Feeling Wicked? Toronto's Sexy Party.
It was lunch hour when I got the word that Wicked was popping up in my neighbourhood. I had been wondering what they were doing to The Vatikan as of late. I remember passing by and seeing the upstairs lights on, noticing contractors walking around and thinking what an amazing loft apartment that could be. Little did I know that it is the new locale for one of Canada's largest hedonistic clubs.
Wicked is opening up on Queen Street West and Brookfield and claims to be an upscale Swinger's Club that caters to the 25-35 year old crowd complete with "love furniture", communal showers, a multi-tiered orgy room and oh yeah, a DJ spinning a soundtrack to your provocative evening.
The new "red light-esque" establishment basically has free reign now that the Supreme Court of Canada has legalized Swinger's Clubs where consenting adults can engage in sexual activity behind closed doors and even have an audience without suffering any illegal consequence.
Described on their website as a "safe environment where you can live out your wildest sexual fantasies no matter how wild or mild," Level 1 is the "off-premise" area of Wicked. Every Saturday there is a new themed sexy party. This area is reserved for the reserved. Only exhibitionism, flirting, kissing, fondling and dirty dancing are allowed. If you want full penetration/"on-premise action", you'll have to venture over to the VIP suites where daily memberships are $10.00 for women and $60.00 for a couple. For all those men folk out there...you'll have trouble getting in without a lady on your arm and don't forget to be good lookin'--Wicked will turn you away if you, your bod, your sophistication and your style just doesn't cut it.
If you think you have what it takes, you can apply online for a membership but you must attach two of your most tantalizing photos for fear of being rejected at the door. However, if you think that may be the case, you can click on over to Wicked's version of Lavalife called "Fling in the City" and try to snag a date or...uhhh...something.
Sure some of the neighbours are up in arms about having "Toronto's Premiere Erotic Party for Selective Women and their Partners" in their 'hood but there are about 12 other Swinger's Clubs in the GTA and co-owner, Aurora Benzion, seems to say that they have a great track record with over 15 000 exclusive and "sophisticated" members. Whether one chooses to believe that is another story. But think about it, we've got the mental hospital on one end, The Drake on the other, why not add another crazy thing in the middle? Funnily enough when I arrived home from work and turned on CityNews, a friend of mine was commenting on this very same thing and I think he said it best, "A swingers club in MY neighbourhood? I think it's great. Swing Along!" Nice Casey...nice.
The Grand Opening is this Saturday, so for those that want to know why "it's good to be naughty" you should put on your most wild and alluring Wicked wear - but no ripped jeans, khakis, caps or sneakers...this isn't just any Swinger's Club. It's Wicked.

Wow...I always thought these kinds of places were limited to grimey cop & mafia movies and maybe Amsterdam.. yeeeech :\
Finally! Toronto has been hurting for a decent swingers club (with standards on who's let in) for years! And no Matt, swingers clubs are in many major cities and have been for 10s if not 100s of years. Barcelona, Paris, and London have great examples. See http://www.clubliberty.eu.com/ and you'll see it's not all about sex-for-pay and illegal immigrants. Just couples out having fun.
I wish those couples would go have their fun somewhwere else.
Non-sexy residents of this area have been battling to keep this area free of various kinds of hipster trash for a decade now.
Go swing in a non-residential area. Or better yet, swing in your own neighbourhoods. It's sickening that the whole west end is turning into a place for 'tourists' from other areas of the city to come and live out their bogus Showcase Channel fantasies.
There goes the stove parts district!
I am happy to hear that Toronto will open this new place. I don't think at all people should be scared and judge it as a dirty place.
The people going to these parties have to show their ID, well behave and they aren't dangerous and unrespectable people.
They have fun as in other Sex-Club, you won't see them and so there is no reason to ban people from living their Fantaisies. People have to stop judging their own sexual life has being the model and morals one.
As a European swinger that came on an assignment to Toronto 2 years ago, i was amazed how 'victorian' some parts of Canadian (or should i say Torontonian) society has conservated itsself: Of the few swinger venues the GTA has, Wicked was the closest to European standards i could find, but still 'far off'.... Now Wicked is taking it to the next level, good, it's time something happened in th GTA.
I understand some of the concerns of ppl living in the west end. It would probably be better located on the outskirts, but perhaps that is the next step.
Aurora did an excellent job on TV, and I hope wicked becomes a success story.
Come on Toronto, welcome to the third millenium.
No doubt Lance (former owner of Vatikan and Sanctuary: Vampire Sex Bar) is kicking himself for not thinking of this before he closed the place down.
It will be interesting though, to see how everythign plays out if Queen's Park ever passes that 'no sex discrimination in pricing' law that they toss around every few years. ;)
I guess straight people can finally have what their gay brethren have been enjoying for decades now: a bathhouse.
I was at Wicked's Grand Opening last night and had a fantastic time! (I'm 32, female). I'm not a 'swinger' or anything, just someone who likes to party (I usually go to 'normal' clubs). Well I've been hearing/reading so much about this 'wicked club' lately, I decided to check it out for myself (I live nearby). It was the best time I've ever had 'clubbing'!! The people were friendly, courteous and FUN. Ironically, I felt a lot safer at Wicked than I do at my 'normal' clubs. Being a non-swinger, I never went upstairs to the 'play area' (where the swinging takes place). There was never any pressure for me to go upstairs, nor was there pressure to partake in the hedonistic activities on the main floor (dirty dancing, partial nudity, etc). Very Laissez-faire. At one (brief) point, I actually found myself dancing topless in their notorious cage. Perhaps one day I'll visit the 'on-premise' area (probably with a partner, who I wouldn't share ;). For now I'm quite happy to party on the tamer (but still wild) main floor. BTW, from the outside, at the peak of all the activity, on their busiest day of the year (grand opening), Wicked Club appeared no different than any other club in the area (except that the patrons outside Wicked were better dressed and behaved).
I advise anyone who has a negative opinion of this club to at least go one time as a customer. I guarantee you'll change your mind! ;-)
I think it's great that there is a club people can go and actually live out their fantasies. Everybody has some sort of a fantasy. The problem is their just to scared to act it out.
As a long time owner of gay bathhouses I am happy to see hetrosexuals finally getting a quality establishment. Nervous neighbours can relax. Sex clubs don't make noise and patrons of these clubs are repectful of their environment. Auroura and Sholmo are class and their club is geared to just that. If you have a moral issue with this, well, that is frankly your problem. I have heard all of that before over the past 32 years. Good luck and best wishes to Wicked. Play safe!
how can we be a part of this

Hey Ken....go to the linked website...there is a whole application you will want to fill out if you are indeed interested. But don't forget, you'll need a lady with you. Start searching!
Boy this club sure gets publicity! Last week the National Post and the Globe&Mail did articles on Wicked Club, and this weekend (Saturday Sept.23) the Toronto Star did one (front page of the GTA section). If nothing else, I guess Wicked Club must be good at selling newspapers!
why wouldnt they have it so if you wanted to go you can regardless of body figure, i think of as being selective to a certian group and leaving out the not so hot but not ugly group
We need one here in Miami.........
excellent idea... i find it very sad though that women are allowed to enter without a male companion, however, males are required to to have a female companion?
hmm... funny that doesn't seem like equality to me... where are the femenists now?
DO YOU LIKE SEX?
Hey I am having a Problem Finding these swingers CLUBS. If anyone could help me.email me at cegsdomi@msn.com Thanks Dave
Hey Dave,
There are many clubs swingclubs all acorss THE GTA. In Toronto though there is just wicked and M4, check them out at www.clubm4.com. hope that helps!
Need to check this place! Look like a lot of fun.
In reply to Marie of 2006, We are swingers and although Wicked is a nice venue, there certainly are not alot of swingers in the club although it has a lot of want-a-be's
Tracey@Miami.....Try "Night Moves" in Tampa Bay area.
Checking in from the Toronto area, and the wife and I would love to see a live sex show. We have only been able to find them (advertised) at gay clubs and bars, but we would prefer to see at least SOME hetero action!
Is there anywhere in Toronto we can go, or a site or paper that might advertise?
Thanks for any suggestions.
hey guys, i know there are a few live couples in the back of the eye magazine or now magazine. but you have to pay and they will preform for you. wish i could help a little more.

kish in Tuches !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This place is not so Wicked. Been to this place a few times, but we have given it our last try. The bartenders (the two that "served" us anyways) were TERRIBLE! Gave us a wrong drink (so we gave it back untouched), and then they said they would not make the drink we actually ordered, and refused to give me my $12 back (that was the charge for one drink!). We complained to the owner (Aurora) who gave our $12 back but did nothing further to correct the problem or apologize! The bartenders refused to serve us the rest of the night (and yes, we were tipping them the whole time)! This was surprising as the girls we were with, were by far the hottest in the club that night (I think the bartenders were jealous of them and that is why they didn't serve us?). The crowd in this place is UGLY. If your average and worried about getting in, don't be!!! And the girls off the website are staff, not customers...so don't be fooled. Also, be careful you don't get your pic taken. Aurora takes pics throughout the night...this may be a factor if privacy is important to you? We did go upstairs where a few guys tried to sneak a feel of our girls. This is 101 of swinging, you have to ask before trying something! We had to take care of it ourselves (no big deal) as nobody else was around to ensure this does not happen. If your looking for ugly people who don't know the etiquette of swinging, and TERRIBLE bar service, this may be your place. I can think of better choices in the Toronto area. Lastly, I did see several city by-laws broken and will contact the city to voice my concerns.
A guy can only get in by himself if he's hot. There's no mention if an ugly woman by herself would be turned way. I am glad to see that were all treated as equals lol.
pece of shit place, and the language written is annoying..
this is the problem of whole toronto, i am beginning to get sick of this mentally ill city...miserable, perverted, completely hurt, and quality is poor. not at all, but mostly it is...
go to amsterdam..why to waste a time in toronto?
hey;) can i be your partner?..♥
mhhhhhhhhhhhhh i like to so much, very nice and chic
