Every one in the swinging scene has been affected by the march of HIV and AIDS in different ways. Some have simply ignored it, others have wrapped themselves up so securely in safe sex that they can no longer feel anything, and still others have dropped out of the scene altogether. We encourage safe sex through the provision of condoms within the club. Some younger swingers may have never even known a time when the use of lubes and condoms was not essential and so practising the skills necessary to safely enjoy your life style is essential. As with most things connected to the swinging scene, whether you choose to practise safe sex is a matter of personal choice – we include this information to help you make an INFORMED personal choice.
Many couples have asked us about std’s in hot tubs or jacuzzis.

There are many myths about catching std’s in hot tubs, but the risks of catching std’s in a sexually active hot tub are very high, especially if the temperature drops below 85 degrees Fahrenheit and the hot tub does not have the correct levels of chlorine and minerals. Many hotels have stopped installing hot tubs because of the high maintenance costs and difficulty in maintaining the correct levels of chlorine and minerals. Here are some of the reasons that Hotels are getting out of the hot tub business.
