Hi again, i told you i'd be asking questions......
For those who frequent the clubs in the Midlands area, Is x-tasia the best one to go for? any other you can recommend? I am part of a couple, and we are looking for a night where single men are invited.
Lots of people from here go to Chameleons. Why not give that a go. It looks good to me :thumbup:
yeah, maybe chamleons in the future, don't really fancy a sauna club for my first time!
I must have got the wrong end of the stick!
Thanks Steph, have you been to X-tasia?
ok, your changing my mind!! whats the crack up at chameleons?
Thanks for the info, some of the reviews were a little old and its helpful to know what your experiences of these places are.
Chameleona and Xtasia are both first rate clubs IMHO.
But to compare and say that one is better than the other is like saying that pineapples are tastier than mangos. Both are set out totally differently, offering a different mix of facilities and perhaps even cater for different generatons. That said, if you try both out, I'll bet you that you'll meet people at the second club that you go to that you first met at the first club you visited.
Whilst the managements of both clubs get on well with each other (and visit each others clubs on their days off) you do find that some people are rather "tribal" in their favouratism, wanting everyone to know who and why "their" club is best and why the other clubs are rubbish (I thought that sort of thing was exclusive to football clubs, but I have been proven wrong lol), but equally you get the people who will be regulars at one of the clubs on some nights of the week , and spend the other nighes at the other club.
Just my own observations, and others may disagree, but the disco / nightclub theme of Xtasia makes it more suitable and attractive to the 20's - mid 30's swingers (which doesn't prevent the young at heart 40+ year old's enjoying it as well), whereas the age-range in Chameleons tends to be on average 10 years older, perhaps because they have "grown out" of disco / nightclubs. Xtasia is perfect if you want to show-off, as all areas are visible to all. Nowhere to lock yourselves away in private (the Days Hotel is next door for that sort of thing)
Chameleons seems to have a big focus on the Jacuzzi, which usually attracts more people than it can accommodate (a second one is rumoured to be in the pipeline) and also it has lockable rooms. Unfortunately this tends to attract a lot of "boss / secretary" types in the early evenings who see the club as a cheap alternative to hotels, and who want nothing to do with real swinging. They tend to "hog" the rooms, but there are other rooms there as well. Chameleons is perfect if you are looking for single guys to play with, as there are usualy 50-60 there every Friday night.
The other alternative not mentioned yet is Liberations (in Lutterworth). It's an upper class swingers club, offering top class facilities with a select membership (all members are interviewed for suitablility before being granted a membership) It prices-out single members, therefore with no singles-subsidy, couples have to bear the fuill cost of the clubs existance. This means a £100 membership fee, drinks at £5 a time and all other costs in proportion to this. I suspect it caters more for the London / Home Counties swingers (who are used to such prices) travelling north than Midlanders travelling south.
Of the others,you can forget about Utopia, Private Club and Ceasars. they all have "working girls" there, mixing with the "punters" and are best described as sex clubs as opposed to swingers clubs.
Also, new kids on the block is Sparx in Wolverhampton. Not been there yet, but have been told that for a converted factory unit, it's been dolled up very well. It's run by a young couple and aims for the younger end of the age range, but the word "empty" has been used by the one or two people who I've spoken to who have been.
Hope that this helps.
I like chameleons better than xtasia, the play rooms are far better, i don't like xtasia cause i don't like shagging some guy on a sofa with his pants round his ancles which is what u get there lol chams has proper play rooms with beds that u can all get naked on, much bigger, better than xtasia or utopia in my opinion
OI Naughtynymphoa1, whats this chameleons thingy ya talking about...... and why have I never been lol...... working nights at asda indeed, now i know the truth....
Seriously though, chameleons is a very good club, the social envoirnment is second to non, and the facilities for any other 'recreation' are as good if not better than any other club i have ever seen( and i have seen a fair old few lol).
To be objective you have to, of course. mention chameleons downfalls, and to my mind it has one(unfortunatley major) one and that is.............
The bloody place shuts, lets make chameleons 24/7 lmao
Not sure if the Atlantis club counts as the midlands as it is in Stoke but I feel that it is a good club for a newbie to start with otherwise we are big fans of chameleons. We have been to xstasia which we didn't like very much. We have also been to Utopia and Caesars and like wise were not impressed.
A male friend and I went to chameleons about 3 years ago.
The women there was very friendly but wouldnt let single men
in. She said there was a very long waiting list for single men.
