I went to see Queen & Paul Rogers at the Brixton Academy, and they were fantastic (although I'm probably biased, being a lifelong Queen fan). They performed most of the favourites, plus a few Paul Rogers songs too.
Paul Rogers was good on vocals, although with literally everyone in the audience singing along to the songs, it was hard to hear him! Brian May was brilliant on guitar, how he can get such awesome sounds out of it I don't know. My favourite of the night was him singing and performing Love of My Life.
It will be interesting to see how they come across at a big open air gig like Hyde Park, but at Brixton they were great.
Only down side - the price. 55 quid! ouch!
I agree with Andy, I've had some great times at The Office over the last few weeks. Everyone is very relaxed and friendly, and Sonia & Simon do their best to make you feel welcome.
They've put a lot of work into the place over the last few months, building new playrooms and putting some interesting contraptions into the dungeon! Looking forward to seeing the rotating bed in action!

Saturdays is couples night plus limited singles at The Office. Single guys are limited to about 5 or 6, and must book in advance. Generally they only tend to let in ones they already know and trust. Saturdays can get quite busy with the number of couples. Most people that go seem to have a good time, although it is as much about making friendships than anything else. I think some people there swap phone numbers and arrange to meet and play at each others houses rather than at The Office itself - although some couples obviously do play there too.
Fridays is a more "greedy girls" type of night where the couples that come along want the attention of several single guys. Still, it is not a free for all - you must be friendly and courteous, get chatting to a couple and they may invite you to play, but if not then no still means no.

Well, I went dogging for the very first time last night at a well known location near Bath, with a great deal of trepidation I might add ! After reading all the comments on here I expected to see hoards of guys wanking and shining their main beams everywhere.
In fact, everyone was very well behaved, I didn't see one headlight on main beam, there was a guy chatting to a couple through their window, and a few other guys a respectful distance away just minding their own business. Nobody seemed to be staring at anyone. I decided to wait and the rest of the single guys left, but a couple remained. After all the comments about guys staying in their cars I decided to get out and stand next to my car, but wait for some sign (interior light ?) to be invited over. No sign came, but I wasn't really expecting much from my first visit, just to see what it was all about really. I guess maybe most of the fun had already happened before I arrived.
In short, I found the experience a bit strange, but not as scary as I thought it would be, so I may be back again soon. One thing I did find odd was the amount of cars that drove into the car park and then drove straight out again - I guess they thought it was too quiet.

Hi,
It might help to say what kind of people you are looking to meet - are you male, female or a couple ? Are you looking to meet another couple, or single fem ? Bi, straight ? Daytime meets or evenings, weekends ?
A little information can go a long way.
Good luck in finding what you are after.

The first few times I saw a porn movie, when I was a spotty teenager in the '80s, I was shocked and amazed, and of course very turned on by it. It was new and exciting to see people having sex, the visual aspects of it. The more porn I saw though, the more I realised that the women were obviously getting nothing out of the experience (apart from the money of course), and that is a big turn off for me.
What turns me on now is seeing people genuinely aroused and experiencing pleasure, especially seeing a woman orgasm. If mainstream porn movie directors put more foreplay into the scenes, told the actors to really go for it and give the girls the time to get aroused and excited, it would certainly make for more exciting viewing. However I guess it would take longer to film, and maybe the porn actresses don't want to get sexually excited in the films but rather save it for their private life?
True, the scene in Bristol seems a bit thin compared to all that seems to be happening up north. Still, I've been to The Office a few times and had some good experiences there, although sometimes it is a bit quiet. Sometimes quiet is better tho, if you meet the right people.
I heard the Clink moved to Newport, and they still hold parties, but only every couple of months.
I am one of the "bristol ganbang lot" and any new guy that wants to come along, we are all friendly easy going guys and not really a set group, there are always one or two new people each time we have a party. It is true that, as a gangbang group, it is not the same as true swinging, but there is talk of having a party with 2 or 3 couples as well as the guys. If a couple wants to take part in a party, just contact Rob at the group. All no fees events, btw.
All that said, yes I agree that Bristol is a bit quiet, and I sometimes pop up to Birmingham where there is more going in the club scene.
Hi Jane and Paul,
I'm certainly interested in attending your party! I'm a 32 yr old single guy from Bristol, reasonably slim and fit, and have some limited experience of swinging parties before. I enjoy meeting new people, and would definitely class myself as someone who likes to take part, although watching can be fun too whilst taking a break from the action!
I can do any Saturday in the next few weeks apart from the 28th August.
Look forward to hearing from you soon!
Dave.
Well, for swingers clubs there is "The Office" in Bristol (see the Clubs and Parties section), which is open on Friday and Saturday nights.
I've never been dogging, but Togg Hill near Bath seems to be a place that gets a lot of mentions.

Hi all,
One thing that I used to love doing with my now ex g/f was for us to sit opposite each other and masturbate whilst watching the other person. Seeing the one you love experiencing such a state of arousal and pleasure was just so exciting for me. Trying to delay the inevitable climax for as long as possible, the levels of pleasure you can reach are amazing!
I was wondering how many other people find this as much a turn on as me, and do this as part of their sex play. Also, I've heard of a masturbation club in the USA where everyone sits around and watches each other. What a fantastic idea! It's a shame someone hasn't organised something like that in this country (or have they ??).

Hi all, new to this forum.
I've taken part in a couple of gangbangs in Bristol recently, all no-fees totally for fun only. Organised by a guy called Rob, he has his own group called "bristolgangbangs", you might want to check it out.
Here's the link (if I am allowed to post it?)
