"Sex is certainly on the menu but it's not the sole focus," says founder Genevieve LeJeune. The OurPlace website says: "We boast real swinger folks, in a real sexy atmosphere." Guests can bring their own bottles, but, "no cans." You have been warned.įor women who want a different brand of "witty chat" Skirt Club offers a monthly women-only sex party with speakers and performers, as well as a chance to network. Kunal goes to the sex parties with a female friend, "I don’t tell my male friends about it - I wouldn't want them to come with me and seeing me naked doing dirty things." When he's not swimming at AbFab or shagging the best looking women at Le Boudoir, Kunal goes to OurPlace4Fun near King's Cross.
Le Boudoir in Aldgate offers events with names like "Knicker Free Friday" and "Satisfuxtion." Like AbFab, the venue's address is only available to members, and according to Kunal it's, "becoming increasingly popular - it's where you find the best-looking people!"
Kunal has since had sex with around 50 women, and, "I've sexually played with over 150." How does he broach the subject? "The conversation would just become very witty, talking about boobs so, 'I love your cleavage,' or 'have you got your nipples pierced?'" If he gets a green light, he goes in one of the "rooms with a view - they have glass in between so other people can see." Condoms are provided.ĪbFabParties aren't Kunal's only outlet. She recommended swinging clubs, and naturist swimming because I'd meet people of all body shapes and sizes." Photo: BK for 23 Paul Street. He says, "I lost all my confidence so my counsellor said I should go to places where I could take my top off. An operation had left him with a scar he felt self-conscious about. Kunal started going to AbFabParties three years ago, when a counsellor recommended it. Saunas are perfect for them, as it's so easy to clean up after."

Parties take place five nights a week, and according to its website, it's "The UK's friendliest erotic venue" and "particularly popular amongst those just beginning to explore their boundaries." It certainly seems to have a friendly ethos, even helping swingers get home: "Need to get back into London when the party ends? That's simple with the N9 night service bus from Heathrow Terminal 5." It’s really popular 5pm-7pm if you want a married man - they don't even bother taking their wedding rings off. Scott, who's gay, has been there, "loads." He says, "you just rock up and have fun for a few hours. Then I noticed actual sex in the steam room - I couldn’t see much but I could tell what was happening!" Chariots crops up in the hook-up section of Craigslist, in ads with titles like, "Gang Bang Waterloo Chariots." "Looking to hook up for some action," says one ad and, "I'm a hairy guy with a good solid 7 inches," says another. He says, "the bloke on the door said, 'you know what this place is?' and I said, 'yes it's a sauna!' So I got undressed and got into the hot tub –- that’s when I noticed it was all men. Keith, who's straight, went there by mistake. And it delivers what I want: sex on tap." Portnoy goes on to describe the sex she has at Rio's, as well as the unwanted advances: "John had followed me from the showers to the grooming area, still wanking as I blowdried my hair." Photo: Jerome Scott-BlountĬhariots, which describes itself as "the UK's biggest and best Gay & Bi-Sexual Mens Sauna group in London", has branches in Vauxhall and Waterloo. It has no state-of-the-art equipment, no Philippe Starck-designed interior or, in fact, any design at all except for a tropical theme that would be sadly dated were it not so unintentionally ironic. The spa features heavily in Suzanne Portnoy's memoir The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker. Rio's in Kentish Town dubs itself "London's Leading Naturist Health Spa." But it's not about naturism, it's about shagging.
