A little advice please on Le Chambre in Sheffield

15 Mar 2005

We are new to this scene and are after a little bit of advice from anyone who can give it.
We were at LeChambre on Saturday and had a really good time without actual swapping.
We did not notice anyone using condoms. Was this because they were not being used or was it because we wern't looking closely enough?
Should we simply ask people when we talk to them that we want to use protection or is it expected or not?
Also is there any paticular rooms in LeChambre for certain types or age groups.
We will be looking to go again in a week or two and hopefully do a full swing and I know we can ask when we get there but we would just like to here from some of the reugulars.
Many Thanks

Take your own and if it looks like you are going to play then just hand them over... they will get the message and if they dont want to put it on, then dont play.
Rooms for different ages/types, no... just different themes.
The not using condoms is eather because some players use the venue to play with people they know, others because they dont want to use them, others because they never thought to bring any and others are using them, just not that obvious.
I think its a great shame that some of the profit isnt used in swinging clubs to provide free condoms in the same way it is with quite a few gay clubs, some swingers clubs even charge stupidly over inflated prices for single condoms confused

As very regular club users we have seen people playing without condoms but often this is people playing with their own partner. People swapping without condoms does happen but is much rarer. Insist on condoms if this is what you want ... in our opinion, anyone who plays without is taking an unjustifiable risk. The club we use the most does provide free condoms, but we see that as a bonus, there is no excuse for people not taking their own.

And they are FREE from the FPC! No excuses for not having them, eh?

er, hold on...the couple should be handing the condoms out to the guy??? Surely if the guys don't have condoms then they deserve to be left out of the loop for their inconsiderate and presumptuous attitude. If they come unprepared this time, penny to a pound they will have been unprepared before, and might have thought that they have "gotten away with it", so what guarantee of personal hygiene there?
Nah, if the guy hasn't got his flexible friend with him, he doesn't deserve what he won't get. Now that's the best way to teach them a lesson. Surely...or not...one or the other...???

Once again Thanks for the replys we simply needed reassuring that practicing safe sex was the norm rather then the exception we will be going back easter weekend to fuck like rabbits.
Thanks

I would rather watch my wife takeing it without a condom. I love the idea of seeing her pussy filled with another man's squirter.

Oh for crying out loud ..... where's a mod when you need one?

you beat me to it Callista

Thanks for all the replys I think we are now confident about how we will proceed.
I believe this thread may descend into a bit of an arguement which is fine by me because I have found out what I needed to know and perhaps some people wish to debate the use of condoms.
There are lots of genuine people on this site and there are lots of other people aswell. We are extremely open minded and live and let Live is our attitude I have no problem with people not using protection if that is what suits them but it is not for us at this stage and I carn't really see it being an option in the future without expecting to receive some STD or other which is not an exciting thought.
Once again thanks alot for all the advice

when i first started to go to clubs i was surprised by the lack of condom use.
we always use condoms when we play (though not with each other) and just take it for granted that other people feel the same.
if someone did not want to use one with either of us.. then they would have lost out on the chance as there is nothing worth taking the risk for.

We only play with condoms in swinging situations. However, if it's just us two at the club then we don't use a condom together, I wonder if this is observed as us being non condom users?

you have a point there... i remember being at a party in a room.. there was the two of us.. and another couple but we were playing with our own partners only.
some nameless self righteous person came in and remarked... "not one of you is using a condom.. eurgh".
not feeling the need to explain ourselves we ignored her.. but it goes to show how people can make assumptions.

We have been swinging for a few years now and to be honest we have rarely seen condoms used but to be fair most of the time people tend to save penetration for thier own partners.

We are regular visitors at LC. our own experience is that most swapping is with condoms, although occasionally, some don't use them. Take your own and have them to hand, rather then left in your clothes at theother side of the room!
M tends to tuck a couple in the top of her hold-ups andif she likes a guy, she'll hand him one!
Advice on rooms..................avoid the dark "Manhatten" room at first, you simply don't know who's touching you!
As previously said by someone else, some clubs provide condoms in the rooms....Liberation for example.
LC does have a condom machine, but me thinks they should be giving them away

Not where I go...there condoms are the norm, as any of the single guys who do the post-party "litter patrol" will testify.
Only thing is, I wish that once a condom is used, it is disposed of more respectfully to the owner of the place in which they are used. Wherever I have been; i.e. clubs, parties, etc, I've found them under pillows, in a bed, on seats, all over the floor, on table tops next to food and drinks, you name it, they are there. If there is ample tissue paper, and plenty of bins about, then why can't people do the "decent thing" when disposing of them? Are we British really such a disgusting race that we think it is funny to hide used condoms where they could squelch out on the next person that sits / lies / presses on them??? I never saw anything like this on my visits to swingers clubs and parties in Spain or Germany.
