That's it. The LS club burned-down. And I say "Good Riddance". I'm on record, here on Swingersboard, saying the place had a bad reputation, the owner had been busted for multiple crimes, the front of the building (a pawn shop) had been raided for drugs and stolen goods -- it was a real sh*t show. It was every bad swinger stereotype rolled-into one club. It gave the whole lifestyle a bad name. Glad to see it's gone.- 8 replies

The owner of the local club (Not named here -- libel laws and all that) in Fredonia, NY, was arrested this morning, and it's all over the local papers and news media. Perhaps I should say 'arrested again'. Selling stolen goods, selling narcotics, prescription meds, and even money laundering according to one news outlet. This club owner runs a couple of businesses out of the property -- a Pawn Shop, RV rental, Jewelry store, and the swing club! -- all out of the back of a former bowling alley. He's been arrested for narcotics, there's allegations of fire insurance fraud, and receiving leniency in a plea deal in a murder investigation a number of years back. This is The Club in Western New York and Pennsylvania. How on Earth are we supposed to have any goodwill in the community -- in terms of zoning laws, business licensing, or even something as basic as sex-positivity or acceptance of alternative lifestyles -- if this crap is the public face of Swingers? The usual complaints are "It will bring crime!" or "It will degrade the neighborhood!" "Those people are immoral criminals!" Well, d*mn it -- it seems Dick and Jane Uptight are spot-on correct about it. We (Mr/Mrs SJ Bluebirds) did not attend this club; we -- and others -- have known the owner was 'unsavory' at best. But we thought as long as he kept things above-board and legal, nobody who attends the club would be affected. But now I'm p*ssed off about it, and now understand that this sets any and all advances in sexual tolerance back 50 years in this community. This is why we can't have nice things. F*ck it.

A frequent complaint in this section — and one that is justified — is that when the mainstream press covers lifestyle matters it’s either to titillate the reader/viewer or shame the subjects of the coverage. Or very often both. Here’s one that is neither. The entire New York Times Sunday Magazine this weekend is devoted to, as the headline to this post says, love and sexuality as it plays out over the course of a day in New York City. One of the many vignettes is from a sex party in Manhattan. It’s only a single photograph and a hundred words or so. But it’s completely non-judgemental and definitely not written to titilate. The term “lifestyle” is never used, but I think it represents how most of us here would like for it to be understood, as the expression of one aspect of the broad subject that is human sexuality. The Times has a paywall, but you get several articles a month for free. I recommend you spend one of those freebies reading not just about the sex party — which is just a small part — but the entire contents of the magazine. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/06/07/magazine/new-york-love-city.html -
My boyfriend and I are relatively new to swinging . We would like to find swinger resorts or weekends in the NY area, or within a 2 hour drive of the NY area. Any information would be greatly appreciated -
Hello everybody. My wife and I are from New York City, and new to swinging. In fact, we haven't tried yet, but are eager to. Except this looks like a complicated world I tried to google "swingers clubs in NYC", but I found myself instantly buried under a ton of information, jargon, websites with tiny writing and hundreds of pics of people who seem to have been doing this all their life, themed parties with wild costumes, even morbid stuff... I mean, I have no judgement at all on anything, and I understand that at some point, swingers become part of an underground culture with its own codes, rules, terminology, etc. But for now, WE KNOW NOTHING We just want a kind, non-agressive introduction to this new world. Can someone gently take us by the hand ? Concretely: we're looking for a club in New York (hopefully Brooklyn, but we can travel) where we'd feel comfortable, chill to nice music, have drinks, and observe some action, without pressure to participate -- but with room to, if we want. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Ok so I have never opened myself to the idea of swinging until recently. Me (25) and my man (39) have been happily together for 7 years and have an amazing sex life because we both love trying new things and experimenting. The idea of swinging has always played in the back of my mind as more of a fantasy than a reality but recently he decided he didn't mind the idea anymore because he knew where we were in our relationship and was comfortable with it. One of the great things about us is we are both very open and honest with each other about everything. We have talked a lot about this in the past couple weeks. Our rules and limitations on people and even minor small things. The problem is we live in really Northern NY and there doesn't seem to be anything up this way, club wise. We want to use a club because it's a small area and we operate three businesses in the area. Also we know a lot of people and we decided on no friends, workers, or clients in case something went wrong. Does anyone know of any clubs in our area or even relatively close because NYC is like 5 1/2 hours from me. Thanks to all and if anyone has any suggestions or good advice for us for our first time I would love to hear it.
