Wow! We came out for our first visit
last Friday, and "Frisky Friday" is an understatement. We had a blast.
It was everything we had hoped it would be and more. We were a little
leery because your literature said Fridays were a smaller group, but it
turned out once the doors locked it was a perfect size. We weren't sure
how we would feel when it came right down to getting it on in front of
other people, I guess we were worried that people would stare rudely or
something like that. But everyone's casual and sexy attitude was
perfect. Actually I'm sure it was more a matter of they were equally
busy themselves, and that also added to the whole experience as well.
We waited a long time (too long!)
to come out for our first visit, our next one will be much sooner!

Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful
evening/event! J & I were so relaxed and were so
comfortable! We truly met some great people - starting with
you! And I cannot say enough about Y and D! They were so
friendly, real, welcoming and warm! We look forward to attending
many more events. The majority of our summer weekends are spent
at the cottage since its such a short season to enjoy. We will
defintely be getting a membership towards the end of the summer.
However, as there are always rainy weekends we may be joining much
sooner!
Thank you again,
M & J (new first time couple)
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to
let you know that we didn't take your advice and made a big mistake.
When we took our membership out last month, you suggested that we
should take the Silver membership, but we decided to go for the 3 month
No-Frills membership instead. What we didn't realize was how much we
would enjoy your club and and how quickly and frequently we would want
to come back again. We only thought we would come out once or twice,
but we've already been out 3 times in the last six weeks and know we
will be back again next weekend, too! The cheaper admission of the
Silver membership would have been the better bet, as you told us, we
just didn't listen.
So, our question is, can we upgrade our membership? (ed note: yes you can!). The hard
decision we still have to make is should we move up to the Silver card
or should we go for the Gold? You really should post a warning: "Attending Club Eros
could be addictive and habit forming!" LOL

Off-Premise
(in theory)
Within five minutes of arriving, we wanted to leave. Good thing we
didn't -- it turned out to be our best club experience ever.
At first, we didn't like the music, we weren't thrilled with the
crowd and we wondered why the hell we made the long drive to an
industrial park somewhere near the Toronto airport. Slowly, but surely
our impressions changed. The beat of the music picked up, the dance
floor began to fill and we could sense passion in the air.
Soon, we met a very attractive, sensual couple and the real fun
began. Dancing, kissing, playing. Then we wound up on a couch and
quickly turned the off-premise club into an on-premise.
Founded in 1972, Club Eros is one of North America's oldest swingers
clubs. No other Canadian club has been around this long.
The club is highly organized. Request information and they will
send you reams of good stuff -- info about the club, info for newbies,
do's and don'ts etc.
Everyone we talked to was super-friendly, including the owners.
Real diverse crowd -- young, old, sexy, not-so-sexy. We met an
agricultural technician, a human resources professional and a factory
worker. You'll find no noses in the air here. Everyone is down to earth
and just looking to have a good time. We experienced no unwanted
touching. The night we went was a special bodypainting night. About 100
people attended. We're told they don't usually get this number of
people out, but we will return to find out. Drink prices were
reasonable.
PROS: Great place to really get to know another couple. Very, very
friendly, comfy place. Good dance floor. Great people. No single guys.
No jerks. Plenty of interesting people. Great bar staff. Listerine in
the bathroom!
CONS: Need a full-time DJ.
Bang for the Buck:
****1/2 out
of five. (That's 4.5
stars)
Cost: We didn't buy a membership, so admission was $30 a couple on
this Saturday night
(it's $40 if you
arrive after 9:15 p.m., I
believe). Memberships vary in price from $45 for a single woman
to $329
for gold card with free admission to dances. An $89 silver membership
gets you into dances for half price.
Our $30 cover included some snacks. Did not eat anything; too busy on
dance floor.
Odds that we will
return: 100 per cent.
When it's open: Every Friday and Saturday night. Fridays are called
Frisky Fridays. Check their website for more info:

time couple)
Thank you for the great time we had at
your club last weekend! We had been to a couple of other clubs and were
very disappointed and had pretty much given up on the club scene. One
of the other club owners actually put your club down very badly and
based on that we never bothered checking you out. However we recently
met a really great couple online and had a great time with them. They
are members at your club and they convinced us to come out as their
guests. We are so glad we did! We took a membership out that same
evening before we left and we WILL be back again soon. I wish we hadn't
listened to the negative crap that we got from the other club last year
and checked you out sooner. Your club is exactly what we have been
looking for. Everyone is friendly and sociable, not cliquish the
way they are elsewhere. The lesson we learned was don't believe
everything you hear, consider the source and then check it out for
yourself.

We just wanted you to know that everytime we do come it does get better
and easier. It was great. We had a great time and the
people we met were great. It does get easier and a little more
relaxed everytime we do come. We like the fact that we can really
be ourselves and that people don't judge us. We just wanted to
let you both know your're very nice people and you have a way of making
everyone feel at home and welcome. Thanks again for a great night
and we'll see you both again soon.

We would like to say that we would highly recommend your club!
The atmosphere was very different from the club we usually
attend. Very friendly and very social! We will definitely
be back and take out a membership. Really - the place is great.
We really appreciated the extra touches and obvious care for your
patrons. Thanks for a great evening,
H & J

club)
Thank you very much, we had a great
time. The club enviroment, as
well as the members, was by far excellent. We will consider taking up a
membership in the near future. We also appreciate you offering to
answer any questions we might have.....shows real concern for your
patrons which is probably why your club is so successful and why you
attract the "good"crowd that you do...we look forward to attending
again and Hope the club only gets better ...if that is possible.
Thanks Again

couple)
Thank you for a wonderful time last
Saturday night. It was like coming home, but better!

Dear
Ron & Wendy: Just thought I'd drop you a note to let you know that
we had a great time thanks to you and your wife and some of your great
regular couples. You guys treated us like royalty and
eased our nervousness and fears, which, as it turned out, were
unfounded. We
will certainly be buying a membership the very next weekend we attend
which
will be in two weeks time. We have talked about it and decided that we
will be
attending club Eros at least once a month and look forward to knocking
off a
whole lot of fantasies that we thought we would never have a chance to
fulfill.
Again thanks for the warm welcome and we will be seeing you again
shortly.
Sincerely
J & G. (new members)
Enclosed is our membership renewal. I
know it's been a couple of years since we were last out and our
membership last expired. Hopefully, we are welcome back after such a
long absence.
We haven't been inactive during the time between, but have checked out
most of the other clubs around ... thinking kind of like the old
proverb that the "grass is alway greener on the other side". We joined
one other club, only to have it close about 6 weeks later. We found a
couple of other clubs that seemed a lot busier and I guess we thought
that in itself, that would be better. Sadly we found that's not the
case. Sure it was busier, but full of single guys, couples who don't
swing, and lots of voyeurs who don't mingle, talk or do anything but
oogle. There was lots and lots of very young eyecandy, but none of them
were interested in a late 30's couple like ourselves. In summary, there
were more people, but less opportunity to swing. So after trying out
several other so-called swing clubs in town, we were left very
disappointed. We have decided that the best action was actually where
we first started out - at Club Eros.
So here is our application, renewal, or whatever you want to call it.
Hopefully you'll have us back after our long absence. It has been a
learning experience. I guess you could say "We've tried the rest, we're
coming back to the best!"

I just want to thank you for everything
- A and I had a great time on Saturday night and we are both very
excited to come again soon. We met some amazing people and were very
impressed with absolutely everything, and can't wait to return,
sporting white tags instead of orange ones! I only regret that we
arrived so late - we drove in from Kingston that afternoon and I had to
attend a highschool reunion downtown Toronto first. I would have also
liked to chat with the two of you some more (but there is always next time).
Thanks again, See you soon,
C & A (new members)
Thanks for the email! Both J and I had a wonderful time at the
club on Saturday night and enjoyed meeting all of the members that were
there. Everyone seemed so friendly and open to meeting new people.
Again I just want to let you know how much fun we had and we are
looking forward to coming out to another dance in the future.
