Anyway, from the response of the EC people, it would appear there is the option of clubs, You and some others just don't seem to qualify for an invite. . . . . but, ADMIN Pieman and MOD Pieman has spoken, so I will stop talking about things that are not related to swingers being weird.

By the way, as it turns out, we are in a club of 6 people and it is as covert as any other. So if that is the kind of club that was being referred to, we do actually belong to one. I am however the only blue-collar member of said club, which means that I have to scrub down real good before each meet. I'm also the only guy who always wears gloves at work. I did try the 10 hour a day desk job thing but it did not do it for me.
Just don't see how such clubs will be of use or accessible to the average would be swinger.
Therefore from my side, to keep the purity of threads I'll take any off topic pow wow that I intend commenting on into a new thread.
