Paddles is the most famous BDSM club in NYC, and is considered to be the best equipped dungeon on earth with 30 pieces of new equipment.
Paddles sits on a 5000 Square foot multi-level state of the art discreet location.Unless you know where you’re going, Paddles isn’t easy to find — it’s behind an unmarked metal door beneath a Veterinary Clinic sign.
To find it, you will need to walk down a long concrete hallway, then down stairs into a basement. You will then arrive to a window where you are asked to give your names, read a list of rules, signed your names, and have your hands stamped. The rules: No alcohol allowed, you may watch a scene but not interrupt, nudity is permitted but no sex, and no touching unless given permission.
Once inside, you will pass small room where you can borrow a toy — a flogger or paddle, for example — in exchange for your driver’s license. The walls are made to look and feel like the stone of a castle dungeon with various pieces of Medieval-like furniture with straps or rigging for bondage. A bed with ankle and wrist straps that looks like a rack from the Spanish Inquisition, a split-seat chair with arm restraints, a spanking bench, a jail cell for…well, use your imagination. There are Cupboards containing cleaning materials and paper towels for wiping down furniture after use, just like at the gym. Other rooms contain St. Andrew’s Crosses, padded tables, and hooks in the walls, floors, and ceilings.
Beyond the open area lies Pandora, a set of rooms that can be used for private scenes. People who don’t like to have an audience or don’t want to be recognized may use this area and come in through a separate outside entrance. These rooms have a variety of themes. There’s a medical examining room detailed with stainless steel walls, florescent lighting, trays of instruments, and IV stands; a dress up room with a variety of costume choices; an old fashioned school room with teacher’s desk, child’s desk, blackboard, a computer, and a webcam; a wrestling room with padded mats; a Chinese-themed room with a throne, pillars, and pillows; a dungeon with a large wooden wheel where someone could be strapped in and spun around.
