VIP Room: Inside the Oslo Swingers Community

Want to know more about the swinger community in Oslo?

Whilst swinging is popular in Norway, there are very few organised clubs and groups with most couples arranging their own meetings. In a lot of cities and small towns, lifestyle followers meet to swing in their own homes, viewing the activity as a private one. The VIP Room therefore stands out as the only traditional swingers clubs in Oslo but is competing with a rise in popularity for more explicit sex clubs; namely BDSM and fetish parties.

In this review, we take a look at what the VIP Room in Oslo has to offer local and visiting swingers as well as the kind of events they run. We provide all the information on prices, contact details and opening hours.



Overview

In spite of the country’s reputation for promiscuity and adventurous sex, the VIP room is Oslo’s (and Norway’s) only swinging club. Covering just 200 sq. m and with a maximum occupancy of 80 people, the club is an intimate space for couples and singles to explore the lifestyle.

Members range in age from 20-50 years’ old and though most parties are attended by regulars there are new faces at most events as beginners make their first foray into swinging. The club’s ethos is very much about making new faces welcome in an effort to increase member numbers and diversify the group dynamics.

Swingers in Norway are renowned for their privacy and sex and libertine clubs like those you might find in Germany or France are not popular in the country for the average swinger. Far more popular are the BDSM clubs of Oslo which are growing in prominence, particularly in Oslo, and many are also used by swinging couples; certainly, the less conservative and more adventurous types.

On the whole, the VIP Room is not a club that celebrates diversity and although women can often be seen experimenting with one another, male bisexuality is considered ‘undesirable’.

In such a climate, the VIP Room remains a traditional private swingers clubs that is reminiscent of a 1980s meeting place. It is far from a modern venue and lacks the glamour of larger European swinging clubs. However, they do attract around 20 couples at their evenings (around 30 on Saturdays) that are largely made up of locals with the occasional international guest.

New members who are interested in joining the VIP Room are invited to attend a house tour on Wednesday evenings. Contact the club first to organise your visit and confirm your contact details. You will be issued a trial membership and after three visits you can apply for a full membership.
