Last night, I visited Le Boudoir, a members club that hosts sex parties every week, held at a secret London location. I tried the pole myself later that evening and was far less impressive, which the developing bruise on my bum is proof of. As we descend the stairs, I spot a large bed with a TV above it, set to porn, and a large vibrator, free for all to use. An hour later I saw a woman give her partner a blowjob as she enjoyed the vibrator herself, so it definitely gets used. Additionally, there are two glory hole rooms, where women and men can indulge in a strange penis or two. The building used to be a bank, and owners of Le Boudoir have kept many of the original fittings, including the vault which, coincidentally, is home to the dungeon.

But sex clubs can actually be quite varied, and a lot of fun. Sex clubs are, like the name implies, clubs where people go to have sex. Sometimes temporary sex clubs are hosted in private residences.

The hypnotic techno music surrounded me with the acoustic thump of a porno flick. Then, flush with anticipation and a little fear, I put my hand in his, and together we stepped into an exclusive sex club for couples in New York City. None of my readers would have believed what I was doing.
