These Are The Best Clubs For Swingers, According To #open Users

Resources For Swingers And Other NM Folks

During our recent SWINGING 101 workshop, a number of our #open community members asked for a list of swingers’ club recommendations — so we’ve created one!

One caveat — we’d like to acknowledge that the clubs listed below are crowd-sourced recommendations, and so they’re based on individual experiences. Swinging has been historically heteronormative. While it’s progressed in the past few decades, we recommend that those of you who identify as queer or bisexual (especially bisexual men) seek out clubs that openly support LGBTQIA+ patrons. We strongly suggest reaching out to the club or party hosts as you’re exploring your options, to get a feel for whether you’ll be comfortable visiting (and perhaps playing) with their group!

It’s also important to note that on-premises swingers clubs aren’t the only way to connect. Many swing communities network through mixers or other social events where on-premises sex isn’t on the menu. Additionally, they will often have house parties (usually hosted by members in a private home), hotel parties, or host parties at another sex-positive venue — all of which are generally open to sexual play & intimate connections.

Swingers Clubs

Some clubs that came highly recommended to us are listed below. If you see a star next to the name, it means that one or more of the #open team has visited and personally would recommend the space!

“It’s the club we find most conducive to meeting new people or having first dates because you are able to have leisurely conversations naked by the pool without the time crunch or loud music that make other clubs difficult”

More Swinging Resources

Because we know that this is a short list, we also wanted to provide a more general list for you to check out; there are many clubs around the world that you can research, visit, and see whether they might be a great fit for your needs. This list is one of the most comprehensive we’ve found.

If you’re curious about swinging, but not ready to set foot in a club (or don’t have one nearby), a great way to start is by connecting with people who are already part of the swinger community; you can search “#swinger” or “#swinging” in the #open app.

You’ll find people in your area with all experience levels, and maybe even find a play date for your first swing party, too!

You can also check out some of the amazing podcasts, blogs and books about swinging, just head to your podcast player like apple, itunes and spotify and search ‘swinging’
