When Em and I heard the news about ClubForePlay—better known as C4P—closing its doors, it hit us hard. For years, this platform has been a cornerstone of the lifestyle community, especially here in the Midwest. It was a vibrant hub where couples could meet new couples, make friends, find events and form swinger lifestyle connections
The closure of ClubForePlay wasn’t an easy decision according to its owner, and we want to take a moment to honor their contribution.
In their farewell message and main page he wrote: "Due to ever-changing laws on a state-by-state basis and being 69 years old, I’ve decided it’s time to pull the plug on ClubForePlay. This platform has been a labor of love, and I’m grateful for everyone who made it what it was. All recurring memberships will be canceled, and pro-rated refunds will be issued."
These words remind us of the dedication it took to keep C4P running all these years. It’s clear this wasn’t just a website for them—it was a mission to bring people together and create a safe space for the lifestyle community. This hits home when it comes to our efforts running our platforms.
For us, ClubForePlay was where it all began. It’s where we met some of our closest friends when we first explored the lifestyle. It’s where we learned, grew, and found a community that accepted us with open arms. Losing it feels like saying goodbye to an old friend!
ClubForePlay: The Heart of a Community
For those of us in the Midwest, it was a lifeline. In a region where finding like-minded couples can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, C4P brought us together. It wasn’t perfect—the interface was a little dated, and sometimes it felt like stepping back into the early days of the internet—but it worked. And for that, we’ll always be grateful.
The closure of ClubForePlay leaves a significant gap in the lifestyle community. For many, it was their first point of connection and a trusted space to learn and grow. But while we’re sad to see it go, we’re also excited to step up and help fill the void it leaves behind.
