It was in Fort Lauderdale, FL, about 14 years ago.

Cost me and my date $100/each to get in.

Once there we found people lounging around in a series of very dark rooms, mostly ignoring each other and doing little else except trying to see what anyone else was doing.

The food was pretty mediocre.

There was a dance floor with some gals dancing topless that was interesting for a bit, but after a while me and my date looked at each other and said:  "Let's go home and fuck."

And we did.

Thank you to everyone that PM'd me!!!

I truly appreciate your great feedback and of course didn't know how else to find out unless I just asked. Checking my emails this AM, I am surprised by how many responses I have received. A lot with really great stories! Thank you for getting in touch with me and offering to share something you so privately practice(d).  
Have a very happy Wednesday!

Kisses,

Plato's Retreat,  when it was new and when it was totally hetero.  Thank you for sparking the memory of it all.  Too many to write . . .But in those halycon days of carefree unprotected sex . . . .

wanted to go to one. It's a little intimidating though.

Yes

I went with a boyfriend.  It was a lot of fun!  Went skinny dipping in the pool,  got spanked by 5 or six people and had great sex!  One thing I did notice though, everyone was either extremely attractive (like 9-10 ratings) or not attractive at all (old, really over weight).  We were kind of in the middle so a lot of interest from the unattractive crowd but little interest from the model (lots of brazilians there) crowd.

but the one i went to was on a functional farm.  and they had a fantastic hot bar.  one time i was piling some pot roast onto my plate and the chef informed me that the cow had been killed ON the premises... not in the club, but on the farm on which the club sits.  does it get any better than that?!  i'd pay the $10 single female entry fee just to eat the amazing home-cooked home-grown food and chill in the hot tub.

You get to see what everyone looks like before

...way back in the day, later renamed "The Vault".  Sort of an S&M swing club.  As others have recounted about other places, kinda overrated--lotsa little dark areas, some BDSM toys and stuff around (St Andrew's Cross, etc)..but also a lot of disgusting semi-homeless dirty old men wandering around with their dicks in their hands, waiting for some action to break out someplace so they could watch and whack off to it.

The secret of the place was that if you were judged to be "real" (actual players--it helped to be a couple, or at least a hot chick--single men who were unescorted couldn't possibly hope to be seen as "real"), you were invited by the owners of the place to come back at other times of the day or week, and go to the upper floors of the building, where the real playspaces were located, and where a lot more actual play and actual partner-swapping occurred.

Oh, the good old pre-HIV days....

I use to go every weekend before I started escorting
