HAND BOOK GUIDE TO COUPLES INTERNATIONAL VENUE

Introduction to Couples International. Handbook guide for COUPLES AND SINGLES Couples International 5 Holden street, Woolloongabba. This is a handbook to assist you in the meeting of patrons and what to expect when you are in our venue. We open at 9.pm usually patrons come in around 9.30pm to 11pm and all the single guys on a Friday Night are asked to be here by 9.30pm, this is so we can tour them and make sure they understand the rules and are fully up to date with what we expect from them. Below is an introduction and a quick insight into what you can expect at our venue. Hi, we are Bryan and Leesa and we are the owners of Couples International. Hopefully you have been introduced to us on your tour, if not please ask the bar staff or the hostess to introduce you to us. We want to meet all our new patrons and chat with you personally about the lifestyle. Dont be shy, introduce yourself. Now that you have entered our venue you need to be aware that your whole night is about you and no one else. You make all your own decisions and no one has a right to tell you other wise. Well, you are now in the venue and have had your tour and probably are sitting in the booth chatting with your partner or sitting or standing at the bar as a single. Hopefully you as a couple or you as a single have made your rules very clear to eachother, or to yourself. If you dont want to play and just simply chat that is fine, it is all about YOU and what you want to do and feel comfortable with. Have a game of pool and watch the venue activities, then go home that is fine. There is no where you can have all the facilities at your disposal for just $40 each as a non- member. A full night out on the town where you can get a room, play a game of pool, dance on a pole, loan some costumes, free softdrinks and tea and coffee, and take a shower and use all our equipment for a mere $40 each is great value. Use it all if you wish. If you are a member it is only $50 a couple for a full night of fun. But it is what YOU make it, and no one can make you have a good time. If you sit there in the corner and expect others to make your night fun, you probably will not have a good time. Most patrons dont come here to play, but to simply have a good night out with others in an adult atmosphere. In fact there are some couples that NEVER play here, but simply meet others and then go back to there homes and have some fun. It is ONLY about YOU as a couple or YOU as a single. We at Couples International offer the same respect to all, whether you are single or couple, we are all here to simply have a good time. No one is made to do anything they dont want to do. If someone breaks any rules, ( which is very rare ) you need to tell us, even if you feel you have handled it, it is not good enough. This person felt the need to break the rules in the first place so they will do it again. They must be evicted. If you enter as a couple you must leave as a couple. Dont ever expect anyone else to make your night a good one. It is up to you and only you. Feel free to get up on the poles and have a dance, no need to strip, just let your husband or wife watch you wiggle all over it. It can be fun. If you want a loan of something sexy to wear, just ask us at the bar and we will take you to the powder room and show you what costumes we have avaiable for you to loan. Dont ever feel that you cannot say NO to anyone. Dont ever be scared to say NO. You know what, No does simply mean NO. No one takes offence at the word NO, they will simply leave you alone after the first No is said, if for any reason you have had to say NO more than once, we, Bryan and Leesa want to know about it, as this is a breach of our rules. When you have asked someone to join you and they say no thanks, it doesnt mean they think you have 2 heads and dont want to go there, it can mean a lot of things. 1. Our rules as a couple dont allow us to do that. 2. I am not feeling up to it. 3. I am too tried i have just played. 4. We are not here to play tonight. and many more, never ask reasons why it is none of your buisness as the answer of NO. It is simply NO. Move on, and dont take offence. Never touch then ask, Always Ask before you Touch. Instant eviction will result. Ban for life. We at Couples International find our single gents to be very respectful and courteous , they have not just cold callled to enter ( like other venue or house parties) , but they have sent pics to us and had a chat on the phone to Leesa about the lifestyle and our expetations of them at the venue. . We are proud of our single gents. Please feel free to chat to others, just because you are chatting with someone, doesnt mean you want to have sex with them. People here are very open willing to chat to all, they are free of any inhibitions and love to be themselves. If at anytime you feel uncomfortable about any situation, please let us know. Most people are really scared on their first night due to not knowing what to expect. This is normal. There has been times when we have had to get a brown paper bag for someone to breath in. LOL. Hopefully this is not you or your partner, or you as a single. We will guarantee in about 1 hour you will wonder why you were so nervous. It is just like a nightclub enviroment isnt it. We think it has something to do with the stigma that is attached to the swinging scene. There is a misconception that we are like other venues where there is nudity everywhere and you are made to feel uncomfortable with the acts you see when you first enter. This is not the way we run our venue. There is NO NUDITY walking around our venue at all. This doesnt mean people wont do things in the open, they can, but they will get dressed straight away to ensure all our patrons are comfortable at all times. After all, we dont know where it has been, and we dont want it touching us..... Go for a walk around the club, chat with other patrons, dont sit in the one area all night and wonder why you dont have a good night. It is up to you to include yourself in the venue and the lifestyle. You may feel nervous, but chatting with others about yourself and the lifestyle is a good way to break the ice. As a single ( gent ) you may feel like a broken wheel, we ourselves would hate to be a single guy at a couples party, it would be really hard to know what to do or how to mingle as everyone thinks you are there for sex. This is not the case, they are there for the same reason as everyone else. Simply to have a good time and meet others. Most people are sick to death of the nighclub scene and the drunken beaviour that goes with it, here you will not find that. Everyone is happy and willing to chat and have a good time. Our staff are fully trained in RSA and will not serve you if we feel you have had too much to drink. Our advice to you is not to drink too much straight up as you are nervous, as this can upset your whole night. Take it slow and enjoy the venue. There is a stigma of single gents on the scene and we can appreciate that until you meet our single guys you will probably think the same. Give them a go, they are just as nervous as everyone, please chat with them and treat them with respect as well. They are here for the same reason as couples and single ladies. It is not all about sex, everyone including the single gents are happy to chat and play a game of pool and relax, just like you and your partner or you as a single lady. Dont assume that all the single guys are here for sex, they have been chatted to and the rules gone over with them just like we have with the couples and single ladies. So bottom line is dont expect anything other than a good time with likeminded adults like you and everyone else here. Go up to our single gents or single ladies or couples and chat with them, they are probably just as nervous as you are. As a single guy please dont stand around with your arms folded , this can be seen as intimidating to others, mingle and chat. and or play a game of pool, ask someone if they would like a game. As a single (Lady), you are probably just as nervous. That is normal. Take the same advice as offered to our single gents. Chat with others and mingle. Remember when you come through the door it is al about YOU. No one makes anyone do anything they dont want to do at our venue. Dont ever be afraid to use the word NO. It is all about YOU and no one else. Even if you felt a situation was right in the first instance and then find yourself not comfortable, walk away. There is not never any reason good enough to continue on with something you are not comfortable with. You are not going to upset anyone,and it is your right to do only what you are comfortable with. No one takes offence at stop or no and if they do we need to know about it, as they should not be on our venue. At Couples International we have very strict rules and we take them very seriously as should you. RULES OF OUR VENUE, YOU MUST SIGN OUR RULE BOOK BEFORE ENTRY. 1.

Leesa may strip and we may muck around a little , but we are always here for you to ask our advice or tell us of your concerns. Ourselves and all our staff are wired to make sure we know what is going on at our venue all night long. We know who is where and what is happenng, we are watching, and if we feel a situtation is not comfortable we will step in. This is for your comfort as we get to know our patrons and what they expect and we are your eyes and ears. Please feel free to tell us of any of your concerns and we will take the time to chat to you and help you with them. All our rules are important, but the most important is Dont touch unless you ask, and Never open a closed door. This even means if you can not see anyone in a voyeur room or the room upstairs with the glass viewing ,If the door is closed it is closed. You cannot even knock on the door. The only reason you can enter a closed room is if your partner is in there or you have already been in the room and you are returning after the toilet etc. If the door is shut and the room seems empty there is probably a reason for the closure. Never go into a room that is messed up, please, if our staff have missed it, call someone to clean it for you. We have fulltime cleaners and expect the rooms to be cleaned each time the room is used. ENJOY YOUR NIGHT AND WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. BRYAN AND LEESA
