It’s just beyond me how people can protest a swingers club in their neighbourhood when there are thousands of worthy causes that need volunteers with a lot of spare time on their hands. It may be wrong to be a swinger, but it sure feels right to us! On to the story, The Hunt Club of Brevard, located in Melbourne, Florida is getting some attention in the media because of nosey neighbours. You can read the shortest story ever published or actually read a full article about the protest.

Chateau de View was located in Pueblo, Colorado and operated by Dorian Lieto, formerly known as ‘The Hideaway Resort’. His oldest daughter is currently in the process of taking donations as this club was not only for swingers parties, but also the home of his family. It’s times like these that the swingers community need to reach in their pockets and help keep the lifestyle alive in Colorado. You can visit the club’s former website which has now been replaced by a letter form Dorians Daughter. Greg and Sheryl’s interracial swinging blog has a bit more insider information and you can also read some news coverage which includes video.

A swingers club opening should make the news and this story is no different, read this BBC Story entitled: Fears over village swingers’ club and another story entitled: Swingers’ Clubs Complaints from the This is Cornwall website. Located in north Devon, UK, Club Vanilla owner Roger Stanbury said the premises in Horswell near Bishops Tawton are fulfilling a need in the area. We think that it may attract non lifestyle people by mistake based on it’s name, but make no mistake, this is a swingers club. Complete with erotic areas, a jacuzzi, dance floor, DJ, exotic floor show and a themed cocktail on arrival.

Never heard of Alisa Gould-Simon before, but she does a great job giving us a break down of the New York city swinger’s club scene. Because we live in a time zone further west, visiting NYC was honestly never on our radar. But you know what, after reading this blog post, we suddenly have an urge to visit all the over-rated tourist attractions just so we can partake in some lifestyle action on Broadway.

We can’t speak for the past (read: before Internet) but have friends who have been in the lifestyle longer than the Internet has been around. They confirm that it was very difficult if next to impossible to actually make good connections. Maybe that’s why now that most of us like minded people have a computer that businesses have caught on that offering adult themed venues to spend our money will not be a waste. Cruises, resorts, camping, conventions, clubs, magazines, websites, books, DVDs, pod-casts, help, advice, how-to’s and the list goes on for all the products and services now available to swingers from all walks of life. This news story ‘Swingers Are Growth Business for U.S. Firms‘ was written in the summer of 2007 but still relevant.

Couples International has made headlines lately because of changes to their business type. The clubs owners Bryan and Leesa Horn are trying to have their venue recognized as more of a nightclub type than your typical swingers club. It is still a place where adults can come to have sex if they so choose. A blog called: Emily Everywhere has lots of discussion on this as well as a video interview with the club owners. It’s always nice to see what the regular folks think about swingers once they go beyond the stereotypes. You can read an article as well as view the club’s website.

I have heard of Wichita, Kansas before as I’m a bit of a geography buff, but to be honest, I had to check an online map to find out where it is. Let’s just say that if a Canadian were to drive straight south from Winnipeg, Manitoba he would hit Wichita as soon as he got just below the mid-way point in the USA…in other words in the middle of nowhere. Four undercover police officers made the arrest at a west end club (Paul’s Place). Just makes you wonder how long they spent watching before deciding to put an end to the fun? You can read the very short and not much actual news story here.
