Threesomes, Foursomes, And Moresomes

By Kari Sutton

SURE, IT CAN BE PLENTY FUN TO ROLL AROUND IN THE BED AT HOME. But sometimes you want a little something extra. You want to be around others who are comfortable with themselves and their sexuality, and comfortable playing for an audience. You want the rush and exhilaration of being in a space where raw, sexual energy shoots through the air. If that speaks to you, swinging might be up your alley.

If you want to get right on out there and start meeting folks, pay a visit to Mon Chalet. (monchalet.com) The venue bills itself as an adult resort, and the rooms come well-equipped with a range of furniture to get your sexy times on. So where does the swinging part come in? Check out the clothing-optional pool area. You can also pick up a swimming pass if you just want to check things out without committing to getting a room for the night.

It’s worth noting that most public events for swingers, both locally and in other cities, have tiered pricing. Women attending alone or with other women will pay next to nothing. Pricing for heterosexual couples is moderate, and men attending without a female companion face much steeper pricing. That is to say, much of the swing scene works from a pretty heteronormative mindset. This playground is primarily set up for straight couples and bisexual women.

But of course, there are always house parties. That’s where local swinger going by the name of Artis got her start. She describes her first experience: “I remember I was invited to a house swinger party by a friend of mine at the time…I was watching one man play with a woman and then a few minutes later that guy was playing with a guy. I couldn’t stop staring. I was fascinated at how both comfortable and turned on I was. Eventually, my friend went down on me right in the middle of it all, and not only could I not believe that I was able to climax, but the orgasm was new and more intense than ever before. I would later discover my joy of exhibitionism.”
