[the chamber] (NSFW)

I hesitated to write about [the chamber]—I mean, I usually blog about art, or cool sims to visit, or this and that, but not about places overtly designed for sex. But there is something classy about [the chamber] that sets it apart from the oft-maligned "hop on a poseball" sort of place, and if you're a voyeur or exhibitionist (or both) then there's something here for you. To join the group and thereby gain entry you'll need to hand over L$300—no doubt this eliminates most riff-raff from disturbing the atmosphere. (You can also be escorted up one time by a group member to look around.) Be very sure to read the rules before you teleport in.

And what's here? It's well stated in one of the introductory notes: "The vision of [the chamber] is to create a deep and erotic atmosphere for roleplay and erotic chat for members. We focus on politeness and manners with a twist. Our members expect intelligent, lively conversation and imagination along with beautiful and detailed surroundings. We are very strict on behavior and appearance so that we keep to the original vision of the society and club."

First, there is the dress code. For men: suits, vests or sports jackets, collared shirts or sweaters, dress shoes or clean boots, nice sneakers. For ladies: dresses, skirts, bodysuits, dress pants, lingerie, heels or barefeet. That means no jeans, bling, baseball caps or other tacky junk. Of course, there is nudity: always welcome for ladies, and Wednesdays are CMNF (clothed male nude female) day—not mandatory but encouraged. The tables get turned on Thursdays, which are are CFNM (clothed female nude male). But in any case you must arrived clothed, and staff keep a sharp eye out for proper decorum. (And yes, you do have to be human.)

And then there's the location: a selection of elegantly designed rooms, each with a different purpose. The reception area (second photo, shown at a remarkably uncrowded moment) is ideal for introductions and chat (as well as intimacy), while the lounge (lower photo) is more suited to roleplay (not reachable via the main teleport—head to the terrace outside the reception room, but pay attention to the lounge's specific purpose). Additionally you'll discover a study for office roleplay (with a hidden voyeur room), a ballroom (for group activity), the basement (a polite euphemism for a dungeon) and other rooms. If you venture around on the ground level you'll discover May's Landing, the location of a music venue, Sugar Tits. And I encourage you to leave a contribution—Mollie Butoh, the co-owner of the two sims, says, "We use donations, membership fees, and our own funds"—a generous move by her and her co-owner partner, Max Butoh.
