INTRODUCTION:
Now that being in an open relationship is a lot more accepted, the doors have blown wide open for the types of swinging experiences that you can have. Sure you can still attend the now traditional sex clubs, which cater to a heteronormative audience where people just swap partners on couches in the back area of a club. But more alternative opportunities are opening up, and youngish people (and some just young at heart) are incorporating a lot of education, awareness and the LGBTQ community in general.
It should be no surprise that New York is at the forefront of these changes. Now let's be clear, of course the most basic and direct goal is for everyone to be able to get their rocks off at a fun get-together in Brooklyn, but the House of Scorpio is committed to offering a lot more for the swinging and pansexual community of the city.

ABOUT:
House of Scorpio is located in central Brooklyn, and it definitely tries to do many thing in the world of modern sexuality. Not just a sex club (in fact, it barely uses that term, instead using 'play party' to describe events), but also an education and culture centre when it comes to sexuality in general.
As this is the 21st century, you are going to start on their website, and absorb a tremendous amount of helpful information that shows how committed they are to offering a sex-positive experience for everyone, not just straight people. At their pansexual Lip-Service Parties, you should be expected to maybe get a little touchy-feely with some people who are the same sex as yourself, or someone who is queer or trans (and as the site says, if that's not your thing, please don't attend this particular event). Not every event is set up like this, and certainly consent and comfort is at the heart of their ethos (which they've taken from the Kinky Salon) but House of Scorpio wants to be known as a place where everyone in the community can have some fun. This also means its essential that you under stand the PAL system, which means no one comes to these events alone (excluding classes), and you are responsible for your partner's behaviour at the event and vice-versa, and you leave together.
There are five levels of membership available, ranging from $5 to $55 per month, and the more you pay, the more money the event tickets are discounted by. That means that an event which could cost $50 for a guest in good standing could be up to half price off for you. Clearly, the membership plan you choose should be based on how many events (including classes) you think you'll be able to attend.
