Swinger Club 101: What Newbies Should Know Before Going to a Lifestyle Club

Swinger Club 101: So You’re Thinking About Going…
Alright. Let’s talk about it.
You’ve been curious. You’ve Googled things. Maybe you’ve lurked on lifestyle sites. Maybe you’ve even bought an outfit that’s been sitting in your closet waiting for its debut.
And now you’re staring at a swinger club event thinking, “Okay… but what actually happens in there?”
That’s exactly why we recorded this QUICKIE.
Because let me tell you something — the anxiety before your first lifestyle club visit? It’s real.
“If I’ve never done something before, I am extremely anxious.”
That’s me. That’s Adam. Mr. Podcast Host. Still gets anxious walking into a new club.
First Things First: It’s Not a Free-For-All
Most clubs require a membership. Some offer daily passes. Some require you to upload your ID beforehand. Many are BYOB. Most have rules.
This isn’t some underground chaos scene. It’s structured. Organized. Clean. Staffed. Managed.
And yes — usually surprisingly classy.
What You’ll See When You Walk In
- Dance floor & DJ
- Tables & couches (secure one if you can)
- VIP sections
- Playrooms with curtains or doors
- Possibly a BDSM area
- Photo backdrop area
- Lockers or cubbies
Some clubs allow phones in certain areas. Some don’t. Always ask. Always respect the rules.
What To Wear
Club attire. Dress like you care.
Look good. Feel confident. Themes matter. Don’t show up dressed like you were headed fishing and accidentally turned into the parking lot of a lifestyle club.
“Look your best. First impressions matter.”
What To Bring
Our bag usually has:
- Condoms (yes, even if they provide them)
- Lube
- Gum or mints (we put them on the table — public service)
- Body spray
- Extra outfit
- Wipes
- Chapstick
- Fan (because clubs get HOT)
And tip the staff. Bring cash. The people cleaning rooms and changing sheets? They earn that.
The Most Important Rule: Consent
I don’t care if someone is dancing topless.
I don’t care if someone is bent over.
I don’t care if you’ve been flirting online for six months.
Consent. Is. Everything.
Ask before touching. Ask before joining. Ask before assuming.
Don’t Go In With Expectations
This one’s big.
If you go in expecting fireworks, orgies, and magical lifestyle fairy dust… you might leave disappointed.
If you go in expecting to enjoy your partner and vibe with the atmosphere?
You’re going to have a blast.
“Don’t go in with expectations.”
It Might Feel Cliquey
Yes. It can feel like everyone knows everyone.
But guess what?
They were new once too.
Tell the host you’re new. Ask for a tour. Say hi to your neighbors. You’d be shocked how friendly people actually are.
Exhibitionism & Voyeurism
You might discover something about yourself.
I did.
Turns out… I enjoy an audience more than I expected.
Clubs allow you to explore that safely — curtains open or closed, your choice.
