What is a dark room and what happens in it?

Hi

Let me say this I have no firsthand knowledge of Darkrooms.
Except I know it was started in gay clubs, Which was everywhere when I was young.
There were no Swingers clubs then.
I know the one swingers club we do have here in Cpt now has a dark room and plenty people go in.
Singles and Couples.
In the beginning of this is what a gent wrote when we all discussed this *Dark room*...and we where wondering on the *Rules* of such a room should be.
I am quoting some of his input,
Firstly one must accept that in the lifestyle there are as many fantasies as there are people and the Dark room is there to fulfill a number!
The theory with a dark room is that when you lose one of your senses,(namely sight) the sensitivity of the others is increased, which makes for an unreal sensation.
Now this works great when one knows who is in the room with you. Eg a group of friends.
But can be tricky when you don't know who is in there.
Another fantasy , that is played out more often than most realise, is that when a lady wants to experience sex with a number of partners but has no desire to know who they are. (Sex with strangers)
People just want to get laid …completely no strings !!
It is a place that shy people can experience sex without the painful face to face experience that they can`t do.
The rules in the darkroom at 2 of the clubs(in JHB) are that there is.
Do not know if this is true for us here in Cpt.
Why not ask the club owners. and then decide if you would like to go in.
1) No men on men action! Granted there will be touching , as it difficult to find who is who and where they are , without feeling…extended contact is inadvisable.
There is one of the clubs which has a gents darkroom, where obviously gent on gent action is permitted
2) Ladies may refuse sex without a condom! My advice is for ladies to physically check that it is on…or put it on yourself.
3) Ladies may refuse anal sex!
Otherwise it is basically anything goes.
My own thoughts on this Dark room playing.
I would for the love of me NEVER go in there, except if it is with a few of my friends with whom I feel comfortable with.
Knowing there is NO ONE ELSE.
My reason is this.
How clean are the people who is touching you.
How clean is the person himself and his genitals ,the same can be asked of the ladies of course.
Do you allow anyone to grope and touch and put their hands and mouths all over you with out KNOWING the above??
How safe are one in there ,is my next question??
I `ll need a LOT of hands to slap away unwanted hands that I do not know.
My advice to Ladies who who go in NOT go in unless you know why you are going in!
Gentlemen who use the dark room…behave like gentlemen.
If you don't..the ladies get up and leave…and that leaves you and your hand all alone in the dark!
Ladies the same can be asked of us behave as ladies do not grope or keep on touching if you hand is shoved away.
I still maintain that I prefer to put you in a mask or to blindfold you, and you get the same heightened sensory input.
Heck your hubby or wife can always invite a few friends over for a gang-bang,if that is the fantasy
Darkrooms is NOT for me personally.
And Joyrider is right an OPEN mind is needed here.
