The wife and I are experienced swingers with all types of heterosexual exploits on the books, just to give you some perspective.

We visited Paradise before their original closing and are looking forward to going back when we visit in May. We did enjoy the club and had a nice time. I believe it was a Friday night. Found the ratio of couples to single men about what one would expect - way more singles than couples. That's not a problem for us, but we did find the lack of couples a bit disappointing. However, we did hit it off we a single guy or 4 and a good time was had by all. We found the club to be clean with ample plays areas and an overall great vibe.

We visited Fata last fall on a Saturday. Nice place, lots of play areas, only couples. What we found interesting was while there was a bunch of sex going on, almost exclusively it appeared to be couples with their own significant others, no noticeable swinging going on. The only opportunities that seemed to present themselves were soft swap only. Not our thing. We would almost classify our experience as pure voyeurism. Not that we didn't enjoy each other, but probably won't be visiting again.

We guess we've progressed to hard core swingers. It's more about sex than partying.

We love the city and all it has to offer. Can't wait to hit the weed, the Wallen, Paradise, and a few of our favorite watering holes such as Cafe Pleinzicht on Oudezijds Voorburgwal.

It would be interesting to hear a local perspective.

Cheers.

We have been to Paradise also before it was rebuilt , yes lots of single men but we have always found couples to play with ............
Last time we were at Paradise we met a really good looking couple but all he wanted to do was watch his wife get fucked . My DW got very pissed off

Fata Morgana's for us has always been great . We are a mature couple so we always go on Sundays and everyone seems to play . We even played with a judge and his wife from Amsterdam . We can honestly say we have met some great people at both clubs. We prefer FM by far over Paradise. Years ago we used to go to the Candy Club. We were at FM one evening and they pulled us into the Dark Room , we ended partying with a waitress and her husband from the Candy Club.

Was in showboat last year on a black on white night was great fun, not sure how the paradise will be this year.
We never liked fata to far our and also found them very sticking to them self. maybe just us but funfor know us and we are not shy people.

Pat and Mary are not shy people , it might have been a bad night . We went one time with another couple and they said the same as what Pat has said. . We might try the Showboat this year or the Sameplace .

Only thing can try paradise anytime easy to get to, can walk if you take the boat easy to get back to town if quiet.

Showboat was 40 euro using their own taxi last year each way ok if sharing . last Friday of mth is black and white night good if looking for black cock.

To give an update...

We went to Paradise 2 Saturday evenings ago as well as Sunday evening. Didn't really recall seeing any modifications to the actual building or decor.

Saturday was about 90% single guys and 10% couples. Huge crowd IMO. We had a great time, but never hooked up with a couple. All the single guys were reasonably respectful and never once had to be asked to 'cover up'. Ms. Vaitape had the pleasure of servicing around 22 guys best I can recall.

Sunday was a very small crowd, a few single guys and a few couples. We didn't stay too long as the opportunity for anything but a repeat of Saturday seemed to be the only option.

Would we go back? Yes, as we enjoy the gangbang aspect.

Looks as if we may venture to Fun4Two on our next trip as well.
