Can anyone attend OPP?
While we do strive to create an inclusive and non-judgmental atmosphere, there are some limitations to who can attend our private events. We are in no way elitist snobs, but unfortunately we do have to turn away some individuals who are interested in attending. Our private parties are designed for select couples and single women who have been screened and approved based on certain standards we are looking to maintain. If we are unable to accept you for an event, either because it is sold out or for other reasons, please do not be discouraged from asking for admittance to another event in the future. One of our main goals for entering – and staying in - this lifestyle, is to make friends; so we certainly don’t want to cause any hurt feelings. Also, with our apologies, unapproved persons, single men and people under the age of 21 are not allowed.

Do people have sex at OPP private parties?
Sex can occur at just about any type of party, although most other types of parties are not usually sexually themed. OPP private events are sexually themed. What this means is that our event accords guests the opportunity to meet like-minded people in a sensual environment and, if interested, act upon their attractions. Sex and/or sexual acts are neither required nor promised at our events, but - by attending - guests acknowledge that they may see nudity and/or sexual acts. To accommodate guests who may be uncomfortable viewing nudity and/or sexual acts, we have designated the Mixing Room as a no-sex/no-nudity area, and expect guests to respect that and keep all play within the designated group and private play areas.

How should I dress for OPP?
When we come together at an OPP private party, we are all responsible to present ourselves in a way that maintains or enhances the sensual atmosphere. We do not promote ‘dress theme’ parties that require guests to spend money buying specific clothing in order to ‘fit in’, but we also do not want people who are not dressed attractively to spoil the atmosphere for other guests who are. Therefore, guests are expected to arrive looking attractive and presentable, and we reserve the right to deny admission – without refund - to people who are not respectful of this request. We are counting on all guests to contribute to the hottest atmosphere possible! Dress to impress. (Although guests are expected to arrive looking sexy, they may change into more non-public/provocative outfits once they have entered.)

Is alcohol provided at OPP?
We are not a club or a bar; therefore we do not have a license to provide liquor and will not do so. Guests are encouraged to bring their own alcohol (BYOB) to our private events. We will attach a label to your alcohol with your name, store it for you, make it available to you when you want it, and provide glasses and any non-alcoholic mixers, etc. free of charge. Guests will be asked to show identification at the door indicating that they are at least 21 years of age.

Is OPP a swingers event?
You can call OPP a swingers party if you like, but we like to consider it a private erotic event. Not everyone who attends such events are swingers; some are swingers, some are interested in learning more about the lifestyle, and some are just plain curious. No one likes to be pigeonholed, so we refuse to do that to our guests. Suffice it to say that our guests are people who have interest in erotic settings and/or activities.

Is there an OPP membership fee or a group to join?
Absolutely not. We are not interested in creating a clique. We sincerely hope that guests meet other guests with whom they find great mutual interest, and that they create relationships which bring them long-lasting joy; but we’ll leave that up to them. As far as fees, the only money exchanged is the donations couples and single women make before arriving. So leave your wallets (not your ID) at home!

What about privacy?
Perhaps the most pressing concern of people who are interested in attending events like these is privacy. As veterans of ‘the lifestyle’, we are sensitive to this concern, and promise that the privacy of our guests, as far as it is within our control, will be closely guarded. This means that your screen name(s), your real name(s), and any other personal information that you share with us will stay with us only, and will not be disseminated to anyone else. We also work hard to ensure that our location allows you to arrive and depart inconspicuously, and enjoy a safe and private venue to explore your fantasies.

What does the donation cover?
Donations that guests make before attending an OPP private event are used to offset the costs of the event. It’s no different than ‘chipping in’ at a friend’s Super Bowl party. You are attending the private party and are therefore contributing to the costs. Obviously the donation is not an agreement to provide you with alcohol or any sexual favors. We greatly appreciate your donations and promise to make it a very worthwhile investment. In fact, we guarantee our guests will enjoy their experiences at OPP!

Is the amount of the donation fixed?
No, it is not. Because it is crucial for us to know exactly how many people will be attending each event (for catering plans, etc.), a special price is offered up until the Monday before the event. The donation amount increases the Monday before the event, so email us now at swingingisfun4all@yahoo.com before the rate increases.

What are the options for making my donation?
We have made this a quick and simple process by choosing PayPal*** for all transactions. By using PayPal, you can also feel confident that this is a secure and protected transaction. And, of course, with PayPal you can safely use your bank account, credit or debit card, or PayPal account. We are proud to say that we are PayPal Premier account-holders for over 5 years, with an excellent reputation and over 600 positive verifications.

Confirmation of your donation will be made by a message sent to your email account. Any such email communications will be made under the subject line of "Poughkeepsie Event", in order to protect your confidentiality.
***If you are not familiar with PayPal, please go to PayPal.com and you will find this method to be very simple and easy!

Where is OPP located?
OPP is conveniently located in Poughkeepsie, New York. We have a very elegant location which is simple and easy to travel to. We are a quick 5 minute walk from the Poughkeepsie train station and located just off the Mid-Hudson Bridge. Ample parking is located nearby, as well as some great bars and restaurants and the scenic majesty of the Hudson River. Complete directions are furnished to approved guests before an event, and after their donations are received.

Is this a nightclub or a house?
Actually, it's neither one. We have secured a large, multi-room 2-floor apartment space which is ideal for lifestyle parties, and allows for a club-like vibe. It's an elegantly designed space which, as you may have seen in our description, allows us to provide multiple playrooms for private and public play, as well as a space for mingling. Basically, this allows us the classiness of a lifestyle club, without the lack of privacy and 'cattle-call mentality' that occurs at bar events. We are very excited for people to see what we've envisioned. As veterans of the lifestyle, we have been to 'house parties' before where essentially we were at a person's home with a lot of other couples. We want people to know that is not what we are creating here. You won't be seeing family portraits on the wall and children's toys on the floors! This space was chosen specifically for its potential as a lifestyle club, so that is how it will appear for our guests; just like a private lifestyle club.

Are there rules at OPP?
Yes. Please see our Rules page.

Are cameras allowed at OPP?

As stated on our Rules page, cameras – including cell phones with cameras - are not allowed to be used at OPP. We are sensitive to the fact that some guests may need to carry their phones into the event (to be available for calls from babysitters, children, etc.), and this is permissible as long as there is no use of an integrated camera and the guest agrees to keep the phone on vibrate. Of course, the restriction on cameras is to protect the privacy and confidentiality of all guests at our events, so we appreciate your understanding!
