    Secret "swingers" Sex Club: Key to Universe?

    Does the smartest man on earth know the secrets to good sex? (Getty)Does the smartest man on earth know the secrets to good sex? (Getty)Has Stephen Hawking, the godfather of modern physics, who recently declared his disbelief in an afterlife, found heaven on earth?

    Radar Online reports Hawking has been seen at Freedom Acres, the country's largest full-blown swinger's club. A source tells the site he's a "regular" at the Orange County, California club, and that he brings an "entourage of nurses"as his dates. It's hard to imagine the twice-married Hawking in Orange County, let alone a sex club. It's also worth noting that Freedom Acres hosts a "nurse and doctor" themed costume night so this piece of gossip is very, very suspect. But Freedom Acres is very, very real. And if there's a slight chance the guy who explained the space time continuum frequents it, he's probably onto something.

    The entrance to Club FA. You want to turn around already, don't you? (via clubfa.com)The entrance to Club FA. You want to turn around already, don't you? (via clubfa.com)After a winding journey through Freedom Acres' website, I've been enlightened.

    A throwback to the group orgy clubs of the 70s, Freedom Acres is decorated like the first half of Boogie Nights. Couples pay a $40 membership fee, take a "phone interview" where they're debriefed on swinger etiquette and sign a release form before they even get the exact coordinates of this dungeon of excess.

    A massive, petri dish Jacuzzi whirs on one floor ("bathing suits not required") a pole-equipped dance floor bounces to house music on another. Then there's the Blue Room, a maze of communal floor mattress, mirrored walls, private bed cubby holes and an endless loop of porn on TV screens.

    There aren't many photos of the clientele on the website, but certain descriptive details suggest the kind of crowd who's as concerned with continental breakfasts as they are group sex. "A snack buffet is served nightly and coffee and donuts are served on Sunday mornings." Re: older people.

    On an average night about 160 couples mix and mingle ("the club discourages cliques"). Some people just watch, others want to be watched. Donn, ex -husband of Real Housewives or Orange County's Vicki Gunlavson, allegedly prefers the latter.
    Donn? Is that you? Donn? Is that you?

    But there's more to swinging than that, according to Clubfa.com. In fact there's a whole language. "Closed swinging is being with another partner in another room or area where you are separated from your partner. Open swinging is being with another couple in the same area."

    Everything is fair game at Freedom Acres, as long as it's not in the dance area where new members nervously wonder if they've made a huge mistake coming. The Blue Room is for more of the "heavy sexual activity," that might scare a newbie off. Even condoms aren't required. "Most men don't like to use condoms...this is a discussion for you to have with the other couple before you get to the sexual part!" So it's apparently still the 70s at Freedom Acres.

    Here's the dance club area, designed to look like a totally normal club for 1973. (via clubfa.com)Here's the dance club area, designed to look like a totally normal club for 1973. (via clubfa.com)It's hard to believe a genius like Hawking, who's spent his life fighting a degenerative disease, would put his health at risk for a little hot tub action. Still, I can't help looking for clues to the universe on the FA website.

    For many, the draw of a swingers atmosphere is the all-accepting nature. Couples are opening the door their bedroom in a public space, and that inclusiveness seems to be infectious. (I'm just basing this on some positive yelp reviews).

    Some of the frequently asked questions are profound out of context: "What makes you jealous? Can you differentiate between making love and having sex?""Can you commit to being able to stop in the middle of whatever you are doing to rescue your partner from a sticky situation?") Could finding these answers in yourself reveal the true nature of love?

    Once when a reporter asked Hawking the hardest question of all: How should people live their lives?
    Hawking's response was that "we should seek the greatest value of our actions." Could he have been referring to an orgy fest in the Blue Room?
    The blue room is where things really go down. (Clubfa.com)The blue room is where things really go down. (Clubfa.com)
    Probably not. But the club does offer advice on what Hawking has called his greatest mystery: women.

    Under "Club rules" is this firm warning for male members: "the dress attire of some men has become more casual than we would like-- "T" shirts and flip flops do not have any sex appeal."

    It's not exactly the theory of time, but it's not wrong.

      PUT HIS HEALTH AT RISK??? The guy is confined to a wheelchair, cannot move, cannot even speak without the help of a computer. By rights he never should have lived this long. If he gets some enjoyment out of this, I say more power to him. He doesn't owe the rest of us A DARNED THING!!!

      This seems to be a pretty big thing. It's definitely not my scene, but whatever floats you boat. I'm a one woman guy. Many moons ago a girlfriend talked me into a threesome, and that was a total disaster.

      I personally do not have an issue with Swinger Clubs. We have quite a few here in Florida. I've never been to one, but I've read a lot about them. All of the people who join these clubs are consenting adults, just like Stephen Hawking, so I don't think there's any harm to them. To each their own.
      • Wendell L. 2 months ago
        You been slapping me with thumbs down a lot lately.
      • Andrea 2 months ago
        I have? A lot of times when I'm reading someone's comments I can't see who's posting them. I have some issue with my Mozilla. Maybe when you're done writing something you could end it with...Wendell L. lol.

      The chick who wrote this article is always doing those stupid recaps for The Bachelor. To me that show is worse than this Stephen Hawing deal.
    • Celestina  •  2 months ago
      Uh oh. I think something's wrong with me. For some reason, I don't care what Stephen Hawking decides to do behind closed doors. Please, help.

      'sigh'

      All mammals like sex. Humans may like it more than others. Some prefer to reserve all their sexual energies for one partner. Some do not. Some see sex as sacred. Some see it as fun. Different strokes for different folks. Maybe we really are the closest relations to Bonobo Chimps.
      • Joseph 2 months ago
        Do you think that's a good thing reserving all that sexual energy for one person?
    • Mark  •  2 months ago
      Piper Weiss/ Yahoo, if Freedom Acres is so inclined they really should sue you for libel. "A massive, petri dish Jacuzzi."
      Your proof that it's a petri dish?
      "It's hard to believe a genius like Hawking, who's spent his life fighting a degenerative disease, would put his health at risk for a little hot tub action."
      Do you have evidence that he put his health at risk?

      sloppy journalism w/ an obvious bias
      • Maggie 2 months ago
        Statistically speaking, all public hot tubs are a petri dish, not just one at a swinger's club. These are probably cleaned more often, though! This wouldn't be held libel because of a few things. 1; it is true. 2; If it's not true (which it is) it would need to damage their business reputation enough to lose money. (probably wouldn't happen) I really don't see hawking actually get into the hot tub, though.

      Don't tell Sanitarium about this. He will have apoplexy.
    • Fiddlesticks  •  3 months ago
      I would hate to be the cleaning people for the Blue Room...its like a giant dirty motel room.
    • Logan  •  2 months ago
      Just because he does this doesn't mean he is a bad person. Just because someone wants to lead a different lifestyle than you doesn't make it wrong. It's not for me, but I'm not looking down on others for living their life in a way that makes them happy (and doesn't harm others). They're consenting adults.
    • zodiac  •  2 months ago
      Wonder how often the sheets/mattress are changed and the place is disinfected. Swingers clubs are nasty. I'm very sexual liberated and have no issues with swingers but do it in your house or a hotel not a disease infested club.

    • A Yahoo! User  •  New York, New York  •  2 months ago
      Sometimes I have things on my mind that would make Jenna Jameson blush; but I wouldn't want to do them in a place like this. In the comfort of his own home is fine.
    • liliflowers  •  2 months ago
      Is this place even clean? Who cleans it? There's a general ick factor here.

      swingers not using condoms (runs in fear!!)
    • John Smith  •  2 months ago
      This place is 30 minutes away. Big deal. I'll never go there. I do medical fetish sex, so this plain-sex with different partners is way too boring for me.

      But, if they add a gyno table and a few dozen women show up who always secretly wanted to be a patient for an agressive doctor, then I might decide to take a look.

      But, there are already places that provide that sort of specialized situation here in Los Angeles, so I'm not all that concerned about this place.

      Plus, swinging is not my thing at all. Do I really want to share the woman that I'm in a relationship with? I don't think so.
    • Paul  •  2 months ago
      To each their own!! Something ike this caused my last divorce, hooking up with other people is great if you and your partner agree. didnt work for me.
    • D4tified  •  3 months ago
      Hawking said that this club is 'out of this world'.
    • John Smith  •  2 months ago
      I would be afraid to even walk into the place for fear that I would step in something slippery, and it would get all over the bottom of my shoe!

      "Oh my god, what is this? Is it lube, or semen? Either way, these shoes are going into the trash now. Good thing I noticed before I tracked this mess into my car! And, NO lady, I don't want to be part of your six-way gang-bang adventure, while your husband watches."

      The only way that I would even go in would be if I was wearing a full-coverage moon suit, and even then it would be disgusting. What person in their right mind would actually eat the food there?

      The worst part of all is that sweaty men are touching you because they are having sex with the same woman while you are. Plus, what can you do if some guy looks over and says "nice package" and invites you to have sex with his wife? Even worse would be if you are invited to have sex with the wife, and then climax in the man's mouth! That's all a part of what goes on in these places. You pretty much should be down for a little of everything and anything.

      Not only is it WAY too gay for me, but all these freaks writhing around on the same mattress is so far beyond disgusting that it makes me want to vomit.

      Two women and me is perfectly fine. But, the second that you throw another man into the mix, I freak and get up and out of there faster than lightning.
