In addition to the extremely high ticket prices, at the parties that we went to, they encourage you to buy “tokens” at the bar which can be exchanged for play with the ladies. So it’s not hard to see why some people see this as less of a sex party and more of a glamorized high class escort service. Also, there is a decidedly entitled / unfriendly vibe among the attendees (perhaps a byproduct of catering to rich old men), which is why we ended up marking the vibe score lower, despite the elaborate decor.

Their standard MO is to rent a big empty warehouse and then deck it out for a sex-positive party. They have a unique rule of everyone needing to arrive and leave with a “pal” – friends who jointly accountable for each other’s behavior, which provides a check on potential solo predators. Labyrinth started in NYC and has expanded to open a venue in Los Angeles (East Hollywood-area). It’s an on-premise club with parties on Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays every week. To be honest, the vibe felt a bit shady here and the staff were pretty unfriendly. The decor and lighting was mediocre, and the crowd was a bit of a sausage fest.

The thing we like the most is how welcoming it felt as newcomers – it definitely lived up to their “fun / sexy / kind” tag line. The venue is spacious and beautiful, and we liked the layout. There’s a large social hangout area downstairs where you first walk in, with DJs hitting all the right notes. Off to the side, and upstairs, are several playrooms – so once you’re settled in and feeling adventurous, you can head off to watch or play amongst all the beautiful debauchery. Lovely Fate started several years ago, and after going dark for over a year during the height of the pandemic, has emerged bigger and better than ever. Now a monthly party at their West Hollywood venue, they seem to have nailed both the crowd (hot but fun) and the vibe (sexy chic).

But then other simple things had minimal or no attention, like mood lighting & sexy music throughout. If there is a downside, it’s that the events can seem a bit more about the porn star shows than about the attendees, and as a result many of the folks there seem be more into watching the show than there to meet or play. This seems to have become even more the case as Kinky Rabbit’s reputation has grown and it has kind of become a trendy “naughty thing for rich LA people to say they’ve been to”. The ticket price has been steadily increasing since the first time we attended, and are now up to $1200 per couple (June 2023). We have a large variety of experienced lifestyle members, and with our no pressure, voyeuristically welcome atmosphere, it's also the perfect place for newbies to get comfortable being in the lifestyle environment. Started out of the Bay Area, they now do events in a number of cities across America & Europe, including Los Angeles.

"VEC is...a fun atmosphere where ALL are welcome with open arms!"

We have been along several times now and absolutely love it. You are required to wear some kind of nice button down shirt or polo, slacks or designer jeans, and dress shoes. NO T-SHIRTS, NO SWEATPANTS, NO SHORT PANTS, NO TENNIS SHOES, and NO BALL CAPS. If you don't like our dress code, don't buy an event ticket, and please don't show up to any VEC events out of dress code. We want you fellas to dress nicely and shine with us ladies.

We have a lot of appreciation that Club Joi exists in LA.  It’s an on-premise club (as in they have their own building and run all of their own events there), and they’ve been doing what they do for a long time. The building is huge (over 12,000 sq feet), with high ceilings, a spacious feel, and all manner of different play equipment and themed areas. Sometimes, when the webcam show is over, many cam models continue their life online for you to enjoy.

That in the end, Talese appears not to have parsed the details closely enough may have less to do with his failings, or those of journalism, than with his desire to believe. That the book is flawed too should go without saying, although this is about more than its accuracy. Rather, Talese’s key error, I think, is his over-reliance on Foos and his diary as a central source — so much so that Foos was paid for the use of his material.

A voyeur is a person who gains pleasure from watching others when they are naked or engaged in sexual activity.Would you like to be able to look into the lives of your favorite cam girls? These are not scripted actors just horny voyeurs, willing to share their life with you. Catch intimate moments from people in the heat of passion. Amateurs that love sex and like to have it all play out in front of a live audience. Some people attend our parties & events only to be on full display with their spouse, and they would never dream of swapping, or sharing their spouse with another person.

In response, Talese declared he wouldn’t promote the book, before backtracking the next day. In a statement issued by his publisher, Grove Press, Talese said he would stand by his work. “[Foos] could … at times be an unreliable teller of his own peculiar story,” he explained.

The VEC parties & events are for our private members only. We are a private club and a membership is required to attend an event. The VEC Private Lifestyle Club is always closed to the public and is a private member's only social club.

What Foos is offering here is a self-portrait of pathology, which is really where “The Voyeur’s Motel” begins and ends. Or, perhaps it is a character study of a character who, like everyone, is deeply flawed. It’s a complicated question, although as “The Voyeur’s Motel” progresses, this recedes a bit, mitigated by our growing sense that the killing most likely never actually took place. It all comes to a head on the night of Nov. 10, 1977, when Foos claims to have witnessed a homicide. The victim is a young woman, strangled by her drug dealer boyfriend, who decides she’s stolen his supplies.

At the VEC we don't mind at all if you decide to simply watch. This is not your grandmother's 1960's swinger orgy feast. The lifestyle has evolved over the years and branched off into several different play styles and specific interests. Voyeurism and exhibitionism just happens to be what the VEC focuses on.

Researchers, however, don’t routinely masturbate to the activities of their subjects, nor do they spy on people without their consent. At The VEC, No Means No and clear verbal Consent is required!
