Guides to start without surprises: how to raise the subject with your partner, what to expect at a club or resort, etiquette and beginner mistakes. 18+ only.
The first time does not start at the door of a club but in a conversation. It helps to be clear about why you are curious, what interests you and what you do not want under any circumstances. A good starting point is to agree that going just to look and leaving without doing anything is a perfectly valid option, and that either of you can ask to leave whenever you like. If bringing it up is hard, we have guides with concrete phrases to start talking about it without pressure and at your own pace.
Every space has its own rules: who may enter (couples, single women, single men), dress code, phone policy, areas and opening hours. The sensible approach is to read the house rules before going, check the date on which we verified each listing and, if in doubt, ask the venue directly. Many places run welcome nights or calmer evenings, which can be a good way to get a feel for the atmosphere without any commitment.
A no is respected the first time, nobody is touched without explicit permission and nobody takes photos. Among the most common mistakes of first-timers are drinking too much, arriving with very different expectations within the couple and mistaking a friendly gesture for an invitation. The guides on this page cover the basic etiquette and the slips worth avoiding, with examples of typical situations and advice on getting out of them gracefully.
Bring your own condoms, consider regular testing, tell someone you trust where you will be and plan how you will get home. Below we gather the guides and articles about first times, from how to raise the subject to what to expect at a club or a resort, plus related events when there are any. All content is for adults aged 18 and over and does not replace professional advice.
