<description>The Swinngers Connection&lt;div&gt;Lexington, Ky USA&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;By Amanda, theswingersconnection.com&amp;nbsp;Lifestyle Reviews&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What can I say about the Tennessee Elite? Well let me start by saying that they are beyond amazing.&amp;nbsp;On New Years Eve I attended one of their lifestyle parties held in Knoxville, TN and had the time of my life!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First of all the hotel was gorgeous and they had a large number of guest, a good size dance floor and a wonderful DJ. There were also some tasty finger foods available which I thought was a great addition.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Even though this was held in a hotel it was more like a club party. They had two designated playrooms, one of which had a huge ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<title>PJ's: small crowd in Tennesee, bring a lot to drink</title>
<link>http://theswingersconnection.com/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=161</link>
<description>TheSwingersConnection.com &lt;br /&gt;USA&lt;br /&gt;By One Secret TSC Couple&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We recently attended a party at PJ's near Cookeville, TN. It was about a two hour drive from our home but PJ's we wanted to try something different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The club is really a country home in a very secluded area. Even though we thought we were going to end up on some dead end country road the house is really not that far from the interstate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On your way to the club you pass through some beautiful country and a very unique little village called Red Boiling Springs. There is a bed and breakfast there but we chose to just go to the club first and see what they recommended for lodging. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Couples and single ladies can just drop in for the parties but single men must call ahead first between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM (right I said AM) Monday through Friday only. I appreciate this requirement since it means that any single males at the party have been interviewed beforehand and are not just making a last minute decision to drop in. We had not called ahead and the owner had no idea that we would be reviewing his club during our visit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we drove up the private road my first impression of the house was that it was smaller than we had pictured but this proved to be deceptive after we were inside. Cars were parked on the grass behind the house but there was plenty of space. My husband dropped me off near the steps to the deck at the entrance since I was wearing heels and it would be hard to walk on the grass. We entered through the kitchen door where we were greeted by a very personable lady. Guests are to leave their alcohol on the counter (it is BYOB). The donation is $25 for couples (single ladies are free and single men are $50) and, since we had not been there before, had to sign some release forms and read the rules.&amp;nbsp; Then we were given a tour of the club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The club consists of two floors. Upstairs is the kitchen with a dining table, a small living room with a very comfortable couch and some chairs, a standard home type bathroom with a sink, shower, commode and clean towels just off the living room and two bedrooms down the hall from the bathroom. Both bedrooms had queen size beds but the first bedroom was rather small. The second bedroom was a bit larger and there was a third bedroom door which we were told was not for guests since this house is where our hosts live during the week. The owners have been hosting parties at this location for over 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went down the stairs into a medium sized dance room complete with mirrors where the music was already going and a few people were standing around. Also there is a back porch in addition to the deck at the entrance and these, together with the dance floor are the only places smoking is allowed. There is also a massage area and setups to mix drinks and snacks are provided. Mostly this is pretzels and chips with dip. We had brought our own mixers but could probably have made do with what was provided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After our tour we decided to go back upstairs, fix some drinks and I went to the bathroom. My husband sat in the living room to wait for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though we had arrived early by some other club's standards we had been told that most of their regular guests arrive early and leave early because it was necessary to drive a few miles to any motel in the area. The advertised hours are from 7:00 PM to &amp;quot;whenever&amp;quot;. We had arrived at 8:15 PM so this appeared to be the full party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While my husband was waiting he told me two other couples arrived and appeared to be regulars. Also one more single man arrived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I came back we went downstairs to the dance area. The upstairs is rather brightly lighted but the dance area is dimly lit with the appropriate dance floor lighting. In the small space the music seemed a little loud but the other people didn't seem to mind. There were two other couples and two single men standing around talking. The two women were dressed in sexy outfits but all of the men seemed to be wearing normal, casual attire and jeans. One even had on a logo t-shirt and what looked like work jeans and boots. It seemed like a rather small group. We listened to the music for a few minutes but decided to look around a little on our own. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we were exploring we found two more couples in the massage room. Clothing is optional inside the house and these couples were nude. One woman was receiving a massage from the other three. She seemed to be enjoying it. Both of the women in the massage room had removed their clothing but the men were both full clothed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We found another couple on the back porch smoking. We struck up a conversation and found that they were regulars. We asked if this was the usual size crowd and they said that it was slow that night. According to the man Friday nights were usually slower and the Saturday night crowds were much larger. (We had deliberately chosen Friday night because they allow single males.) We talked for a while and then they asked if we would like to join them on the dance floor. As we were walking to the dance area I reached up and adjusted the collar on my husband's shirt. This is my signal that I really don't want to do anything with this couple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We danced, the four of us, for a couple of songs and then excused ourselves to go refill our drinks then we went back upstairs. When we entered the well lit kitchen it seem very bright after the darker dance area. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to the kitchen and my husband gave me my drink which I downed in one gulp and then, handing my glass to him I motioned for another. He fixed me a second drink which I also chugged with a single bend of my elbow. We watched a scene on the kitchen table for a little while after my husband fixed me another drink which I sipped slowly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enjoyed watching the people in the kitchen but noticed that there were some people in the living room so we walked in there, both of us completely without clothes by now. In the living room was a rather attractive young couple. We struck up a conversation and found out that this was their first time at PJ's. They had seen some of the advertising online and had thought they would try it out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the living room I struck up a conversation with an older man who was very polite. He said I was very beautiful and wondered if I would go to one of the bedrooms with him. He was so sweet and polite and I thought it might be fun, it was so cute the way he asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two steps is all it took to realize I should not have ...&lt;br /&gt;</description>

<title>The Tennessee Social Club a great place for everyone in the lifestyle</title>

&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;A review of Tennessee Social Club, Nashville, TN&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Morna O'Keeffe, The Swingers Connection, Swing Club Critic &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
We had not been to the Tennessee Social Club before but some people we
met in Atlanta told us about it so when we found ourselves in Nashville
on a Friday night we decided to check out the party. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The club is easy to find and is located close to downtown Nashville. It
was a very short cab ride from our hotel just off of Church Street. The
cab driver had no problems even though we had carefully printed out the
address all we had to say was &amp;quot;the social club&amp;quot; and he knew exactly
where to go. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
I had called ahead and talked with the manager about writing a review
of their club for TheSwingersConnection.com but it is not necessary for
couples to call before going. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, Tennessee Social Club is a private club so new members are
required to fill out some forms and agree to the rules of the club when
you arrive. You also pay your fees at that time. The fees are quite
reasonable only $40 for a couple with a special $10 one day membership.
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The woman a the registration desk said that she would give us a tour of the club later if we would like and directed us to the downstairs where the bar and dance floor is. She explained that they have a cash (or
credit card) bar downstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The Social Club has been in business for over 30 years but this is its
third location. We found the place to be very relaxing with a nice size
dance floor and a long bar for socializing. Since arrived about 10:30
on a Friday night I was afraid we would be a little early but we found
about 6 couples and 3 or 4 single guys already in the bar. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The owner told us that Friday and Saturday nights were usually very
busy. I ask him about about the Wednesday and Thursday night parties
since this is something most clubs do not offer and he said they were
slower but good nights for couples who are looking for single guys. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The dance area has a great set up and feel to it. There is a long bar
with plenty of space and a really friendly bartender. There are also
plenty of tables around the dance floor for couples to sit. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
We went to the bar and ordered our drinks and found a table near the
dance floor. The DJ played a good mix of dance music and seemed to know
exactly which tracks to play to get people out of their seats and up on
the dance floor. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
By the time we had a couple of drinks the place was really starting to
fill up. Most of the tables were taken and there were a lot of people
who didn't have a place to sit. I would suggest arriving early if you
want a table. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I was wearing a blue, mid-calf length dress and heels. My companion was wearing a black double breasted suit with a maroon turtle neck shirt. Most of the other client&amp;egrave;le were dressed much more casually. The girls seemed to favor normal casual street wear, a top with jeans however a few were wearing short skirts. No one else seemed to be wearing high heels. Most of the men were also wearing jeans and collared shirts. A few of the men were wearing shirts and slacks which made them look much more appealing just like the skirts on the ladies caused me to notice them more.&amp;nbsp; I would suggest you dress more casually for this club, especially on Friday nights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few of the women, most of them about my age, were getting out on the dance floor but most of the dancing that early seemed to be rather PG for a swingers club.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will say that the DJ was great. He was able to bring the ladies out on the dance floor and each time he played a track you would think that he could not make the music more compelling but the next track would bring more excitement to the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a very good DJ. I watched as people, mostly women dancing with each other, would finish a dance and go to their table,&amp;nbsp; grab a quick drink, and hurry back on the dance floor because the next track being played was so exciting. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My companion held out his hand silently asking if I would like to dance. Well I love to be watched and I knew we would stand out on the dance floor so, of course, I obliged. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I rarely wear panties and never under a evening dress so as we danced my companion pulled my dress up higher and higher as I ground my hips and my crotch in to his leg. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I knew I was flashing my butt and that was the whole idea. This is why I never go to a club wearing slacks or jeans. Give me a skirt or dress any day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After we danced we had another drink. More and more people had arrived and the bar area was getting pretty crowded. So far no one had caught my eye except one girl, part of a couple, but she and her escort were talking with another couple and the opportunity never arose to ask her to dance. Shortly after I noticed her they left for one of the play rooms with another couple. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was also a single guy I noticed at the bar. He was wearing jeans but he also had on a western shirt and cowboy boots. He looked like a real cowboy and could have been the Marlboro man except he was short, only 5'9&amp;quot;, and had a very fair,&amp;nbsp; almost baby, face. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I made the excuse of going to the bar in order to step up near him. I said hi and soon we were in a conversation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was really a cowboy! The bull riding championships were in town that weekend. He had heard about the club from someone at the arena so he had come by cab to see what it was like. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had never been to a swingers club before and said he didn't know how things worked. I told him pretty much the same as any night club and to just relax and have fun. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I flirted, ladies you know what I mean, with him for a few minutes and told him I would like to talk some more with him but I needed to look around the club a little in order to do my review. I asked if he would like to join us while we took our tour of the upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My companion told the manager that we were ready to see the rest of the club and he asked one of the women on staff to show us the upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was not as crowded as the bar. In fact, upstairs there were hardly any people. I thought, at first, I was the only female there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were 3 guys standing outside the door to one room. One guy was coming out of the door zipping up his pants and one of the 3 went in unzipping his pants. The cowboy next to me was just looking at the scene before us with such a look of wonder that I almost had to laugh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our guide took us to the door of that room and the guys stepped aside so we could go in and look. We walked in and it was a rather large, long room with a very good collection of bondage
equipment on the walls.&amp;nbsp; There was also a sex swing hanging from the ceiling. A woman was in the swing. She had a blindfold on. Her hands were tied to the straps and her feet tied to the stirrups with bright, soft looking, red ribbons. On we went on with the tour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other side of the hall was a large play room with no door and lots of beds covering almost the entire floor. There were two women and a man on one corner at the back of that room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were also two couples side by side in the other corner of the room. In the front of the room right next to where we were standing two women with two menwatching. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the front of the building there a small video room with couches. There were about 8 to 10 men and 3 girls in there watching porn. Two of the girls were making out and the other girl was watching the screen with her boyfriend. There was also a small play room with a door
that closed right off the video room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As with any swinger club your level of involvement in any activities is
strictly up to you and &amp;quot;No means No&amp;quot; but I always like to enjoy myself
where ever I go. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

I would highly recommend the Tennessee Social Club to both couples and
singles alike. I found everyone to be polite and the staff was the
greatest. They are always nearby and very helpful. I really felt
totally safe there. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

For you ladies going to a club for the first time this is an excellent
choice whether you are going alone or with an escort. All the ladies
will find an opportunity satisfy their desires whether you are looking
for single men, some special time with another couple, just want to
watch people having fun or just want to see what the lifestyle is all
about. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

I know I am going back the next time I am in Nashville. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My rating for The Tennessee Social Club: 4 O's out of 5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Club Information &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

<title>Interview With Marlene Brustle, Founder of YOLO Swingers Cruise</title>

FOR couples &amp;amp; single females only. No single males can sail.
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
Sex as a selling point for mass-market vacations has been on the 
rise in recent years (just think of Las Vegas' hugely successful &amp;quot;What 
happens here stays here&amp;quot; campaign). But even so, the Caribbean voyage 
organized last year by &lt;a target=&quot;blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.yolocruises.com/&quot;&gt;Yolo 
Cruises&lt;/a&gt; came as a shock to many in the industry. 
&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The original and the only cruise for lovers!
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The start-up 
company, whose name derives from the phrase &amp;quot;you only live once,&amp;quot; 
heralded the cruise as the first on a major ship aimed at swingers -- 
people who embrace non-monogamous sexual experiences. Now the company is
 planning a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usatoday.com/travel/cruises/item.aspx?type=blog&amp;ak=77900.blog&quot;&gt;second
 such voyage&lt;/a&gt;, and controversy already is swirling. Is this a concept
 that's here to stay?
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 YOLO Cruises founder and president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q:
 Some people were stunned by the news a company was planning a cruise 
for swingers. Others were outraged. Were you surprised by the reaction?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A:
 No, fortunately not. I understand that people who are not familiar with
 the (swingers) Lifestyle are easily disturbed by the idea. What speaks 
louder than a few harsh words was the outpouring of support from the 
Lifestyle community to make YOLO Cruises a success, (as well as) sailing
 with 1,800 passengers aboard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

Swingers Cruise founder: It's not all about sex at sea
&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: Did you ever have second
 thoughts?&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A: No, I can honestly say not for one moment. 
The energy and encouragement within the Lifestyle (community) truly 
showed me they wanted this cruise to become reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Q: 
What had led you to start up YOLO cruises?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A: It was an 
idea that stemmed from leisure vacations in general. There are gay 
cruises, lesbian cruises and so why not Lifestyle cruises? Once the 
research was completed, we knew we had a viable venue to sell and the 
determination to brand ourselves as the first ever Lifestyle cruise 
charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Q: When did you know you had a hit on your 
hands?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A: I had two &amp;quot;Ah-ha&amp;quot; moments. The first was our 
embarkation &amp;quot;Kisses &amp;amp; Hugs&amp;quot; party that was going on up on the pool 
deck as we sailed out of Tampa. I rushed upstairs to make sure all was 
well, and as I stepped out onto the pool deck and saw everyone naked, 
dancing and laughing, I knew then that YOLO Cruises was living up to ...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&amp;quot;In the framework of this exhibition at the Secession, each individual can test for himself or herself whether this opens up new dimensions for his or her own sexuality.&amp;quot;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;Element6 Club statement&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;first&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Art gallery opens swingers' club to mixed response&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;quot;Maybe I should go check it out with my husband!&amp;quot;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Opinion from average citizen: BBC News&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gallery visitors must pass through the dimly-lit swingers club
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;first&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A sex club has moved into an art gallery with the 
stated aim of helping visitors to a Gustav Klimt exhibition confront 
their sexual inhibitions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Secession, a contemporary art 
venue in Vienna, has incorporated the club, named Element6, as part of a
 project by Swiss artist Christoph Buechel. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;


&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Visitors must walk 
through it to reach one of Klimt's paintings. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A spokesman said 
Buechel hoped to spark a scandal similar to when Klimt's Beethoven 
Frieze was exhibited in 1902. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- E SF --&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It has already 
attracted opposition from Austria's far-right Freedom Party, which 
issued no fewer than six press releases denouncing the project on Monday
 and Tuesday. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;By abusing artistic freedom, the significance of 
Austria as a country of culture and of Vienna as a cultural capital is 
being dragged in the mud,&amp;quot; said local Freedom Party politician Gerald 
Ebinger. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to Germany's Bild newspaper, local councillor 
Ursula Stenzel, who initially approved the installation, subsequently 
got cold feet. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I signed the approval only under massive 
protest,&amp;quot; she was quoted as saying. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It was always spoken of as 
an art project with a nightclub, but never as a swingers' club.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vienna's
 Mayor, Michael Haeupl, added that he did not approve of the club, but 
noted that outraged politicians and newspapers were ...&lt;br /&gt;

<title>Duncanville files countersuit over swingers club</title>

Duncanville filed its answer Monday and countersued Mr. Trulock.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Duncanville files countersuit over swingers club&quot; src=&quot;images/lawsuit.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Photo: Today's THV &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Duncanville files countersuit over swingers club &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;On weekends, the 59-year-old and his partner, 29-year-old Julie M. Norris, turn their home near Cedar Ridge Drive and Interstate 20 into the Cherry Pit, where guests can mingle, dance and have sex. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The City Council unanimously adopted the ordinance in November. City officials say they were acting in response to complaints about the Cherry Pit. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ordinance classifies sex clubs as a public nuisance. City officials also contend that the Cherry Pit is an unlicensed sexually oriented business operating in a residential area. Mr. Trulock denies that the club is a business; he has said he accepted donations but didn't have a cover charge. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mr. Trulock's &amp;quot;use of the premises as a sex club is detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city of Duncanville,&amp;quot; the city's filing says. Mr. Trulock &amp;quot;does not have any policy or measures in place to safeguard against the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and thus the activities at the premises pose a risk to the public health.&amp;quot; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mr. Trulock's attorney, Ed Klein, said the city is trying to regulate private acts in a private home. The ordinance violates his client's privacy and due process rights, he said. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mr. Klein also contends that the ordinance is so broad and vague that it could criminalize the sexual behavior of almost everyone in Duncanville. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The city's countersuit asks that the court order the Cherry Pit to ...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<title>Swingers: sex fiends or liberated lovers?</title>

And more to the point, are swingers really satisfied?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/headshot_citykat.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photo: Brisbane Times&lt;br /&gt;As a part-time fashion model and a weekend hostess and promotions assistant for one of Brisbane's swanky riverside bars, Katherine &amp;quot;CityKat&amp;quot; Feeney knows what what works - and what doesn't - when it comes to attracting the opposite sex. Whether it's finding out what a woman really wants from her man; or showcasing the best spots for the perfect date, Kate's blog will tell you everything you need to know about Brisbane's dating scene.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, the swinging phenomenon is hardly new. From the orgytastic ancient Romans to the polygamous shenanigans indulged in by the playmates at the House that Heffner built, seems we've been keen to bed partners other than our own for centuries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Many folk who enjoy the swinging life claim the indulgence stimulates their couple time and enhances their relationship. Some women find swinging liberating in a society that suppresses female sexuality. And there are those who simply enjoy the thrill of going &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vixen.com.au/swinging/guide.htm&quot;&gt;nude for a night&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;No longer the dubious wife-swapping of the 1950s, the modern, popular and very legal swingers venues, such as the notorious &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mikesplace.com.au/&quot;&gt;Mike's Place&lt;/a&gt; in the city, offer live entertainment, finger food, bar facilities, a masseuse and room full of folk looking to spice up their sex lives ... for a small fee, of course. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;They even throw in condoms and lube; a consideration you'd be unlikely to enjoy should you shag a stranger picked up at a pub in the city or the Val of a weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As such, fly you solo or partnered - if getting your groove on is the goal - seems that these swingers house parties offer real value for money. Entry isn't restricted to the married sort. Couples of all kinds and singles of the straight or bi-sexual persuasion are welcome. However, stricter admittance rules and higher entry fees apply to the solo male. A discriminatory measure perhaps? An interesting point nonetheless.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yet swingers clubs remain a much hushed, recreational-sex subculture, largely ignored by Brisbane society because most of us have our reservations as to the morality of the practice and fear of the stigma attached. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The thought of your partner bonking someone else even with your permission spells the beginning of the end to many of us in relationships because it raises all those difficult questions about fidelity and the strength of your commitment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is there greater trust demonstrated by a partner willing to let their better half explore their sexuality openly, confident that their love shall conquer all? Or is it foolish to think that sex with strangers comes with no strings attached? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Regardless of where you stand on this spectrum, if you're thinking about having a swing at the swingers' life, think carefully about your motivation. Honest communication and self awareness is the key and, for crying out loud, don't do anything you don't really want to do.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

<title>Swinger: Notion of 'orgies' singles him out for code action</title>

Early says he removed any mention of money from the Web site, but on Dec. 15, a second cease-and-desist order stated that Early's intent was &amp;quot;to operate a private club.&amp;quot; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Early says he now lives at the Riverside address with his partner, Nikki, and her children but only has a few friends over -- no large parties -- when the children are away. He is looking for a new location, he says. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;quot;They say my whole intention was to run a business,&amp;quot; Early says. &amp;quot;It's not. We don't charge at the door and they are house parties. The big thing is, they are calling us a club, but nobody pays dues. It's just semantics.&amp;quot; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Early says he has done nothing wrong but &amp;quot;can name houses that have chess clubs and bridge clubs.&amp;quot; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;quot;There are houses in this neighborhood that run manufacturing businesses out of their homes, yet people are complaining about us,&amp;quot; Early says. &amp;quot;People have the notion that everybody (at the parties) is naked and having orgies.&amp;quot; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Web site no longer advertises a club but has a message from Early saying ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
