We knew from the comments that that LP members are a particularly friendly bunch but weren’t expecting how sexy and welcoming everyone would be. We look forward to the next opportunity we get to attend an LP swinging party.

We had a very naughty time with some very gorgeous people. Well done for arranging such a wonderful event. Our first play party but certainly not our last! Cant wait for the next one! Warm fuzzies xxx

Thanks to everyone for giving us two total newbies (but with slut potential obviously!) a great time and making us feel really welcome. We met lots of sexy and saucy people and had so much fun, really looking forward to seeing you all again!

Oh we loved our first party! Thx a million for organising, we can’t wait for the next friendly, fun, sexy meeting!

Great venue, gorgeous people what more do you need for a very enjoyable play party. Thanks to Cliff and everyone else who organised it all. Let’s hope there’ll be more of the same in the near future.

WOW, what a fantastic night, again. The amount of work that goes into making these successful nights really shows.
We love LP because the crowd is both sexy and sophisticated, and quality locations are the icing on the cake.
Once again thanks, and thank you to all those that attended, you made it a wonderful night. A real top end party.

We love LP! We have met some incredibly sexy people and have had some really rude fun! Although LP has been our only swinging experience we hear from so many that LP is creme de la creme of the swinging world. We are certainly spoilt for choice! I look forward to every event like a four year old waiting for Christmas. Bring on the next event, with love and thanks

A big thank you to everyone who helped with the party last night. It was a wonderful evening, a great venue and a huge group of really attractive, friendly and sexy people. We caught up with old friends and made quite a few new ones.
We hope to see you all again soon.

We’d like to thanks for all the work put into organising parties over the past few months. LP has always been the friendliest swinging site. This weekend’s party was fantastic!

Thanks to the organisers for the lovely social. Although it was our first time to the scene, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately we arrived late and didn’t have opportunity chatting with everyone, we look forward to meeting all the LPers very soon.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone, who helped to make us feel welcome at our 1st social. We had a great time and can’t wait for the next one. Although we do wish that we had more time, as we didn’t get to meet everyone ..maybe next time?

We had a great time at our first social. Really enjoyed meeting so many like-minded people in a relaxed environment. Looking forward to the next one!

Had a great night last night, it was very enjoyable and everyone was very nice and welcoming. We are looking foward to meeting you all again and getting to know some alot better . Thanks for a great night.

Thanks everyone – we had the best time meeting such a fun and friendly crowd – no idea what we were nervous about! Can’t wait to see you all again. We were only sorry we missed the show – will definitely skip work early next time!

Thanks for such a great night full of lovely sexy people! will look forward to the next event

A big thank you to Cliff and the team for organising a great social last night. It was good to see so many new people there as well as catching up with some old friends.
Thanks again.

Golly gosh. What a superb night. Great people,lovely atmosphere and well chosen venue.
So many gorgeous people not only in looks but genuine and warm. It was our first time and we’d like to say a big thanks to Clifford….you guys are lovely.

Thanks for organizing a great social. The facilities was great for the occasion – not to big, not to small. Great dj – and she was hot too!!! So many cool people in one place… We had a great time!

Thanks to everyone for another great social night with Loungeparties. We’ve been on LP for 2 years now and the community just keeps going from strength to strength. We’ve seen the site grow steadily from a small data base of members to a thriving lively place to be. The credit should go to all the admin guys & gals and of course the members who make it so friendly.

Wow Wow Wow!
What a great evening we had at our second LP event, smaller private gatherings are definitely the way forward, the social side of the evening is as important as any fun that may be had and we were lucky enough to thoroughly enjoy both! To all thanks for a great night, a truly wonderful night! Look forward to the next event!

Good god we’re knackered – but very smiley!! An excellent party, a really fantastic night! It was great to see everyone we met last month again and really good meeting everyone else – can’t wait for the next one
xxxx

What can we say that hasn’t already been said? This was our first LP event and we had a great evening… we’ll definitely be back for more. Those of you whom we missed speaking to – nothing personal, there just wasn’t enough time to get around the whole room. We’ll catch up with you at the next event.

We had a GREAT time last night and thank you so much for all the organising. It was a fab introduction to the scene and everyone was really welcoming – not half as nerve wracking as we thought it would be. We can’t wait for the next event!

It was our first true LP Event and we can honestly say it was the best looking group of people we’ve seen in one place at a ‘fun’ event. It’s just a shame one can’t speak to everyone in the room, even for a few minutes.
Although boringly shy and rather backward at coming forward, we never once felt under pressure by anyone, although we did want to pressurise ourselves to be more forward – are we the only ones who felt that way?
The venue at first seemed too small, we were one of the last to arrive, but when people started to move to the play area the main room opened up, in fact we’d say the number of people was perfect for the size of venue. It was very friendly and intimate – fantastic organisation – well done!

I was delighted to meet some very sexy newcomers – the company of all of them is going to be in great demand! – as well as to chat to old members and make new friends. I echo the comments that I wish I had more time to talk more to more people…
I fully support reserving places for new couples at these sell-out events as we did this time and hope that continues as planned.
Can’t wait until next time

What a wonderful evening! It was brilliant to see so many gorgeous people in one place. And, wow, was there some hot action back in the play rooms!

As per usual we’re kicking ourselves for not mingling more with the sexy crowd that were there!!
We both had great fun in the bar (no suprise there ehh!!) & in the playrooms!!
The next day was a right off as the jet lag/wine/late night/sex finally caught up!!
Top night
Kisses

We had a fantastic time last night! Made new friends, met some old ones, loved the play party!
We will definately come to the next play party, and are now 100% LP’ers. We love you all!
Thanks for a great night.

Thankyou everybody for making it a truly wonderful evening, excellent venue and party….
It was great to see so many friendly faces and engage in the usual LP extrovert ways..
xxx

What a superb night!

We can only repeat what’s already been said, fantastic night full of fantastic people. Even though the venue was smaller than we expected we felt it actually added to the atmosphere rather than being lost in a huge location. Great night and thanks to those who made it extra special, you know who you are

Big big thank-you Loungeparites, for organising a wonderful night. Lovely to catch up with those we know and delighhtful to meet some new friends. What a sexy bunch of people we have in LP. The events just seem to get better and better.

Ditto, and we can’t take the goofy smiles off our faces! We had the horniest night and would love a repeat; great venue and hot hot people. Just wish we had loads more time to say hi to everyone properly

Many thanks for a great night! it was really nice to catch up with so many LPers.. everyone looked gorgeous and the place was packed! We have come used to having these great socials! we definitely enjoyed the evening!!!

What a great evening – a real delight for the senses, mainly touch! Fabulous sexy LP couples and single ladies mmm lovely. We loved catching up with old friends and making new ones – superb!

It was really good for us to meet so many sexy people for our first Loungeparties bash, we had a great time and will be coming to future events. It was a very Grand setting, but the thing that made it most for us was how welcome everyone made us feel having only joined the site last Sunday. Hope to be at the next event.

Wow – what a party! The Valentines Ball was definitely THE most glamorous thing I’ve ever been to. The people were warm, suitably beautiful, and extremely keen to help me benefit from my virgin voyage (you know who you were, those of you that helped in the very hands on sense). I can’t wait for the next one. Already quivering with anticipation…

Dear Cliff and LP Team, Ditto the comments made to regarding the Valentines Ball. We were amazed at how welcome we were made to feel by all who attended to make it an extremely memorable first debut evening. We will certainly attend future events and look forward to meeting more sexy, sophisticated and fun people. We look forward to meeting more of you soon.

Thanks , we really had a great evening. We have found non LP events to be over-hyped and then arrived to find our inflated expectations dashed in seconds by the seedy and tacky environment. There is a genuine demand for more sophisticated events and we would be happy to pay more in the future. We are members on a couple of sites but we definitely prefer the people we have met on LP and feel there is a definite sense of community here.

Hi all. Just to say a big thanks to all who organised the event. It was fantastic. Mine and fetishgirls first event and loved it. No pressure, great people, great venue and great atmosphere. To all we meet, thanks for making it special and a special yum to that lovely kitten who made the night perfect for us.

Thank you Loungeparties! for organising such a great event. We enjoyed every moment from it. Everything was magnificent. Congratulations! And what a beautiful crowd. Certainly one of the best and most high class parties we’ve ever been to. Cant wait for the next.

Hey everyone. Well what an initiation ceremony for this LP Virgin!! A spectacular introduction and, to echo others, I was made to feel very welcome. I too understand the amount of work and cost that goes into something like this so many thanks to Cliff and all the organisers, volunteers and sponsors. Thanks again to all concerned and to all who made me feel so welcome. LP is certainly full of interesting, warm, friendly and fun people I’d be happy to meet again.

Thank you Cliff and Co! The champagne flowed, the performers were brilliant, the atmosphere electric and the company sensational! Excellent weekend, thanks to Angela and John who sorted out the Friday social also!

Thanks to everyone who made the weekend a fantastic event we had a wonderful time and it was fun trying to put names to faces we had only previously seen in pics on the profiles (which I have to say I was scarily good at, must be spending too long on here!). Venue and everything about it was stunning and everyone looked fantastic with or without the masks.

Hi guys …a belated thank you from us both. It was our first event and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was great to meet so many of you friendly people and we were both very excited to be there. Great venue and some stunning costumes ! We had a lot of fun and are already looking forward to our next venture out !!

Also want to add our thanks to the organisers. Such a good night! Met loads of great people, truly unforgettable. Only a shame we lost track of a few people we would have loved to see more of… Everyone was dressed amazingly.

A great event set in a fantastic venue. The performances by the artistes were awesome and the work done by all in charge superb. Well done to all concerned….the bar has been raised!

A truly spectacular event, the layout was a perfect use of a truly wonderful venue. A big thanks to all who had a hand in making it happen so successfully and congratulations to a lovely crowd of people that attended and made the night so friendly and sexy. We don’t want to wish time away but roll on next year.

Another belated thankyou from Connie and me. We’re brand new to the scene, this was our first ever party and it will stay in our memory for a very long time. Everyone was so friendly, the atmosphere was hot but unpressured and, to our surprise, we got stuck in relatively early in the evening, starting off with a very skillful demonstration from the whip-meister-general (you know who you are…), followed by some “interaction” with a few more sexy couples (again, you know who you are…). We can’t wait for the next event

A bit late with the thank you from us, we’re only just really waking up. A truly wonderful evening, perfect down to every detail, visually stunning from the moment we arrived, blindingly stimulating and a beautiful, mad bunch of people. Thank you all. Cliff you’re a genius.

A huge thank you and big hugs to the organisers for all of your hard work in making the ball happen. We had a… ball!
It was wonderful to see all of our friends looking so sexy and also to meet some fantastic new people.

It was really good for us to meet so many sexy people for our first LP bash, we had a great time and will be coming to future events.
It was a very Grand setting, but the thing that made it most for us was how welcome everyone made us feel having only joined the site last sunday.
Hope to be at the next event.

Although I’m only echoing what’s been said above, we’d like to add our thanks to Cliff and Co for organising such a fabulous evening.
I had a great time (some of you may have noticed…). We really enjoyed meeting so many lovely sexy people and are looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Just to add our thanks to cliff and all his delightful helpers for organising such an amazing event. It was sexy, fun, and deliciously enjoyable in every sense. It was so good to meet old friends and new, our only regret is that the evening flew by ( even though we lasted until 3.30am) and we did not get a chance to chat to more people. Never mind we are looking forward to the next LP meeting when we can all meet up again.
Thanks again to everyone to made the evening so great.

Thank you cliff and all others involved with the organisation of last night. It was great to catch up with old and new friends in such sexy surroundings. We know how much work you must have put into it and it went without a hitch!

Thanks to Cliff and all the amazing people that had a hand in putting the event together. we had such fun! the music was amazing, the food was great and plenty of it! and lots and lots of drinks! we looved the entertaintment and most of it the people that we met. all the couples we had a chance to meet and share a drink with were amazing… the event was so much more than we were expecting, it was so elegant and classy all the way!!!

A very big thank you to Cliff and co for a fantastic night.
Still being fairly new to the scene the Marked Ball had always been top of our ‘to do’ list and last night lived up to all our expectations.
The location was ideal and the mix of sexy LPer’s made for a very memorable night.
Well done to all those who organised, helped and performed

Just got back, feeling tired but with a huge grin on my face. Just want to say thanks to everyone involved in organising the event. The house was superb, particuarly liked the balcony, a perfect spot for people watching. It was everything that we wished for.
Would also like to thank the LP crowd, what a great mix of people. The conversation is lively and the sex is sizzling, what more could we ask for. The fact that everyone made such an effort and looked truly gorgeous was just a bonus. Roll on the next event, just wish that some of you lived further north.

Just now recuperating from a night of sex, fun and frolicks
Many thanks and well done Cliff for finding an amazing venue… it was grand in every sense of the word…. your organisers really did a fantastic job and we look forward to the next one.

We had a wonderful night at the LP Valentines Maked Ball, and we’re glad to hear that everybody else feels the same. Everything was cool, the venue was spectacular, nice performances and atmosphere. Cliff really surpassed himself once again and we are all grateful, as the outcome was great!
Many thanks to all the boys and girls for their efforts.
Of course, as always, the main reason for the success was the sexy guests.
We are looking forward to our next LP grand event
Kisses and love

Thanks, loungeparties, for organising the social on Saturday. T and I both had a really great evening there and the venue worked really well for our “intimate” gathering.
Thanks to everyone who came along as it was a cool, sexy, fun group

Congratulations to LP for organising a truly wild and decadent affair. We had an absolutely amazing time with a certain naughty couple who will remain nameless!! Thinking about it, the dynamics of the night were definitely enhanced by the male-male contact side. For the ladies, it was a great turn on to see their men getting down to some manly action whilst for the guys, it allowed for as many options as the ladies! Let’s see more of these events and I’d urge other LP’ers to consider coming along. Whilst the male-male side of things was a significant part of the night, it was the anything goes feeling that made the night such a great success!!

Many many thanks for a truly outstanding event last night for both of us. A great initial drinks reception followed by a great venue to kick things off. The attention to detail and lovely decoration really set the scene for a very sexy evening.Met some great new people who all generated a truly electric atmosphere.
We both look forward to attending the next event when it can be organised.
You’ll definitely be seeing a great deal more of us in the future.

We had a great nite and would recommend your parties as one of the best we have been too.
We would love to attend another event if you should organise another one.

Thanks for organising such a fantastic night, it was electric. Good crowd, nice venue and lots of horny debaucherous fun. Kate & I both enjoyed ourselves very much and look forward to a repeat of the same theme / idea later in the year.

An excellent night with a great crowd of sexy open people. Met and made some new friends as well as catching up with others.
The numbers, mix, bar and suite was “spot on” An excellent event that should be repeated in the future please.

Thanks for hosting this fantastic party – what a brilliant sexy crowd of open-minded people all in one place. Definitely the best LP event we have been to so far. We felt that bringing in people from the sister sites worked so well – a magic mix. A bit like throwing a box of fireworks into a fire to see what happens – spectacular!
Any plans for a sequel later in the year?

I thought I should say that the party last night (bi party)was absoloutely fab and thanks to Nicky and Cliff for organising it. A repeat is def on the cards don`t you think Cliff? The bar and social was great and the apartment lovely, the hosts very accommodating and the naughtiness outstanding. Bravo!

To all the sexy guests from last night’s bi-party,
Thank you all for making the party an outstanding success. What a group of people… great company and so hot and playful. What an electric atmosphere!
I really enjoyed last night, got some very positive feedback and we would be delighted to organise something similar in the future.

We had a fantastic night and wanted to pass on out gratitude for a job very well done.

What a Venue! What generous hospitality! What lovely smiles all night long!
Thanx sooooo much for a wonderful party – really felt I was in some kind of ‘eyes wide shut’/fantasy type situation such were the surroundings and company… Thoroughly enjoyed just getting lost in it all with beautiful friends! Thanx again Xx

Thanks very much loungeparties, we had a great time and really enjoyed ourselves. We met some old and new friends and it was a really wonderful night…the party had it all, beautiful setting, lighting, music, finger buffet, drinks, great hosts and very sexy LP people around.
It was a great success and we hope everyone had a great time, because we did! Thanks again for a fun night.

We’d just like to echo what others have written – a fabulously sexy night, gorgeous location, beautiful crowd and great atmosphere. We felt the fact that everyone was dressed sexy from the start made for a more erotic vibe and we liked that a lot.

We KNEW this would be a night not to miss and what can we say? We can’t thank you enough for your generosity in hosting an excellent party in a superb venue. I think we speak for everyone that was there that it was perfect – GR8 atmosphere, venue, people… We found it VERY hard to leave but this just means we need a repeat performance sometime soon
This is going to B a very hard one to top indeed!

Fever eat your heart out! That was a luxurious venue and your hospitality was extremely generous.. i don’t think anyone left without a smile on their face
It will be hard to top this party… The ladies were extremely erotic in their slips and lingerie and Tash and Jade you looked very erotic with your nipple tassles…
Lovely way to end the year..

Great party, fantastic venue, cracking atmosphere, brilliant company, what more can we say, ahhh yes, thanks

A huge thank you to K and J for organising the Edinburgh play party. We had a superb time. The venue was stunning and the guests excellent. We have great memories of a wonderful night.

We’ve been members since Jan 05′ and its been a tremendously fun year!.. we joined LP to attend the Masquerade Ball and met the most amazingly friendly, sexy people that made swinging all that we had hoped for… Cliff and his team run this site with great professionalism and are very approachable no matter what..
The socials for us are the most fun … so we highly recommend loungeparties Look forward to many more years of fun here!

I had a fabulous time at the private Loungeparties party last night. There were so many hot people! Thanks to everyone who attended.My favourite bit was when lots of the gorgeous chicks started stripping down and changing into sexy undies! I thought that the venue worked very well and I am glad that there is going to be another Loungeparties event there. Put your names down early next time, people! Great company, great event. Thanks again super sexy LPers.

Thanks for such a great night and congratulations for the organizing of the party. It was great to see so many Loungepartiers together and hope that you’ll soon be able to repeat this fantastic effort.
xXx

Thanks to everyone who made last night in Cheltenham such fun. Particular mention to the bemused non-swinger couple getting chatted up at the bar Special thanks to those lovely people who made it to 310 although I understand we had competition all over the hotel. (I trust you put my condoms to good use ). Thanks to Sophie for working so hard to get us all together.
So, if the champagne didnt turn up, can anyone tell me why I have such a hangover?

Loungeparties has continued to develop and improve in response to its users needs. It is the only swingers site that is small enough to do this, and has a wonderfully democratic community feel to it. The parties are also cool and it’s nice that members can organise socials whenever they want via the Forums. This site is the dog’s bollox!

Dina and I wanted to add our thanks…we left early, but well satisfied with the company and the food…
Thanks again for hosting

That was brilliant. Had I not had to work the next day I would have loved to have been a little more loved up in the lounge. What a great group of people you all are — we are both continually impressed with just the fantastic level of socialising that we can do with all these gorgeous people… and the idea that things can get frisky is a great bonus to have in the back of your mind when you’re looking out over such an attractive crowd. Hope to see everyone again very soon.

Just got back from a love fest weekend in London and would like to say thanks for a fab, sexy, sensual and downright rude barbie. It was a pleasure to meet so many lovely people, new and old friends I hope. It was the shortest 12 hours and quite simply a fab do – you did yourself proud
Hope to see you soon guys
lots of love and kisses

We wholeheartedly second that. Thanks for a great evening – wonderful food, drink and company. Look forward to seeing you both when you get back from your holiday.

Thanks for a great introduction to Loungeparties. Food, wine & company surpassed all our expectations and we look forward to seeing many of our new friends again.

This was our first Loungeparties event and it was just beautifull. We met great people there and hope to see many of them soon again, we’d also like to thank Cliff for creating Loungeparties and making it all happen!

Loungeparties hold the best socials and parties of any swingers club. They are great fun, never clicky and the people are sexy, classy and very naughty. Fun is virtually guaranteed in more ways than one Come along

We would like to thank Loungeparties for putting so much effort to organise such a superb evening! And a big thank you to all LPers for a great company and a great community. To those in room 326 – sorry about my (Nat) haste departure, it’s just it was the time for me to pass out so had to get home fast. Some elements of our party attire are missing! Cliff – I believe you owe me one black bra! Poor Phil had 3 hours of sleep before going to work like a trojan/idiot. All in all, a very sexy evening/night indeed!

Big thank you Paul for pulling together such a great night and a brilliant crowd. We had a great time with everyone last night, partied more than we could handle and got back after a warm sexy and fun night. It was exactly the type of party we love with a great sex vibe full of people we’d like to stay friends with for a long time.

The Swing Social was out first LP experience and we loved it! We arrived at 8ish stone cold sober and after 5 minutes of persuading Gary he didn’t need any dutch courage, we went in to what I can only descibe as the most laid back, fun evening you could ever have! It wasn’t clicky at all and everyone spoke to anyone. We met some fantastic people all very normal and great fun, not to mention sexy! We can’t wait for our next Social and have the feeling we have only dipped our toe into the water with so much more excitement to experience with LP yet!

It was good 2 meet so many lovely people at last. Apologies 2 those of u we didnt get round 2 saying hi 2, but the night just seemed go by so quick. Plus half way through the nite, half the people dissapeared =o(. Seems like room 326 was pretty busy. We had 2 decline the kind offer 2 join u guys as Tash had 2 be up at 6am.

Wow, I think it is fair to say that we were officially part of the 326 club and are still reeling at the sexiness of it all. Anyway, thanks again and we are really looking forward to the next one.

Big thank you Loungeparties for pulling together such a great night and a brilliant crowd. We had a great time with everyone last night, partied more than we could handle and got back after a warm sexy and fun night. It was exactly the type of party we love with a great sex vibe full of people we’d like to stay friends with for a long time.

Big thanks to Loungeparties for a fabulous weekend, venue, weather & people were great. It was really nice to put a face to all the names, everyone was very friendly and welcoming…..some more than others ………no names required, you know who you are! Enjoyed the fun n’ frolics by the pool and the late night circus show in the pool room.
Lots of you thanked us for making the effort (from Bonnie Scotland) it was well worth it, would have happily traveled twice the distance for half the fun !
Looking forward to our next LP event..

It’s official – we are no longer “swinging virgins”! And what a great introduction! Big smiles, big thank yous and big lots of things! We’ve been LPV’d – cheers Cliff!
Lots of !!!!! sums up how we feel, still a little shocked, but in a very good happy way. Thanks to all those who made our evening so memorable (you know who you are!)

Wow! What a collection of people – we’re so lucky to be a part of this. The night was yet another to confirm for us how unique LP is as a community. Along with meeting some fabulous new faces its the only enviroment in which we can see so many LP friends at once in all their glory – with that line between being purely sociable and being more intimate a little blurred and that fizzy, electric pulse in the air… We’d always recommend the socials to anyone who hasn’t been – they are a wonderful part of this community. You’ll enter an enviroment where some have relationships with each other already, see the genuine feeling between friends, share and learn about experiences and meet likeminded people looking to explore… and find it’s all terribly civilized – no pressure!
Kisses,

What a great event, for us as newbies. we met some lovely people ( you know who you are!). loungeparties, and all the other lovely people we saw, but did not meet that night, many thanks for a wonderful evening! it has truly opened our eyes and we are definitely looking forward to the next party, where we hope to meet more of you lovely people!

Thought we would our thanks to Cliff and his sexy helpers for organising another great swinging party. Its always good to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. When’s the next one?

We had a really good time last night, loved the people and the venue! Paying for it today though (worst hangover!!).
Many thanks for organizing a lovely get together! Have a good weekend, everyone!

As newbies.. it was very daunting to go to our first party. but we arrived early.. and met some fab people…felt really comfortable… Excellent Site, excellent People. Looking forward to the next event.

We had an absolutely excellent time at our first loungepartyl: Gold stars to Cliff for creating a site that has such a genuine and lovely bunch of people on it!
We highly recommend LP to anyone

Big thanks to Cliff for all their hard work….great site, and great events. We enjoyed meeting everyone at the Erotic Ball, and will do our best to make it to as many events as possible!

So well organised, such sexy company. Cliff has created the very best forum for people to meet in a ‘no pressure’ environment with the potential for such a sexy time. Last nights outing to the Erotica Ball was our first venture with Loungeparties. The first of many we think. Thanks to everyone involved.

A unique and sophisticated format. The parties have been fresh and exciting, with some of the sexiest group of friendly people we’ve come accross. Highly recommended for genuine couples, a perfect place for experienced and new couples to the scene. Thank you Cliff for finding the missing x-factor.

It was a great night and we are really enjoyed ourselves. everyone was fun to chat to and play with. We are already looking forward to the next party and can hardly wait.Thanks again everyone for making it a great success and thanks to Cliff

T and I had a ball. Thanks again to Cliff and all the sexy people we had the pleasure of pleasure with. We will be clearing our diary for the next Loungeparty!

A big thank you to Cliff for organizing yet another fantastic party on Saturday night….. It was great to meet so many sexy new faces!! Yet another horny night!!!!

Went to our first swinging party on saturday. Had a great time, everyone was really friendly and the whole atmosphere was relaxed. Met some really sexy people and we are already looking forward to the next party in London.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone who attended Saturday nights swinging party in docklands. It was our first party and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to Cliff for hosting it. Everyone was so friendly and we felt that we made some real friends there.

Great night last Sat – fab glam venues & lovely people & really enjoyed the raunchy after party – a big thanks to Cliff. Looking forward to the next one very much

What can we say? excellently organised, glamorous venues, enticing guests, relaxed atmosphere and incredibly erotic moments in harmony with any level of involvement. Thanks for the laughs, the arousal and the fun of it! We await impatiently the next bash.

We enjoyed the docklands social and after party very much…being a bit of an odd couple its sometimes tricky to fit in but this party was so friendly and relaxed…and I think Miki (the higher quality half of this cpl) especially would enjoy to get to know some of the attractive and sexy girls and guys better.

Thanks Loungeparties and the other couples who helped the two of us have such a great evening! This was our first time at a swinging party and will not be the last. Nice and friendly atmosphere at drinks and great venue for the after party….. and oh… those sexy couples. Phu…. did it really happen??? An amazing experience!!

Fabulous evening. Venues were perfect. Guests were attractive, sexy, fun and interesting – lots of people we would like to get to know better! Thanks to Cliff for organising it. We can’t wait until the next one.

Thank you so much for the effort last Saturday night. Being very new to the scene, it was a comfortable and sexy introduction, we had a great time. And thank you sooo much to all the sexy people there who made it so comfortable and sexy for us!

This is a great way to meet other likeminded people, especially since you get verified as a real couple. Thanks Guys, see you again soon.

We had a really enjoyable evening on Tuesday, it was our first Lounge Parties social and we were made to feel very welome indeed. The only downside was that the evening went so quickly but we’ll definately be coming to the next ones! Thanks to all invloved in getting it organised!

Just a quick note to say we had a great time last night, and met loads of good people. Will try to stay in touch!

Thanks to Cliff for organising it and to everyone we met on Saturday night who helped to make it such fun. To those we didn’t meet (unfortunately we were late arriving), we hope to meet you at a future event. We had a brilliant time. Arrived late and tired after a stressful day but there was a superb turn out of beautiful and interesting couples. The party mood was infectious and we had a drink and a laugh then played until dawn.

It was great to spend time in such friendly, easy-going, attractive and relaxed adult company, and be made to feel welcome. Thanks and see you next time.

Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been to many other events, this is one not to be missed. Classy, friendly, no-pressure and many wonderful people. We met many lovely people and are looking forward to more! We’ll be back and hope you’ll come out and say hello too!

A great night – met loads of sexy and very friendly people, and a chance to catch up with some familiar faces. Can’t wait for the next one.

Thanks for all, Wonderful night, smarty people, nice place, we love all, and for the future we need to meet you again. What do you think about an italian summer project event?

Thanks to everyone who made the Loungeparty last night such a brilliant night. It was particularly good to meet so many new people that I had only previously seen on the site. This was a hot and sexy crowd! If the evening had stopped when I left the bar, I would have been impressed but it just got better! About forty of us carried on partying upstairs in one of the hotel suites. Wow!
Thanks to Cliff and all those who helped for organising the evening – and thanks to all those I got to know and those I got to know better

Great to meet you last night and thanks for taking time to make us feel at ease on arriving at our first ‘social’. We really enjoyed the evening and all ‘newbie jitters’ were soon forgotten due to the incredibly chilled atmosphere. A great chance to meet attractive couples in a relaxed, non-threatening environment. Spent time with many new couples plus Loungeparty old-timers – sharing their interests and insights. Great fun! Can’t wait for the next one!

Fabulous night. We met some great people and had an enormous amount of fun. Really looking forward to the next one. Many thanks to Cliff for setting it up and making it such a special evening.

Kathleen and I had a GREAT time at your party on Sat. night. Your selection process seems excellent. As one person said to us “it is very pleasing to the eye to just look around the room”. So congratulations on creating the perfect relaxed atmosphere for meeting like-minded couples.

Thank you for organising Saturday night. Emma and I will definitely come again and recommend your gatherings to others.

We really enjoyed the party. It was our first experience of Loungeparties and we couldn’t be more impressed. There were quite a few couples there we fancied. This sounds silly but we’ve replied to ads on the net and when we’ve seen the people’s faces either in photos or in the flesh it’s been a bit of a let-down. This is a much better way of meeting people who you know are both genuine participants.

The couples we talked to were very friendly and it was surprisingly easy to mingle. We also chuckled at how some people really blatantly eyed others up – with their partners approval. If that happened at any other function there’d probably be a few fights and some horrific rows when they got home! We look forward to the next one!

We’d just like to say thank you for making us feel so welcome at last saturday’s party. In less than 1 hour, not only did we feel at home, but we meet some interesting & fun couples who we hope to meet again very soon We’d definitely be interesting the next party & we have already spread the word to a couple of friends we know. See you soon

As newbie’s we really weren’t sure what to expect, but we had a great night.The atmosphere was very relaxed and just what we were looking for. There was a good mix of good-looking, friendly people that we hope to see again. We’re really looking forward to the next one.

Just a quick note to thank you for a lovely time on Saturday night. We managed to meet some lovely people, one couple in particular whom we ended up having some late night fun with…

Thanks for the meeting on Saturday – it was far more upmarket and relaxed than we had expected. We met a couple who are going to be fantastic friends and spent a lot of the weekend with them, just talking and getting to know them.

We had a wonderful time at the first LoungeParty. It gave us an opportunity to meet new couples and also catch up with old friends from past parties. We hope to be at future get togethers…we are also looking forward to some of the private parties you will be having later this year!!

What is “Swinging”?

Put in its simplest form, “swinging” is enjoying consensual sexual experiences with people other than your regular partner. Most people, who swing and are part of a couple, do so with the full knowledge, consent and, usually the participation of, their partner. Within this, however, there is a broad spectrum of activities. For some, swinging forms a big part of their life, for others it is an occasional “treat”. Some people enjoy a wide variety of swinging partners; others form longstanding relationships with one couple. For some, swingers “anything goes”, while others confine themselves to limited experiences that they enjoy, for example girls exploring their bisexuality together whilst the partners simply watch.

There are swinging clubs, swinging saunas, swinging holiday resorts, private or business-run parties, individual relationships, internet communities and chat rooms. Some people involved in the swinging community don’t actively participate but like to exchange ideas and fantasies to enhance their private lives.

Although these sorts of activities and this sort of lifestyle are most commonly referred to as “swinging”, you will come across many different terms for them. Some people dislike the terms “swinging” and “swingers” and alternatives used or suggested include “the scene” or “the Lifestyle”.

Is Swinging for us/me?

There are millions of people who enjoy the lifestyle and find that it enhances their sex lives with their partners. Swinging can add variety, excitement, allow you to explore other sides of your sexuality, be a way of meeting new and interesting people, provide inspiration for your fantasies and give you and your partner fabulous experiences on which you can draw in your private sex life together.

The main criterion for successful swinging is that you have no major problems in your relationship with your partner. Swinging will not solve an existing problem in your relationship and is unlikely to provide something that you feel is “missing” from your sex life. If this sounds like you, sort out the problems first before getting involved in the lifestyle. Another recipe for disaster is where one person coerces their partner to get involved against his or her wishes. People who get involved in the Lifestyle for these reasons usually find that it quickens the decline of their relationship rather than improves it.

If you have a solid relationship and you are both keen to try new things with sexy new playmates, then swinging may well be for you. Do explore the issues that might arise with your partner before rushing in. For example, is your self-esteem high enough to avoid destructive feelings of jealousy if your partner is openly attracted to, and maybe making love with, another attractive person? Would you be willing to call a halt to something that was making your partner feel uncomfortable? Finally, keep open the lines of communication with your partner as you experience new things to ensure that you are both happy about the way things are going.

How to meet swingers

There are many different ways of meeting potential swinging partners and people’s approaches vary. One of the most popular is to place an advertisement or creating a profile on a specialist site like SDC, also see Placing an online dating ad. You can also advertise in newspapers and specialist magazines. There are also various social events, swinging parties and swinging clubs (organised privately or as a business) and these are advertised by specialist websites and magazines. They range from purely social occasions such as these Loungeparties Socials to full-on action play parties. Be reassured though that, in swinging circles, the etiquette that “no means no” is widely adhered to and it is very unlikely that someone will try to pressure you into doing anything with which you are not comfortable.

You will find mainly established male/female couples on the swinging scene. It is more common to find couples comprising a straight guy and a bisexual girl than a totally bisexual or heterosexual couple. There are quite a few single men looking for group experiences and fewer single girls. You may also find two or more couples with a regular swinging relationship who are looking for others to join in.

Placing an online dating ad

Placing an ad (or replying to one) in a specialist Personals area of a website can be a great way to meet people who might interest you as potential swinging partners. In general, the more information you can give about yourselves, the more likely you are to get replies from people who suit you.

Suggested topics for inclusion in your personal ad are: your ages and physical descriptions; if you are a couple, your relationship with each other; where you are located; the distance you are willing to travel and/or whether you could accommodate potential swinging partners; your sexual orientation; your level of swinging experience; and, critically, what sort of experiences are you looking for and what you do not want e.g. “couples only”, “full swap”, see Online dating abbreviations. The ubiquitous “sexy fun” is so vague that it is not particularly helpful.

Many people find it very useful to include a photograph of each person advertising. This has the following advantages: you are likely to get more people looking at your ad; the replies you get are likely to be more similar to you in standard of looks; and you are then in a better position to ask for photographs in return from those responding to your advertisement. You may find that posting and requesting normal, clothed pictures in regular situations work best. Also see Weeding out the timewasters below.

One of the downsides of placing a personal ad is that it is likely that only a small proportion of those that reply will interest you. Some who reply will even have ignored totally what you have said you want, it seems that a large number of guys do not understand the phrase “No Single Men”… It does also mean that you will be putting your personal information and intentions in a public domain, see Friends, family and privacy below.

Online dating abbreviations

Common abbreviations and terms you will come across are:

• bi: bisexual
• str8: straight
• asl: age, sex and location
• mmf, “mff”, “mmff” etc: different combinations of male and female to describe group sex activities
• Same room/separate room: Both couples play in the same room (common) or when couples swap partners and have fun in different rooms.
• Soft Swinging: This is the opposite of a “full swap” (see below). It usually means that there will be non-penetrative foreplay and/or girl-on-girl sex all together but that each couple will only have full sex with their own partner (either in front of the others or alone)
• Full Swap: This is where each person has full penetrative sex with the other’s partner
• Hardened Swingers: Hardened Swingers, generally means experienced swingers, but often used as a negative, eg “we aren’t hardened swingers”
• S&M Sadomasochism. This can range from light bondage to extreme pain so it is best to specify which you are into!
• Polyamory or poly” relationships: Generally having a loving relationship with more than one person but might also be a regular foursome between two couples.

Weeding out the timewasters

As with any other relationship with new people, everything is based on the trust between you. There are things that you can do to help to reassure you however. Generally, the more contact you have had with potential swinging partners before you meet, the more likely you are to work out if they are not who they say they are.

Emails, telephone calls, chatting online and exchanging pictures all help although none give any guarantees. Be wary, in particular, of: only the man in a “couple” making contact with you and not giving you the opportunity to speak to or see his partner; inconsistent personal details; and photos which may have been stolen or doctored. It can be very helpful to exchange pictures of the couple together in normal situations e.g. on holiday, at home (these are not as easy to fake as sexy pics that could have been stolen from the net). Even better can be chatting on a messenger service with a webcam each. Most swingers will also be more than happy to meet socially in a public place such as a pub before taking things further – after all, they will have the same concerns about you! Finally, you can meet a range of couples socially with no pressure at events such as the “Socials” arranged by Loungeparties (see “How do I meet people to swing with?”, above).

I’m new, what will be expected of me?

It is extremely unlikely that you will be pressured into doing anything with which you are not comfortable. Make your feelings and expectations known to potential swinging partners and the overwhelming majority will accept them with no questions asked and without putting pressure on you. Of course, it helps enormously if you are clear in your own mind where you would like to set your personal boundaries. You should also have a clear understanding of what your partner feels about what he or she would like to do and what he or she would be comfortable with you doing! Some couples even have special signs or code words to use in swinging situations to tell each other whether or not they are comfortable with something.

I feel confused about my feelings, is this normal?

It’s not unheard of, especially in the early days in a new lifestyle such as this, to feel nervous or confused. Don’t beat yourself up over it! The sorts of emotions that arise are very similar to those that you would experience as a single person meeting a potential new partner and getting to know them. Also, you will have the added complication of more people involved and that you are experiencing these things, in most cases, as a couple. Remember also that you may become intimate sexually quite quickly with people that you don’t know terribly well in other respects. It is to be expected that, at least at first, you will have to deal with issues such as jealousy, fear of rejection, self-doubt, questioning yourself and others and swinging is bound to bring up questions about your existing relationship that had not previously occurred to you. However, if you have good self-esteem and a healthy, open relationship with your partner, you will deal with any of these negative feelings successfully and you will probably find that your relationships with yourself and your partner are enhanced.

Turning down advances

This can be a tricky issue, especially if you have come to like someone and do not want to hurt his or her feelings. The best approach is to be open and honest whilst remaining tactful and respectful of their feelings. Let’s face it, we all like different types of people and are looking for different types of experiences. If you know that to tell someone the truth would hurt their feelings, it is quite easy to avoid putting them down by citing practical difficulties like the lack of time in your schedule or geographical distance.

The flip side to this is: don’t take it personally if someone doesn’t want to take things further with you. You may be simply not their “type” although you would be perfect for someone else. There may even be issues in their relationships or lives that prevent them moving forward but of which you are unaware. Keep looking, and when you find other swingers more compatible with you, you are sure to have better experiences.

Friends, family and privacy

Some swingers are completely open about their lifestyle with non-swinging people that they know and say that their views and experiences are usually met with interest and fascination rather than disgust. Others, however, would prefer to keep this part of their life separate and don’t want, for whatever reason, people outside of the swinging community to know that they are part of it. This is an entirely personal decision and, if you let people know that you would like to be discreet, they will almost always fully respect that.

Obviously, if you are using the Internet, for example to post a personal ad and/or pictures of yourself, you will be putting personal information about you and your sexual activities into a reasonably public domain. We don’t imagine though that many people who are not swingers or actively considering the lifestyle are paying to join swingers site!

There are also steps you can take to protect your privacy, such as restricting those to whom you give access to your photos, or even using different names until you have come to trust someone.

What should we expect at a Loungeparty?

Loungeparties events can be divided into two main formats:

“Socials” Our socials are held in bars and other public venues where sexual contact is not appropriate. This is an opportunity for you to socialise with other Loungeparty guests. In order to attend, you must have applied with photos and received an invitation. If you would like to bring friends they too have to follow the same process, this is for the security of the whole group.

The size of the socials vary depending on the location, the typical would be about 60 guests, mostly couples with 2 – 4 single women. They are held on both week and weekend evenings, typically from 7ish to whenever the bar closes. Occasionally we have had official After Parties but this is not the norm, however, it’s quite possible some couples get together for a little party of their own.

Food is often available at the locations in which a social is held, we will include relevant details with the event invitation.
There is usually a small charge for a social, payable in advance.

“Play Parties” Play parties are held at a private location, usually luxury apartments. To attend one has to be on the guest list and receive a party invitation.

Play parties usually start out with a couple of hours of socialising and flirting over a few drinks after which foursomes or small groups pair off and head for the bedrooms to explore sexually. Noone is pressured to take part, however, and you may choose not to “play” or to play only with your own partner and simply enjoy the erotic environment subject to a few common-sense rules set out below.

For your security, venue details will only be available to those on the guest list and, to those who have paid their contribution. Our rules and etiquette apply to other events organised by or through Loungeparties to the extent appropriate.

Food is not provided at Loungeparties play parties and you are advised to have a light meal before you arrive.

What should we wear/bring to a Loungeparty?

Show that you have made an effort and try to look sexy, if it’s a social your dress should be appropriate for a public venue.

At a play party, anything goes and clothes usually get discarded to some extent during the evening! One can dress as raunchy as they like, arriving and changing is perfectly acceptable as is changing through the course of the evening.

Our play parties always start with a champagne reception and there are usually a few other drinks on offer however we suggest guests bring a bottle, mixes will be available.

You will not need cash at a play party and, for security, are advised not to bring unnecessarily large amounts. We provide condoms but you are advised also to carry your own for convenience and particularly if you have particular requirements or tastes. You are welcome to bring your sex toys and guests will be responsible for your own possessions.

Common-sense Rules and Etiquette

• Always treat other guests with respect.
• No means no. Please be polite if you don’t want to play with someone. On the flip side, don’t take a refusal personally.
• Know your own boundaries and those of your partner (if any) before you attend.
• Respect the boundaries of others.
• Soft swap/ full swap/ oral sex/ girl-girl and group activity are all common. Less common but still acceptable is anal sex or men exploring their bi-sexuality. It is up to you and your partner whether or not you play together.
• Do not assume that, because someone is playing, you are automatically invited to join in. Wait for an invitation either explicitly or by a positive response to you making minor contact. (Stroking someone’s arm or leg is often a good way to show that you are interested in joining in without risking offence).
• Due to the nature and size of our venues, we cannot guarantee privacy. If you play, you will need to be comfortable with others watching.
• Please be aware that, while the majority of female Loungeparties guests are bi-sexual, some are straight. Don’t take anything for granted.
• Do not worry about not being able to get, or losing, erections. This is a very common situation (and there may be increased “performance anxiety” at a swinger party). Everyone has experienced this and understands it.
• Don’t drink so much that you are offensive or unable to enjoy the experience.
• Mobile phones should be turned off, or left at home. If the phone must be used please use it outside.
• Treat the venue as you would your home.
• No cameras.

Safe Sex

Safe sex is practised without prompting and condoms are used unless specifically agreed by those taking part (long term/polyamorous partners).

Smoking Policy

All events are non smoking, however we try provide a smoking area whenever possible.

Single men

Loungeparties does not cater to single men. We are unique in that we are strictly couples and single females only. The reasoning behind this is because most genuine swinging couples are looking for others similar to themselves, along with the occasional single woman.

Men can only attend events accompanied by the partner they applied with. Bringing a stand-in date is not what Loungeparties is about and is unacceptable.

Loungeparties offers a range of different events such as:

• Socials
• Swinging Parties

• Vetting
• Single men policy

Socials

Loungeparties started in 2002 and was the first organisation to host “swinging socials”, relaxed evenings out to meet and flirt with other couples and single girls.

The idea being to meet and socialise with similar couples into swinging and group sex in a relaxed no pressure environment, usually a private bar. Full on play parties can be a little intimidating, especially for first timers but with socials couples meet others in a relaxed no pressure environment. Its also great to network and hear about other clubs, sites and possibly get invited to a private party hosted by other guests.

Loungeparties socials are a great way to make new friends with other attractive, educated, open-minded professionals. Many lifelong friendships extending beyond casual sex started at a Loungeparties social.

Swinging Parties

Loungeparties swinging parties are held luxury apartments in and around London. Typically play parties start at around 9pm with a champagne reception where guests will mingle for a couple of hours. Even if one hasn’t been before everyone is very friendly and welcoming, we can all remember our first parties and know what it feels like.

After a few drinks and some flirting guests start paring off and head for the bedrooms. What goes on is up to those involved, women are always in control and a subtle gesture is all that’s required to fend off any unwanted advances.

Our parties always sell out well in advance so it’s recommended to book early. Once one is on the guest list it’s a mostly a matter of first come first served however this might be skewed a little to allow first timers a chance.

Open Source Parties

Loungeparties guests have befitted greatly from the community spirit. We have always encouraged and welcomed our membership to get involved. This has lead to some interesting parties that we wouldn’t have conceived on our own such as pool party weekends in nice houses in the country, weekend getaways, themed parties etc.

We wholeheartedly encourage this and welcome guests to get involved with co hosting or hosting Loungeparties events.. For further information please get in touch.

Masquerade Balls

We have co hosted a couple of exotic Masquerade Balls in stately homes which were fantastic and would love to do more. However to do it to desired standards takes a huge amount of effort, a bit like planning a wedding with the additional challenge of keeping it private. We know there is a desire for the parties and as soon as an opportunity presents itself loungeparties will host another one.

Exclusivity, age, vetting and no single men

All our events are totally exclusive, only applications that have been accepted will be will be added to the guest list and invited to attend Loungeparties events.

Age
Loungeparties started with a 35 and under rule but we found the limit a bit arbitrary, it incentives those on the cusp to lie and there are some great looking super fit 40+ men/women out there. So Loungeparties no longer has an upper age limit.

Saying that we understand that there are many who prefer to mix amongst their own age group so the new application form asks for preferable guest age. Depending on the data we may host a few special events to satisfy the demographics.

Vetting
Loungeparties is primarily aimed at attractive, professional couples and the majority of couples prefer to play with couples more or less like themselves, along with single bisexual women.

We understand everyone’s time is precious and filtering at the early stage goes a long way to ensure everyone enjoys great parties.

No Single Men
While we can sympathise with single men wanting to attend a swinging party it’s not what most of our guests are looking for so Loungeparties has always had a strict no single men policy. Our parties aim to provide a relaxed fun no pressure atmosphere for couples and single women.
