Social media erupted on March 8 after an announcement circulated on social media regarding a sex party in Atlanta. The party was allegedly created as a birthday celebration for Cidney G.


Occurring on March 19, the sex party is being called “Total Liberation.” The private event is being advertised as a “place where you make your sexual fantasies come true.” For those who want to attend, there is a fee. Single ladies will have to pay $99.99; couples $175; and $175 for single men.


On the invite page, the creators stated that a previous event sold out twice and that tickets will be gone soon for the upcoming “ATL Orgy.” But while the topic inspired dozens of memes and comments, swinging is a not new occurrence in Atlanta. In fact, there is a large community of swingers in the Atlanta area.

Trapeze stands as a place where an “ATL Orgy” occurs every week. The club is a known swinger’s establishment that features private rooms, showers, and several jacuzzis, according to their website. The club offers $50 (two-month) memberships for couples with nightly entry fees of $70 on Friday and $80 on Saturday. Single women are charged $50 members for a three-month membership with a $15 night fee. And single men are charged $150 for a two month membership.


Individuals who have visited Trapeze shared their thoughts on the the venue. “When I first walked, I was greeted by a massive buffet, my own bottle of champagne and a stripper pole; I thought I was in heaven. Every room is very dark. Even standing in line to get a locker, I could barely see. I was so nervous I was shaking. You are given a towel, a key to a locker and than told to wear whatever you want,” Liz V. of Waleska, Georgia said.

According to a study done by Electronic Journal of Human Sexuality, swingers are mostly white between the ages of 35-55 years, college educated, married between 11 and 20 years, and have an average household income of $40,000 and $200,000. It also suggested that swinging is not usually a weekly event for couples. The study stated that most couples swing between six to eight times per week.

However, there is a growing number of Black swingers. The Black Swingers Club and Black Swingers Alliance is are organizations that prove that there are a growing number of Black swingers.

The “ATL Orgy” hashtag used the opportunity to speak on the rising number of STDs in Atlanta and the Black community.
