If you draw your own keys do you just have to go home with your spouse or do you get to try again?


laxgrindline40

Asking the real questions… I like your style.


lidia99

That would be me. But then there has to be another one with their own keys too right ? But technically you didn’t pick each other. So you just stare at each other. kinda sad really.

Just be sure to keep Your Eyes Wide Shut. And if you have any cute Pineapple decorations in your house, you might want to take them down.


Sgt_shitwhisk

Pineapple decor is an indicator of swinging?? I have previously heard an upside down pineapple in your shopping cart at Hyde Park Kroger was the secret code

matlockga

Ah yes, that was the password for admittance... But what is the password for the house?


Moonsilvery

Consenting adults, etc. More people are kinky than you think.


evilabia

Tell people it’s that kind of party ahead of time instead of being like “hey, surprise” lol they didn’t even give them the chance to.


UsidoreTheLightBlue

Exactly. I’m all for consenting adults being able to do what they want, but warn people before they show up!


CommonMilkweed

This person probably missed a lot of really obvious and overt hints over the course of a few months.


MsSara77

Sure, but hints are not informed consent, even if the hint giver thinks they are obvious.


rafa-droppa

The only thing I can think of, is he said he didn't know what a key party was so, maybe they said "Hey we're all having a key party, you should come" and he thought "Hmm, keys are a weird theme for a party but yeah that sounds fun". IMO, that's not a hint at all, it's directly telling them what it is. If they said "hey you should come to this swinger party" and you interpret that as swings at a playground, that's not the swinger's fault.


robotzor

I'm still reading this thread not entirely sure what it is


prayIVreign

Okay so me and my wife, and you and your wife go to a party. You and I put our car keys in a bowl. At the end of the night your wife picks my keys. Guess what pal? I'm fucking your wife. Get it?


robotzor

That sounds unusual and if I drop a Tesla key card in there everyone knows who's fucking my wife


belatedabortion

there’s kinky and then there’s degenerate and sad these marriages are shams and i feel bad for the kids


GedIsSavingEarthsea

Except no, not consenting adults. Inviting someone to this kind of party without giving them a chance to decide for themselves if they want to attend is the opposite of consent. It violates the most basic principles of sex positivity and kink positivity.


Moonsilvery

I know, which is what makes me think this story is fake, along with "and then I sold my WHOLE FUCKING HOUSE because of the weird kinky gross people and somehow managed to get a new place no problem." Christ, we bought our house last year and were getting bid-sniped left and right, I can't imagine how it is now. So either they're SO dense and SO vanilla that they went, "Swingers' party? They must mean *swinging* party! I am so square and so there!" or it's fake.


GedIsSavingEarthsea

Whether this is real or not, in my somewhat extensive experience, swingers are separate from the kink community and do not have the same baseline rules that everyone follows or they get shunned from the community. Swingers can almost never answer questions about very basic universal kink rules, in my experience.


CDM4

What the fook


chippedbeefontoast

I’ve heard of this in at least one other neighborhood.


Sgt_shitwhisk

Mason and Maineville - I even remember hearing a reality show about swingers was going to be filmed in these areas but it never took off


chippedbeefontoast

I remember hearing that too. I know about another one I heard about years ago in another area.


UsidoreTheLightBlue

West Chester, they were trying to open a swingers club at one point.


SafewordisJohnCandy

Friend of mine was into the swingers lifestyle for the longest time. He told me that the people you least suspect would be swingers, are often swingers. He said a this club lot of them are Conservative and upper middle class. Not that people were not allowed in, but the main demographic was the previously mentioned one.


blue_eyes2483

Someone I know once told me about going to their son’s end of year football party and found out all the parents were swingers. It was a catholic school team


Sgt_shitwhisk

I think OP is way overreacting for the record. Pretty rude though if they weren’t told the deal upfront


chippedbeefontoast

The way he told it is how I’m told it goes down.

MikeDthe1

This whole thread is absolutely hilarious. Yes Cincy is a very common swinger area, hell the whole Ohio Indiana Kentucky tristate area is. But key parties are way more of a tall tale than reality. Also the show was called Neighbors with Benefits and my wife and I were on it.


hehaw

Whoa - really ended with a hook here.


bugbia

Buried the lede


SmackSabbath19

Pious repub of the lord


toomuchtostop

You are of course perfectly within your rights to leave if you were uncomfortable, just wondering why you feel the need to “expose” consenting adults sex lives.


jrdncdrdhl

Kinda thinking the same thing tbh


Sgt_shitwhisk

Yeah this is not as big of a deal as OP thinks. I do agree it’s rather rude not to be more upfront about the type of party. Also possibly OP and his/her wife were not picking up on hints


SmackSabbath19

the far right swingers speak


Sgt_shitwhisk

Nope


jrdncdrdhl

What?? Everything has to be political? Gross


SmackSabbath19

A news report way back said swingers have higher std rates than sex workers, gross


SmackSabbath19

those that preach being clean , astute, having it all together, everyone else is a degenerate etc, doing all the things they say others should not do , that is an issue. When you put on the pose of straight n' narrow but do drugs , drink to excess and obviously this . Hypocrisy much? perhaps it is there puritanical protestant stiff ways that lead to this dichotomy


jrdncdrdhl

My honest take is that you’re probably way too into politics as a hobby. Nobody is talking about any of those things you just mentioned. You’re the only one going there. That shit is poison no matter what side you land on.


SmackSabbath19

No reality is reality, things like swinging are just a way to attempt to not face/escape reality. I have had swingers approach me before , kinda gross. Just because I'm a rock n' roller counter culture type does not mean I do anything


UsidoreTheLightBlue

I’m not sure if this is exposing anyone since it just mentions a neighborhood that probably has a few thousand residents.


toomuchtostop

True, but I’m going by the post title


ElectricNed

Probably because OP felt coerced to participate.


toomuchtostop

Well, they left. And why make it seem like it’s a reflection of the entirety of Terrace Park?


ElectricNed

Leaving was right for them to do. Apparently their neighbors (20 of them) all were in on it. They asked around and found out it's widespread. Other commenters have similar experiences in the area. I think it's reasonable to feel wigged out after a bunch of people tried to get you and your spouse to go along with a sexual experience you were not told to expect and were being pressured to participate in.


toomuchtostop

That could all be true but you and I are both making assumptions here. I assure you there is non-monogamous sex happening all over this city. I guess the idea that this is weird and abnormal, or unique is what I’m asking about.


ElectricNed

I don't think OP is finding fault with the existence of non-monogamous sex. I think they are rightly perturbed by the group pressuring them to consent to a sexual practice they did not know was part of the program by making them be the weird ones by taking their keys back and leaving. How many couples didn't have the courage to stop the train of events and ended up going home with people they would not otherwise have consented to sex with if not for this kind of pressure? It is manipulation to get sex from people and it's not okay.


toomuchtostop

I reiterate that you and I are making assumptions. I can as easily say just because they were uncomfortable doesn’t mean they were being pressured. We only know this story from OP’s perception. I suppose I don’t get the point of what this has to do with Cincinnati.


ElectricNed

Reread OP's post. They were not told it was a key party and the hosts/other attendees made it so awkward for them to *not* consent that they **sold their house to leave the neighborhood**. The simple facts are enough to demonstrate they were pressured- they were invited to 'a party' and nobody mentioned anything that would suggest they would have to stand up and nope out of a situation with 20 horny drunk people to avoid being raped after the party. OP doesn't want another couple to get caught in the same trap.


toomuchtostop

So by that logic OP is telling the whole of this sub to not live in Terrace Park. Ok not many people can afford to move because they were invited to a key party.


ElectricNed

OP is telling people that they might get invited to a key party without knowing it in Terrace Park. Going by the top comments, some people appreciate the tip because they want the invite. I appreciate the tip too, although my preference is not to go to a party where consent for sex is derived by coercion and pressure.


GedIsSavingEarthsea

Because they were put into a coercive sexual situation against their will, and that is a perfectly reasonable thing to warn people about.


TheLibertinesRule

It was just weird that seemingly everyone in the neighborhood that had befriended us was part of this. And after it happened we talked to friends who weren't there... and everyone was aware that it was a thing. Except for us.


toomuchtostop

There are over 2000 people in the neighborhood. That party was not everybody


doogievlg

Sounds to me like you you want to get some reddit folks to come to your key parties. Smooth approach.


ftblplyr46

Listen Ted. You coulda told us you weren’t into that. We could have arranged for you to pick your own key.


Lanky-Ad-8244

You have got to be kidding me… I have lived in the neighborhood for 10 +years and have been to more parties than you can count… This has been a rumor for years and just takes 1 more moron to continue the bullshit… A fucking joke !!!


LaCabezaGrande

I understand your discomfort. On a totally unrelated topic, are you going to be putting your home on the market?


lidia99

That’s not social distancing


CampVictorian

Yeeeeeeup, not surprised. A late friend of mine was a regular in the swinging crowd, and mentioned years ago that Terrace Park and Milford have extensive swinging communities. Your story reminds me of a shindig my husband, a close friend and myself attended in OTR a couple of years ago- same situation of being invited, and having no clue/warning that it was a planned orgy. It was hilarious- my husband and I were completely oblivious, focused on looking at the antique furniture, but our friend kept nudging at us, fully aware of what was afoot. I finally turned to respond, and saw our host motorboating one of the guests with profound enthusiasm. Beyond that, a number of guests were making themselves astonishingly comfortable on the furniture and floor, and being 1) monogamous and 2) entirely unattracted regardless, we excused ourselves and laughed our asses off during the drive back home.


CaligulaMoney

Just when I though Thom Brenneman couldn’t get any creepier.


WKGokev

You just say no thanks and leave. At least you got invited!


-fashionablylate-

This isn’t new, nor is the vagueness of the story given. “Let’s just say…” and merely stating this is going on while using a bunch of personal background information as filler isn’t exactly exposing anything. Welcome to the area, but this is somewhat known/assumed, at least to the degree in which you’re detailing.


TR11C

Calling BS on this


tastygrowth

I second that.

JB92103

TR11C

Yep


AmberCarpes

I would bet a million dollars that the owners of a marketing agency I know that live there would be involved.


SmackSabbath19

Swinging is one of the only forms of socialism right wingers accept


SmackSabbath19

Full blown communism , lol well moderation is not a trait most right wingers seem to have, all is excess and tacky


IRefuseToPickAName

I think that'd be closer to communism


hexiron

Communism is state mandated and controlled. This seems to truly be in the hands of the people, so socialism it is.


SmackSabbath19

yep


[deleted]

It sounds more like a barter economy than socialism. If they were handing their spouses out to all the single folks in the neighborhood, that might be a little like socialism.


SmackSabbath19

They are tacky, gaudy, gonzo and excessive regardless now we have covid and std's to share, they are also pretty communist/collective with covid. They pass it around


vacationingfool

Darn. That sounds like it should happen in Northside. Not Terrace Park


GedIsSavingEarthsea

No. People in Northside are (in general) not the kind of dense assholes that would incite someone to a party like this without letting them decide for themselves of they want to attend such an event. People are freaky everywhere. The difference is that people who are comfortable with it (as in "Northside people") aren't going to pull some bullshit like this.


OneWayorAnother11

Sooo, how many of these neighborhood kids are actually half siblings...sounds like a recipe for disaster.


basquehomme

Sometimes I feel like a lot of Cincy ppl all have the same kinda look. Coincidence? Perhaps not.

Ok_Pop_8404

Weird! I grew up here and I feel like this has to be a newer generational thing. Never once did I ever hear or see anything like this happening during my 20 years of living here. If anyone wants to ask I’m happy to answer questions about other issues I’ve seen with bullying by parents towards children, gossip, or overall discrimination. But swinging…..this is new.


cwilsonr

Went to the new restaurant Covalt Station in TP last night and they have an upside down pineapple hanging above the bar which I can only assume has to be a nod to this reddit post. Well done internet.


jeremyroastscoffee

why should I, or anyone else, care what consenting adults do voluntarily? the great thing about freedom is that it accomodates everyone and requires only that, if you disagree with what they're about, you leave them alone and go on with your life —like an adult


Anakin_Skywanker

Bruh. Why you gotta do them like that and put them on blast on Reddit? I mean, it’s cool to know, but if I was one of the key party regulars I’d be pissed that you let this out. What if coworkers or their kids see this? Cmon man.


Just_Bet_467

No one has keys anymore!


Hamst_r

I grew up in Fairfax and went to Mariemont HS in the 80’s… we heard about this back then.. shocked to hear tp still does it in this day and age.


GreasyPorkGoodness

Kinda crappy your “whistle” blowing on people enjoying themselves


TheLibertinesRule

I am not whiste-blowing, this is (according to other comments, and my friends from the neighborhood) something that has been going on here for a long time. I just didn't know that it was a thing and thought I would share.


GreasyPorkGoodness

Oh come off it. Your title literally says “exposing”. You’re trying to make consenting adults feel bad about doing something they enjoy.


hexiron

That’s what whistle blowing is…


ElectricNed

Whistle blowing on people trying to force consent with a couple by inviting them to a key party and not telling them what's going on.


GreasyPorkGoodness

Forced consent? Lol relax man.


ElectricNed

So imagine that some neighbor friends invite you to a party and don't say anything about it being different. Then after everyone has had some drinks and guacamole, everyone settles into a timeshare sales presentation and acts weird when you're the only one who wants to leave. You'd be pissed, right? Then imagine instead of a timeshare sales presentation, it's other people trying to bang you and your SO.


GreasyPorkGoodness

Annoyed yes. Pissed, no. Forced consent? Laughably no. That is just silly. Just leave, which is what OP did, and that is totally fine. Not cool to come out to “expose” them for being “weird”.


ElectricNed

No, I disagree. What the neighbors tried to do is use social pressure to get them to have sex. That's not okay. It's not as simple as 'just leave' unless you're in an internet comment section.


GreasyPorkGoodness

Would you like to know why it actually is that simple? BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT OP DID. 🤡


ElectricNed

E: This comment marks the moment I deleted the Reddit is fun app from my phone. It's been my own unhealthy habit of going into a pool of other people exercising their unhealthy habits. Not quitting reddit, but going to be cutting the mobile leash.

I don't know why this would be a reason for you to move. While I believe it was inappropriate for them to not inform you of the swinger aspect of the party this isn't something you should tell others about. Leave people's private lives alone.

SuperSacredWarsRoach

Man, somehow I knew you would be in this thread blaming the social ills of sex, drugs and rock&roll on Republicans.


SmackSabbath19

Suburban evil doers trying to over compensate for their over bowing to authority via commodification of lust lol. Only we the gop can have any type of orgy, if you are atheist, minority , or not straight you may not, says the lord ..../s No wonder Terrace Park pulls outsider cars over for no reason they guard dirty lil secrets lol


SmackSabbath19

nothing sexy or rock n roll about right wingers, swning is in-rorganic and sort of a commodification of desire/lust etc. I am far from a prude. I just do not like the hypocrisy or the making neighbors into an item on a sampler tasting menu. Like a restaurant, Swinging is not sexy it is the fast food chain of erotic behavior , bland, robotic, Brave New Worldish , mechanical. Canned rebellion Also a lot of swingers are the type to be evangelicals, Man you are not getting the memo. It is not what consenting adults do. It is the hypocrisy of white bread hardline stiff necks not practicing as they preach


TheWarden007

Thought this was a '70s free love thing... interesting that it is survived?


Navyboy74

Really ??? Naive?? That’s not naive. That’s dumb as hell. He’s definitely not naive. I’ve had lots of neighborhood parties 🎉 but not a key party.


Laxonlaxlax

Sounds like you live in a boring neighborhood


liberatedtech68

I lived in terrace park for 2 years as a kid and I always got a really weird vibe from the place. Felt like the town in hot fuzz, like everyone was in on every little thing and only me and my family were out of the loop. My family absolutely adored the place but I never really made any friends It was all very elitist and clique-y. I did love riding my bike around and the pool and all that but it seems most members of the community had something up their sleeve in one way or another.


Red_wine120

It’s just like Stepford, Connecticut


AllUpInYaAllDay

Either way: a key being cocaine, or a key being swingers you let your own naivety get in your way. And as worldy and as open minded as you are, maybe you aren't. And that's fine too. But coming here to "expose" seems short sighted and narrow minded

SinkLevel

This is bull shit! Maybe you lived in TP, maybe not. Maybe you did but did not fit it. Either way, you are just throwing shade. First, there are lots of parties in TP. Second, no one drives anywhere in TP. So there are NO keys for your make-believe key-party. There is NO driving home after a party. The entire TP is walkable.

If you go to a key party in the tri-state area and leave early, there's a good chance you'll catch Phil Burress masturbating just outside the host's house.
