I'm kinda new to this whole scene and really want to delve deeper into clubs but really suffer from crippling confidence around new people. I went to chams last Friday during the day to enquire about joining up but didn't even make it to the front door. I know I'd be cool once I'd gotten over the initial nerves but as I've heard a million times the first step is the most difficult.
Any tips anyone or anyone willing to a acompany me for my first time into clubs.
Thank you all |

Walking into a club is no different than walking into a pub...
in not sure how to help you as i dont see the problem with walking through a door to a building |

Have to admit that we were seriously nervous the first time we walked into a club, as someone has already mentioned put your name down for an organized social!  |

Ladies not everyone has your self-assured nature, although it could equally be insecurity that leads to attacking someone for lack of confidence. It's probably not actually the door that is the problem but im sure you know thatthat
Im guessing it's the social interactions and going in to a venue full of people on your own that's scary.
I have terrible nerves before meets or going to clubs and I drive my OH mad with the shaking, verbalising fears etc.
The only encouragement I can give is that I've gone through with it every time and nothing awful happened.
As someone else suggested a local social might be a good start. Everyone is there to talk so less chance you'll feel a spare part.
If you're polite, respectful and let your personality out im sure you'll get there.
Oh and although im not condoning drinking a single alcoholic drink might leave you sufficiently relaxed to mingle.

"I know I'd be fine after the initial nerves, I've been in bands for years and played in front of hundreds of people so this should be easy"
I'm sorry if I got you wrong from your original post you said you didn't even make it to the door to enquire about membership, so I can't imagine how it would be different to go in and play, as for chams I believe there is a waiting list for single male memberships so I would give them a call or email them about getting on the waiting list |

I'm afraid of flying...I mean shaking, sobbing uncontrollably on take off valium popping afraid...do I let it stop me doing the things I want to do? No...asking myself what's the worst that could happen doesn't really work in that scenario isn't much help but in other things in life, that's the question I generally ask...going to a swinging club on your own for the first time? What is actually the worst that could happen? Will you die? Be hideously disfigured? Lose everything? Or is there an outside chance nobody will want to have casual sex with you? Does that put it into perspective for you? |

Why dont you try a spa before a club.....go with the idea of just chilling in hot tub and get used to the atmosphere of being around like minded people?
You,ll find out despite being sexual deviants that the people you meet will be from all walks of life, a club is no different from a pub or restaurant, full of strangers who in this case may just be naked, no ones going to expect anything from you and the word no can be used by you if youre not comfortable..
Go on fella get youre arse through the door....dispell the myths you have and go enjoy

New paradise club hold regular socials, it's a small friendly club which is less daunting than the larger clubs, and can vouch the regulars are a chatty friendly bunch |

A lot of clubs hold socials organised by someone on here, check out the swinging clubs section in the forum and see if there's one you fancy. Put your name down and just go for it, its a good way to try somewhere without needing membership up front.
If you do decide to go to a social get there early so you can get your bearings before they get busy.
Once there be polite and friendly, chat to people but don't go with expectations and just enjoy the event. If you do get the chance to play then its a bonus.
Hope that helps. |

Thinking of trying Jaydees for the first time on Friday 14th. Is it a good choice for a single guy? Its been a while since I tried the club scene and thought I would try as fairly handy for Peterborough. I know every night is different but 'on average' are single guys welcome on Friday nights at Jaydees? |
