@NC2021 it's not the club itself that I find shocking, it's the way they are happy to be filmed. And it does make you think "what if nobody wanted me?" and "what if someone kept trying to join in when they gave you the creeps?"

NC2021 · 24/08/2020 23:01

Yes I have NC! Yeah fairly accurate, I went to a night which was sort of BDSM theme
To be honest I felt safer there than most clubs, a (single) guy slapped my bum and was removed instantly

LightAsTheBreeze · 24/08/2020 23:02

Good Lord it’s like that programme that was on a few years ago, I think it was called ‘dogging tales’

RaininSummer · 24/08/2020 23:04

We still cackle about missing 'the golden age of dogging' in this household.

viques · 24/08/2020 23:06

And so boys and girls, the moral of that story is , if you fancy having rampant sex with total strangers at a swingers club don't take a camera crew with you..........

All I know is I will never be able to go to a buffet again and look a prawn ring in the face without sniggering.

RaininSummer · 24/08/2020 23:13

What channel is Swingers on. Need to have a laugh tommorow night.

NC2021 · 24/08/2020 23:15

Channel 4 Grin

avocuddl · 24/08/2020 23:16

I cannot believe they showed their faces and full on sex!! And they have children!! Imagine bumping into one of them tomorrow and it's your neighbour!! 😱

IKEA888 · 24/08/2020 23:16

I need.some sort of memory erase.
it was so bad I couldn't stop watching.

Heffalooomia · 24/08/2020 23:22

😳

Wasn't what I expected at all.

It didn't seem seedy. The staff and hotel owner seemed pleasant and balanced. Everything was clean and spick and span.

It's just that it didn't seem much fun. One couple trotted off to bed without hooking up, another couple were left sat in the hot tub looking very deflated. The first timers getting 'left out' was cringe. But the most cringe was the shagging 70 year old trying to get in on the act with a couple who clearly did not want her there. And they then went off and had sex in their chalet like ordinary bods.

It was hardly the orgy they all seemed to expect.

Just read this article in the Daily Star from back in February. Is this about the programme that was just made? It sounds like it was about a different place.

TheQueef · 25/08/2020 10:49

Anyone else get the vibe the glasses couple were just trying to be edgy?
Florist is a loon. something else for me to aim at

Fishyfinger · 25/08/2020 10:55

I started watching it but when DS (adult) came and sat with me I had to switch off. I'm no prude but yeah... 😂

I just don't understand how they didn't seem to care what their family, friends, nieghbours think of them. I would be mortified to have that on air and then nip on to the local shop or school pick up.

Good for them if that's what floats their boat.

Lalastepmum · 25/08/2020 11:18

I found the couple with glasses a bit immature and trying too hard. She gave me the impression of a teen who Is willing to do anything to get some sexual attention( reminded me of someone I went to school with actually). When she pulled out the dildo I just thought it’s not that kind of place. Didn’t like this couple at all.

The older lady I felt sorry for but I felt this for her was the way she could be in control of sexual
Experiences following years of trauma due to her gang rape.

The other couple I felt the woman was more up for it than the husband. And the couple they spoke to gave me the vibe the husband was more into this than his wife.

And the single two were very polite to the older lady and she did encourage them to go off on their own in the end. It’s an honest way of doing it both parties knew what they wanted.

However, they were all troubled souls and I felt the owner was right it can’t be used to fix things.

This is much safer than meeting total strangers and going back to their place and there is no pretence. Not for me but I respect there are people out there who are into this.

HollowTalk · 25/08/2020 11:34

The thing I couldn't understand was why the two young single people didn't just go out to a night club and cop off with someone. It would be interesting to know whether they met up again, but it didn't sound like it.

Ludo19 · 25/08/2020 11:46

My eyes.....my eyes!!

Frankiemintz · 25/08/2020 14:59

They advertised for people to be on the programme so the 2 single people were maybe looking for some publicity, particularly as the woman is a dancer.

Thecobwebsarewinning · 25/08/2020 16:27

I’ve just started watching this and the thing that has shocked me the most so far is that they are only washing the towels and sheets at 40 degrees. Given the action those beds see I’d expect a 60 degree minimum!

sunglassesonthetable · 25/08/2020 17:22

omg yess!! just what i thought!

60 min!

Auldspinster · 26/08/2020 18:09

More like 90⁰ and a thorough steam clean of the beds.

cherrybakewellll · 26/08/2020 22:19

They've all got deep rooted insecurity issues.

Siobahn (older lady) clearly messed up by being raped and trying to take the power back in the sexual sense but failing badly.

Justin and his wife with the moustache, just not into eachother but not willing to end things, clearly didn't get any action as the other 2 couples probably wondered if she had a penis too.

Malika the dancer trying to be alpha female is don't want a man' but her eyes say differently.

I can't unsee this and I'm off to find a therapist...

RaininSummer · 26/08/2020 23:21

Just watched it. Disturbing stuff as most of the people seemed messed up in some way. Can't believe that is supposed to be the premiere Swingers club as I did think the venue was very seedy and as far from a sexy environment as I can imagine. However further thought makes it obvious why it's all wipe clean rather than sumptuous velvets and furs. And 4 star hotel my arse.

Almost as sad and freaky as the dogging show which had such memorable dialogue as, 'touch my tit', 'no. I wanna go home'. Still they aren't hurting anyone other than themselves.

I agree with a lot of what you said

They all seemed broken in a way

Yes the older one had a very sad story

The one who got upset I felt like were there to fulfill a hole in her life but very obviously

purpleme12 · 27/08/2020 01:52

I'm not sure what he meant when he said they were vetted they came in though?
