A German friend of mine recently asked if I'd ever been to a swingers-club. He knows I frequent the legal-brothels of Germany and Austria, and we've shared quite a few stories. Before he got married, he had a similar past. But, until he posed the question, I'd never really thought about it.

I'm actually pretty shy... a bit of a late-bloomer. I lost my virginity to a provider at the age of 38. That was over ten years ago, and I've done everything I can to make up for lost-time. I'm pretty open, and I want to try everything I can. Since he asked this question, I can't get the thought out of my head.

I'll be in Vienna later this year, and am considering a visit to one of the many swinger-clubs in the city. I'm still doing my research, so I don't really have any specific questions as of yet. I always like to understand what I'm getting into before-hand. So, I suppose if anyone has any general advice for a nervous newbie, feel free.
