The swingers’ club for the sexual elite – this is the motto with which Attraction Club was launched in Bucharest on August 28. In spite of its newness, it is already receiving significant media attention due to its openness towards sex. Are Romanians, still a tradition people, ready for out in the open polygamy?
Roxana Ionita, owner and manager of Attraction Club, thinks they are. She is not concerned about her EUR 80,000 investment, made “in a city which is getting more and more cosmopolitan and with an elite consuming sophisticated entertainment”. Budapest, for example, has over five swingers’ clubs, says Ionita.
Things are looking up for the new venture – since the opening, over 50 people have participated in every event, a number which Ionita says is increasing week by week. Currently open only on Saturday, Attraction Club will also extend to Fridays. But it is not only the local swingers who attend Attraction Club, Ionita adds; many customers come for the intimate atmosphere, completed by the seductive music and the sophisticated design created by a team led by scenographer Adriana Raicu.
