I did not want to hijack the other recent thread that is similar to this... so I started a new one here.
also...
I recently made a reply to a "Getting Started" type thread, that is along this topic as well. (As a reference.)
This type of question comes up a lot on this BBS (scattered all over the place), so I am attempting to get some comparisons and feedback in one place.
If you feel so inclined... Please feel free to comment, share your experience, etc., on the following:
(One or more... Or any combination you want.)
What is your preference?
"Date" Webs vs Swingers Club vs Meet & Greet vs House Party vs Resort vs Cruise
Why?
What has your experience (progression) been like?
Started with one. "Graduated" or changed to another because...? ... etc.
I've tried finding out details online, but I must be missing something. So...
Maybe someone here can clarify a few things for me...
For Hedonism II ... a.k.a. "Hedo"
"All Inclusive" ... "Lifestyle-friendly"
It sounds like sex out in the open, day or night, is acceptable here. Maybe not so much in the dining areas and such... but from what I've gleaned, this is way more than just a simple "CO" resort. (With folks hooking-up in private rooms, or designated play areas on the resort grounds.)
Any comments or experience here?
For Desire
"All Inclusive"
It sounds like this is more of just a "Clothing Optional" (CO) facility, and sex out in the open (on the beach, in the hot-tub, etc.) is not looked upon favorably.
One LS podcaster I heard called Desire “My happy place”... but it is not real clear (from their web) if Desire (one or both) is “Lifestyle Friendly”.
The Desire Cruises seem to be LS Friendly.
Also..
There are apparently two Club / Resorts for Desire:
Desire Riviera Maya Resort
Desire Riviera Maya Pearl Resort
What is the difference here, if any?
and / or...
Here in the "Lower 48"... It seems the only real "Lifestyle Resort" (that rivals places like Hedo & Desire) is:
Sea Mountain Lifestyle Resort
Sounds like a “Day Visit” facility that is "Lifestyle Friendly", with a few (15) luxury rooms... similar to Hedo & Desire in atmosphere.
Any comments or experience here?
Any other similar resorts (in the Lower 48)?
I am aware of some other "Lifestyle Resorts" that seem more like glorified clubs.
Freedom Acres - Devore CA ... just North of San Bernardino, CA / LA Area
I am also aware of a few others... but they seem to be just "CO" (Naturist) type facilities.
Paradise Lakes Resort … Lutz, FL - North of Tampa
http://www.paradiselakes.com/
“Paradise Lakes Resort is a private, clothing optional resort, located in the heart of the nudist capital of the United States - Pasco County, Florida.”
(More Naturist than Lifestyle... or so it seems.)
Caliente Resorts … Land O Lakes, FL - North of Tampa
https://calienteresorts.com/
“Adults Only”
https://calienteresorts.com/faq/
(More Naturist than Lifestyle.)
“Overt sexual behavior or the appearance of such behavior is unacceptable at Caliente Resorts. Behavior 'never needing an apology' is the norm.”
Paradise Valley Resort & Club - Dawsonville, GA
http://www.paradisevalleyclub.com/
(More Naturist than Lifestyle.)
“Behavior requiring an apology is not tolerated.”
(The term "Paradise" seems to come up a lot.) (Maybe it is just a name, in terms of cleanliness, atmosphere, etc.)
I know that is a lot... but any light shed on just one of these would be helpful.
Many of these sites do not have FAQ pages, for quick & easy answers.
I am also aware of the (limited?) crossover between Naturist & Swinger communities.
A simple "Copy & Paste" for a link reference would be greatly appreciated (for anything not mentioned here).
Most all of this I have heard mentioned on this BBS at some point (in the past few years).
Regardless of what the responses here are... I find it pretty amazing that there are so many LS type opportunities available.
