Notwithstanding the fact that if you live in the Midlands
you can get virtually anywhere in the UK easier than if you live elsewhere,
it seems that the Midlands is also blessed to have the two most popular and
progressive Swingers Clubs in the whole of the UK. The best news of all though
is that they are both completely different to each other and so not in any way
local competitors.
Swinging may never become truly mainstream in the United
Kingdom, but our society today is much more liberal than at any time in its
history as more and more Swingers Clubs are opening across the country. This
ever expanding choice is no bad thing and it does provide more choice, but it
appears that just as many Clubs are failing as are succeeding and in a market
that is already fairly narrow in appeal, it takes something fairly
special to make a club really successful.
The Swingrs Team recently undertook a trip to the
Midlands with the purpose of taking a more analytical view of two popular Swingers
Clubs. Both of these Clubs have huge numbers of loyal patrons who claim that these are the best two Clubs in the whole of the United Kingdom.
These are our thoughts…
Chameleons Club in Darlaston (Junction 10, M6) has been around
for a while now and it has a great and well-deserved reputation for being one
of the best Swingers Club in the UK. The Club is open 7 days a week and has
days/nights that cater exclusively for couples (Saturdays), bisexuals (Mondays)
and there is even a naked night on a Tuesday where modesty gets left behind at
the front desk. Most days, the Club opens mid-afternoon and stays open until
late and there are rarely days when it is not busy. If you are travelling from outside
the local area, the Club has rooms available on site to rent and all rooms have a
comfortable bed and en suite facilities, but be prepared to book ahead – this
is a popular option and the rooms do get booked a long time in advance, in
particular when big events have been advertised.

Chameleons is what is known as a dress down Club. This
means that when you arrive, you dress down into a towel, sexy underwear (or
shorts) or into the theme of the evening. No-one wanders around the club in street
clothing, it is underwear, shorts, a towel or even naked! The Club’s lower
floor comprises a bar and socialising area along with two very large hot tubs. The
first floor has a steam room, more social areas, a cinema and a number of
private lockable (as well as open) rooms whilst the top floor features a number
of newly renovated play rooms as well as a small dungeon room.
Our experiences of this Club have been overwhelmingly
positive. It is a very easy going and safe environment where sexy fun may not
be guaranteed, but a fun and relaxing time in a sexy environment invariably is.
Being a dress down Club and fairly intimate in its layout, those who are ready
to play and who hook up with like-minded people can have the time of their
lives – and many do!
Elsewhere in the Midland is the town of West Bromwich and
right there on the High Street is a Swingers Club called Xtasia. In recent
years, this club has seen a revolution in ideas and concepts under the
stewardship of its new owners. Xtasia is one of the longest standing Clubs in
the UK, but for those who have not been for a few years – the transformation
has been remarkable. Club Xtasia is actually a fully licensed nightclub
complete with dance floor, high end sound system and fabulous lighting. The Club owners have also recently acquired the pub that was next door
to Xtasia and they have now created a gated environment that caters for
Swingers as well as lovers of the Fet life.

The reason that Chameleons and Xtasia are not competitors
is that they each offer an entirely different experience. Whereas Chameleons is
very much a dressed down, chilled out experience (with sex immediately on hand
for those ready to go) Xtasia provides for a Nightclub experience with a highly
sexually charged atmosphere. One Saturday night in October 2015, Xtasia had
more than 600 people in attendance for a major event that had the rafters
lifted and the walls shaking. Guest DJ’s who are nationally recognised
occasionally feature and the dress code means that the Club goers always arrive
looking the part because jeans and trainers are simply not permitted. It might be expected that a Nightclub theme
might attract nightclub prices at the bar, but this is not the case, a double
spirit with a mixer is a very reasonable £5.
As well as the fabulous dance floor area there are also
plenty of other areas to explore within Xtasia including a cinema, Jacuzzi,
attic dogging area, play rooms and a cool down chill out zone. The new owners of
Xtasia have raised the bar in respect of successfully organising truly
imaginative and successful events that attract ever greater
numbers of sexy Swingers. It may not offer the dress down, instant contact opportunities that area available nearby in Chameleons, but why look to compete with something that is already very successful in that respect anyway?

Club Xtasia is successful because the new owners have
built and are still developing a sexual utopia that caters for all and which is
centered around a large and well equipped dance floor. In 2016, look out for
events already advertised that include stomping rave nights (DPraved) with “named” guest
DJ’s, outrageous foam parties and the new kinkster special “Freakers Ball” that
kicks off in March. For the out of towner, don’t despair, right next door to
Xtasia is a Premier Inn and if you book ahead, you can get nights for just £35
per night. Fortunately, Xtasia help you plan your nights by publishing their
calendar of events a whole year ahead so we can all enjoy these outstanding
nights.
In summary then, the Midlands has two truly exceptional
Swingers venues and both are probably the best at what they each do, without actually being in competition with each other. In that respect, the Midlands probably IS the best place to live if you are a Swinger, but fortunately for the rest of us, both of these Clubs have inexpensive hotels on-site or literally next door.
Both of these Clubs, like all in the UK are members only
and the owners of both venues require that anyone planning to attend telephones
the Club beforehand and checks the membership requirements.
