Running into a co-worker at a swingers club

Mrs. Penguin and I were having a good night at the club. We talked to some friends, had some drinks, and eventually decided that we were in the mood to bang eachother, so we headed into the couples only group play area at the club. This play area is an open room with 7 separate beds in it. We are having a great time, and are really getting into it. While we play with eachother, we take a moment to look around the room to enjoy watching the other couples play. We are enjoying the scenery when it finally happens.... Mrs. Penguin looks at the bed to our left and sees a co-worker of hers, bent over on all fours, getting pounded doggy style right next to us.



When a couple who is new to the lifestyle starts talking about going to a swingers club for the first time, one of the greatest fears they have is often "what if I run into someone I know". The reality is that most swingers are "in the closet". Most of us don't tell even our closest friends or family about what we do in the privacy of our own bedroom, much less our co-workers. Running into a friend or co-worker is a terrifying prospect to many people new to the lifestyle.

If you are afraid of running into a friend or coworker at a swingers club, I have bad news for you : It is going to happen eventually. While nobody knows for sure exactly what percentage of couples swing (most of us are in the closet and don't talk about it after all), the fact of the matter is that swinging is more common than most people outside of the lifestyle think it is, and if you attend clubs often enough, the law of averages dictates that eventually you are going to run into someone you know.

If the knowledge that you will eventually run into a friend or coworker at a lifestyle club scares you, don't worry, I have good news as well! Anyone you run into at a swingers club is either a swinger them self, or is comfortable enough with the idea of swinging to attend a club. Nobody who attends a swingers club is going to judge anyone else for attending a swingers club. During our time in the lifestyle, we have run into several coworkers and friends, and every time, the end result it our relationship with those people has improved. Was it awkward for a moment when we first ran into them? Sure, but with every instance it did not take long for everyone to realize that they were all there for the same reason, and that swinging is nothing to be ashamed about.

While swinging may be taboo for people outside of the lifestyle, it creates a shared bond between people within the lifestyle. When you run into an acquaintance at a club, they stop being "one of them" and start being "one of us". The bond is instant. When Mrs. Penguin and I first started swinging, we thought that seeing friends or coworkers at the club would be terrible, but now we actually look forward to meeting our "vanilla" friends within the lifestyle.

  1. Who doesn't love a good secret? So much of ourselves are posted on Facebook, and other venues. What happens in the club stays at the club, and it's refreshing to still be able to find this type of environment.

  2. While this is probably one of the biggest fears. It's also probably the most undeserved fear. Swingers tend to be a very social and a tight knit community. Not much different than regulars at a lodge or neighborhood bar. We have met many co-workers, old class mates, and friends. What happens in reality, is you end up enjoying a drink, sharing funny stories and sometimes even engaging in swinging activities with them. For us, some of those co-workers that were only known as the person that sits in the other cube, now has become great friends, where we not only go to club, but also enjoy normal social activities. In one case we ran into a co-worker whose spouse ran into their boss. The didn't become clubs friends and were really freaked out. Their solution was take a don't ask don't tell approach like it never happened. So even in that case it didn't end negatively. I am sure there are some cases where a vindictive ex or snitchy co-worker could create problems but in years of going to clubs and parties we only know of one negative case and that was through second hand story telling.

  3. We bumped into our next door neighbours we'd been friends for years and had no idea what each other did
