"slim pickings for sure.

A couple of scary dominatrux type older women. Empty club said 200 a night, couldn't have been 40 at it.

That young couple...she was crying as she thought no one wanted her in the club. Kind of indicated she wasnt ready for swinging if that was her reaction to rejection. Dunno....CH4 twist on things....bound to have happened in all fairness. MsD" It was me who used the term damaged ( which is horrible) But that couple will never last.

"It was very disappointing. For the money that he says he spent on it, it looked cheap and tacky. The owner did say a lot of positive things though about the lifestyle. I had never heard of the club before compared to chams, townhouse or le boudoir which makes me wonder how popular it is in the uk." I Defo thought Chams would be most popular | |||

"Not representative of the club's we've be at, not a great advertisement for the lifestyle.Broken people mostly, at it while fully clothed, never ever witnessed that, Xtasia in West Bromwich is our favourite club, always full of different types of people, " I agree. I think the club was a good representation. But the people no. It showed the broken side of swinging. I.e people with emotional baggage. The vast majority of swinging couples in clubs are fully sane. And that’s why I go to clubs. You know exactly what you are getting! | |||

"To be fair it didn’t do the club justice. Think because it was well known that they would be filming that night it put a lot of people off attending. You know how judgemental people are. Unfortunately it really didn’t show the club in it’s true colours. No where near enough people and not enough focus on the club and how good a social night it can be. Probably because it wasn’t as busy as it can be. Just focused on the sex and unfortunately came across as a bit awkward and sleazy. Not Libs at all! Unfortunately because it wasn’t as busy it couldn’t show the true variety of characters that attend and that it’s not just about having sex. Well not with us it’s not. That’s what we mean by variety. Yes you might have sex with others but might not. We have attended a few clubs and Libs is in our top 2 along with Secrets. If in doubt, don’t judge by this documentary. Check it out yourselves, we think you will then see it in it’s true colours. Their event nights are great and it really is a great night out. Just don’t go there with an attitude just to have sex. It’s way more than that. Thanks Libs hope the refurbishments are nearly finished. Love you and can’t wait to be able to stay with you for our long weekend escape again. G & J x" I totally agree. That’s why I love swinging. It’s the cultural diversity and the variety of people. I’ve meet teachers, accountants, barristers the works. | |||

" That's chsnnel 4 true to form. Their shows about swingers, brothels, strippers , etc, are all very bare and focus on the more tired segment of the scene. Ok...no club I've been to was "eyes wide shut" but there is a bit of class to be found .  | |||

"We watched it. It us a great club but sadly the programme didn't give that impression. They had obviously got hold of a few members who were happy to be filmed purely for the programme. Libs was packed on Valentines day with a fantastic atmosphere, the programme gave the impression that there were only about 20 people there." If you know anything about how TV is made they'll have staged the whole thing. From the build up with Valentine dec's to the clientele. They may have filmed interiors on a quiet afternoon with some clients and added a few actors - those on the bed not interviewed. Every interaction will be stage managed. Eg. In the 'crying' couples home: him vacuuming, her picking up some kids toys. Absolutely staged. That house was like a new pin when the TV company arrived, as yours would be. I know. I've been a Stage Manager. | |||

Like others, I thought it would have been much busier but I've read from Moreno's posts that Storm Dennis put paid to that. We've never been to a club and I think, in my head anyway, I had this ultra glamorous image of it so for me it was good to have that demystified. | |||

Yes you are Mr Grammar police with a love of , and a passion for ; You were both well dressed Mrs had a lovely all in one V plunging neckline dress on. See you guys are exactly what clubs are all about. Mrs was well dressed, sane and you had your ground rules ironed out before entering the club. Move forward to the Mrs And her tattoos I never would have guessed she had them. And that’s what I love about clubs! | |||

I introduced him to some of the bars and clubs over there and we had a great holiday. He's being true to himself, his family and friends and all power to him for that.

"The aspect I felt that let people down that were disappointed that they didn't "play" with anyone is they went to the Club with the wrong attitude. When we attend a club, social or private party we go with the intention that it's a social event and if we come away at the end of the night/morning with just a phone number we consider it a great evening. It's a win win if we play but not a prerequisite. EireCpl " This is the attitude to have. Never go anywhere with expectations of play | |||

"We just watched the documentary and found it very disappointing. It portrayed all the negative stereotypes that have clung to the lifestyle and seems to have set the whole non-monogamous lifestyle back 20 years. If we had watched this at the very beginning of our journey, we would never have tried anything. Channel 4 deliberately set out to portray swingers as either damaged or socially dysfunctional people, as opposed to a modern perspective on the lifestyle. " We took part in the show. Having spent time with the producer/director we honestly believe that was not their intention. The concept was much more (at least when we spoke to them) around the fact that everyone and anyone could be swingers. We’re also hoping that we didn’t come across as dysfunctional- but what’s there is there. Sadly many of those negative stereotypes in the show still exist. And some of the language was problematic. We spoke at length about some of the good stuff but not all of it was included (but equally it wasn’t our show). We aren’t keen on the venue - but that’s something else. The good news is that New people have been reaching out to us over the last 24 hours - so it hasn’t put too many off. Overall, we reckon this will help to normalise non monogamy - even if it’s just to get people talking about it. What we need are more dramas, tv shows, films, entertainment that cover it and make it normal. Otherwise the stigmas will always be there. Also - our initial meets had us almost calling social services to support a woman in trouble and, in another instance, one of us nearly getting punched. And we’re still here - plugging away. Hoping that some new folks have a level of resilience as well! | |||
