A survey was conducted by Fever Parties to find out how likely you are to be a swinger based on your name. Mark Roberts of Fever Parties, revealed that your name can let you know how likely you are to be a swinger…how cool is that? We can’t find the source of the poll itself and can only report the news articles that discuss the findings. Catherine and Paul, if you are reading this you are the most likely candidates to be swingers according

In an exclusive story posted by Radar online, it appears that Mackenzie Phillips the semi-famous, former child star and daughter of John Phillips, leader of The Mamas and The Papas, a super group from the 60s. If you are still not sure who or what we are referring to, the line “All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey” ring any bells? It should, it’s only one of the most famous songs from that era, but I digress. The entire story is

Update Sept. 14: Swingers group to explain use of lodge
Somewhere in New York state, a private swingers club has upset a handful of residents that insist on complaining about it on behalf of the entire community. Doesn’t all this sound familiar? It should since that is usually what happens when folks find out a swingers club is operating

What do you get when you allow gambling, drugs and prostitution in your swingers club? A whole lot of problems and un-wanted attention. The charges were laid, the owner pleaded not guilty and the website for the club remains operational with parties scheduled for September so it seems business as usual is the order of the day.

The new county hotel in Gloucester was to have been the new home of a swingers club catering to all in the lifestyle. As usual, the word adultery is thrown about without an understanding of what it is we lifestylers actually do. The stupidity goes on with calls to vote good against evil and on it goes.

Instead of focusing on a single club, let’s talk about the Pleasure Palace (warning none of the menu links work on this site) swingers club in Tampa, Florida, USA which lost it’s liquor license as recently as October of this year. Fear not, the Pleasure Palace is still going strong and this was taken directly from their website: “We are still working on the liquor, please bare with us. We are def not closing, so you can squash those rumors”. Their legal problems started this summer when Tampa morality police decided they wanted to shut down this club, read several stories reported by Tampa Bay Online. Around the same time, Intimate Times (warning this site is terribly hard on the eyes) swingers club in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada also had it’s liquor license revoked by the powers that be. Unlike in the US, a swingers club losing a liquor license doesn’t register as important enough to make the news at all in the great white north…go figure!

Club 91 located inside of the Beverly Hills Suites hotel in Windsor Locks, Connecticut has been shut down for allegedly hosting swingers parties. Usually, when this kind of story comes up, it’s quite easy to confirm or deny if it was in fact a swingers party but this case is different. Cannot seem to locate any website promoting parties at this location. However, we have clearly found postings of folks holding Halloween parties for adults only at the same club (see picture included in this post). It seems that swingers don’t require getting much press as this article (with video) for NBC affiliate KSN shows. We aren’t sure what the problem is because we live in Canada where the government stays out of our bedrooms, but really, a ’sting’ operation was required for this non-issue. Here’s another short article from yet another NBC affiliate Counton2. If you actually want to read about this story and the details, proper coverage or this story is available from The Journal Inquirer.

Doing research for this site, it’s not often you come across something you could show non-swingers and have them understand that we aren’t so bad after all. This is one such example, when a large swingers website becomes a sponsor of an online child advocacy group, good things start to happen. Swingers Date Club, also known as SDC is now a corporate sponsor of The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP). You can read the press release on the ASACP website or read an older one from 2007 announcing Adult FriendFinder as a platinum member. The association is known for having created the ‘RTA’ (Restricted To Adults) label which is freely available to website owners who want to clearly indicate that their material is not intended for minors.

Meet Nikki and Stewart Hobbs, earlier this year, they got the OK to open Xscape Cambridge in Cambridgeshire, UK, but only after overcoming some objections by local residents. It’s nice to see the club is still in operation, and judging by the photo album, it’s the kind of club that we would most likely attend were we not snow bound here, in northern Canada, but I digress. More swingers clubs should get the kind of press coverage that this club has gotten so far, since it matters not what you say about us, just print the name correctly! First, get a sense for how the club came to be from a story in Cambridge News and then head over to Scarlet Magazine and read their short article on Xscape club. What coverage would be complete without radio? Q103 also has a story that covers the religious angle of anti-swinging and as a bonus, a wonderful video interview with club co-owner, Stu. The club currently offers adult parties on Saturday evenings for single women and couples.

If you have ever dreamt of an exotic locale that is full of nude people basking in the sun, swimming, shopping, eating and otherwise simply enjoying themselves in the buff, then France has a place just for you! Cap d’Agde is a nudist heaven that also attracts swingers and folks with open marriages. Where there are many swingers there will be swingers clubs and as of late it’s become obvious that someone is sending a message for swingers to stay away. So far, 3 lifestyle clubs have been sent up in flames and the speculations are that fundamentalist nudist could possibly be behind the terrorist like attacks. Read about it in the Times Online or Sky News (with photo). One last link for those needing a Beginner’s Guide to Cap d’Agde thanks to the people @ Fever Parties.

There are so many types of swingers out there that it would be impossible to list them all here so let’s take a look at one kind in particular. There are some folks out there, not us, who will seek singles to play with as singles, outside of the couple. The husband can play alone and so can the wife, with full knowledge by the other half. Diane Mapes wrote an article discussing this new term for Seattle PI entitled: Single Shot: Single? Married? What about both? To be honest, at first it was very exciting to read and then it just went on to prove that, even as a single gal who is open enough to interview lifestyle folks, she becomes judgemental in the end. Take a line like “So the two had a long talk and decided to keep the marriage, but kick monogamy to the curb” - keep the marriage and salvage it by taking up swinging!?! Well if this author had done her research and knew anything about the lifestyle, you know that becoming a swinger to save your marriage is a sure fire way to have things go oh so horribly wrong. Another example is this statement towards the end of her article: “Maybe it’s just me (or all those corny romantic comedies I’ve watched over the years), but if I were going to be unfaithful, I’d probably do it the good old-fashioned honest way, by sneaking around behind my husband’s back.” Hmmm, I thought we were clear that swinging isn’t cheating so what is she referring to when she says unfaithful? Also, she would rather cheat on her lover than have permission to have sex with anyone she wants…oh, so confused?!?

Here is another story that has nothing to do with swingers or swinging, but you wouldn’t know it from reading this headline or this headline. When you take into account that this monster became a member of the world’s largest sex site, Adult FriendFinder, which just so happens to be a well known swingers site, it make no sense as to why they would use these kind of headlines, except to propagate false news. It’s quite obvious he had setup the profile to have sex with other ladies, which has nothing to do whatsoever with swinging. It’s a sad state of affairs when the media can only use the word ’swinger’ when the aim is to shock or even repulse. A more appropriate, non misleading headline should of read something like Neil Entwistle posted an AD on an online sex site - period! If you are still wanting more proof, here is the CNN story as well as BBC news.

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“.

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 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.

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…

Michael Rollins reports in The Oregonian: Slain Washington track coach used swinger web site. Cops question mistress, husband. Not sure what the connection to Adult FriendFinder actually is, but it sure does sell more newspapers I’m sure since it was first reported in SeatllePI by reporter Scott Gutierrez. If everybody wants to write and read about swingers, how come we have such a hard time weeding out the real swingers from all the tire kickers? 38 year old Jeremy Scully was found dead and now they are wondering if the fact that he was a swinger had anything to do with it.

You can’t blame the visitors to BigPond’s Game Arena section when they saw an article with the clever title of ‘The Wii gets a game for swingers‘. Mind you, the author Joaby doesn’t refer to the lifestyle per say, you know he is using the sexy headline to attract curious looky loos. Skip the article as it is not what we are interested in but go down and read the comments as the discussion goes where you think it will end up going. Yup, the majority of these members show their true ignorance by posting your typical slanders such as disturbing, key parties (I’ve never been to one, have you?), scared to end up with a fat person or god forbid, someone uglier than you such as posted by member Hawky, who you know wants to experience the good life, but can’t get beyond the stereotypes to find out if swinging would actually suit him and his partner. One last thing, these people chose to read this article even though the title was more than suggestive and then they publicly slam swinging, makes you wonder why they read the article in the first place?

Paul Stocker says that he saw Josef Fritzl and his wife at a swingers club by the name of Caribik (translated to English), near Amstetten Austria, in the late 90s. Now the rest of the world probably would just read this story and frown without spotting the questionable content. His wife watched in a corner while he had sex with a younger woman?!? Excuse me, but unless European clubs work differently than North American clubs who is this young lady that was so in need that she chose Josef over the zillion other single guys available that night? A little more detail is available from the story published in the Sun. So many questions, but man it goes to prove that even normal looking swingers can be freaks, weirdos, or plain insane in the brain…caveat emptor.
