Is the lifestyle legal in other US states besides Florida?

Lawrence v. Texas protects private consensual adult intimacy, and the community operates openly in most US states through clubs, events, and resorts. State and local laws vary on public conduct, alcohol licensing, zoning, and venue operations, and hosts may set stricter rules than the law requires. This is not legal advice — confirm venue policies and local rules first.

Lawrence v. Texas is an important privacy decision involving consensual adult intimacy in a private home. It should not be summarized as a universal rule that every lifestyle activity or business model is lawful everywhere.

State and local rules can differ on public conduct, adult-entertainment venues, alcohol, zoning, occupancy, licensing, compensation, and other operational details. For example, some jurisdictions distinguish sharply between licensed liquor establishments, private membership clubs, and bring-your-own-bottle (BYOB) venues, and hotels or resorts may impose stricter conduct and occupancy rules than state law requires.

Before traveling or RSVPing, confirm current venue policies, membership requirements, and identification rules directly on the operator's official website rather than relying on general community advice. Organizers planning gatherings should consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction rather than relying on a national summary.

Online discretion and legal compliance are separate questions as well: keeping your profile private — through non-indexed member pages, discreet privacy presets, and provider-backed identity verification as explained at /legal/privacy — protects personal privacy, while following posted venue rules protects everyone at the door. JoinTheSwing's public city guides and club directory are informational and do not certify that any venue, event, or activity complies with every applicable law or license.

Digital membership purchases take place in the iOS and Android apps via StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing. Member identity verification runs through an automated government ID, biometric face-match and liveness check by Veriff: from the current Veriff check JoinTheSwing never receives or stores the images — we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in our private verification-document storage, deleted when the account is deleted.
