I had always thought this was an interesting subject. Perhaps because it's foreign to me and curiosity rules my brain. Swingers Clubs can fall under our heading of The Underbelly of Evansville because it's out of the mainstream and only meant for the select few making it a sub-culture. Personally, while it's not my cup of tea, I'm not opposed to others enjoying the idea of partner swapping and having open sex in a room full of people.

I went on Facebook and asked people to message me if they had an experience with Swingers Clubs and I got 7 responses, 6 females and one male.  They will all be anonymous, of course.

Here's a direct and revealing quote from a gal I heard from.

When we first became a swinger, of course we found out about clubs through swinger friends. Sadly 201 on Division St closed down several years ago. That place for couples and ladies only. No single men allowed. You have to be a membership which is expensive. Last time I remember. Paid 40 dollar membership for year and paid 40 dollar to get in and it was byob cuz they provide buffet. They do everything swapping and private room and dancing and meet n greet. Some do f***ing and making out in open. Our favorite club is in Owensboro Meet n Greet. Anyone are welcome even single men. No membership at all. 20 for couple, 20 for single men and 15 for single females and byob and being potluck for 5 dollar off. They are awesome and great people. Nothing fancy as 201. We used to go there a lot. There is another one Club Escapades in Owensville, In. Same price and same rules as meet n greet. But older people there. Been there once. Never again haha. I haven't been to club in Nashville which we heard a lot great about it.

There's a couple of conflicting statements from the people I talked to as to whether Some of these clubs are still open or not.   Here's more info from another local female that reached out to me.

My husband and I made an account on Swinglifestyle and searched for clubs that way. There was one in Owensville which is about 15 minutes from us.it closed down several years ago, the owner and his wife were going through a difficult time and couldn't hold it together.  They had put up walls and had made makeshift rooms. You had to "reserve" a room on the night of the party (once a month) and it didn't cost extra. Single ladies were admitted but only single men that were brought in by a couple who were members
Then if he was a good fit he was welcome to come back. Of course "hooking up" with someone was a little like dating.

Then, some more info from the lone fella who contacted me.

There are clubs in Evansville. Louisville. Clarksville, Nashville plus a couple around Indy, Also there are hotel take overs where a group will rent the whole hotel for the weekend..
Although it's not stated in clubs , open Nudity and inter course does happen. Nudity in the common area and rooms in the hotel. If single males are allowed it's a inflated price. Most have a carry in discount of food or drinks. Different clubs have different rules as singles. Couples get in at a fee. Single women get in at a discount. In my opinion, I wouldn't go the first time alone or with out someone that goes and you get to know a little first.

There is a website that bares a bit more info here, but you have to join, providing your name and e-mail address to access the full website. I did not sign up.

So I think what can be gleaned from this edition of The Underbelly of Evansville, is while very private and secretive, Swingers Clubs have and do exist in our immediate area.  Open sex, partner swapping and the things you've read previous in this blog do take place at these parties. Personally I'd be a bit inhibited if I were to go to a Swingers Club.  I'm a pretty private person, but not to be punny, "Different Strokes For Different Folks?
