In Italy, the swinging movement is wrapped up in the world of the private members clubs, or Club Prives. For a complete breakdown of swinger venues by city, see our Italian swinger club directory. From couples who swap partners to singles who like to engage in casual sex, there are more than swinging clubs in Italy, many open daily and often hosting two sessions a day; one during the afternoon and one late at night.

The report by Fedesex suggests that the average age of swingers in Italy is 43 for male participants and 35 for the women. In fact, Italy has become known across Europe as the home of swinging and attracts a lot of tourists who visit for simply this reason. Although prostitution is legal in Italy, organised prostitution is prohibited and brothels are illegal. Sex clubs are also banned. However, private members clubs can operate in Italy as long as strict rules are adhered to. A Clube Prive must be an association with a president who can approve or disprove membership and restrict access to members only.

It is important to understand that all Club Prives are for members only and you may not just turn up to any club without prior planning. All clubs are open to members only but many are part of European Swinging organisations who accept ID cards from other clubs and groups. If you not a member of an association recognised by the club prive you are intending to visit then you will need to bring along a photographic form of ID sometimes proof of your address as wel and complete a form upon arrival.
You will then be asked to pay an annual subscription charge these can vary but are usually a nominal sum before you are given a temporary membership pass. It is also important that you check the program of events at each club before attending, particularly if you are not in a couple as some nights prohibit, or restrict the number of, single men on the premises.
Some clubs are more like bars or discos. Image via Le Moulin, Soave Verona. With nightclubs and restaurants , the process is straightforward; behave as you would in a normal adult entertainment venue until otherwise expected to do so. Head to the bar, have a seat and enjoy the show or take a table for dinner. At a Naturist Resort or Club Prive with Wellness Spa, you will usually be given a complimentary robe and shown to a changing room where you can leave your clothes and belongings in a secure locker.
