This is a question for all newbies and couples who have always wanted to try a club but haven't yet dipped their toe in the water. What would help you decide to take the plunge and go to a club?

Better Understanding how it works. I want to visit but I have no idea what happens… do I have to go dressed smart? No clothes at all? Is it just a place for sex? Is it mainly for drinks and socialising? Are there changing rooms? What’s the etiquette etc.

Particularly as a pensioner, I have stopped going my local club as I can't afford the £25 they charge single men.

Find your local club, if its any good it'll have a website which will explain all that.

"If single men didn't have to fund everyone else lol"

Slight tangent; but seen this sort of comment before. Guess clubs can either limit by charging more or physically limit the number of men that attend.

We attend clubs when single men are allowed and the ratio is just about right. Would we want to go if the ratio was one couple per 50 men, probably not.

I went alone once and felt a bit uneasy, I'm not outgoing at first and it took a while to engage in a little chat with people, I also felt quite creeped out watching the behaviour of some of the single guys following couples around when they walked off to find rooms etc and felt I would be judged to be the same, with a partner in crime even if there were no presumptions of engaging together alone I think others would be more likely to chat and mix with you.

we've been doing clubs for 28 year but not all the time we find they get stale same people week in week out same click never enough men and i dont mean the same ones who go everyweek just to perv n wank...

we'd like to see no free for women so that women and couples pay more so that men dont have too its not fair on the guys ....

but then clubs are not for all and as a scene its a very very small part mosat swinger never go to clubs thats why there are so few and never full ...and with this winter money being tight with everythiong going up i can see a few clubs not making it

Ha ha, nothing is ever a cert, it's more to feel more involved and approachable, getting some physical action would be a bonus but it's more about the fitting in and being more socially accepted beleive it or not, getting laid would not be the only reason for going to a club, I think that's why so many men are dissapointed when the go with that expectation.

As a single man the extra cost put me off for a long time. I didn't know what to expect and didn't want to pay£40 or more and find it was shit. Or go there and find it was full of people that I wouldn't be into at all.

But once I got over that no problems.

Although we're not newbies to Fab or swinging, we've not yet been to a club.

Nearly all the different types of people we've met & played with thro Fab have been & tell us we should at least try it once, with offers to come with us.

Problem is that so far the footage we've seen on programmes like those Channel 4 fly on the wall docs along with the tales of bad experiences on forums etc.. Means for us, the bad bits outweigh the good bits.

So we exclusively meet in clubs now because of too many want-to-be and ghosts in a private meet but have recently stopped going to a couple of clubs because after covid they seem desperate to make a little money by letting way too many single guys in and tipping the balance and ruining the atmosphere.

I go to clubs but not very often. There aren't many local to me so it means staying in a hotel, traveling miles making it very expensive.

Plus you end up using the whole weekend just for a night out.

I’ve found personally that a good club night has a mixture of couples and singles (of both genders) as they all add their own flavour to the night.

Yes some clubs may overrun them with single men for whatever reason but if that’s not your flavour there’s always nights you can go to where none are allowed (Couples and ladies only nights).

Most clubs will give newbies a tour of the venue, explain the rules/etiquette when you arrive or answer any questions you may have prior to your visit too to put any concerns at ease. It’s then down what you make of them. Personally, I can every club event I’ve been to both with a female and alone I’ve had a pleasant experience and people have been welcoming.

Just my humble opinion.

So they cap the number of guys…first come first in.

Will be interesting to see how many keep going over the winter of cost of living hits middle earners. Manchester clubs generally £40 or so a visit (+ membership)

Air con I agree with..many rooms become uncomfortably hot after a few minutes

Midweek tend to be much quieter if you’re nervous about it being busy.

Better understanding of club etiquette, how the evenings unfold, and how cliquey or open they actually are.

Reviews and varifications I've read for or about most clubs seem to be a fair amount of the same locals / regulars who all know each other at least socially. That's a bit of a put off.

Stuck between there being nothing local to me, but also not wanting to play locally because of my job. So the nearest club is 2+ hours away which makes it an expensive trip when you add travel and hotel, etc. Not ideal.

Lastly age ranges... I've seen from a couple that are more local to me that their reviews were largely 50+ or older couples and so on. That'd be like swinging with my dad, no thanks!!

Fab in general feels cliquey when it comes to the club scene, so even trying to involve in conversation socially to go to socials then think about a club night doesn't feel easy. Resigned that it's probably just not an opportunity I'm gonna see.

Then it's a poor club I would guess. A website is their window to attract people in. So generally the etiquette is fairly simple. Dress smart / sexy. Be approachable and friendly. If people aren't into you don't get pissed off and be aggressive. There's usually a bar area where you can socialise. Then if you get on with someone you might get lucky. If you expect to meet someone first vist that's a mistake. You need to go to find out how that club works.

Hopefully men's behaviour is good as it would just put off single girls like fab online does. I heard so many single women on here getting truly fed up with men's behaviour. Most of them hide their profiles and only message men they're interested in.

I'm bringing a friend gor morale support and making a weekend of it. Have you asked any of the women on fab to go with you? I did have afew I know but they were busy. But still worth a try. I heard you can always hang out with someone when you get there as single women tend to stick together at the beginning of the night if you need that moral support

It's quite simple really. All that they need to do is make people book in advance. This way numbers can be capped. So a limit is set. But also there's a dress code lol. I went to a club and a lot of the single men were either cabbies at the end of a shift or some other kind of work but they were a mess and shouldn't have been allowed in. They ruin it for us genuine ones.

Because we are scared all the food will be eaten by others when we get there!

Joking aside, I've been as a single guy and with a FWB. Had fun on all occasions, but as someone who's quite shy to begin with, it can be hard to make the first move in a chat. Ridiculous I know, but the fear of rejection is still high!

Monkey business is new. Maybe it's set up that way for a reason. How would a club function if they stopped single men and don't charge women. Then it would be left to the couples to fund the club. Catch 22. Everyone should pay a respectable price but better vetting and limits should be set. However, I thought there was a club in Colchester. Must be mistaken.

Catch 22. Everyone should pay a respectable price but better vetting and limits should be set. However, I thought there was a club in Colchester. Must be mistaken. "

It’s not unusual for the male entrance fee to be 5 or 10 times the price of females. Every club I’ve ever been to had been like this and I’ve been to quite a few!

"More women and less single men... maybe they could charge men more and women less?

They already do. There is a club here that charges men £50 a time but women are free.

The club in Colchester closed in 2019.

There's one swingers club in Essex and that's monkey business in Wickford.

No this can be true. I paid £5 on Friday night to get in penthouse. Not sure the single guy fee.

For me it's not understanding the etiquette and dress code etc. I'm sure this varies from club to club.

I'm talking as a single guy who's never attended one.

It would be nice to know you were going to be greeted and shown around, perhaps introduced to a few people

Prices vary massively from one club to the next but certainly the clubs in the North are much more reasonable.

On the other hand, it is important to control the number of single guys. When there are lots of blokes it means that the ladies feel harassed, and the blokes have much less chance of success.

We're fairly new to the club scene and we had three main issues getting into it.

1) Are we going to fit in, the usual concern when going anywhere new.

2) Getting detailed information, dress code might be smart casual on arrival and dress down later but what does that actually mean? What's the club lay out? Do you look weird if you wear flip flops once dressed down? Do you need to bring anything with you?

3) The arrival. The most nerve wracking part for us, there's the feeling everything changes once you walk in and as you head for the door that everyone is watching and judging. Do everything possible to make this as smooth and swift as possible, definitely don't have a queue at the door.

I didn't make that exact claim it was another guy from Basildon. .but check out pleasures in Kent or Abfabs and see what their pricing structure is .

It's why men ( if they can find a woman to agree) will take a woman to a club and pay as it's still cheaper than going on their own. Win win.

For me I think it's the worry that I won't fit in and be left in the corner on my own.

Maybe if I could find a couple or someone that I get along with before going to the club that would guarantee that I'm not so on my own in a new environment.

Also I have no idea what really happens in a club. Do you strip off as you enter the door or do you have to stay dressed around the bar area. Should I go over to a couple or someone I like or should I wait for people more experienced to come to me.

If there was a users manual that explained the ins and outs of a club and what a usual night would look like for couples and singles then I think that would be really helpful.

That's why I think a proper vetting process for membership would work. The twat and fantasists wouldn't get past it. Singles or couples and that would save a lot of strife.

Genuine swingers understand that everyone has their preferences and it's bad manners to be pissed off if your not their thing. As someone said about night clubs. You don't walk out with dozens but hopefully one in all might click with. Swinging is similar.

Greedy is opposed to clubs as she doesn't want everyone knowing why we're there, she still likes this side of our life private.

She can't explain why she feels like this, but really does.

It's not off the cards, but she thinks it would be easier if it was a bar first (open to all) and foremost with say a swingers club downstairs (members only).

"A female partner in crime.

Can i ask why ?

I went alone once and felt a bit uneasy, I'm not outgoing at first and it took a while to engage in a little chat with people, I also felt quite creeped out watching the behaviour of some of the single guys following couples around when they walked off to find rooms etc and felt I would be judged to be the same, with a partner in crime even if there were no presumptions of engaging together alone I think others would be more likely to chat and mix with you."

Honestly, I’m more likely to talk to single men - though I’ll talk to everybody. It’s really obvious who is there to get the most from the experience - meet new friends, have a bit of banter, see something new - and who thinks its a cheap alternative to hiring a sex worker and is objectifying the women. Experienced swingers tend to be very good judges of character, IME.

At my local club, it’s tidal. So there is a wave of movement towards the changing rooms to get dressed down at about 10pm, then some of that wave carries on to playrooms. The tide brings most people back to the bar for drinks an hour or so later before carrying them out again.

Don’t just approach people you fancy, talk to everyone, particularly those who look easy to talk to. A reputation for being good company will take you far in the long run.

Look on the club website listed on here and it will tell you all you need to know. In general there are two types of dress code: sauna based; towels/sexy or night club based; smart/casual or sexy as you dare on a night out. (Most clubs have lockers, so you can change into sexy wear once arrived).

Distance wise we travel about 90 mins each way; but we find it's well worth the drive.

Really there's nothing to be awkward about. Everyone there is out to have a good time. The hosts will show you around. Have a drink and then explore the club at your leisure. Chill in the hot tub, have a dance, go to a private room or go to an open room.

If you want to keep to yourselves fine. There is no expectation to play and no means NO. If you catch peoples' eye or they yours it's up to you what happens next...

Only you can decide if it's for you; try it once. As the saying goes "What's the worst that can happen?"

Went to a club a few times in Manchester with an ex fwb. She's naturally very outgoing and gregarious, so would chat to anyone and everyone. I'm a little more reserved to begin with, but found it cliquey. Even though I was in the clique due to her, I didn't like the atmosphere of the cliques. I overheard a fair few bitchy comments aimed at the other people there, even from the owner. Pretty out of order tbf. If you weren't in the gang, then you were deemed less worthy. I'm not saying everyone was like that, but just enough who were to put me off. I'd certainly never go on my own as a single bloke.

I've not visited any myself.

But a sub I know has been a couple of times. She did go with some girl friends. She had no intention of playing on those occasions. However she did say how safe she felt, much more so than a regular club where guys would touch uninvited. She didn't feel pressured at all to play and everyone was respectful.

So on that basis, I would encourage girls to be brave and perhaps go with an open minded friend or two.

The problem of going with someone else ,if they hit it off with another person you’ll be on your own. So wishing you’d have someone to accompany you may still leave you alone.

Clubs generally have guest lists on the event listing, maybe message some people and ask if they’ll have a drink with you and explain it’s your first time.

Dress codes depend on the night and if it’s a party theme. To be honest whatever you wear down the pub on a Saturday night should be ok.

I tend to find Bi Nights are very friendly, so TV/TS or gay/bi or alt people should try these nights as a first visit.

Women may get too much attention and Men may get absolutely no interest, it’s exactly the same as Saturday night in many ‘normal’ clubs.

I generally find clubs will have more middle aged people attend, so if you’re a 40- 50 year old single guy, you’ll probably do better at a swingers club than your local boozer.

They’re not for everyone and I really feel for guys who are priced out of being able to attend. But with the cost of living crisis emerging I suspect prices will come down.

A new club opened in my area 6 weeks ago, its only monthly and the odd themed nights, I went on my own as no partner and felt completely out of my comfort zone but didnt let that deter me from going again a couple of weeks ago. The ratio is 20 couples, 5 single ladies & 5 single males. It has a lovely bar and social area so last time I just went with the attitude its a night out socialising and if I get to play well that's a bonus.

"For me I think it's the worry that I won't fit in and be left in the corner on my own.

Maybe if I could find a couple or someone that I get along with before going to the club that would guarantee that I'm not so on my own in a new environment.

Also I have no idea what really happens in a club. Do you strip off as you enter the door or do you have to stay dressed around the bar area. Should I go over to a couple or someone I like or should I wait for people more experienced to come to me.

If there was a users manual that explained the ins and outs of a club and what a usual night would look like for couples and singles then I think that would be really helpful.

At my local club, it’s tidal. So there is a wave of movement towards the changing rooms to get dressed down at about 10pm, then some of that wave carries on to playrooms. The tide brings most people back to the bar for drinks an hour or so later before carrying them out again.

Don’t just approach people you fancy, talk to everyone, particularly those who look easy to talk to. A reputation for being good company will take you far in the long run.

My local has the manual on the website then goes over it again on the tour.

If you are talking about Club F then yeah it's great for singles up there. The staff are solid and look out for members and theres a solid set of rules to follow. Put it this way, we watched them them hoof one new guy out (his first ever visit) never allowed to be back in because he didn't seem to understand what respect and boundaries are. Sounds like a bad thing but it's actually not. On all our visit's thats the only issue we've ever seen. Everyone else is straight up respectful of each other.

Put it this way, my wife is planning on going on her own in the near-ish future. I have no qualms about it because I know she'll be fine.

Yup, it’s F. I’ve been there both solo and as part of a couple (actually met my partner there) and now spend a ridiculous amount of time in the dungeon on Friday nights. A bit of bluntness with a bit of kindness makes it feel safe. "

If we recall correctly, you where in the dungeon most of the night at the hi viz party several weeks back lol. Don't think we spoke though (loads there that night).

I’ve never been to a club but I am keen to go

I’ve had some great advice from some other people here (you know who you are ) so most of my questions have been answered, but for me, the main barriers to going to a club would be:

• Location - is it easy to get to

• Standards - is it a high quality venue with a nice (and clean!) environment and members that I would be interested in

• Safety - do they have staff who are going to keep an eye on any issues and chuck people out who won’t take no for an answer

• Security - is there somewhere secure where I can leave my things and enjoy the evening

• Socials - is their website/ socials up to date so I can see nights I’m interested in and I can see recent pics & get answers to FAQ’s

If we had one closer to us that opens week nights as we can't make a Friday or Saturday due to work commitments

Can someone write a synopsis of what to do as a single man going for the first time? I mean... there isnt a bar to sit at with the footy on im guessing! BYOB for me would be a hip flask amd id try to sit at the bar and mix my rum and ! Cant go on my phone and in guessing taking a book or a paper is bad etiquette. Are there board games?!

For one there are no clubs local.

Second as a single female I don't feel safe going to one. Not so much at the club but the coming out of one on my own just does feel safe.

I've only been to one and although I was shown around the facilities and made welcome in that respect, everyone seemed to know each other already and it was difficult to join in conversations or get to know anyone.

So going with someone would make it a bit more comfortable

Understandable, and in all honesty when I've gone to clubs on my own and felt uncomfortable leaving, I'll happily speak to club hosts, all will make sure I'm safe journey to hotel/home.

The bar area or hot tub are social hot spots, equally as is the smoking area, if you smoke..or in some clubs there's the pool/ snooker table. All offer a potential social gathering to mingle with. We don't bite unless given a reason

I've only been to a couple, but I don't drink alcohol and I'm not a social butterfly anyway, so wasn't really sure how to get into it properly -- even though I was with someone else on each occasion.

I just resigned to a hot tub in the end and let the evening go by. :D

Not sure how I would improve anything, but I don't think I'd want to rock up as a single guy.

For me living in North London I have two members only clubs that I can get to within a hour by car. I am a member of one of those which is good.Unfortunately for me they open 10.00 pm to 3.00 am

or 4.00 am depending what night you go.I don’t blame the club as I appreciate there are various licensing laws that a club has to obey to stay open.I just wish that we had a few more non member clubs in London with more relaxed licensing laws.

"What a barrel of laughs "
I stopped drinking years ago because I've got an addictive personality and tend to get carried away with everything I indulge in.

So, trying to get on a level with d*unk people has always been a bit tricky -- and I'd much rather remember my misadventures. :D

However, I think my thing, if I'm honest, is getting my pleasure from whatever my partner is getting up to -- watching a woman's sexuality come to life is hot af.

Going solely for my own pleasure, well it's just never gonna be my thing really.

"

That always helps as its cheaper."

If your serious about the lifestyle then cost shouldn’t come into it, you pay a premium for an experience that isn’t walking into a normal bar. What are you on about funding everyone else? That’s the most bizarre comment I’ve ever read.

Anyway, to answer the OPs question. Our first time was terrifying haha but we did it, I think sometimes it’s best to take the “you only live once” approach and just dive in head first, I mean the worst that could happen is it’s not for you and you never have to do it again. What I will say is some clubs are more welcoming and enjoyable than others and I’d certainly try a couple of them based on others recommendations everyones club opinions are different and again everyone likes different clubs for different reasons.

I think for me it's all about being nervous being a single man... I'm going to my first one in October and I now have my FWB comming too as it will help me relax more (her first too)

I think a video introduction on the club website (empty premises not with people having fun)

Just an inside look and a tour around just so you get a feel for the place

A tour on the night is great but you will be distracted alot and won't take things in

Maybe some interviews from other first timers and longtime club users (faces hidden if they want to stay private obvs)

Newbies here, not been to a club but had a couple of experiences.

Like everyone else, it seems to be understanding the rules etc, I’m not really a dancer for example but the wife is, do men start getting close when dancing, I mean I know why we are there but it’s not just for that, it’s the social as well.

If we are playing do people just come over and get involved, it’s so hard having not been before

Jaydees is £20 for life membership fee so not so bad, I'd be put off by the clubs that you have to pay an annual fee as I just don't think I'd get to attend often enough to make it worth it

Like many have said already it’s the rip off fees, they charge single guys that put me off

By time you add transport getting to and from, drinks, hotel stay after the club it’s alot.

An understanding of etiquette, rules and how to engage with someone. Who makes the first move, how does that happen…

Titz Towers, North Notts

A couple of things.

Membership - When I go to a club, I'm Tina Titz and I don't want to break this emersion by the staff seeing a different name on the membership forms.

Parking - I'd like to go to Purple Mamba, but parking isn't easy and whilst I don't mind walking about in public in glam mode, it's not always ideal.

Proximity and not keeping photo ID.

Neither of us drive so location is always a challenge as well as no drivers licenses. I have never been abroad and M's passport expired so long ago it probably predates the Queen lol.
