The Swingers Board - View Single Post - Covering expenses of providing private play parties

A little background info, we have put on a few private parties over the years that have been a lot of fun and were successfull. We always invited specific peopel that we either knew or wanted to meet. With those parties we provided a safe and comfortable location and activities for people's enjoyment and never asked for any money although some people offered a small donation to help cover costs.

We are now considering hosting small parties (5-10 couples) on a regular (monthly or bi-monthly) basis. As hosting house partys in our home is not an option we have found a nearby cottage-type hotel suite that would be perfect for hosting the kind of parties we have in mind. These cottages come with a price tag however and since this going to be a regular thing doing it out of pocket is just not an option either.

So my question is how do you address the money issue for a private party without getting into any legal ramifications? In the state we are in it is illegal to charge an admission in an establishment where people come to have sex. This rule applys to lifestyle clubs and there has never been a successfull on-premise club in this state due to the wording of those laws. Even the word "donation" or "gift" is not a loophole or exemption in these laws

Since we are not a club and this is not a commercial money making venture is there a way can we ask for donations to help offset our costs without it appearing as an "admission" charge and ending up on the 6 o'clock news?

Any ideas and suggestions will be much appreciated.
