Re “All laid out,” City, June 19: Going to Ménage à Quatre is like going to an upscale private country club. The only difference is that the food is better and the affairs are openly acknowledged. But that does not mean Toronto is becoming Amsterdam, as Paul Gallant writes. If it is changing, it is becoming more like Paris. In Amsterdam, sex is a commodity to be bought and sold. In Paris, sex is a celebration of life and freedom.
Toronto is becoming a world class city that welcomes the diversity of the people who live here.
It is a change for the better...

We’ve been members of Wicked Club since the Supreme Court ruling legalized “swinging.” Since the beginning, we’ve noticed a definite shift in their clientele. Of course they still have full-fledged “swingers” there, only now, they also have mainstream couples who go simply to spice up their love lives. The lifestyle is becoming more mainstream, which is a good thing. In fact, Wicked doesn’t even bill itself as a “Swingers Club,” they call themselves a “Hedonistic Club.” If all you want to do is watch others “dirty dance” on the main floor, that’s OK. If you’d like to have sex with your partner (or simply watch others), then go upstairs and have fun! There are no hard and fast rules on “the lifestyle.” Once you experience it, at whatever your comfort level, you become hooked. Whether it’s Wicked Club, or any other hedonistic club, we encourage others to try it at least once. The experience is truly liberating!

Toronto is Swingtown? Believe it! Oh, not in the campy, uncertain style of the TV show, but in the grown-up, confident style of a world-class city. Toronto not only has open “swingers” clubs, it has a variety of clubs reflecting the mature diversity of its population — clubs like Ménage à Quatre and Club Hers for adults, Wicked for the entertainment-district crowd, and Goodhandys for the alternatives (now that’s “hedonistic”).
