The local lifestyle scene is fairly intimate, which means that whenever a new club opens up all the area swingers get excited about the potential of a new club attracting new couples. This excitement occurred this weekend with the grand opening of the off-premise swinger club Extreme Glo Ultra Lounge .
Like high school cliques, swingers tend to run in groups that interact with each other but which also tend to be somewhat territorial. Some will only go to AAHZ parties at Caliente while other groups prefer private house parties. When a new club opens up, for awhile, it's unclear which groups or couples will populate it, or how the club will stack up in comparison to the other lifestyle events around town.
While I enjoy myself at both on and off premise swinger clubs, both offer a very different experience.
