Playcate is a couples swingers convention held annually in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Playcate is produced by our good friend Hugh and Judy, who are also known for their group trips to Hedonism II. In 2012 Playcate will be held February 29 – March 4.

Contrary to popular belief, Myrtle Beach is not named after one of Hugh’s old girlfriends. In fact, it’s named after the Southern Wax Myrtle, a common wild shrub that grows in the area.  However it got its name, it’s become one of the more popular Atlantic Coast vacation spots, boasting a sixty mile stretch of sandy beaches, entertainment and dining venues, and a sub tropical climate that will bring you warm March days with temperatures in the low seventies.  Sounds like a fabulous place for Playcate!

Of course, the Playcate swingers convention is what its call about. Hugh and Judy always put together a great event with lots of parties and entertainment.  Their basic convention package includes evening theme parties, live entertainment and shows, limo transfers, off premises excursions, receptions, seminars and evening hospitality and fantasy rooms.  The full convention package includes meet and greet reception, private party, and meals.  Other options are available. You’ll want to pick the one that best suites you style, and your budget.

Please also note.  Hugh and Judy have been producing Playcate for five years, and organizing swingers events for ten years.  Recently the cancelation of certain swingers events has left some people wondering if it is a good idea to sign up and attend these events.  While Dream Pleasure Tours has no financial interest in Playcate, and does not make any money from this event, we have worked with Hugh and Judy previously and have every faith in their honesty, integrity and track record as event producers, and further we have no reservations in recommending this event for those who are interested.

Hugh and Judy provide this useful guide that tells you more about what to expect at Playcate.

1. Is this a "Swingers" convention?
Well ...yes. There will be "swingers" at our convention, but there will also be nudists, republicans, democrats, conservatives, church-goers, fetish and BDSM'ers, polyamorists, voyeurs, exhibitionists and much more. In fact couples from all walks of life will be there. You should have an open mind, but you don't have to "swing" with anyone at our convention.

2. What is the Playcate?
Playcate is a four night/five day, alternative lifestyle convention. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or brand new to the lifestyle, there's a little something at our Playcate convention for everyone. Swingers, Polyamorists, Tantra and BDSM enthusiasts are all welcome here to satisfy their thirst for adventure.

3. What makes it different than a regular lifestyle social?
We are bringing in speakers, vendors, and many other extras for the weekend. Some of the seminars are educational, yet some of the seminars are just for you to have fun during the day on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. At our conventions, seminars, on and off premise parties, and events occur every day and night just makes the convention more exciting.

4. Why is the cost higher?
We do have many extra costs for this event...a very nice hotel and convention center are the first costs. Taking over a hotel is also another cost. There are also costs for various room set ups during the day, security and bringing in certain speakers even though many have volunteered their time. Limousines to the off premise events, security, and many other items are reflected in this cost.

5. What's not included in the package?
Hotel rooms (minimum stay - 3 nights) start at $125 per night (taxes included), for nice accommodations in an upscale hotel. Dinners, incidentals, other than noted above, are not included. Transportation to and from the airport and to our off premise parties are provided for this event.

6. Do I have to participate in anything I do not wish too?
Of course not. The universal rule is "No means No!" and you are free to participate as much or as little as you wish. If you have any problems with anyone at our event, please notify someone from our security or care team.

7. How many people do you expect?
We expect well over 150 couples (that's over 300 people!). Yes, there are bigger parties, but we are still small enough where you don't get "lost in the crowd", and you'll get a chance to meet many other couples in attendance.

8. What do we wear?
We have four themed dances (all listed on schedule page when confirmed). We do allow people to wear jeans, but most men tend to dress in nice slacks & shirt. Ladies dress in what is affectionately called "slut wear". Outfits from popular lingerie shops seem to be quite popular. In fact, lingerie is fine as long as all private areas are covered. Sheer is fine, but naked is not cool. Can't find the perfect outfit? Try the vendors for a great selection of fabulous fashions. Casual clothes are best suited for during the day.

9. Can we get naked and have sex everywhere?
Of Course Not. You are free to enjoy any particular activity in the privacy of your room. No sexual activities may take place in any public areas of the hotel.. Also, there is no nudity allowed in the public areas, including the ballroom, lobby and restaurants. Sexy: Yes!...Naked: No!

10. Who is putting on this event?
Hugh and Judy of Playcate Conventions are planning and organizing this event. They have managed and hosted couples' parties for over ten years.

11. How do we get there?
Our event is located in Myrtle Beach, SC, but due to discretion, we do not give out the location of the hotel until after a couple reserves for the event.
