Direct experience first.
If we haven’t been to it, talked to people who go, or observed it ourselves, we don’t claim to know it. The Cork scene gets written by people who’ve been to Cork meets; same for Galway, Dublin and the rest.
EDITORIAL STANDARDS.
Named writers, direct experience, last-reviewed dates. How our guides get written, sourced and reviewed; the policy in plain language.
Editorial position Plain-language reference,

What we don’t do.
The four practices that drive AI-summarised lifestyle content. We don’t use any of them.
No invented statistics.
If we cite a number, we link to where it came from or label it as our own internal data. No "studies show" with no study.
No fake quotes.
"A member told us…" is the cheapest filler in adult content. We either name the source with permission, use a clearly-labelled composite, or skip it.
No SEO listicles.
"10 Best Swingers Clubs in Ireland" doesn’t help anyone. Our clubs page names what’s out there honestly; no fake league tables.
No content-mill rewrites.
Every guide is written from scratch by a named writer. We don’t license syndicated lifestyle content and pass it off as our own.
How a guide gets written.
Three steps every cornerstone guide goes through before it goes live and stays live.
One pair of eyes is never enough.
Every guide is read by at least one other moderator before publication. Factual claims are checked, copy is edited for plain language, and anything that sounds lifted from a content mill gets rewritten.
A real last-reviewed date.
Every guide carries the date it was last reviewed. We re-review at least once a year, or sooner when something material changes; a club closes, a law updates, a member flags an inaccuracy.
Updates & corrections.
If a guide is out of date or wrong, we want to know. Contact support with the URL and what’s off. Material corrections are acknowledged at the top of the affected page; minor edits get the last-reviewed date bumped.
Privacy of sources.
Where a guide draws on conversations with members, the members are anonymised. Names, ages and identifying details are changed or composited. The composite vignettes in our stories page are clearly labelled. We don’t out anyone, ever.
Editorial contact.
For editorial questions, story tips, corrections or suggestions: contact support. Claire Reid reads everything that comes through editorial, even if not every message gets a reply.
