The Local newsletter is your free, daily guide to life in Colorado. For locals, by locals. Sign up today! But fear not: These folks are merely carrying on our venerable tradition of debauchery. Denver was founded and developed by a motley coterie of adventurers, vagabonds, charlatans, and whores who flocked to this once-lawless oasis, lured by the siren song of the boundless West and the infinite riches it claimed to offer. Our present-day sinnersβand by no means do we mean to judge hereβwork, live, and play among us, residing not on the fringe, but firmly in the mainstream; hell, they might even be people you know.
And while these folks may make buttoned-up Denver blush, we maintain that their daring, unconventional ways make life, in what can sometimes be a disconcertingly vanilla town, a whole lot more colorful and compelling.
So open your eyes, open your mind, and take a peek. We hope you enjoy the ride. Denver has become a surprising mecca for swingers, so much so that Bob and Carol started their own company, Sweets Entertainment, to stage local lifestyle gatherings.
MYTH: Swinger gatherings always morph into crazy orgies. MYTH: Swingers tend to come from a lower socioeconomic bracket.
REALITY: Many swingers are successful professionals who look notably younger than their ages, largely because swinging puts such a premium on staying fit. I graduated from Smith College and was a junior high English teacher and Hollywood scriptwriter before becoming a stripper at age I always wanted to dance. Some of the girls feel shame about stripping. But you have to pay the club to work there and share tips with the DJ, the house mom, the door guy, the valet.
