Wicked In More Ways Than One

Girls not exactly has shown (I bet).

Actually, most of the people I saw were not unattractive (just not my type) and from what I hear (and judging from the pictures which, given the sheer number of them, would be difficult to fake) there are quite a few good-lookin' swingers.

"$7 gin-and-tonics" ? Funny, I remember reading on their website that they didn't serve alcohol... though I can't find that now. Maybe something changed.

Japhet, you said the tone was cold, but did you get a chance to talk to anyone? Did anyone break the ice?

Great article, looking forward to your follow up interview of the employee.

I talked to a couple of people but most of them were rather occupied.

I wouldn't say we were made to feel particularly welcome but we didn't really try that hard either.

Ooo, I have two more semi digruntled employees if you need it, one of them being myself (I worked there for one night.)

Ask me about being asked to pick up wet-spotted sheets and innumerable tissues with no gloves.

Although I heard they changed that now.

Man, the upstairs part was so not hot, to me at least. The best part actually was looking out the window to see the people screwing in the alley, the good ol' fashioned way.

The girls in those particular pictures are "Schlomo's Angels," I do believe.

If you could get back to me at japhetbower@gmail.com, I'd love to talk to you.

the whole place was boring beyond belief! i couldn't believe it!

i think if i was incredibly tanked, i might have been much more interested, but even at 27 years old, i felt that most of the people there were too grown up looking for my taste (suburban men do not turn my crank!)

Bryanna - I'm also interested in talking to you, just out of curiosity's sake. I used to work with them in the summer and had an AWFUL experience.

Email me at themightykiwi AT hotmail DOT com if you'd like to get a little catty.

so what would you say the average age would be?

25-45. Professionals, that sort of thing.

Nice read. Limited to writing only about the main room though? You need a more adventurous beard next time.

Wife and I are considering a visit to our local swingers bar. I read nothing but wonderful things about it from its regulars.

As long as you're paying; I couldn't afford the back room.

Clearly Wicked is to be avoided. Also, there is an error in this good article. Wicked is NOT the only on-premise swing club. Club Hers on Lakeshore is also on-premise. You will get a tour automatically, you will be introduced to the staff and security and you will wonder how you lived before Club Hers.

Wicked is probably the best lifestyle club out there. X Club is not far behind. Club Hers, Happy Hedonist and Abstract are focus to 45+ couples. Obvioulsy Japhet and the Beard are not into the lifestyle so their opinion is somehow biased. Talk to anyone in the lifestyle and will agree than X and Wicked are the best 2 clubs on the scene.

In conclusion this is a review made by a "vanilla" person that was accompanied by a "vanilla" friend; so cannot be considered a reliable and objective source for lifestylers looking for a club.

My 2 cents!

Out of all the clubs in the GTA Club Hers is the worst one. Don't waste your time or money going there, unless you want to be surrounded by creepy single guys and 50+ y-old couples.

I'm not a swinger but I'm definitely not vanilla. I've heard tons of bad things about Club Wicked and I wasn't impressed when I visited.

I had a way better time at X Club.

Attending in September and have to say wasn't impressed at all. The owners wouldn't give you the time of day for these first-timers and were actually quite rude when we wanted to have our questions answered and the promised tour upstairs. He claimed to be busy but stood at the end of the bar for the hour that we were there and did nothing. Slomo, I think is his name? Yeah that sums him up. Not to brag but we are a nice looking couple and fit in quite nicely so I don't know what his egotisticll problem was.

Never ever attending again. Never recommending this club to anyone. Trust me, avoid this overpriced and undelivering club.

We visited both club Wicked and Club Hers. Personally, I was not impressed by club Wicked. The atmosphere was quite cold. People didn't really talk, there were a lot of new people or experimenting people on the scene. We didn't get a tour and got the cold shoulders from both the owners and the staff when we requested a tour. The showers didn't have hot water, the washroom were dirty, it ran out of toilet papers and nobody bother to replace them. The massage table was nice but when I gave my significant other a massage it ran out of massage oil. We weren't exactly a shy couple but most people didn't want to talk, they were so impersonal and just wanted to screw, nothing else. We tried sex with two couple, the first the woman was totally not into and and seemingly pressured there by her husband (which is a turn off for both of us). The second, her husband wanted to enjoy himself with me and got jealous when my boyfriend was doing such a good job on his wife. He saw that she was getting into my boyfriend and yanked her back to him. That sucks! We are in our late twenties, both love the swinging lifestyle and love it that we both love to see the other enjoy ourselves with others. We would not go to Wicked anymore because of the service and the unexperienced crowd. We felt very welcomed at Club Hers. We love the staff and the people that frequent there, they are a lot more relaxed about swinging and friendly.

Generally speaking some of these comments are true and a lot false.
We've been to quite a few swingers (term nowadays is 'lifestyler') clubs and to be honest, even with the negative aspects that i do not like about Wicked, it is still probably the best club I've been to (planning a trip to Miami soon so that may change).
Wicked is like any club and not some house party. You still have to be sociable and reasonably good looking to make it easy to fit in. Either subsequent visits or even better, go with friends (preferably in the lifestyle) will make partying there better. Compared to other clubs i would say:
Pros:
1 easy to meet people 2 fairly good looking crowd 3 fairly affordable ($20/cpl b4 11 and $60 gets you an orgy! C'mon!) 4 younger crowd
Cons:
1 if you're shy,overweight, or not good looking fitting in difficult 2 owners are a little cold 3 some people overly aggressive 4 crowd rarely represents Toronto's diverse population
overall though the wife and i have a difficult time going back to a boring 'regular' club

Wicked is so uncool its not funny. I mean: "Vogue Bar"? That was Madonna in 1993! You can't feel more out of place trying to slip into this place on west Queen west with all the cool kids walking past. I don't know what they were thinking moving to that area - just shows how out of touch they are. The crowd is just a few lame 905ers on their night in the city.

The staff really knows how to make you feel unwelcome, its a total ripoff and the crowd is pretty unsexy. The place is also filthy - if your going to pick up crabs, herpes or worse this will be the place.

Rumours are they keep the male-female balance with "hired help" if you know what I mean (re-read that sentence about crabs and herpes when you think about this).

Take my advice: check out the other options!

Hi everyone. We run a "lifestyle club" for attractive Lifestyle couples here in Vancouver. We are planning on moving it into a commercial space in the next few months. So far, we've pretty much only received positive feedback about the experience on our forum. However, this discussion has been great for our consideration on the dos and don'ts of this style of club. Would love to hear your top 3-5 recommendations that you think we should definately include to make our club a top notch experience. One thing we've been told so far on a regular basis is how "no-pressure" our environment is. We focus first and foremost on throwing a "kick ass party" and then if anything happens up stairs, so be it, but we're not pushing people up the stairs to go and get it on.

Would love to hear the top 5. Thanks in advance.

Eve
