Half a million from the National Development Plan Went to a swingers club 😀 – Sławomir Mentzen, leader of Poland’s second largest opposition party
And then there are swingers clubs—Such as the one subsidized by the KPO and praised:
Almost everything was perfect. I think there should be a dress code at the entry. Textile workers in the bar area are a mistake. Despite this, I highly recommend this club.
Great party. It took me a whole week to recover... I needed a doctor’s note.
Swingers clubs are private adult establishments where adults explore relations and eroticism in a group setting with consent—The activity is legal as long as sanitary, order, and licensing requirements are met, as in other establishments. In Poland, this is a name market—also the presence of such places in large cities and online is notable, the scale is limited, and controversies often origin from taboos and social emotions, not from mass popularity.
