Probably read it before you read this. Okay? Cool.

You read the original review, right? Great. So this is an updated review of Whispers, almost exactly one year after our first visit (the 2022 Red Party). It's not a great review. I don't want to burn anybody down and I'm not trying to be overly critical but things felt really bad this weekend and I think it's worth it for people to see both sides of the coin. As I said, we went to the red party last year. Went for the night, stayed all weekend. What a fantastic experience. It got us into the lifestyle and we feel so lucky to have had the privilege. Cut to one year later. We're in town for a much needed vacation. We went back this weekend and...it was weird. Bad. Weirdbad. Friday was alright, we had some good conversations and even committed (unsuccessfully but w/e) to our first swap, but Saturday night felt terrible. The vibe was really weird and unfriendly, bordering on hostile. In contrast to our first several visits last summer, there to be staffing problems, drama among the regulars, hostility in the play areas, and on top of that the damn AC is busted although that's nobody's fault. Read on.

Friday night

Friday night was interesting. We got there at 9 and caught the eye of a regular couple who were very hot and also nice/funny. Some drinks, chatting, some intros, the girls got their tits out and did karaoke, all good stuff. After an hour or so of this I was getting sort of bored so we went out for a smoke. We stepped out of our comfort zone and made a soft swap ask and got...sort of shut down? Unclear but whatever they said, it wasn't "fuck yes" so we said thanks for a good convo and went and fucked each other's brains out in the rabbit hole and orgy room until like 2 am. All in all not a terrible night. More watchers than players, but that's still hot. We did some fun parallel play, too. Got a few play offers (and an un-consented to touching) but otherwise stuck to each other for the night. Then I got a mondo headache and we went back to our hotel.

Saturday night

Wow. So. Saturday night felt like shit! People were being really weird. Nobody would even talk to us (feels bad man) so we just took our drinks into the rabbit hole and played together. We were there for a long time and only two couples even came in and played, which is precisely as many apparently unaccompanied men as they had to remove from the room over the same period of time. Lots and lots of people poking their head in the door but almost none of them wanted to play, even with each other it seems. We heard a few people fucking in the big room, and that was pretty much it. Meanwhile, the karaoke/bar/dance floor was packed all night, and the pool was fairly busy as well. This was all kind of a bummer to us. Not just the lack of hot fucking but more implicitly the feeling like we were alone in a crowd. Like have you ever been invited to a party by a mutual, and when you get there people are like uhhhh...hi?, like they never actually expected you to show up? Very crappy feeling!!

So anyways we spent the balance of the evening in the rabbit hole. Not a lot of action there or anywhere. We were there for most of the night, and while we had a great time fucking each other, nobody else was playing. Bummer. Later in the night we found ourselves very unexpectedly on the recieving end of some really fucking rude and hostile behavior from a group of regulars which really really turned us the fuck off.

So, yeah, to sum up, one year on it seems like the club has changed for the worse. They don't have enough people working, the regulars have drama, there's Mean Girls shit happening in the play areas and the balance of activities is tilting towards socializing for locals instead of sex. Topless Cheers, if you will, which sounds like fun but it's actually kind of weird and alienating when nobody cares to even ask for your name. On top of that we got gang Karened by grown ass adults who can't ask for what they want. Just bad vibes all around. If this had been our first trip I wouldn't be going back.

Now, the critical question - would I still recommend Whispers to a first timer?

Probably, yeah, with caveats. I think this can be a great environment for newcomers, because it was for us. That's why this updated review is so hard to write. Our great experience last summer got us into the lifestyle and we're happy for it and our relationship is better for it. If our first event had gone poorly we might not have even bothered. And I can't fault an entire venue or community because we had one bad (pretty fucking bad) experience which is at least 1% our fault. So, newcomers: read the original review, then read this, and then ask some other people how it's been for them. If it's true that the place is falling apart, big fat hot red light. If it was just us, or just one bad night with no AC, mellow yellow light.

Not changing my original review. I have no doubt that this can be a great place for newbies still.
