, Penthouse purchased Various Inc. which is the company that owns and operates AFF and it’s various other niche websites. If there was any doubt before that this was the largest Internet sex network, the fact that the Penthouse family is now spearheading the entire operation, you would be best served to take notice.

TV Show Review: Swingtown

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Tonight was the big night for the very first public broadcasting for the Swingtown TV pilot. We are promised one hour of pure 70s sexual revolution in the way of getting to be a fly on the wall in the midst of suburban swingers. The short description in my TV listings promoted the show in this way: “Susan and Bruce Miller move their family into an affluent Chicago suburb and find themselves at the center of the social and sexual revolution of the 1970s“. The series is presented as a drama and from all the buzz on the Internet, most are thinking it won’t last beyond the first airing while others are cringing at the very thought of having swingers becoming the new mainstream trend all due to a new TV show. My guess is that your local swingers club will be very busy this week-end what with all the looky-loos that will be attracted to the lifestyle after having seen this show..that is if anyone besides this author watches it?

Toronto, Canada Gets A New Swingers Club This Week-End

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

Club Menage a Quatre or simply Club M4 to close friends, is set to open their doors for the first time on Saturday, June 7th, 2008 @ 8pm. The party will include a full diner buffet as well as 10,000 square feet of space for you to party in. They boast of having a locker room with full size lockers, on-site parking, multiple play rooms as well as group play areas, two poles and a private art gallery. The site seems to be a work in progress as the image gallery and video gallery are not functional as of this writing and the rest of the information is sparse at best. But who could blame them, who has time to update and promote a grand opening event on the web when they are probably madly making last minute preparations to have the club ready for the big Saturday party. Oh, one last thing, for those non french speaking readers, Menage a Quatre simply means a ‘Foursome’ in french, now you know.

25% of Baby Boomers Open to Threesome According to Dating Poll

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

A poll taken by some users of the site LavaLife showed that the single baby boomers are happy with they way things are going for them. The good news is that more of them are sexually active, looking for threesomes and enjoy sex more now than they did before they hit 40. Reuters interviewed Marina Glogovac and prepared this story: Single boomers enjoy sex and do not want to wed: poll. On a side note, this poll was conducted to cover North American boomers and includes both Canadians and Americans in the results.

The American Association for Nude Recreation Frowns Upon Swinger Friendly Events

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

The Caliente nude resort located in Land O’ Lakes, Florida has been handed a suspension by the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) for hosting lifestyle friendly parties. It seems, the problem is they advertise these events on websites that are swinger friendly, and the association, which bills itself and it’s members as family friendly has started an investigation on the matter. Read about “Pasco nudist resort suspended by national association” as published on a St. Petersburg Times website, and then show your support to Caliente by visiting one of their parties whenever you are in that part of the world.

Swingfest Gazette May 2008

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

The strangest thing keeps happening to my email…it keeps sending me the newsletter one month late? The May edition the SwingFest  newsletter arrived in my inbox on June 1st, but no matter, this month’s issue is full of goodies. Here is a quick look at the table of contents: See Who’s Coming to SwingFest; SwingFest Awards; Aahz Party Added; SwingFest Rumors; Room Availability; SwingFest Specials; SwingFest Videos; Where to Find Other Guests; How Can We Get Involved? Take a look at the picture below for one of the special events being held during the SwingFest convention.

Is Your Local Swingers Club ‘Theme Happy’?

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

A reader from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada writes in to ask if every swing club is theme happy like their local club Intimate Times. The message goes on to say that it is quite a nice club with a good crowd but they could sure use a break from the constant barrage of theme nights. A quick look at their calendar also shows a blatant disregard for copyright laws in regards to using so many well known images to promote their events but I digress. To be honest, this author could not locate a single party that was not tied to some kind of theme. Also, on a more puzzling note, the message went on to say that apparently the DJ is lost in a world of his own, headbanging to music only known to a select few and groaning at the thought of playing a request for mainstream music. Maybe it’s just us, but doesn’t the DJ make or break a club in many big cities around the world? One final warning, this site is being built like those bad home sites from the late 90s and is really hard on the eyes…blinking text, highlighted text, underlined text that aren’t click-able, bad backgrounds, and when is the last time you saw frames on a site lol? Surely this is being done on purpose to achieve some kind of nostalgic image, I refuse to believe that this is a serious website and should be taken as comic relief for it’s members.

TV Show: Swingtown Sexy…Not Naughty

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Most of us anticipating the start of this show are used to all the delayed starts by now. But it seems that June 5 is when the pilot is supposed to be shown for it’s 13 show summer run. How can I say for sure that June 5th will be a go, well because it’s listed in my Personal Video Recorder’s TV guide and I’ve got it scheduled to record the series. You can come back to this site for a complete review of the pilot after it runs. In this interview from the Canadian press, Grant Show discusses the fact that there really isn’t much sex in the series, but it just “oozes sexuality”. The site Underground Online (UGO) has a review of Swingtown and the author doesn’t think there will be a demand for this kind of show, but only time can tell.

US Politics, Presidents, Governors & The Miami Velvet Swingers Club

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Don’t you just love it when a swingers club makes news not because of what happens or what they are up to but because of who attends? Jeffrey Toobin, wrote an article for the New Yorker, The Dirty Trickster, and was taken to the Miami Velvet swingers club by Roger Stone himself. Names like Richard Nixon and Eliot Spitzer are being thrown around, and not being a big fan of US politics ourselves (mostly because we don’t live there) the article doesn’t hold much interest for us, but may for you, be a revelation if you are a conspiracy theorist hehehe. Here is another take on the story from New York Magazine: So, One Day, Roger Stone Brings Jeffrey Toobin to a Swinger’s Club…

NASCA Directly Promoting “New” Swingers Documentary: PlayCouples

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

A couple days ago an email was sent from NASCA promoting a new documentary film that had been in the works for the past five years. Surely we were well aware of this fact and the anticipation was killing us!?! Not only had we never heard of this video, but it turns out that this video has been for sale as a DVD online for several years now and is not all that new after all. We wish they would have been honest with us instead of treating us like idiots and trying to pawn an already existing video as a new video. In fact, what is new is the ability to view the video online (speaker warning: this is one of those sites that turns on the music with no way to turn it off) for a mere $6.95 USD instead of having to purchase the DVD at well over $20 USD. Trailers for the video were available on sites like Myspace and mcomet but for some unknown reason were taken offline. Finally, a little further research shows that this film is owned by the lifestyles organisation so it should be a very well made video, however it’s too bad they resorted to this kind of advertising in order to increase their sales.

If you ever wished that you could purchase an anklet, a necklace or even some temporary tattoos to identify yourself as a swinger, now you can. Nipple-Charms has some jewelry just for you and even some fancy new kind of of temporary tat called a crystal tattoo. Mind you, there are many more ankle bracelet selections than tattoos or necklaces, but you do have a decent selection to choose from including regular temporary tattoos if the crystal kind are a little too flashy for you. The variety of jewelry being offered on this site makes it well worth the time to visit. Gentlemen, show off your beautiful lady by accessorizing her with lifestyle jewelry from Nipple-Charms.

Free Naturalamb Trojan Condom Samples

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

First the bad news, only our US readers will be able to send away for a free sample pack of these Naturalamb brand of condoms. I guess they are OK with selling condoms outside of the US, but you don’t deserve a free sample unless you reside in the US? I don’t get that?!? On the positive side, I’m told that the samples do arrive fairly quickly, within a couple weeks at least. Most who have gotten these free samples said they emitted a small odor but also loved how thin they were and would be buying some more. Because these are non-latex condoms, those of us like myself that can have adverse reactions need not worry about swelling anything other than your sex organs.

Swingfest Host Mary Carey on Celebrity Rehab TV Show

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

If you are going to be attending Swingfest this year and are curious about the host, Mary Carey…you can get a glimpse of her in a VH1 TV show called: Celebrity Rehab. The show itself has already ended, but for sure you will be able to catch it in re-runs as summer is here and that’s what we know happens during that time. Seems she was admitted for a drinking problem but that hasn’t stopped her from having a drink or two or three. Wish we were attending this year’s event as I would love a chance to see her in person, she does look like a real down to earth type of person. It seems that she may also be the cause of a minor scandal that caused actor Daniel Baldwin to walk off the show, but according the Mary, it seems Mr. Baldwin had ideas of his own. I am sure that there will be more attendees this year at Swingfest due to Mary Carey’s popularity from being on a reality TV show.
