Why single men pay more
Most swinger clubs and a lot of sex parties price by who you are. London’s Our Place 4 Fun is a clean example from our guide: £20 for a couple, £10 for a single woman, £40 for a single man. That’s four times the price per head of a woman in a couple. Snctm in Los Angeles takes it further: single men can’t get in at all without a membership that runs into five figures a year. Fetish clubs like KitKat and Torture Garden are much flatter. They care about what you’re wearing, not who you came with.
The calculator handles this with a simple rule: single men pay 1.5 times the typical door fee, single women half, and couples 1.5 times for the pair. It’s not exact for every club, but it’s close to how most of them price.
Five ways to make the money go further
Time it with a festival, or avoid one. IML weekend in Chicago and Folsom week in Berlin pack more parties into four days than most cities manage in a month, but hotels double. Chicago Leather Pride in early May gets you the same community with easy booking.
Start with a munch. They’re free or close to it (Milan’s munch is about €10 with a drink included) and you’ll leave knowing which parties are worth paying for.
Split a dungeon. Private rooms in Madrid start around €55 an hour and fit six to eight people. Split between friends, that’s cheaper than most club covers.
Don’t buy your outfit at the club. The boutique at the door is convenient and expensive. Buy in town the day before, or bring your own. Our dress code checker tells you what you actually need.
Stay near the clubs. A 4am taxi across Los Angeles or Mexico City costs more than the door fee. In Berlin and London, a hotel near the venue means you can walk.
