History Of The Sex Club Scene In New York City

The roots of the sex trade in New York go back to the very early days of the dutch founders, when it was decided that this burgeoning trading port would do well to provide such services to its growing transient working class population. By the 1630s, Bordellos were established and flourished almost immediately, though there were some pretty strange regulations in the early days (men under 5 feet tall were not permitted to enter, for instance). Over the next hundred years, the city's pleasure industry grew so much that George Washington famously expressed alarm over it in his diary while stationed in the city in 1776.

Over the next couple of decades, the waves and waves of immigrants from all over the world would solidify New York's reputation as the wildest place in the world, where you could see beautiful women from all corners of the globe. Throughout the 19th century, brothels were all over New York and its boroughs and completely unregulated. To some people, the widespread lawless pleasure-seeking and partying was leading the city towards a crisis of morality and public health. But by the same token, it was pretty hard to find a public official or law enforcement officer who didn't have some level of, um, sympathy for what was going on in the brothels.

By the 1920s, during the prohibition era, the city finally figured out how it was going to regulate nudity and sex in public spaces, introducing laws that started to give shape to today's modern sex club landscape. It was also around this time that the first gay resorts and bath houses started to appear in a few parts of the city. By the later 20th century, sex clubs and strip joints were flourishing across New York, a combination of economic factors and growing liberal attitudes about sex in public. The 70s and 80s were a golden era for swingers clubs, gay bars and saunas in New York. The stories of decadence and debauchery are absolutely legendary. Of course, under Rudy Giuliani and his various policies to "crack down" on issues of morality, a number of venues were forced to close, or significantly restructure their operations. The Giuliani era left us with the much disliked "60/40 rule," which means that 60% of a space housing a sex spot must be devoted to a non sex-related business. For this reason, it's not uncommon to head out to a strip club that's also a steakhouse, or some similar configuration.

Once you factor in the real estate boom that's happened in New York since the mid-2000s, you have even more places being forced to close. The New York of today has far less clubs than other times in its past, which is a bit of bummer. The good news, though, is that the clubs it has now are well established and world class. They're too big to fail, basically. It's a different world nowadays when it comes to sex and swinging, and in New York that means that much of what's out there is a tried and true institution.

Best Times To Go Out And Days To Go Out In New York City

nyc03

If you want a sure thing, guaranteed great sex party, sex club, or sex event in New York City to go to, you'll probably want to try for later in the week. Obviously New York is a 24 hour city, with something for everyone at anytime. Nevertheless, if you want to maximize your chances (especially as a couple), go for the weekend. More events, more people: you do the math. Also, if going all night is part of the plan, everything's open way later on the weekend. All this matters less if you're a dude looking for other dudes. The two big saunas are open 24/7, and the middle of the work week is an amazing time to meet a lot of people and get a lot of action. And of course, if you're just wandering solo and curious, there are tons of great strip joints to check out.

NYC Sex Clubs: Directory

Caligula New York

Type
Adult social club
Space
Intimate male club and lounge
Crowd
College to middle aged
Address
40-19 20th Ave, Astoria, NY 11105, USA
Website
Any Notes
Open Wed and Thurs 9 pm to 3 am, Fri 10 pm to 4 am, Sat 9:30 pm to 4 am
Brief Description
OK, the consensus among both New Yorkers and the country's most hardened (heh) sex travelers is that this is the premier sex club in the city. Caligula's got sublimely upscale digs, with no detail left unnoticed in terms of decor and ambiance. This might be the nicest couch you've ever sat on while watching your spouse get double-teamed. That being said, Caligula specializes a little more in the quality of its private rooms than group play areas. We might be splitting hairs a little, though -- there is basically hot action everywhere you look at Caligula. They've got a more artful and erotic approach to the business, and it shows especially in their event programming. Just remember that's BYOB, although they have a lot of non-alcoholic mixer drinks available.

Checkmate

Type
Couples lifestyle club
Space
Medium-sized adult club with lounge, play areas and private rooms
Crowd
All ages from college and 30s
Address
227 East 56th Street (lower level), New York, NY 10022, USA
Website
Any Notes
Street parking near the venue; open Fri and Sat 9 pm to 4:30 am
Brief Description
New York swingers have a wide range of opinions about their local sex clubs, and Checkmate is perhaps a little divisive. Some of the older crowd are a bit more wary, because it seems to be trying too hard to be cool. The truth is, though, that it's just really fun to come here, and if it's preoccupied with anything, it's making each night a hot, fun-soaked party. There's full bar service here, and things are pretty evenly split between public and private setups. There are impressive playroom options in both cases. Bring your partner and pass them around, or shack up and go to work in private, surrounded by others who are doing the same.

Bowery Bliss

Type
Adult entertainment club
Space
Medium sized adult club
Crowd
College to middle aged
Address
158 Bowery, New York, NY 10012, USA
Website
Any Notes
Open 10 pm to 4 am most nights
Brief Description
Bowery Bliss is well loved by longtime regulars, and its reputation among travelers has grown a lot in recent times. Unlike some of the other clubs that lean a little more toward the private rooms, this is probably the best place in the city to get lost in a tangle of bodies for the night. There are dance and play areas across three floors of space at this venue, plenty of spots to swap partners, pair up with new friends, or just relax and watch a show for a while. It's a big place, but more modest in terms of decor than some of the "upscale" sex clubs. That's all fine and good, but a pretty stacked event calendar, and a slightly more relaxed dress code, makes Bowery Bliss the people's choice.

Labyrinth

Type
Swingers club
Space
loft space with play areas and VIP space
Crowd
mostly 30s and up
Address
114B E 31st St, New York, NY 10016, USA
Website
Any Notes
Open Mon, Wed, Thurs 9 pm - 2 am, Fri 9 am - 3 am, Sat 9 pm - 4 am
Brief Description
Labyrinth prides itself on being set apart from other swingers clubs in the city. For one, it's in a more private loft-style setting, which automatically gives it a bit more of a "50 Shades" nod toward a certain blend of classiness and erotica. The club also prides itself on taking a more intense approach to the swinging lifestyle, and their events (many of which are hosted by their affiliated swingers network, Subspace) often facilitate group activity or mass play. By no means is it limited to that, though! At Labyrinth they pride themselves on offering a fix for whatever your kink is.

West Side Club

Type
Gay sauna
Space
Gay sauna with bar
Crowd
All ages college and up
Address
27 W 20th St, New York, NY 10011, USA
Website
Any Notes
Open 24 hours; some paid parking is found near the sauna
Brief Description
Well, this makes it easy: there are basically two gay saunas in New York City, and they're named in the most straightforward way possible. They're also run by the same organization, and while there are some differences, you probably want to make your decision mostly on which part of town you're planning to be in. True to standard protocol, this sauna is open 24 hours, but it doesn't have the feel that some bathhouses have, that you could stay for days (in theory, at least). It's more oriented around a night (and maybe morning after) of going pretty hard. You won't have trouble meeting dudes here, anyway.

East Side Club

Type
Gay sauna
Space
Gay sauna with bar
Crowd
All ages through college and up
Address
227 E 56th St, New York, NY 10022, USA
Website
Any Notes
Paid parking can be found nearby; open 24 hours
Brief Description
If you're on the east side, you probably want to go here instead of the west side club. Unless you really like west side boys? Look, it's obviously up to you, but just remember what we said above, that picking one of New York's two bath houses is primarily a matter of where you're located. Both of these places have rooms and lockers for cheap, free towels and robes, and satisfying shower and spa options. There's also lots of group play spaces and, oh yeah, a ton of hot naked dudes. Prance through one of the lounges, slink along a dark corridor, or just relax and take in the show.

Vivid Cabaret

Type
Adult entertainment nightclub
Space
Lounge and bar with large stage
Crowd
All ages college and up
Address
61 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018, USA
Website
Any Notes
Open Mon to Fri 11 am to 4 am, Sat 6 pm to 4 am, Sun 7 pm to 4 am
Brief Description
We don't write about topless venues too much because we know you've probably come here looking for a swinging experience. This place deserves special mention, however, for being an especially accommodating for couples. There's a lot about the decor of the place, and the overall mood of the show, that offsets the feeling of it being a sausage party. It's classy, the drinks are good, and the dancers are unbelievably hot. Easily the most beautiful women you'll encounter in the Big Apple. And many of them are friendly too! Don't be afraid to say hello if you see them hanging out after their performance.

Peyton's Gentleman's Club

Type
Strip club
Space
Bar with stage and lounge area
Crowd
College to middle aged and up
Address
3901 2nd Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11232, USA
Any Notes
Open Tues through Sat 12 pm to 4 am, Sun 8 pm to 4 am. Closed on Mondays.
Brief Description
This place makes the list for being the place the locals have always gone to. It used to be on a block full of clubs, but is the only one that remains, and anyone who's gone will tell you that it's the real deal without all kinds of extra trappings and marked-up costs. Everything about this place is chill, the women are beautiful and come from all over the world, the bar offers drinks and pub food, and the regulars are super friendly. You can find all kinds of strip clubs in different parts of town, but if you want the New Yorkiest of New York experiences, this is where you want to come.
