"Now what would you consider appropriate? I recently enquired about a party that was going on, and received a message back asking for £80 to attend. Admittedly, she said it included venue hire, refreshments & hiring security for the door, but (as her status received) they would've taken £640 this afternoon. Seems like a money spinner to me... " Parties cost money to arrange .No one is compelled to attend . Anyone who considers the charge excessive can always go else where or organise their own party. | |||

"Security say 200, venue hire same again, cost of refreshments and their time spent organising everything, doesnt sound like a huge earner to me" . Plus the cost of insurance and the risk of damage . | |||

"Seems like a money spinner to me... " Well, it's certainly not Swinging in MY eyes! Me, as female, single Swinger, I would very much avoid parties where there is any payment. When I was more into Swinging than I am now, I went to friends' houses for organised parties, I invited friends around for an organised party. No one ever charged anyone. YOU ARE NOT FORCED TO RENT A FLAT, nor does anyone FORCE you to throw a swingers party! I do not buy their arguments. Personally I started bringing a little host or hostess gift, like soap sets, wine bottles, cakes, special brew beers, you know. Like you would when you normally visit friends! | |||

"It is basically another way of saying ur paying for sex to get away from the law so it wont sound like a brothel, as they say u pay for refreshments and venue hire and the high entrance price don't suprice me at all as its a single man price lol " | |||

I can't imagine anywhere that you could get a whole nights entertainment and a quality meal for £80 for two people. However I suppose that depends on what you define as quality and what kind of entertainment you enjoy! | |||

Look it up on google as it was voted one of the best clubs in the world.

My thoughts as well. It is about freedom of choice and how you spend your money. Some people might spend days searching for meets on fab, others are quite happy to pay eighty pounds to go to a party . If you have a busy life outside fab, eight pounds for a party may not be an issue for you. | |||

It was a party where several men were invited and expected to pay a fee of £80 each. | |||

"It's parties asking for fees like these that should be banned on here, if it was a gang bang etc there would be hell to pay. This is a swinging site not a sex earning site... £80 is an extreme amount to ask for and unjustified." Seeing this thread it looks like people who are willing to exploit others financially would be more in favour of paid for parties. I started voting with my feet. When even the best of my good, old Swinging friends started charging for parties, I would not go. Because so many of my other Swinging friends would still invite us to their own, private houses and not even for a minute connsider charging friends. Even one couple rented a flat in Liverpool and still DID NOT CHARGE ANY OF US! Now, why would they do that? | |||

" That's awful actually! Why would someone even consider paying for this, let alone advertising such services?!?" Because £80 for a great night out still isn't actually that much money for some people. I appreciate that some people don't have much money or don't want to spend it on that kind of entertainment, but it really wouldn't bother me to pay that much money to get into a good fetish club or something. | |||

Obviously I declined and reported, was just curious as to people's take. I guess mine is that whilst I have no issue with people charging for sex, as long as all parties are happy, this is a swinging site not a prostitution one - which is ultimately what it amounts to. Cheapest the rest of the site. | |||

Clubs paying a license to the council are not classed as living off immoral earnings but private parties charging silly money are classed as earning money from prostitution by any UK council.

Both are enticing men on the promise of sex for money, you pay an escort for her time not the sex and you pay a club on the hope of getting sex, both are earning money from sex actual or implied. | |||

I would never dream of asking for an entrance fee . . swinging to me is about mutual satisfaction and needs, exploring fantasies with consenting adults . . to pay £80 is paramount to prostitution. A friend of my was invited to a small private party. . £30 to cover costs he was cited. . one woman . . 10 guys . . in a home . . £300 for one hour is a good turn around if you ask me. . thus to me is not swinging. | |||

The problem is your making profit from something which should be an enjoyable hobby and as such is in the throes of becoming a business, not many would object to paying towards the cost of refreshments and anything to enable the party to be a success such as condoms, lubes, wipes etc but making profit goes against the swinging principle in my opinion | |||

People tell me all the time that I shouldn't make money from my "fun hobby" - photography - but I do. It's how I live. Anything can be a fun hobby. And fun hobbies don't have to leave you out of pocket. It's not wrong to ask for people to help cover costs and time if you're helping them do their hobby. | |||

Covering costs is absolutely normal and expected, I think the issue people have is the idea of making a large profit from this kind of thing. If someone wants photos taking by you then they shouln't expect it free but that isn't the same as hosting a sex party and turning a profit. | |||

And fun hobbies don't have to leave you out of pocket. It's not wrong to ask for people to help cover costs and time if you're helping them do their hobby." Photography and swinging cant be compared its totally seperate. But you are almost agreeing with what i said previously, nobody should object towards contributing towards costs of hosting an event, the host should not be out of pocket and they deserve my utmost respect for doing this. But when you read the posts about the amount some people are charging to attend private parties the hosts are making a vast profit and goes against the basic principle of swinging where people with similar interests meet for pleasure not profit | |||

"It is basically another way of saying ur paying for sex to get away from the law so it wont sound like a brothel, as they say u pay for refreshments and venue hire and the high entrance price don't suprice me at all as its a single man price lol Aren't clubs glorified brothels , " not at all | |||

A lone woman can legally work from home as an escort but add another one or two it then becomes a brothel which is illegal, Clubs get around the immoral earnings bit by paying for licences to councils but home parties are still officially classed as earnings from prostitution. Councils turn a blind eye when people are being charged £20 etc as food and drink dont grow on trees, start charging more then it becomes a sex business leaving swinging as an excuse to get big money for sex so no different to a brothel in the eyes of the law. If you want to do gang bangs/bukkakes etc and charge then advertise on non swinging sites like we do as the have no comparison to swinging. | |||

"My friend had a birthday party for 40 kids came to £800 with hire, entertainer and food drinks Parties of any sort cost money.. Some of the legal facts here are not quite correct... but swinging paying for sex accepting money for are not illegal . only soliciting, pimping and brothels.. This is a very different area to a private house party not run for profit or as a business. I have been to free parties and paid ones and all are good... Most wouldnt hold a swing party at their home ( due to security and neighbours) so im happy to contribute towards hire and food and drink and omg the clearing up afterwards .. Unless youve been or held oe youve no idea !! If theres a good guest list then worth it for fun guaranteed, Im surprised that apparent open minded people on a swing site question where and how other gain their legal kicks) xx Go enjoy and find the type of interaction that suits you Id never go to a private meet at a strangers house as a single female . way to dangerous xx " Beg to differ but any swinging party not based in a club and charging money is classed as prostitution, check with your local police/councils. Parties with a small fee are usually overlooked but profit making sex parties are not swinging. Its all the sex industry and to the mainstream we are all degenerates, its these make big bucks parties that spoil it for the normal swinger. | |||
