Kasidie Acquires AmericanLowLife in Las Vegas
May 7, 2010
Kasidie.com acquires Las Vegas swingers community AmericanLowLife.com.
(Las Vegas, NV, May 7, 2010) – Kasidie.com announced today the acquisition of AmericanLowLife.com, the only regional online swingers community serving Las Vegas. By combining their 24,000 mostly local members with the Kasidie national database, the combined firm is now the defacto market leader in Las Vegas catering to the swinging lifestyle and is well positioned to continue its growth in nearby Southern California and the Pacific southwest. The combined firm already has over 275 swingers parties posted nationally, and 84 just for Nevada and California.
“We are very excited to be part of the Kasidie team” said Bruce Dyer, AmericanLowLife’s founder and President, “with their technology platform and features we finally get to offer our members a full set of social features, while retaining the ability to provide irreverent insights and information to the global audience of Las Vegas visitors”. Scott Purcell, Kasidie’s President added “AmericanLowLife has a fantastic reputation with both local and national swingers who visit Vegas, which stems from the same core values both organizations share in their passion for the swinging community and focus on customer service. We’re going to do some fantastic things together!”
The engineers from both companies are now working together to import the member accounts into the Kasidie system; no small feat when working with highly disparate database structures. Although the days of free memberships are now gone, the lesson learned is simply that free services simply cannot pay the costs associated with hiring engineers, customer service personnel, and other employees, as well as costs of servers, hosting, internet bandwidth and other business operating expenses. However AmericanLowLife.com will continue as a free portal with information about nightclubs, restaurants, pools, swinger clubs, stage productions and other activities for all Las Vegas visitors.

The Minnesota Daily News published a fairly well written article (about as well as a judgemental vanilla can write an “impartial” article) entitled “Swinging Ones Vows to the Limit” by Paige Vigil. It describes her discussion with a girlfriend who’s a swinger, and her follow-up conversations with Club H in Minneapolis.
It’s not bad, and she does a pretty good job of not being critical and simply writing what the lifestyle and the club are about. However she did make a couple of vanilla statements which I simply had to reply to. Here’s my response to her…
Hi Paige,
I read your article and found it pretty well reasoned. In places where you personally disagree with something, you state that rather than disguise it, which is truly a breath of fresh air in todays journalism. I do have a couple of points I’d like to make, to help clarify what swingers think.
Regarding “paying for the club is in fact paying for sex”…the truth is that the majority of people on any given night don’t have sex at a party. Sometimes, oddly enough, there is absolutely no sex at a swingers party (not often, but does happen). The reason is simple, and a strong misconception in the non-swinging public: swinging isn’t about indiscriminate sex…just as when you were single and only had sex with people if there was a strong connection, it’s the same with swinging. And finding a connection is not all that easy. The simple fact “newbies” quickly learn is that they “come for the sex but stay for the friendships”.
And regarding “faithfulness”, that term is extremely subjective. In some parts of the world if a woman walks outside without a male member of the family, she has been unfaithful and is subject to corporal discipline. Heck, in some areas if a woman is raped she is considered unfaithful and may be put to death. It’s not that every “community” has the right to decide how “faithful” is defined, it’s every persons/couples right to make that decision for themselves. As swingers, we generally value emotional faithfulness. Physical pleasure is pretty much detached from the term. But even regardless of that, we simply don’t judge how people define “faithfulness” in their own personal lives. So just because I wouldn’t want to live like, say, a Hasidic Jew (only have sex with clothes on and a sheet between the man and woman), or like a Mormon (allowing my wife to be “sealed” in a temple gang-bang) doesn’t mean I judge or frankly care that other people choose to live their life as such.
Anyhow, thanks again for the even-keeled article, much appreciated!
