"I've recently returned to the site after a break, and can't help but notice a huge increase in profiles which advertise parties requiring payment. The frequency and scale of these 'contributions' would suggest that it's an income stream ahead of anything else, and way beyond cost covering. Each to their own and all that, but whilst I'm happy to pay a club's entry fee, this appears to me to be a form of prostitution. 'No pay, no play'. I'd be interested to hear the views of others, if there are any.

Could you explain the difference between someone who charges entry to a swinging club and someone who charges entry to a swinging party?" Yes. One is a business paying the relevant tax and meeting licensing requirement. The other isn't. | |||

"A club has more overheads, rental, staff, etc etc so I would expect to pay a higher fee. A private party, especially those held in the persons house does not have those same overheads, no staff, no property rental solely for parties etc. When i host parties, i out on a small buffet and include soft drinks and hot drinks, i also include condoms, i ask guests to chip in, usually £3-5 per person to cover cost of food/drink and condoms. I would never charge more as to me you are then making financial gain. Financial gain to me is no different to prostitution" Unless there was a buffet and a minimal charge such as outlined here | |||

(How do you know they aren't?) | |||

"What is it with the buffet? I really don't understand why swinging and buffets seem to go hand in hand. " I utterly don't understand that either. I cannot think of anything less hygienic than a buffet at a sex club or sex party. | |||

I don't tend to eat when out anyway but if peckish I would want individual sealed packs of food. | |||

"What is it with the buffet? I really don't understand why swinging and buffets seem to go hand in hand. Everyone is always starving after good sex session" That would be later on in the evening so worse in my opinion. If I had to eat I would want to be first at the table. Otherwise I would grab something on the way home x | |||

"People get hungry uf they are out for several hours, tummies rumbling isn't sexy Easy to wash your hands or use sanitizer. You don't have to eat the buffet in the same room as play takes place." I would wash my hands. Are you confident everyone before you has done the same? | |||

"People get hungry uf they are out for several hours, tummies rumbling isn't sexy Easy to wash your hands or use sanitizer. You don't have to eat the buffet in the same room as play takes place." I dunno about you, but I can manage six or eight hours out without needing to eat... I've seen some kink clubs start to do buffets included in the ticket price over the last few years. I'd rather they just charged less for the ticket price... there's always somewhere nearby to grab some food before and after. | |||

" Dont know about others, i wash hands and use serving utensils provided With amount restaurants that have poor ratings or shut down no one can categorically state their food is totally safe to eat, regardless of the establishment | |||

"I have organised/held dozens of parties previously (on previous profile). I provided food (hot and cold), condoms, towels, wipes etc. I NEVER charged...I did, however, have a "contributions" tin on the buffet table (table not in a play room!). People put in whatever they thought was appropriate. I never made a fortune out of any parties, maybe even lost a bit in some...but never had any complaints and never did it for money anyway. It is a simple enough model to follow!" Unfortunately I'm a single mother on a tight budget, i cant afford to shell out and hope those attend contribute via your method, so I'll stick to asking for contribution to cover costs | |||

What's with the "moral high ground" stuff and the condescending behaviour ("form of prostitution") | |||

So you don't have a problem with having your mouth on multiple genitals, tongues probing mouths, bums and cunts, spunk going in and out of mouths, but somehow eating in the same place becomes unhygenic? | |||

"We've never asked for money for parties. We ask our friends to come to our house because we want them there, then offer areas conducive to the possibility of playing. Would you charge friends if they came round for dinner? Or popped in for coffee? After all, you end up out of pocket then..." Fair comment and your generosity as a host is great. I guess as with most swinging there is more than one approach and your friends are lucky to have you doing these parties | |||

"Personally we don't see the problem. We don't/have never charged but if the person needs to make a few quid then each to their own. At the end of the day you don't know whether that person is taking a day off work and the money is to make that up. On the flip side of the coin they might get off on being paid... Doesn't seem like a silly kink at all. Kinda a turn on thinking of it that way :') instead of publicly criticising people that may do that how about just not going? " Very well said. | |||

" You could also consider that if you go to a club, you might not get any play whereas at the type of party you describe, it would probably be more of a sure thing. And it's also possible that if the women are being paid, they may well be young and attractive, which I suppose would be the draw. It all depends on how you look at these things. Do you want to pay for a club and take pot luck or pay for a party where you may be more sure of fun. Either way, you're paying. I'm not sure why whether the women get paid actually matters. Is it so much better to pay to (possibly) shag women who aren't getting paid than to pay to (probably) shag women who are getting paid? Sure, the women getting paid, (if they are), are prostitutes but from your point of view, you're spending money hoping to get sex either way. I don't see why who gets paid matters. Just giving a different perspective. | |||
