It's Thong Night at Elle et Lui, one of the Colombian capital's more popular spots if you're looking for sex with someone else's spouse. Behind a nondescript door, in a dimly lit room adorned with erotic paintings, couples chat and dance in various states of undress.
This is the heart of Colombia's swinging scene.
Daniel, a greying 43-year old wine importer, has his arm draped over the shoulder of his wife, Maria.
"Swinging is honest infidelity," he says. "I much prefer that if my wife has a fantasy of being with another man I'm involved, rather than finding out that she's been going behind my back to meet at some motel."
Until quite recently Daniel could not have been so open, let alone have found a bar in which to swing.
While other Colombian and Latin American cities sway to the sexy rhythms of salsa, Bogota has long been known as upright and prudish.
The rest of Colombia normally describes Bogotanos as cold, uptight and always in a hurry. But the city of seven million has undergone a quiet sexual revolution.
In the past two years a number of bars catering to swingers have sprung up.
And though homophobia is still rife, the gay community has made itself more visible, putting its stamp on a fashionable neighborhood, now known as the Gay Hills.
Though the swingers regard their activity as harmless fun and a totem of the city's newfound freedom, it has set them on a collision course with a city councillor who believes the more tolerant attitude to sexual mores is ripping society apart faster than the drug mafias or the 40 years of civil war.
"Now we're at a point of crisis," Francisco Noguera said. "As these clubs promote promiscuity, which then threatens the family, we can say that these clubs are one of the greatest threats to our society."
In a still deeply conservative society, where senior members of the government belong to the most radically conservative sect of the Catholic church, Noguera's campaign has struck a chord, especially in older people alarmed at what they see as a new permissiveness.
He has prompted questions in congress and a debate on the editorial pages of the newspapers.
"I was getting my hair cut and someone handed me a magazine to read," he said. "Inside was an article on these swinger clubs, and I couldn't believe this was happening in my city."
Less than two months ago five swinger clubs advertised in Bogota's listings magazine. He proudly showed that in the latest issue only two remained. "We hope they'll all be gone soon."
The swingers' clubs are simply the first salvo in his war on permissiveness. "My goal is to clean this city up and one day I hope to see this city without any prostitute bars, gay bars or swingers' bars," he said.
The bar owners say their clients are being harassed.
"Imagine, you're sitting there naked with your wife trying to create a sexy atmosphere, and then the police come up to you to ask for your identification," said the owner of Elle et Lui, who asked not to have her real name published.
The rules of the bar, she said, ensure that it is not sleazy. No single men are allowed, although some single women sit with couples or linger by the bar.
Some clubs lay out detailed instructions on their websites for the first-time visitors, emphasising comfortable clothes ("wear boxers not briefs") and mutual respect.
"The idea is that both couples are happy with the swap, so that means satisfying all four people and that can be complicated; but if one doesn't want to do it, then forget it."
Regulars say that most couples don't swap partners, but rather come to join in the raunchy parties.
"This is a freer city now and people want to experiment with things like swinging," said Maria, 33, who with her husband, Daniel, has been swinging for three years.
Bar owners say that the local authorities have no right to shut them down, because sexual rights are protected by the constitution.
But there is a growing recognition that there are people in Bogota who want to turn back the clock.
"You have to wonder, if they do shut us down who will be next?' Maria said.
MONEY MATTERS: Xi was to highlight projects such as a new high-speed railway between Belgrade and Budapest, as Serbia is entirely open to Chinese trade and investment Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic yesterday said that “Taiwan is China” as he made a speech welcoming Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) to Belgrade, state broadcaster Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) said. “We have a clear and simple position regarding Chinese territorial integrity,” he told a crowd outside the government offices while Xi applauded him. “Yes, Taiwan is China.” Xi landed in Belgrade on Tuesday night on the second leg of his European tour, and was greeted by Vucic and most government ministers. Xi had just completed a two-day trip to France, where he held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron as the
With the midday sun blazing, an experimental orange and white F-16 fighter jet launched with a familiar roar that is a hallmark of US airpower, but the aerial combat that followed was unlike any other: This F-16 was controlled by artificial intelligence (AI), not a human pilot, and riding in the front seat was US Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall. AI marks one of the biggest advances in military aviation since the introduction of stealth in the early 1990s, and the US Air Force has aggressively leaned in. Even though the technology is not fully developed, the service is planning
INTERNATIONAL PROBE: Australian and US authorities were helping coordinate the investigation of the case, which follows the 2015 murder of Australian surfers in Mexico Three bodies were found in Mexico’s Baja California state, the FBI said on Friday, days after two Australians and an American went missing during a surfing trip in an area hit by cartel violence. Authorities used a pulley system to hoist what appeared to be lifeless bodies covered in mud from a shaft on a cliff high above the Pacific. “We confirm there were three individuals found deceased in Santo Tomas, Baja California,” a statement from the FBI’s office in San Diego, California, said without providing the identities of the victims. Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their American friend Jack Carter
CUSTOMS DUTIES: France’s cognac industry was closely watching the talks, fearing that an anti-dumping investigation opened by China is retaliation for trade tensions French President Emmanuel Macron yesterday hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) at one of his beloved childhood haunts in the Pyrenees, seeking to press a message to Beijing not to support Russia’s war against Ukraine and to accept fairer trade. The first day of Xi’s state visit to France, his first to Europe since 2019, saw respectful, but sometimes robust exchanges between the two men during a succession of talks on Monday. Macron, joined initially by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, urged Xi not to allow the export of any technology that could be used by Russia in its invasion
