What is a Sex Club?

Quite simply, a sex club is indeed a club where people go to have sex, but there's a lot more you should than just that. It's not a brothel, where you pay to have sex with someone who works there as an escort or prostitute. All members pay a fee - either at the entrance each time you attend, or an monthly or annual membership - and they only have sex with each other at the events. The set up is usually similar, where clubs typically have a dance floor or staging area, and there is also separate section with couches, beds, and private rooms where the sex occurs.

While typically open to all adults, it is mostly couples who join and attend a sex club event together, and they will 'trade' with other couples there, or perhaps have a group sex together. In this way, sex clubs are the main part of the swinger lifestyle. You should note that 'sex club' is the usual term for a lot of membership-only adult clubs, which can include bathhouses and occasionally strip clubs.

Who goes to Sex clubs?

Plenty of people! Maybe even your neighbors! Sex Clubs are a big part of the swinging lifestyle - that is, a couple who enjoys having sex with other people, typically another couple - since the first locations began to open in the 1970s. As the idea of relationships began to change, sex clubs became popular with the polyamorous (those in open relationships). According to many sex clubs, the average swinging couple is middle class and in their late-thirties or early forties, and includes different backgrounds and cultures, although typically a comfort with sexual openness is present, considering what the activity is.

How did Swinging Get Popular?

While having affairs - even quietly allowed ones - is as old as marriage itself, the sexual revolutions of the 1960s and the hippie communes that came with it was a big change to what the traditional ideas of what constituted relationships and marriage. 'Wife swapping' and 'key parties' became popular. The latter of which was where couples went to a party and the men threw their car keys in a bowl, and then the women take the keys out randomly, and go home with whoever's keys they are.

Nowadays, the internet has made it easy to connect with people who have the same tastes and fantasies, and that helped bring swinging and sex clubs into mainstream erotic culture.

What Do You Need To Get Into Swinging and Sex Clubs?

The main thing is that you should you certainly be comfortable with (and really, excited about) having sex with strangers you may have only just met minutes earlier. While open relationships come in many forms, some of them involve a couple only hooking up with people they might already be friends with. Swinging and sex clubs are much more open. This means that a very adventurous mind and someone very enthusiastic about expressing their sexuality is a big plus for having fun in the swinging and sex club world. It is important to find a partner who likes this as well, since this can become a hobby that's a keystone to your relationship.

3 Fun Facts About the Swinging Lifestyle

1. You don't have to be in a relationship, but it helps! Some sex clubs existed with couples in mind, and you have to attend events together. Some nights, however, single women and single men are allowed to join in, although the club typically has a limit of how many men who can enter. There's typically no limit to the amount of single women, but that's because not many attend by themselves. In fact, a single woman at a sex club is sometimes known as a 'unicorn' in swinging terminology, because they're so rare.

2. Most Sex Clubs are really Sex Night Clubs! Most people assume that as soon as you enter a sex club, it's just one giant orgy on a big bed. Actually, most sex clubs are run and set up like night clubs. There is a dance floor, some couches and tables and chairs, a bar or two where you can get a drink or a snack, and a DJ or stage for a band. This is where members can dance and socialize before heading to the second part of the club, where things can a lot sexier.

3. Bathhouses are Sex Clubs, too! While typically catering to the swingers in the gay community, bathhouses are very much to sex clubs, in the sense that membership is required to gain access, although that's paid at the entrance. Just like sex clubs, they have amenities where members can meet each other (like hot tubs and sauna rooms, hence the name 'bathhouse'), and then a separate area where more intimate moments happen.

A Little Bit About Houston

Houston is one of the biggest cities in the United States, and definitely the biggest in Texas. For a brief period in the eighteenth century when Texas was its own country, Houston was the capital. Nowadays, the city is known for being the headquarters for a lot of major oil companies, in addition to being the home of NASA's Johnson Space Center (which is why when the Apollo 13 moon mission went wrong, the famous line was 'Houston, we have a problem'). While Houston certainly has a lot of that Texas attitude, with plenty of cowboys and rodeos, it also has a big performing scene, and its theatre district is one of the biggest outside of New York.

The Houston Sex Club History

Since it's always had the reputation of a wild town, there's always been a sense of adventure in Houston. Even in the early nineteen seventies, the gay biker club 'The Texas Riders' began celebrating the 'Let Us Entertain You' Weekend, which brought a lot of the underground LGBTQ community together at a time when it was still very controversial. Over the last few years, a lot of BDSM events have sprung up, including the Kinky Tuesdays at Numbers Night Club, as well as private sessions at the Vault Dungeon. The Colette Club is an especially good example of a sex club that has branched out and has made a name for itself all across Texas.

How to Stay Safe at a Sex Club

Two of the most important things to keep in mind when visiting a sex club is consent and respect. No one should ever be forced into doing something they do not want to do, or makes them uncomfortable. That's why it is not only expected that members look out for each other to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves, but clubs make sure there are always employees who whose job it is to confront and maybe eject any members who do not follow these rules.

Privacy is also an important part of the sex club experience. While it has become more accepted, many people prefer to keep 'swinging' a discreet part of their lives, for professional and personal reasons. This means that taking photos - even with cell phones - is not allowed, and it is expected that members do not talk about whatever activities went on at the club while they attended.
