I'm so glad I found this board! I never knew it existed! We used to host private house parties several years ago before we had kids. It was just a few couples and very informal. Now that the kids are older and not as dependent on us, we can have them do sleepovers at Auntie's house or Gramma and Grampa's house. We would like to host larger scale house parties. I've read with interest (and doom) about the issues of undercovers coming in, the media, crappy neighbors, etc. About the issue of having to pay taxes on a business, create a private club, etc. This is what we want to do in particular. Let me say up front that we do not plan on participating in the play. We want to have parties for 15-20 couples max. We want food costs covered, supplies covered (plates, cups, condoms, lube, sheets, towels, wipes, etc), maintenance fees covered (floor cleaning, laundry, etc.), and coming out a little above even would be wonderful. Hubby seems to think we would make a little more than a little over even, but I think otherwise. This is what we do not want to do - be a private club. What we have to offer is 20+ acres of secluded property (some neighbors are about 1-2 acres away with foliage coverage), an indoor hot tub, pool table, massage table, stand up arcade games, a bar (no liquor), soft drinks, water, coffee, tea, mixers, condoms, lube, wipes, towels, lots of clean sheets, lockers, two showers (one in bathroom and one at hot tub), fully furnished with wood floors and carpet, large screen TV with XXX movies, a possible spanking table, interesting furniture that is good for playing, an open room, a private room downstairs with two beds, and a very private room upstairs. And food - lots of food. Here is how we think things may go. People see our website on-line and make a purchase at our store (where we pay sales tax on the sale and they get an item). It would be condoms, toys, lube, movies, etc. They would have a "donation" price built in, but it wouldn't indicate that - it would just be a higher than normal price for an item. They would pay for it ahead of time (through PayPal which double checks identity, age, etc.) and we could ship the item out or they could pick it up. Purchase of said item (if "in stock" - if they are approved) would include an invitation to our "lifestyle social". The Social would be from 6-9 p.m. There would be food, socializing etc. much like an off-premise party. Then at 9 the "social" is over. If folks want to stay for party time, they can. If they meet somebody there they want to go elsewhere with or just want contact info etc. then they can leave. After people have left at 9, the doors will be locked and the "private party" party will begin. All attending either part will have to present their drivers license which we will copy and staple to a "survey" that asks basic info, getting to know you info, and "the fine print" stating that if you are cops/media/etc. that you are there on personal business, you're not offended by sex acts, nudity, etc. and hold us harmless, etc, and other legal jargon. Our thinking on this is that nobody is paying the day of the party. Nobody is paying a "donation". They are buying a tangible product and only possibly picking it up at the free, invite-only party. Thoughts??? -
I'm curious as to the prices of swingers clubs across the country and what you think is too much to pay to visit a club? So if you've visited any clubs near you, what did they charge? And did you feel it was worthwhile? We've visited 3 in our town (all off-premise), 1 has a bar and only charges $20 to enter. Two are typical (byob) hotel socials and the charge was $35-40. The on-premise club in Nashville that we typically go to is $50 (byob) on Saturday (or $75 for the full weekend), plus a membership fee of $10/week (or $100/year).
