Swingers club shut down in Seattle suburb after complaints from neighbors

[Queasy]

Link - Go on, you know you would.

DES MOINES ? Regan "Draco" Lane-Smith and "Naughty" Nonah Elliston outfitted their six-bedroom rental house with 15 mattresses, bondage crosses and sex swings. They built elaborate sets in their backyard for taking erotic photos.

And they promoted the Hardwood Cabin online.

Up to 60 guests at a time came to mingle, sunbathe nude by the pool and have sex with fellow swingers and fetishists, Elliston said. Parties were frequent enough that the couple's laundry service was cycling through 50 bedsheets a week.

But the couple shut down the sex club last month when they were cited for running a business without a license and threatened with fines of up to $513 a day.

City officials say naked or not, the couple had been warned that their activities violated zoning laws for their residential neighborhood. Large swingers groups aren't unusual locally, but they generally meet in commercial areas or hotels and not close to other homes.

The gatherings also led to several visits by police responding to neighbors' repeated complaints of noise and nudity.

Elliston and Lane-Smith say they're being persecuted for their lifestyle, and insist they didn't charge admission. They're looking for somewhere new to host parties. They say they should have the right to live their lives and use their property the way they see fit.

"We're happy hedonists," Elliston said. "As far as I know you're still allowed to throw a party in your house."

the best.

John Rosenstiel, who lives next door, estimated he has asked partygoers to move cars out of his driveway 15 times since January.

Rosenstiel is groundskeeper for the Hardwood Cabin and three adjacent properties, including his rental. Often he'd grab dinner at the Hardwood Cabin potlucks before the real partying began, he said. But Rosenstiel also found himself picking up condoms and hundreds of cigarette butts in a vacant property behind his home, he said.

"They've tried to be decent," Rosenstiel said. "With all that many people, you're going to lose control ... It was too much."

Many nights, Rosenstiel said, he left his TV on as he went to sleep to block out moaning and slapping noises.

"Once in a while it sounds like a raccoon dying," Rosenstiel said

:laugh:

Wow, why don't I ever get invited to these kinds of parties? Oh right, the smell.

 

[Throckmorton]

Why didn't he join in?

I'm all for the lifestyle, but come on, you really need to respect the rights of people around you. If you're going to do it, find a place to do it that's not going to bother anyone else.

Must be gay.

They should show some respect to their neighbors though, at least do it inside and sound proof the walls. It sounds like they weren't lacking for money.

I didn't think there was moaning in swingdancing.

Maybe because their setup was geared toward fat people, according to the article. Hence all the slapping noises.

 

[Vehemence]

That's a large woman

 

[preslove]

I wonder how much consultancy business they're going to get now that this story all over their google profiles...

 

[chuckywang]

I would have blackmailed them ... let me in or I call the cops.

 

[Pepsei]

look at the pool and it is by the beach front... it's like a playboy mansion for obese people.... not that there's anything wrong with being obese...

The couple hosted a naked rally for presidential candidate Barack Obama

For christ's sake, this is rock of Gibralter solid Republican land Iowa, what are they crazy?

If they hosted a naked McCain rally they would be golden.

Hey I work insane hours. What's your excuse?

Still applies.

If they held a McCain rally they would be fine.

More likely they were probably eating the raccoon based on that pic.
