Everyone sees you trolling the net looking to sabotage
other parties! But you can't hide the truth can you?

I went to three or four SINsation parties and talked to dozens of others who
share my viewpoints, so my review is accurate. To sum it up, SINsation is
complete shit. The party is hosted at Carousel Club on W36th Street, which is a
complete shit-hole. There is no selectivity at all. Anyone who contacts them
is put on the guest list. How do I know? I recently contacted SINsation from a
fake email address I created and submitted a picture of a nasty couple I found
online. Yes, I was accepted. Most of the couples are middle aged and range
from below average to average looks. Part of SINsations' advertising is always
"40+ couples." I NEVER saw 40 couples, or anything close to those numbers at
their parties. In fact, the crowd was typically pretty small – a dozen or so
couples, many of whom leave.
The hosts of the party, if you can even call them that, Chris and Flo, exert
absolutely no effort and it shows. The one thing that SINsation does is provide
a complimentary mixed drink to guests. Yes, other than the drink, this is
exactly like any other night at Carousel Club, a terrible crowd at a terrible
place. It might actually be worse considering that the majority of the couples
attending are new and too scared to have any fun, or even talk to anyone. For
most of the night everyone will be on the sides of Carousel Club like its a
middle school dance. Very few couples ever play at SINsation because the vibe
is just awful and the couples aren't very attractive. Not as bad as the crowd
at Le Trapeze, but at least there is action at Trapeze!
So how does SINsation even exist? Why would anyone go there? I attempted to
find that out for myself. At the last party I went to, a few months back, I
tried to talk to some of the couples attending. Pretty much everyone had found
out about SINsation from Craigslist. A few couples had attended a party before,
and hoped that this party would be better than the last. I also found out that
if you hassle the owner of Carousel enough, you can get your money back. I did
:)
So that's the strategy. Using Craigslist to lure in a steady supply of new
members with attractive advertising and slogans like "Be a part of what everyone
is talking about."
But then, before writing this post, I tried to find out more. I browsed the
SINsation website and found out that Chris and Flo have run SINsation events for
a few years now. They're milking the SINsation "reputation" for as much as it
is worth — essentially beating a dead horse. At some point, SINsation might
have been half decent. Old flyers reveal that they held events at places like
Pacha, Green Room, Sutra, Kemia, Oz, and Azaza. Of course, all those parties
would have been off-premise without any sex allowed.
So, what happened? Why is SINsation so SHITsational? My guess is that hosting
at Carousel Club is just easy money for SINsation. They don't have to do
anything except post on Craigslist and maybe a few swinger sites and gather up a
few couples (there has NEVER been close to the advertised 30-40 couples per
party that SHITsation claims). Bring in a few grand worth of business and get a
nice return sounds like a great plan, though. Carousel Club seems pretty
dependent on parties like SINSation to draw in a crowd for Saturday nights,
where it fails miserably to places like Checkmate and Trapeze. I guess the old
man who runs Carousel Club doesn't realize how easily he could do the exact same
thing as these groups do.
So, my advice is to stay FAR AWAY from SINsation… it SUCKS! Again, one of the
WORST parties out there… It's not worth even half of the admission price they
charge, and it's always a dud.
Earlier this year we attended a NY Swingers Party event at Carousel on a Monday
night. The location is not very large, consisting of a lounge area with a small
juice bar, a voyeur play area, a bedroom, and a couple of small play rooms.
Because we visited Carousel months ago I will leave out the specifics and get
right down to the nitty-gritty.
The night we attended Couples were free. Single men had to pay a hundred dollars
to attend. We met a young attractive couple who we had chemistry with. They were
a bit shy so instead of playing in one of the smaller play areas or the voyeur
play area we chose to play in the bedroom which had a solid door. The other
couple wanted the door shut so we shut it.
About fifteen minutes into us all playing the manager of Carousel came barging
in and told us the door had to remain open. The couple we were playing with
immediately stopped playing, got dressed, and left Carousel.
We asked the manager why the door had to remain open.
He told us that he was scared single men in attendance would begin to ask for a
refund if they did not get to watch.
There were no signs anywhere that indicated the door needed to remain open and
we found it very disrespectful for anyone to come barging into a room where
people are playing and the door is closed. He could easily have waited until we
finished playing and asked us to keep the door open in the future or even at the
very least knocked before barging in.
We have never gone back to Carousel again, nor do we ever plan on going back.
We ONLY want to spend time in venues where those that run it care about the
comfort and safety of the couples in attendance and not the bottom line.
The only thing we expect when we pay an admission fee to a club or party is to
have the opportunity to meet open minded people like ourselves, NOT to be
guaranteed either a sex show or sex itself.
Carousel clearly only cares about one thing and that is money and we hope this
review causes them to lose some because greed has no place in the lifestyle.

Wow...that's so weird that place was like that. It's as if the couples were the
"bait" to get the single males to pay $100.00 to get in. Once the couples got in
for "free", they ended up paying their entry fee by being forced to keeping the
door open and allowing these single guys to watch couples having sex. To this
company one hand washes the other. That club is very sneaky. I never have been
there nor will I EVER go there. Thanks for the review. Take care, Virgineyez10.

We do not recommend Carousel Club. We went there one year ago and attended a
party on Saturday. Its not a club but a large apt in Manhattan. They do however
charge more than a swingers club without the luxury.
Lucky enough we made friends with a cpl from Brazil and wound up going to
their place to play. - Dennis
