If two is company, then three is a party. Anything more than that is just added fun. As polyamory becomes more normalized, the demand for sexy, swinging spaces is at an all-time high. Dallas remains one of the country’s hot spots for swinging. So if you’ve ever wanted to be a third, or a fourth of a seventh, you’re in a good place. Although the lifestyle may not be for everybody, Dallas is home to many hidden gems where couples and singles alike can make their wildest fantasies come true. Whether you’re vanilla and mild, loose and wild or a seasoned kinkmaster, there are plenty of opportunities in DFW to explore swinging.
Swinging and polyamory, though often conflated, are not the same thing. Swinging is a controlled and conditional opening of relationships in a sexual capacity. While polyamory refers to multiple concurrent romantic relationships, which can overlap or be entirely separate. As for the best spots in Dallas to meet your second or third boyfriend, we’re still trying to figure out how to find the first one in a city routinely named as the worst spot for dating, so if you have any tips, let us know.
If you’ve never considered swinging, consider this your sign. Though we’re certain if you’ve made it this far in the story, this isn’t the first time you’ve thought about taking a test-drive down new roads. Besides, this state is full of residents whose biggest fetish is watching someone else… enjoy their partner, so never say we don’t know our people.
Colette
10821 Composite Drive, No. 300
Couples and singles alike are all welcome at Colette, an upscale nightclub-style swingers spot catering to varying degrees of kink needs. If you need a little liquid courage to get socially lubricated (no pun intended, we think), know that Colette doesn’t serve alcohol, but guests are allowed to bring their own. The club’s dance areas are equipped with poles and high-tech lighting, accompanied by a DJ spinning jams all night. There is also an in-club movie theater screening X-rated films throughout the night. Every Wednesday, Colette has Newbie Night, where those new to the swinging lifestyle can play for one night, with the membership fee waived. Newcomers are expected to dress in formal wear, while veterans of the lifestyle are encouraged to dress in their sexiest lingerie, gothic, leather or fetish-wear.
Bliss Adult Arcade & Theater Swingers Club
9109 John Carpenter Expressway
Behold some sexy art on the walls, then pop in a movie to keep things going. At Bliss, visitors can play some scandalous games or purchase one of thousands of DVDs in the shop. Inside is a theater where visitors can watch X-rated films and mingle with couples who are also interested in the lifestyle. Tickets to the theater are $11 per person, but ladies get in free on Wednesday nights.
Club Dallas
2616 Swiss Ave.
Hidden near Deep Ellum, Club Dallas is a men-only health club offering several amenities to set the mood. While the gym and cardiovascular room may fit the “health club” description, the indoor hot tub, steam room and sauna are where all the action can be found. Plus, the outdoor patio comes complete with a high fence and a swimming pool perfect for skinny dipping. As long as the activity taking place involves two (or more) consenting adults, few things are off-limits at Club Dallas. On the off chance that someone tells you to “get a room,” Club Dallas also has private rooms available for rent. To keep things safe, the club has condoms and lubricant available for purchase.
Club Eden
11050 S. Pipeline Road, Euless
The dress code at Club Eden is fairly simple. Men, wear whatever you think will get you laid. Ladies, be as sexy as you want to be. Across Eden’s 12,000 square feet, members and guests can get into the groove on the large dance floor, which contains stripper poles, shadow boxes and a cage. Large television set-ups display music videos throughout the night, whether you’re cutting a rug on the floor or kicking back in the private lounge area. When you’re ready for playtime, Eden has four private rooms on site. Themed nights like Hump Day and Topless Fridays are pretty self-explanatory.
Infliction Hall
11050 S. Pipeline Road, Euless
Sticks and stones may break one’s bones, but if chains and whips excite you, you’ve got to check out Infliction Hall. Right next to Club Eden (in case you’ve ever wondered what they’re up to out in Eueless), Infliction Hall is a BDSM paradise with a dungeon atmosphere that’s open to couples and singles looking to embrace the art of kink. People of all sexual orientations and genders are welcome at Infliction Hall, where they can try out master-slave scenarios, ropes and bondage, kinky speed dating and much more.
The Wicked Manor
Address provided with membership
The Wicked Manor, formerly known as PlayhouseDFW, only reinforces our city’s reputation as one of the most sinful in the nation, as it’s one of only two of the club’s locations in the U.S. The other one is in Las Vegas. The members-only club is a 7,000-square-foot “boutique” playground that offers a pool, BYOB bar and locker room, as well as both private rooms and voyeur rooms if you just prefer to watch. Located just “10 miles southwest of downtown Dallas” (an address is provided upon membership approval), the club is open Fridays and Saturdays from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays, in particular, are host to “Hot Wife Friday,” which is billed as a greedy girls/gang-bang party, if that’s your sort of thing.
