I find the idea of strangers meeting up for sexual interactions interesting. I’m not interested in partaking in any sexual interactions, rather I would like to get a feel for the scene and perhaps have conversations with participants. Of course I would be accepting of LGBTQ interactions, but would prefer to have at least some straight/female-male interactions involved. I live in a decently-sized city. How could I go about finding some locations where these meetups occur nearby?
Try finding a swingers club in your area. Just being in a decent size city just searching “city name swingers club” should yield decent results. Alternatively if you start browsing local swingers subreddits you might be able to find lesser known clubs or events like hotel takeovers. I have been a local club few times and haven’t participated much, but it is fun with the themes and skimpy clothing. As long as you aren’t an asshole, they are usually very accepting of you having fun letting your suppressed freak flag fly.
Side note, highly recommend taking the BDSM test before going just so you know what you are into in case it falls in your lap the first time you go. Or you know what terms/labels you want to avoid.
