Swingersboard Newbies Guide to Clubs

[JeffnLi]

So, the wife and I are off to our first on-premises club on Friday (Choice Nightclub in Providence (formerly B.K.C. or the Black Key Club)). They're holding an open house / costume party. The babysitter's arranged, the hotel reservations are made, costumes purchased...

We've tried to familarize ourseves with the layout of the place so we won't get lost (http://choice-nightclub.com/VirtualTour.htm if you're curious, clicking on a room name brings up a popup about that room).

I searched for a "Newbies Guide to Clubs" and it doesn't seem to exist - so let's make it (I did read "We are going to a club for the first time, what should we expect?" in the FAQ)! What should I/we/she bring? Not bring? Wear? Not wear? Questions we should ask when we take the orientation tour? What do you wish you had known before your first time? ???

I think what you read in the FAQ could be the guide for newbies.

The other questions you have will be best answered by the club host for the specific club you are going to. Every club is different so what to bring, what to expect, and what to wear will all be different.

Wouldn't the website for Choice nightclub have also details on the club itself including some information for newbies? Most websites for clubs do this for curious newcomers.

Actually just checked the link and they do provide quite a bit of information. They also do a tour on the night of the event

Orientations and tours are given at each event. The tour and orientation is held at 8:30 PM unless otherwise posted in our newsletter and/or event confirmation. Choice Nightclub reserves the right to schedule additional orientations and tours for nights with a large number of first time members/guests. In the event that additional orientations and tours are required, first time members/guests shall be informed of the specific time that they must arrive when receiving confirmation of their reservation.

By the way are you aware this is not just a swingers club?

An Adult Lifestyles Club caters to many different aspects of adult sexuality, where the traditional swingers parties primarily cater to heterosexual encounters between couples, or couples and single females. As an Adult Lifestyles Club we attract people who identify as heterosexual, bisexual, transgendered, and gay. Our members are interested in swing, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and fetish play (bd/sm, body worship, and just about anything else that’s legal!).

Good luck, have fun and play safe

Thanks for the replies so far. How about some generic advice for Newbies (like us) going to an on-premise club (not Choice specifically)?

Other posts have mentioned bringing mints, for example.

I've read you might need to bring condoms (most clubs including Choice do provide them), but you should definately bring your own non-latex condoms if you have a latex allergy. Custom sized condoms from http://secure.condomania.com/TheyFit/ have received good reviews.

One post somewhere even mentioned a wrist wallet: http://www.fringefashions.com/
Lubes (flavored/warming/desensitizing)?
Wipes (Wet-Naps from Walmart good enough)?
A towel?
Should she bring a small purse?
A lock for the locker?

Let's collect some thoughts and ideas here (which won't apply to all situations or clubs) and I'll organize them into a Guide.

I don't want to rain on your parade here, but I have to say it seems to me you are over thinking this a bit.

First of all, every club is different, so one really needs to talk to the club hosts to prepare oneself. Some clubs their is a lot of things one needs to provide or bring, most you don't have to bring anything or very little.

We have been to a quite a few clubs and most of them you would take pretty much the same stuff that you would take to any similar vanilla party.

If you are going to a club for the first time, I would recommend that you first talk to the hosts. Ask them what to bring, if anything, what the dress code is, etc.

Then dress to impress and go, have no expectations but be ready for anything up to your comfort level.

When you get to the club, interact with the other guests and have a good time.

That really is all their is to it, in my opinion. If you are like most of us were the first time, you will be a bit (ok a lot) nervous, but shortly after you arrive that will all go away as you realize that the club is filled with a bunch of other people just like you, just a bunch of regular folks, out for a good time.

we tend to agree, your over thinking things a bit, we go to a club in Hartford quite a bit and the first time we went, we were a bit nervous as is anyone i would think but, we talked to the owners beforehand on the basics of what goes on and so forth, once we walked thru the door they made us feel like we were old friends and have ever since, as for what to bring...we normally bring our own condoms although they do provide them..jut our thing i guess, other than that the club provides anything else you may need for your night of fun...hope this helps ..and if anyones around CT, look us up
