A long and very good article on South Florida's swingers' clubs

[two4youinswva 3,068]

A really good article on swinging in south Florida. It touches on swinging's history, a look inside a low key and long running club, and a general review of the rest of the clubs in the area, including who each club caters to.

 

Swinging through South Florida's underground sex clubs.

 

The owner of Club Hedonism is a large Italian man in his 60s named Franco Monte. He can be found striding through his club with purpose, wearing black slacks, a black shirt, and a thick gold chain. His employees are diligent, because they know he's a perfectionist and they dare not upset him. Every inch of the club must be spotless. Every employee must embody a delicate blend of attentiveness and discretion. He says he wants people to think of his place as "the swingers' club where everybody knows your name." Like Cheers — but where the characters have sex with one another.

 

And yet, Monte says, "It's about much more than the sex. People can have a few drinks and dance a little bit and get to know each other." Key to the experience, Monte says, is the anticipation of having sex. "A pleasure of the mind," he calls it.

I'd be interested in hearing more about Club Hedonism. I write about swinging in South Florida, tho' my experience with clubs there is slightly dated as I moved away and only get back occasionally. I do keep in touch with several couple/singles still in the scene there. My books are "sophisticated swingers - 1-4 and can be found at my publisher, Shipyardpress.com if any are interested. Thanks, Heather

I will read your book but wanted to comment on Club Hedo. I can't imagine why anyone would bother interviewing the owner or talking about this club. It is honestly not one of the better or more popular clubs in South Florida. On their best night (SDC), the are lucky to see 20 couples. Not a particularly hot crowd or upscale place. There are certainly nicer clubs not far from where this club is located. That's why you are not familiar with it. It has been around a very long time.
