They meet Antoine and Anke in the bar

By the time they got back to the bar it was full and there were no free tables.

“There’s a couple of seats over there,” said Steve.

“Isn’t that Antoine,” said Nora pointing to a table in the corner. “And I think he has Anke with him.”

“Should we go over?” Steve asked. “It might feel a little awkward.”

“Too late,” said Nora. “They’ve spotted us and they’re waving us over.”

They made their way across the bar to join Antoine and Anke.

“Well,” said Antoine. “Is your visit meeting your expectations?”

“It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced,” said Steve. He saw Anke smile. “I was very well taken care of,” he continued nodding in Anke’s direction.

“And what about you?” Antoine asked Nora.

“I can honestly say it has more than exceeded any expectations I had,” said Nora. “It’s a great place with great staff.”

“Oh I’m not staff,” said Anke. “Anybody you see here engaged in sexual behaviour is a member or guest. The only staff are the people running the bar and the door.”

“Think of it like a co-operative,” said Antoine. “We all contribute and we all benefit.”

“That’s amazing,” said Steve. “How do you become a member?”

Nora punched him on the shoulder playfully. “Hey,” she said. “Not so fast mister!”

“I was just asking,” protested Steve.

“It’s not that difficult to join,” said Antoine. “First we want to be sure you’ll fit in. Remember our no assholes rule. But we also want to know that you’ll participate and contribute. So we like a little ‘show and tell’. You don’t need to go full Lorna, but something that shows you’re comfortable with the vibe. Maybe not on a first night though. That’s not for everyone.”

“Still interested?” Anke asked. Steve looked sheepish, but nodded. “And what about you?” That was directed at Nora. “From what I saw you two might fit in well here. It’s a good place to explore your sexuality safely.”

“It’s an intriguing idea,” said Nora. “I’d like to think about it. What about you?” she said to Steve.

“I agree,” he answered. “Let’s see how the evening goes. Is there more entertainment?” he asked.

“From nine they usually begin to show live feeds from the booths or recordings from earlier,” said Antoine.

“Recordings?” asked Nora and Steve in unison.

“Yea,” said Antoine. “All the booths record the sessions. Many of the members like to be able to watch the action replay later. Some are also happy - or I should say eager - to have the action shown on the big screen.”

He pointed at the jumbotron above the stage.

“But it’s under your control,” continued Antoine. “We’ll only show the video or live stream with someone’s agreement.”

Anke snorted. “You didn’t tell me I’d a choice first time round!” she said.

“Let’s just say,” said Antoine. “That I knew what you would want deep down inside.”

“So how do we get to see our video?” Nora asked.

“They’ll give you a code when you leave and instructions on how to log on. You can watch it in the privacy of your own home anytime you like,” Antoine said with a wink.

“I think we’re about to get some entertainment,” said Anke. The screen was flickering into life and the room quietened a little.
