It is like any other business and with those liabilities. Then there is the taxman. With most businesses, you have to balance the input with the output. In addition, you cannot have a bar, no liquor. You could make it a co-op. Sell shares only to those who can be swingers. Alternatively, in some cases, just to single women. I am not to sure how it would run with single men joining. However, let us assume that you could charge a flat fee of $600 per year per couple, or $450 per single. I would charge higher for all singles as a precautionary measure. If the single then becomes a couple with someone else outside the co-op, you could use a prorated formula to make up the difference in your fiscal year. Moreover, as any other business, you could have a pay by month fee. Make sure this fee is larger than that $600 per year fee. It gives incentive for the swinger, or client, if you prefer to call them that to be full time. Then of course you have to have days of operation. Saturday’s into Sunday’s is a good example. That seems to be the norm. Of course, my favorite hotel party is very classy. The hostess dreams up themes for their get together. She is in effect, a marketing genius. You get to play and you have a fantasy in place. You pay $70 and they even have food. Another hotel party I have been at charges a little less. However, theirs is not that fancy. You do in effect get what you pay for.
Regrettably, for me, due to this lousy economy, I have only been to four last year. I live way out in the woods so playtime for me is far and few in between, for now. Gas prices are a killer! YIKES!

However, as I was saying, swinger clubs like any other business or song or book, needs a hook. If you can find that special something, that hook, you are in. You can keep it going and you do not always have to treat it as a business. As the night grows older and your guests are well taken care of, as host and hostess, you can join in the merriment. They always do!

So in effect, yes, I would like to own, or more part own a swinger’s club. I would treat it as a socialist co-op. X amount of money goes in; X amount of money goes out to cover expenses. However, organized hotel parties are already like that. Therefore, to have a club as it were, is almost dead. Taking a cue from the two hotel parties I have been at and I say, why bother to run a swinger club. Now if those hotel parties would sell a yearly-reduced subscription I would feel better about it. It is that co-op idea. However, I know why they will not, what happens if partners split up during the year? Who gets the reduced rate? In addition, you now have the potential of the dreaded single man. He puts the universe out of conjoinment. He is now the loose cannon where there is one cannon too many and not enough battlefields.
However, at the parties I have been at, I have seen the off-balance wheel alignment first hand. The rouge male hardly ever effects the playtime. As always, there are doers and watchers. Some men like to watch their women have a good time, so the universe is well balanced.
