Very good for recording content but the sanitation is awful. I’d walk into a room and either the sheets would be WET or stink. Not to mention the play space is mostly carpet and you can TELL. Half the time the people moderating the floor aren’t even paying attention to the scenes in front of them. The rooms are really nice however and I haven’t had any issues with most of the other staff! Clean bathrooms at least too…
I used to frequent this club, I can tell you that if you want a safe experience, keep looking!
Absolutely beautiful place filled with amazing people ❤️❤️❤️
I've been to a number of places that want to be with this place has managed to become.
I became a member of this place back in June and I've had nothing but good times at every event that I've attended. Everyone here is extremely nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place
Great community, safe environment, staff who care and keep everything clean and organized. If you're local and in The Lifestyle™, this is a great place. But do yourself and us a favor, and only join us if you have a healthy relationship with consent ❤️
A great place for fetish arts. They put the concent in the front and make sure the people that come there feel comfortable. Before the first time you need to have a introduction lesson of the academy. The membership requires a yearly dues (or monthly if you live far away from Cleveland). They have a kitchen there and people bring food and drinks. No alcohol and drugs are allowed there. Enjoy!
