| We went to xtasia on Friday and Saturday last, our first visits for about 12 months. We had never been on a singles allowed night before so did not really know what to expect.
On Friday(singles allowed) there were only about 10 couples and 10 single guys in there. The place was dead really and we watched the odd couple going into the upstairs darkroom and six or eight singles charging in after them. The couples stayed in there no more than 10 seconds before exiting hastily followed by the same singles who went back to their vantage points seemingly waiting in ambush. That said we did meet a nice guy who actually took the trouble to sit with us and talk for a while without any pressure etc. It was a pleasure to have fun with him later.
On the Saturday there were not many more couples there, and of course, no singles... or so you would think. We did meet a lovely couple and had some fun with them. We also had some fun in the darkroom. Sadly the memory of the evening was spoiled a little by two "couples" who, how can we put it?.... ok..., the women were not interested in being touched or touching let alone playing. One couple, a black guy and his "partner" who we had seen on our visit 12 months ago acting the same, went into the dark room where the guy played with the women there but his "partner" pushed away every guy that went near her... They followed us around hoping that he could have more fun but once E had seen that the other lady wasnt playing she decided that it was too much one way traffic and felt a bit miffed that they were there on a couples evening when, for all intents and purposes he was a single guy playing on his own having a woman with him just to watch. Talking to another couple it would appear that this is a regular occurence with them
The other "couple" were just a bloke playing and his "partner" calling over telling him what he could and could not do with the other ladies present. Again, why did they not attend on a Friday which would have been more appropriate?
That said we do enjoy the club and will go again as the couple we met on Saturday and the single guy we met on Friday were very nice people and if you read this, you will know who you are, so thanks for a nice evening.
We were very surprised at the low turnout on both evenings, but, suppose it could have something to do with the recession or the holiday period. In the past we have been there whjen the club was overful, but we are led to believe that the attendances are falling. Always happy to discuss
