Swingers shut down Des Moines sex club after neighbors complain, city intervenes
Seattle Times ^ | Thursday, August 14, 2008 | Leslie Anne Jones

DES MOINES — Regan "Draco" Lane-Smith and "Naughty" Nonah Elliston outfitted their six-bedroom rental house with 15 mattresses, bondage crosses and sex swings. They built elaborate sets in their backyard for taking erotic photos. And they promoted the Hardwood Cabin online. Up to 60 guests at a time came to mingle, sunbathe nude by the pool and have sex with fellow swingers and fetishists, Elliston said. Parties were frequent enough that the couple's laundry service was cycling through 50 bedsheets a week. But the couple shut down the sex club last month when they were cited for running a business without a license and threatened with fines of up to $513 a day. City officials say naked or not, the couple had been warned that their activities violated zoning laws for their residential neighborhood. Large swingers groups aren't unusual locally, but they generally meet in commercial areas or hotels and not close to other homes. The gatherings also led to several visits by police responding to neighbors' repeated complaints of noise and nudity. Elliston and Lane-Smith say they're being persecuted for their lifestyle, and insist they didn't charge admission. They're looking for somewhere new to host parties. They say they should have the right to live their lives and use their property the way they see fit. "We're happy hedonists," Elliston said. "As far as I know you're still allowed to throw a party in your house." "We're normal people" Elliston, 40, and Lane-Smith, 39, met at a swingers party in Puyallup seven years ago and married three years later. Lane-Smith is a self-employed computer consultant; Elliston does consulting work in the court system. "We're normal people who happen to enjoy sex," Elliston said.

""We're normal people who happen to enjoy sex," Elliston said."

Normal people enjoy sex - what you've got here Elliston, is a pathological obsession.

“We're normal people”

No there not. They are sick individuals, no better than dogs in heat.

Personally I think money for aids would be better spent on other diseases, like cancer.

Most of the people who got aids deserved to get it, they did it like this, and of course IV drug use and prostitution.

To the victor go the spoils.

But AIDS is a politically correct, feel-good way to throw away your money.

And these folks are good at whining the loudest, spending all this money is like a parent giving in to a child just to get it to shut up.

GEORGE: Hey, what happened with Sandy. I forgot all about it. Did you call her?
JERRY: Yeah, I did. In fact I went over there.
GEORGE: So what happened? She throw you out? Eh?
JERRY: No actually, she took it pretty well.
GEORGE: So what happened?
JERRY: She's into it.
GEORGE: Into what?
JERRY: The menage. And not only that. She just called me and said she talked to the roommate and the roomate's into the menage too.
GEORGE: That's unbelievable.
JERRY: Oh, it's a scene man.
GEORGE: Do you ever just get down on your knees and thank god that you know me and have access to my dementia?
JERRY: What are you talking about? I'm not goin' to do it.
GEORGE: You're not goin to do it? What do you mean, You're not goin to do it?
JERRY: I can't. I'm not an orgy guy.
GEORGE: Are you crazy? This is like discovering Plutonium ... by accident.
JERRY: Don't you know what it means to become an orgy guy? It changes everything. I'd have to dress different. I'd have to act different. I'd have to grow a mustache and get all kinds of robes and lotions and I'd need a new bedspread and new curtains I'd have to get thick carpeting and weirdo lighting. I'd have to get new friends. I'd have to get orgy friends. ... Naw, I'm not ready for it.
GEORGE: If only something like that could happen to me.
JERRY: Oh, shut up you couldn't do it either.
GEORGE: I know.

I know that's a /sarc>!

These people are narcissists who insist on the freedom to do as they choose without having to take responsibility for their choices or even make responsible choices.
