About Mars Shags Venus
Mars Shags Venus is a lifestyle social group rather than a venue. It was founded in August 2011 by hosts Jesse and Jodi.
The group's stated approach is the social side of the lifestyle, with a specialization in newcomers and a deliberately low pressure atmosphere.
Events cover hotel takeovers, bar takeovers, bowling nights, a bus ride and costume parties. Group trips run alongside the local calendar.
The longest running of those is an annual trip to Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica, held the first week of March since 2016.
What to Expect at Mars Shags Venus
The published sample itinerary gives the clearest picture of a weekend. Friday opens in a downstairs bar at 9pm, with bowling at 9:30pm.
Saturday runs a karaoke bar meet and greet from 3:30pm to 5pm. The hosts describe it as catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.
The hosts state that the itinerary is a guide and can change, and ask guests to be respectful of hotel staff and other attendees.
House rules are published as general tips for hotel takeovers. No means no, ask before touching, and no photos at all.
An open door means you are welcome to enter, but joining in still needs asking. The rules also bar outing anyone and bringing someone who does not know what the event is.
Who Can Attend
Attendance categories and an age rule are not published. The tips page addresses couples throughout and carries a section aimed at new couples.
Prices are not published either, and the site asks visitors to email for the official price of each event.
Cost has two parts, a party fee and a room fee, and the hosts state that a room is not required to attend.

Planning a First Visit
Email the hosts for the official price of the event you want, since prices are deliberately kept off the site.
Ask about the venue and the age rule at the same time, since neither is published.
Decide whether you want a room. The cost splits into a party fee and a room fee, and a room is not required.
Read the published tips before a first takeover, especially the rules on asking before touching and taking no photos.
Before any club night, review swinger club etiquette and what to wear to a swinger club. Couples new to the lifestyle can start with Swinger Lifestyle 101.
