The owners of an "adult nightclub" at Woolloongabba have hit back at news reports referring to them as a "swingers' club". Mr Horn said the couple was working to dissolve the "mythical stereotype" that surrounded the idea of a sex-on-premises club. The club is designed like a regular nightclub, with a dance floor and bar, but with separate rooms that couples can use to participate in sex, he said. Strict rules apply to all visitors to the club, he said, with any rule-breakers removed immediately and not allowed to return.
Couples can invite another visitor to join them, or swap partners, but only when one party issues an invitation and the second party accepts. The club is open two nights a week - Friday and Saturday - and on the first Wednesday and Thursday of each month, not the four nights a week as stated by news reports.
Mr Horn said the attraction to the club for most visitors was the concept of watching other couples - or being watched themselves. The club also includes a "slap-and-tickle" bondage area and a voyeur's room, which has a one-way window for couples who like the idea of being watched but don't want to see the viewers. One of the most important rules, Mr Horn said, was that visitors were not allowed to walk around naked.
Mr Horn said the couple were simply operating an out-in-the-open, safe version of the "couples' parties" that happened all over Brisbane.
