Against the Odds Couple

29 April 2011
My girlfriend and I are looking for a new erotic adventure and want to check out a couples night at the local bathhouse. What should we know before we walk in there? We really don’t know what to expect. We want an opportunity to pleasure each other with a supportive audience urging us on. We would also offer suggestions and encouragement to other couples eager to display their talents. 
We are a hetero couple and solely committed to each other. We are not looking for sex with other people. However, we are comfortable with our bodies and would like to show off in a safe and fun environment with like-​minded people. We are a fun-​loving couple of endurance athletes with crazy high libidos. We are eager to explore our sexual limits. Is this something we are likely to regret? Your advice would be invaluable.

After finally visiting the Oasis Aqualounge in Toronto last month in person (oasisaqualounge.com/blog/), I can officially give it the two bums up. I was with a very mixed group of friends and I feel like we all had a great time in our own ways.
Here are some things to expect:
1. Straight couples pay significantly more per visit than single women, though membership offers make repeat visits more economical. Day passes are 50 bucks per male-female couple versus 80 bucks at night, so if you want to go check it out when it’s a little quiet, you know, do a rehearsal of the equipment and maybe get some of your blocking and choreography down, that would be the time to do it. 
2. There are several creatively appointed rooms where you can show off your high-end libidos and, yes, there are other couples eager to do the same (“Birthday cake or watch couple fuck by the stripper pole?” was an option the last time I was there. Both, obviously). 
Ask before you gawk, grope or stand too close. If people are making you uncomfortable by not respecting your boundaries, do not be shy about telling them to back off. It’s also important to know that there will be people experiencing the same trepidation as you. Don’t assume that everyone’s an expert. Break the ice by being honest with others about your expectations. 
Sometimes a couple straying beyond the hallowed boundaries of conjugal decency get overwhelmed by feelings of guilt, shame and remorse, and this sets off a chain of events leading to their ruin. I think before you embark on an adventure like this, it would help to talk openly about the issue of regret, including the very basic concept of what it is and why we often attach it to situations in which we are inviting pleasure.
