INTRODUCTION:
When it comes to open relationships, there's probably no better place to be in one than in New York city, where you just naturally feel like you have the rest of the world to choose from (of course, your partner can feel the same way, but that's the nature of an open relationship in the first place). My partner and I first got into swinging through friends of ours, but they only seemed to do this with people they knew. When my partner and I took that leap to actually swing with strangers, we decided to do a bit of homework first.
We settled on trying Bowery Bliss, which was easy to get to since it's right near the subway station, but the easiness and relaxation keep going throughout the night, and for a couple of near-newbies in the world of sex club, we had a great time, and are sure you will, too.

ABOUT:
Like the name suggests, Bowery Bliss definitely gives you a New York spin on the sex club experience, as there's exposed brick for one of the walls. It's a good thing it's three floors, because that main entrance one gets packed quickly on a Friday or Saturday night. With the dance floor only being able to hold about twenty people if you really pack them in, it's easy to gravitate upwards, where are there's a bit more space and some private rooms and public beds, and the third floor is totally clothing optional.
You have to be a member to get in, but you can pay the $20 fee when you show up for the first time (but call ahead to let them know you're coming), and then pay the door donation, which can be between $60 to $120 per couple, depending on the night (usually more expensive during weekends). A good way to save money, though, is by bringing your own booze, since they don't serve any here. On our first visit, the staff was very courteous, and throughout the night you could tell that they were doing a great job at keeping the place clean.
Because it's the Big Apple on a Friday night, you can bet that the place will quickly get packed, and there around one hundred people there when we attended. It wasn't long before we started chatting with another couple and made our way to one of the rooms, but because it was occupied, we just moved up to the third floor and started going at it on one of the sofas. It's great when you can find a place this flexible.
