Looking to try something new? Looking to add some spice to your life and give you and your partner something new to talk about. Looking for an excuse to go out and meet interesting people. Well so was the Doctor and his favorite nurse. After going to Luxuria and meeting a lot of cool people, recurring questions came up. Are you on SDC? Can we get a hold of you on SDC? What’s your handle on SDC? After a blank stare feeling like I should know what they are talking about but not, I asked what is SDC? The response was Swingers Date Club. Oh, haven’t had the pleasure was my response, but it sounds like something I should look into. So I checked it out and I was amazed with what I found. I suspected that such a resource existed for hooking up “like minded” singles and couples, but where do you start with such a swarm of dating clubs and adult chat rooms.
After coming home from a party, a quick search on the Internet located Swingers Date Club. SDC is a well thought out site. It starts out new members (free trial membership) by setting up a profile, that allows singles and couples to reveal their sexual preferences, pictures (optional, but must have if you want someone to respond), fantasies, vital stats, and what you are looking for. Take care in putting your profile together as it is really your advertisement and the better it is put together the higher quality the responses. Profiles can also include audio and video if you want to add an extra special touch. Once your profile is complete, you’ll get to see the other member profiles. If you only have a trial membership, certain profiles may be blocked from you as more serious members may not want their pictures shown to just anyone. A lifetime membership is around $100. The first thing you will notice if you are near any major center is that there are many other couples and singles looking to have fun with someone like you. I was surprised at how many good looking couples are enjoying the lifestyle in the Atlanta area. Other popular areas appear to be Miami, Dallas, and New York, but there are members from everywhere.
If you are a new member and have a decent profile and you keep yourself in reasonable shape (and your pictures reflect that) expect to have several members express interest in you. Members can contact each other in 4 ways. The first is by expressing interest in your profile (1 to 3 stars with 1 being nice profile maybe…, 2 being great profile I like…, 3 being love profile definitely). Members can check their Who Likes Me menu item to see who has expressed interest. If you like their profile as well, you can rate them or move it to the next level – an e-mail. SDC has an internal e-mail system. The next way members can meet each other is through instant messaging chat. Not everyone has this turned on, but if you want to talk with someone using it look for the IM icon on their profile. The final way to meet people on SDC is through the live group chat where there are always couples online.
Want to know if a couple is for real? SDC has a member driven validation system. Couples that have successfully hooked up will try to validate one another. A validation is a certification from another member that they have met a member and that the member is who they say they are. There will usually be other short comments on what they liked about the other member. So once you meet them online, how hard is it to actually hook-up? It is really hit and miss, some like to chat and send e-mails and it will never progress beyond that. Some will meet you, but this is where it gets tricky if it is two couples then everyone really needs to like each other or nothing will happen. Then there is always the awkward part about progressing from dinner and drinks to intimate play. It appears that some couples will be aggressive and suggest they head back to someone’s place and party. Then there is the case where two passive couples hook-up and either side is waiting for the other side to make the first move and it never progresses beyond drinks and conversation. My suggestion here is determine this before meeting so that there is a clear and easy way to decide if things should progress to the next level. Also have a non-obvious signal with your partner to let them know if you are not interested in taking things to the next level. If you are a passive couple, it may be a good idea to put that in your profile, so that others know what to expect.
Interested in lifestyle events? As a member of SDC, you’ll get plenty of opportunities to participate in local events and parties. SDC holds member get togethers at local swinger clubs. SDC also hosts swinging vacations at resorts like Hedonism. This is also one of the biggest reason to join as often there will be SDC nights at local swing clubs like Trapeze Atlanta where you can get in once a month for about 1/2 price or better. Sometimes it will even include a 3 month membership or renewal at less then the cost of one nights usage.
If you are interested in Swinging or expanding your intimate behavior, then SDC is a great site as it will expose you to a large group of like minded singles and couples. Most women are bi-sexual, most men are straight. There are single females and single males, however the preference by most couples are for single females and other couples. Single males will have slim pickings, but there are opportunities if you are patient. If you are just getting started in this, make sure you play it safe as you never know what you will run into. Make sure you use some protection as you will be indirectly sleeping with everyone the other members have slept with and you don’t want to have to explain to relatives how you caught something… Oh yeah, if you like toys (and chances are you do since you are at this site), then there is a profile slot for toy play. Enjoy.
