I know this is a long rambling post. I hope you'll humor me. My intentions are good! 
I'm completely un-associated with the party heretofore mentioned. Wow--that sounded like lawyer-speak!
OK, so there's a party coming up on Saturday in the Ogden area. I'm pretty much an expert on it 'cause I don't know the hosts, don't know the venue, and have never been there.
But I've been to the Draper area version and can tell you that it's very classy.
We're goin, but we may not be your cup-o-tea. But looking at the guest list, there are some VERY sexy folks planning on being in attendance. Ask yourself, why aren't YOU on that list?
Now I've heard, here-'bouts, that it's kinda difficult to meet up with swinger-type people on here (or elsewhere). I'd not disagree. Having said that, wouldn't it be a good idea to support those folks who organize such parties? And show up, so that they continue? So that even more venues/parties are available in the future? So that more like-minded couples appear before your very eyes at similar parties?
Reasons NOT to go to the party:
You're shy. Screw you, so am I, now get yer ass to this party so that we can be shy together.
Seriously, I'm so goofy on here that people expect me to be some kind-a comic in-person. I ain't. I'm shy. The written word is more my forte'. I've got to push myself (and quiet hubby) in order to attend these things. We always have fun and always meet at least a few new people. And everyone attending this party has agreed not to be "clique-ish" and to push their comfort zone by introducing themselves to at least three other couples/groups that they don't know, and to invite those couples into their inner circle. OK, they really haven't promised that. But they will after they read this. Or I'll bring that riding crop that I bought for the "50 Shades" party and beat them senseless with it.
You're new to swinging. I can't think of a better way to ease into it. These are not all out everyone rip their clothes off orgy kinda things. Why not? 'Cause the prudes won't let me have my way, DAMN IT! Errr...skip that last sentence. Anyhoo, there's typically some darkened rooms where, sure enough, folks are "smooching". Smooching may be a slight understatement. But the voyeurs peek in, the exhibitionists go for it, and us in-between types do a bit of both. No pressure, the comfort level and level of participation is up to you. A GREAT introduction to the swing scene.
Too Expensive. Crawl outa yer freakin' cave, would ya?
Here's seven letters for ya that explain it: "Open Bar." Of course there's ususally some light snacks as well. And like I said, if you go to the right room, NAKED PEOPLE. Yeah, I know, makes that last porno DVD you bought seem overpriced, doesn't it? And hell, for me personally, hubby doesn't drink, and if I hit more than three drinks I typically wake up flat on my back, naked, legs spread, wondering why the hell I'm feeling so sore "down there." 
So yeah, I keep it to 3 drinks or less, but still feel that we get our $25 bucks worth as a couple.
You're an overbearing, pushy, arrogant, obnoxious, azzhole. Yer right. You really should stay home and enjoy some "alone time".
Reasons to Cum to the Party:
Lets be honest here: Who DOESN'T like to Cum, right?
Swingers are NOT just gonna fall right into your lap. Unless you come to this party. Or I hit the four drinks previously mentioned. Then gently ease my legs back together, would ya?
Even if you might be shy, you can meat, errr..."Meet", potential folks that you might want to communicate or hang out with later. Even vicariously as you see the interactions among other folks, you may just find some folks you're interested in.
There are lots of nooks and crannys. It's my understanding that there are various nooks, crannies, bedrooms, sitting areas, etc where people may gather. It can actually be a more intimate type thing than you might expect, so if you ARE shy, it's not like you've got to "perform" before a huge audience.
OK, sorry, end of rant. I just feel it's a bit like politics. If you don't fully participate, quit yer bitchin! I'm not even going to attempt to articulate the names of the various party hosts that provide for such gatherings and venues. We have a great appreciation for their time and efforts and for sticking their necks out to do it ... you are ALL awesome.
Oh, and if you do cum? Say Hi, OK? If you find a wild-haired redhead humping on your leg like a 2 year old un-neutered Irish Setter? That'll be me.

Amen!!
SWINGERS??? Oh shit!!! I thought we were just trying an "alternative lifestyle". Hmmmm last time I jumped from a SWING...it hurt like hell!!! But the last time I just slid nice & easy into open arms...it was a good landing!
And the hosts and guests are uber-sexy
I have to agree 100%. If I can get a friend to go with me so that I'm "hosted" as a single male, I'm definitely planning on going. If we want quality events, we have to be willing to attend the ones that get thrown.
We were going to go because this sounds like way too much fun (and one of the misses favorite stud muffins is going to be there) then we decided the drive time was just too much, then we decided it really was too much fun to pass up though and we haven't seen the venue so yeah, we'll go, then we decided they would probably have a similar party South so we will just wait for that one, then we decided , no it's been to long, we need to go do something fun so we were going to go, then we realized we didn't have a sitter so we decided not to go, but NOW, you have guilted us into commitment. WE ARE GOING !!!! Well, if we can get a sitter, the drive doesn't seem like too much that night, and we can't find anything closer
Seriously people, we are deep in Utah county so it is a drive for us but we agree with everything said in the original post. We were very hesitant to go to the Draper venue...we are not as young and fit as so many, the female half is shy in new social situations and was new to the lifestyle, and I can tell you going to the Draper venue was the best thing we could have done. So FUN, NO PRESSURE, GREAT PEOPLE, we love it and go every time we can get away.
I PROMISE you, if you are new, you will find these parties more comfortable than going out and "dating" and meeting individually. Well, unless you meet us because we are just cool like that.
If you are hesitating because you are new, or shy, or not built like a super model STOP IT. North or South give these venues a try and you will have the time of your life.

You know? Sometimes I love this place! 
You people are fun! This might get a tad long 'cause I'm gonna try to respond to a lot of the replies here. But all these great responses have made me look forward to this party even more!
KNR84088 -- Thanks for the AMEN! Don't you do the Massage mixers? We really need to go to one of those or I risk appearing a tad hypocritical!
CBUTAH -- Have not met the hosts, but given that you're SO right about the guests, we totally believe you!
PebbleRock -- LOL, I'm interpreting your response to be that we'll be seeing you there?
FSNC01 and WhoUs2012-- Heck, we've driven down to Draper enough times that I hope you feel compelled to provide some payback coming in the other direction!
And WhoUs? Your first paragraph 'bout made me pee myself!
LustyTrim&Fit -- Can you expand on the thoughts that you expressed in that first reply? WHat? "How do you spell N-A-R-C-I-S-I-S-T?" Why would you ask me that?
FriendlyGentleman, BlueEyes, and Just_Rach -- Lets see ... Two beautiful woman and one studly guy sounds like just the right proportion for this site!!! I hope to see you ALL there (not to mention seeing ALL of each of you!)
DeliciouslyWet -- Time for the Mrs to gain a hall pass! Sorry for that suggestion Mr DeliciouslyWet, we'll make it up to ya next time?!
Well, not really, 'cause I think I know what you mean, thus my comment about my hope that people hanging in "cliques" will try to push themselves away from all the friends they already know and try to do their best to welcome new people. But it's hard.
This is what hubby and I do: Neither of us is the best conversationalist with folks we don't know. So we go with NO expectations, just pretend we're going on a normal date. You have fun with each other on just a date to dinner and a vanilla club don't you? Just have the same attitude here. IT IS SO HARD FOR ME TO DO too, but I'm still going to try to introduce myself to boatloads of folks there. But, either way, I'll be there with my best friend, the love of my life, so it really doesn't matter if we hook up with anyone. We can watch and listen to all the activities in certain rooms, we can get hot and heavy ourselves, or hell, who knows? Maybe we'll meet the right couple/single for a little extra curricular either there or maybe with them at some other date or some after-party. No expectations though -- just an attitude for relaxation, enjoyment, and fun. Please do come! You just might be surprised.

Um ok yeah..lol. Sounds like a real good time, but were the type that would get ignored by all the fun people no matter how many we introduce ourselves to. So we'll just sit at home in our own dark little cave and play with ourselves!! Lol

Blue Eyes and JustRACH, I wish I wasn't already pre
oo whats this glow party all about? sounds like my kind of fun(im a liquid dancer thats why, and not too shaby with sticks either.) -F

She, of course, can go if she wants. Does not sound like she wants to go without me. Does not like to do first meetings by herself. Second and third, etc., once she knows ya. I will mention it again.

She looks too cute and I just hate competition from hot ladies like that!

However, I will say that I ALSO like to play with the "Wood." Oh. You said "Sticks?" Not the same thing? Sorry, My Bad. 
Ok PALS, what's the catch? Why are you pushing so hard for this party? Do you have the pork rinds concession all locked up for this soiree'? Get everyone all drunk and happy then pull out the extra spicy pork rinds and tempt people with their crunchy goodness? Charge a premium for their porky deliciousness? C'mon, come clean!

For Gawd Sakes Man, right when I thought we were becoming friends, you DO THIS?
What's next? Are ya gonna tell all my victims about the one way Ladies room door that lets the women in but not back out, gradually reducing my competition? Or maybe about the bribed bartenders introducing small amounts of GHB and Rohypnal into the mens' drinks so that I can more easily victimize them once their female partners are eliminated? IS YOUR PLAN HERE TO RUIN ALL MY FUN AND PROFIT, YOU AWFUL SPAWN OF THE DEVIL??? Ahem, gotta run, I may have forgotten to take my meds this morning.
Hey, other than the whole Devil thing, my dad's actually pretty cool. He got me this sweet pitchfork for Xmas and promised me a new puppy (hell hound) if I got a few more F's this semester.
We've been excited to go ever since we heard about it. We will definitely be there. EvilDoers, i think it is because the Ogden events are so new. We went to one 2 weeks ago and it was an absolute blast.
Yeah PANDJ, but's in Ogden....OGDEN!
ps- I'm just kidding everyone. I grew up in Ogden and other than being a pervert and having a severely warped sense of humor (oh, and that whole 3rd testicle thing) I think I turned out ok.

I can verify what the Evildoers say about the Mr having 3 testicles. You know their profile photo, right? Well you probably didn't know that the Evils' also had a camera installed at the foot of the bed for that one, pointed right up between Mr Evil's thighs to his anal and crotch area. I know, because Mr Evil sent me an enlarged photo from that camera. Unsolicited. Yes, he has 3 testicles. Now you know why We and the Evils are sworn enemies on this site. There are simply some sights that cannot be unseen.
If you receive unsolicited emails from the Evils? You've been warned.
Just wanted to shout out to PALS4FUN for pimping our northern Utah events, even if we have not met you yet and you have not yet been Enlightened (by us). And if you want the pork rinds concession, it is all yours, although our appetizers tend to come with a little more class, all respect to the porkers and their rinds. Can you serve them with rosemary sprigs or something just for appearances?
Those of you who have been to our invite-only events in the past -- the wine parties and Mardi Gras, especially -- know that we go all out on our events, with food and beverages and atmosphere. Only recently have we agreed to host LS events that are accessible to all. Some of these events are in partnership with Lifestyle Manor (Draper) and some are under our Enlightened Xperience banner. Either way, our focus has been and always will be to offer a classy, safe and discrete experience.
We are certainly nervous about opening our historic mansion up to a broader LS public, but we are also committed to having a northern Utah option (gawd we hate that drive to Draper). If it works out, that we can cover the expenses, then we all have a place in northern Utah where open-minded couples can mingle. If it doesn't work out, no one can accuse us of not trying to improve our little refuge community in our otherwise oppressive state.
And just to offer some clarification on earlier comments, we are not in competition with Lifestyle Manor, but not all events are Lifestyle Manor events. Rather we have partnered with Ross and Vickey on some events, and some events are ours alone. Some events are co-hosted by Ross and Vickey, some are co-hosted by our friends on this site. We schedule our events (or most of them) so as not conflict with Draper events, that folks can participate at both locations. In some cases, there will be a themed party in Ogden followed by the same theme in Draper. We are all working together to improve the LS scene in Utah.
Yes, our events are in Ogden. But if you turn the lights down low and squint, you can pretend you are in Boca or Palm Springs or even Draper, gawd forbid. The venue we have is awesome for 30 to 40 couples at a time -- so not as big as Draper. But it also offers a lot more intimacy, places for conversation, flirting, and whatever your passions might be. Lots of private space. And, stereotypes aside, it is a safe, quiet neighborhood.
Give us a chance to show you what we can do. If you have a miserable time, we will simply give you your money back. Life is too short to be pissed off.
Hope to meet new friends at GLOW tomorrow night!!!

Ditto; we'd of RSVP sooner; had to make sure we had a babysitter that night, LOL. D&J have established a setting that is so welcoming and enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing a number of you at the party and getting to know those of you we don't.
