Swingers club moves to Queen West
Swinger's club to expand into new Queen digs
Multi-tiered orgy room: Neighbours not thrilled with new business

Just blocks from the Drake Hotel, residents of West Queen West will soon be welcoming, or cursing, a new neighbour: a massive swingers club complete with Top 40-spinning DJs, "love furniture," a communal shower and one multi-tiered orgy room.
Branding itself as the city's only "on-premise" club -- where sex is allowed in a members-only area -- Wicked Club is feverishly renovating an old booze can before its grand opening this Saturday, an event also reserved for an exclusive roster of "sophisticated" members.
The club, formerly in smaller quarters at Richmond and Church streets, will officially open in October, co-owner Aurora Benzion confirmed yesterday. She hesitated to say much else, fearing for, of all things, her members' "privacy" this Saturday.
The club's online invitation shows off a woman's corseted rump and promises a "bigger, better and wickeder" party, all to the sounds of a Bronski Beat tune.
Wicked will also feature a "fashion cafe" open to the general public and set to launch this November, Ms. Benzion confirmed.
Once the site of a Royal Canadian Legion Hall, the Queen and Brookfield Street site was most recently home to the Vatikan, a popular goth bar. Neighbours watched workers renovating diligently all summer, but many had no idea what was coming.
"My husband and I have been admiring the work being done," said local resident Robin, who has lived in the area for 26 years. ''It's a beautiful building.''
She was less than thrilled to hear that pleasure-seekers will be frolicking in mirror, voyeur and Japanese ''fantasy rooms'' a block away from her house.
"I think it's absolutely ridiculous. It's a residential area ... I think we should have been informed," said Robin, adding that Wicked would be better suited to a red light district.
There is a school nearby, and the area is still predominantly residential, with older generations of Slavic and Portuguese families and a younger crop of upwardly mobile parents populating the side streets.
Wicked's off-premise floor will boast three bars, an erotic film projection area, buxom hosts and a dance floor for "dirty dancing" -- off-premise translates into "exhibitionism, flirting, kissing, fondling, dirty dancing, etc," but absolutely no penetration. That's reserved for the on-premises VIP Suite, where a daily membership runs $10 for women and $60 for couples.
Persistently marketing itself as a "sophisticated" destination, Wicked caters strictly to 25 to 35-year-olds, "where women run the show" and most men need not apply without a female companion.
Entry to the VIP Suite is more like Fort Knox than a bacchanal.
Hopeful hedonists have to fill out a membership form that includes two (accurate) photos and a slew of personal information. The club reserves the right to turn people away who don't fit the club's "compatibility" --young, fit and scantily clad.
Last December, the Supreme Court of Canada legalized swingers clubs when it ruled consenting adults who engage in sexual activity behind closed doors while like-minded folks look on are not committing indecent acts.
That ruling cleared the way for a growing number of lifestyle clubs with increasingly liberal attitudes. At least a dozen swingers clubs operate in the Greater Toronto Area, many more when you count services that co-ordinate "sexy boat," penthouse and condo parties, from Rosedale to Airport Road.
But few have tested the new high court law with on-premise sites, which makes Wicked unique.
Still, with its flashy red sign not even up yet, it remains to be seen whether Wicked will crack the blase coda of Queen Street or simply produce the kind of resigned cynicism most locals now reserve for that other suburban weekender hotspot down the street.
"There are certain things that aren't that family oriented in this area," said a Fennings Street resident, unfazed by the news yesterday. "You could be doing worse things on Queen Street."
