A Nottingham alternative lifestyle group is organising a 'first of its kind' speed dating event in the city with a view to helping to fight the negative stereotypes that exist around the lifestyle. Unseen Lounge caters to a community of people who practice 'ethical non-monogamy' and aims to educate people who might be interested in joining the lifestyle.
The group has been running for six years and prides itself on holding glamourous events at different venues across Nottingham for anyone interested in swinging or polyamory. Despite the preconceptions people may have around the lifestyle, the events are usually more black-tie with drinks than keys in a bowl.
Business owner Baron, which is not his real name, stressed that the events are working to normalise the lifestyle and remove harmful stereotypes so that those interested in the community can have safer, better experiences. He believes that educating people about the lifestyle goes a long way.
