INTRODUCTION:
Open relationships are more than just being 'all the rage'. They're more like a slow change at how we look at monogamy and polyamory in general. And yes, we're tidying up the phrases that really just boil down to 'wants to sleep with other people', but like a lot of complex things in life, that's a lot easier said than done.
Just because you want to dive into the world of swinging doesn't mean you're going to be cool, calm and collected the whole time. In fact, butterflies in your stomach and performance anxiety in other places will happen when you try anything new for the first, whether it be ultimate frisbee, bungee jumping, or walking into a sex club. No matter how friendly and supportive the staff may be, there's still loud music blaring and people are chatting with everyone else but you, so of course you'll feel awkward and unsure about this decision. That's where the The Philly Alt Tribe steps in. Actually, they can step in days earlier, and help you out from there. They're proof that anywhere can become a party.

ABOUT:
Maybe 'swingers' and 'swinger lifestyle' sounds a bit old fashioned, and that's why it's named The Philly Alt Tribe. Regardless, it's a group of people who enjoy participating in open and polyamorous relationships, and meet up even outside the Philadelphia sex clubs (like The Pleasure Garden Club and Saints & Sinners). Sometimes the meet up can be at a coffee shop or restaurant, or they can actually be events, like going to see a movie or roller skating. And as the organizers like to stress, at first most of these meet-ups are just to get to know people who might end up going to the two aforementioned sex clubs. I went there with my partner for a dinner event, and it was more like…dinner…than anything else. It wasn't like i was pressured to swap with someone else's partner and off we went back to different apartments for the night.
Some veteran members of the tribe/party did this after the dinner, but for the most part it was like an educational experience before going to one of the actual sex club locations later in the week. And right now we were just asking questions and learning a lot about what was involved. We found it relaxing, we went to Saints & Sinners days later, saw some of the people we met at dinner, and had a really sexy time that night. Then, next time we got together with The Philly Alt Tribe - we went bowling - my partner and I were confident enough to 'switch up' with some people we were making eyes with, and it felt totally natural and fun to go back to my apartment with someone new and exciting. It was really fun, because you're partying and swinging in plain aight. Obviously not the actual sex - no X-rated bowling alleys yet - but certainly socializing beforehand.
FEATURES:
-it's an informal group of people who frequent Philadelphia sex clubs, but also meet a few times a month or so at other events and occasions throughout the city

-very easy to find out about future meet-ups thanks to their website, and the organizers who update it
-the group stresses how they encourage a safe space environment that embraces all relationship types, lifestyles, and sexuality
