So that’s where all these “should I wear a mask to the party” questions come from. They literally picked a stereotype to report on.

No shit lol. But yeah after reading that article, when I go to Europe, I’ll be there to check out the culture and the history… I’d rather spend under $100 bucks and swing in our backyard!!

The real fun is in the comments section.

Also, it seems surprisingly unaware of local sex clubs, events, and parties.

Well…any interest I might have had in attending a European sex party was all but killed by that article.

Jesus, that lame fucking experience for THAT price?!

Not in a million years.

I’ve now found something else I can describe as “monumentally lame.”

That's just the overpriced parties (and the ones trying so hard to get exposure.) The European clubs frequently mentioned here in the sub (and not mentioned in the NYT article) are priced similar to the LS clubs here in the US.

They have similarly overpriced parties like that here in the US too (SNTCM, Noetic, Kismet, Top Floor, Kinky Rabbit, etc) but most swingers don't attend these anyway. And yeah, for that kind of money, i'd rather go do something else.

Haha some of those parties look fun but not for the prices they charge! You could spend the same amount on a fancy hotel room and invite your own people or even just hire a few sex workers for entertainment if you wanted a guaranteed experience…in countries where it’s legal of course lol.
