Power Exchange

This place is creepy! Men walk behind you with their penis in hand acting like sex starved animals! The staff us far from friendly, somehow the room upstairs had been kicked in or broken into and we went in there and we’re messing around when the staff came in yelling at me at which at this time I noticed right after this fiasco that my wallet was missing, the staff were kinda laughing at me and my wallet was never found. I do believe it fell out during the scramble to get out of where we didn’t belong or pay to go which I was never explained this when we paid to get in. I think the gut who works there kept my Wallet there was a couple hundred in there so he made out. I would never go here again I sugg es t trying.a.swi gers place much nicer enviorment for females anyways I would not. Consider going here again unless it was free then I may but probably not cause the wacky jobs that follow you everywhere !

We really enjoyed couples night didn’t have to deal with 10 guys following me around with their penis in hand. Lots of attractive kinky couples doing naughty things to each other and others made it allot easier for us to have comfortable sex not having to watch our backs will definitely be looking forward to our next visit

We usually do our own research before we go to a place and we don’t listen to what others say or even read the reviews of others. With that being said, we dropped the ball this time.lol. We listened to what others had said and we got caught up in the hype.
We will start off with this, Power Exchange is a great sex club. No, Power Exchange is an awesome sex club. If you are looking for a place to have sex, be watched, play, etc. then The Power Exchange is a place you need to check out. BUT… Power Exchange is not like any other lifestyle club that we have ever encountered.
We hesitate to put Power Exchange in that lifestyle club category because Power Exchange is very much a sex club and a sex club only. Now this does not mean that no socializing goes on there; we truly did not stay there long enough to see, but the club is set up for sex and pretty much sex only. What’s crazy is that it is possibly one of the nicest and most well layed out clubs we have seen; if it were a lifestyle club and not just a sex club it would most likley break our top five. The downstairs/​dungeon area has quite possibly the most semi-​private play rooms that we have ever seen except none of the rooms had beds; they were all benches and chairs. Matter of fact, I don’t think we saw a single bed in the entire club. But we did see one of the biggest BDSM rooms/​areas that we have seen and it was fully equipped with spanking benches, crosses, and even some things that we couldn’t even apply names to.lol.
The middle floor is the «social area», but it’s really just an open space with a few places to sit here and there, a stage with a St. Andrew’s cross on it, and mirrors lining the room. We are pretty sure that the few places to sit were used more for sex than sitting which is not a bad thing at all. Toward the back of the room was a voyeur glass box type of room and a bar (but power exchange is a public sex club, so this means that no alcohol is allowed on the premises). The upstairs was the couples only area which is only open once a month or for private parties. It is most likely the most social of spaces and it is equipped with seating, a glory hole, and it overlooks the entire first floor.
Overall it was a difference experience, but not a bad one at all. If a person is looking for a sex club and/​or a place to get away and have sex or change up where they have sex… this would be a good place to do it.

This place was so dirty and stinky, it smelled like it hadn’t been cleaned… Ever. My husband and I were the only couple there. It was mostly tranny’s, and lychee old single men wanting to watch us do whatever. We left from down the street to the bar had a few beers, couldn’t bring ourselves to go back. It was worth the $ 30 fee to get in however just to quell are curiosity. Won’t go back.

The majority of the clientele is out of shape, old or fob’s. The trannies are either desperate and/​or flying on drugs. The props are very old, rusted and rickety — in fact, I think they brought them from the old location at Otis. And oh, everybody is dressed. Isn’t this a sex club. WTF.
The one female entertainer was a sweaty pudgy Asian chick that thought she was hot shit. A very old overweight white gentleman (the owner or manager?) whipped and slapped her ass and ate her out for the clientele to watch. At least she was naked.
Go one of those nights when you’re bored and with nothing else to do. Like I did. It was anything but sexy. Just a freak show, with crackhead whores and all. Thumbs up.

If I could give it no stars I would but in order to write a review we need at least one.
My BF and I went last night to check it out we thought it would be fun to try something different. We couldn’t be any more disappointed, there were like 30 guys and only 4 girls including myself.
There are 3 floors, one for couples which is upstairs. I was very excited to how it was going to be like… there is a little room towards the back, where there were some couple playing others watching. I couldn’t not stand there for longer than 5 seconds the smell of stinky ass and sweaty balls was unbearable. I don’t know how the other couples could stay there. It was very dark there was no way you could see anything, which was probably a good thing because trust me you if you saw the type of people that was there it would have been enough to want to leave.
As for the other two floors I could not touch anything, everything was just smelly and sticky as if they haven’t cleaned the place for years, those two rooms where mixed, they have little tiny rooms where people would have sex and the rest of guys were just watching as they have never seen people having a good time in their entire lives!!!
The bathrooms were very dirty, not to mention the girl doing coke offering a good time… yes a good time!
Overall if you and your significant other are trying to look for a good, clean, classy sex club, this is not the place.
We were there for 10 mins max, after we left this place we even didn’t life having sex anymore. We felt so disgusted we had to go home and shower even after the shower we still felt dirty!

I had never heard of Power Exchange until my boyfriend mentioned it, and when he brought it up, all he said was that it was ‘like a strip club.’ Anyway, he has been wanting to take me there forever, and suggested I gather some really adventurous girls from work to come with his large group of friends one night. So I agreed, and me and the girls met at a nearby bar to try and get a little buzzed before we all met up.
Once we got there, I knew I was in for a great night! For the first time in a while, I was truly able to «let go.» It’s no wonder why places like this are exploding all over Europe! Many of my girlfriends are from Europe, and when they realized it was a sex club, most of them said they had been to them before (leaving me to feel like the prude of the bunch!) A great experience that helped show me a side of myself I never knew existed AND explore my gender identity.

What can you say about The Power Exchange? You might remember it once existed in another part of town; that was really the place to be. The newer club, which has been open for a few years, is scaled down and a bit of a different vibe.
Honestly, this is a place for voyeurs and exhibitionists. You can either watch what’s going on, or participate. Yes there are many people there excited to engage with total strangers.
Couple of comments-​the demographic of the club is about 80% Latino men. I am not saying this disparagingly, just giving you my crowd assessment. But the women that are there, are definitely there to have fun. The only food or beverage they sell is bottles of water for $ 1. Can’t beat that.
If you like the kinkster lifestyle, or just want to catch a peek of it, there is nothing wrong with checking out The Power Exchange. Street parking is available and not too tough to locate. The staff is extremely friendly and will answer questions and help you understand what’s going on where. Admission varies, usually it’s $ 20 for a single female, $ 75 for a single man, and $ 50 per m/​f couple.
Hey, life is all about trying new things, so go check out PE.

Checked this out as one of the things on my list I wanted to do before leaving SF for awhile, and I have to say I wasn’t particularly pleased. It was a nice set up but I was the only woman there, attending with two male companions, and although there were some very nice guys there, who were entirely respectful and very complimentary in a genuine way, (as in not overtly sleazy,) I was pretty put out by the fact I asked the bouncer and the guy at the desk if there were a fair number of people in that night, as it was a Wednesday, and was assured «yes» — it felt very empty with ~10 guys scattered about.
If I’d gone solo I’d have been fine by this as it’s $ 5 entry for women, but the guys had to pay $ 30 and I felt disappointed for them. We didn’t stick around long, the lack of other women was a let down — from the bouncer and guy at the desk I’d have thought there would be at least one or two others, as oppose to just me.
I never got to check out The Citadel in SF but it sounds like a much better place, I’m sad to say — I really wanted to like the Power Exchange after a close friend told me about it a few years ago. If you’re a gay guy, or a straight woman wanting to feel slutty in a safe environment, this seems like a good place — but otherwise I’d steer clear.

okay, i have great news about this place… my girlfriend who has been here twice before we met really liked this venue, but after hearing all the stories about the «creepers» (single men who follow any woman they see hovering around any action they can find and with there «u know what» out masturbating… just sounded awful and creepy to me and also sounded like I would likely get into it with someone… sooo needless to say I wanted no part of this place… but my lady had made it clear she wanted to go again and that it would mean a lot if I tried it out… we agreed on the weekend of her birthday as I was reluctant to agree, I did, she pointed out that there was a couples only night where no single dudes for the first 4 hours and suddenly ALL my fears and concerns went away!!! we arrived at 9pm and stayed until 10;45 or so about 7 other couples where there and wish there was at least 5 more but had a good time «playing» and I encourage more couples to try this out, there is no judging and is a chill environment, but i will say based on one couple i saw is this, if you’re a dude try it out! you’ll be surprised how fast you will open up, but if you are a dude who’s woman is freaked out by it, don’t drag her there in hopes that she will magically open up, she likely won’t…because women pretty much set the tempo here and that needs to be respected.

Had fun! That’s all I’ve got.

This place has definitely gone to shit as far as crowd. I was introduced to their old spot several years ago, so I thought it would be fun for some friends to see the place where my crazy stories came from. Sadly the place was pretty much dead. A few lonely men just sitting around with really loud hip hop and rock music playing, which made it very hard to get your groove on even if you wanted to because you were to busy singing or tapping your feet to the music. Few early 90’s pornos playing on all the tvs which seemed to occupy the time for most.
Couples area had 5 different couples just laying around talking and kissing. I went to the front desk and asked where was the crowd and action or if it was always like this? She said it normally starts to get busy round midnight, well we got there at 1030p so we figured we would wait for a little bit longer. 130a and still no crowd, but a few more people did show up, mostly males but still no action.
Sad, because my first experience coming here was exciting, and fun, now its just a hangout for lonely men, and a heavy set dark skinned prostitute with a mohawk afro walking around half ass pleasuring any of the men that were desperate enough to pay her.

I have been a customer of this club for some time now. I was in a bit of– shock — dismay and simply confused when — The door Man whom I have seen several visits prior at the door before U enter «Said «LEAVE «- I had not noticed the younger man and girl with a Large Dog — were Now across from this Bouncer Type Door Man.
He then looked up at the younger man and stated to Me «Boss man says You are Drunk or High «We watched You stagger down the side walk to here ?
Sorry Gentlemen — But I Do Not Drink Liquor — No Street Drugs — and No Smoke Product of any Kind /​/​EVER — — -
So It saddens Me to suggest — Maybe You should find a better way of screening Your Guests — Besides The way They Walk — «I was and Always am 100% Sober «
Sorry Your Boss man Made The Wrong Call — I have never Had any Trouble in Your Club «
If You wish Please have The Owner Call Me 510−294−9567

Over — All Your Club Gets Good Stars From Me /​/​It is Unique !!

A couple months ago, my Director at the accounting firm I work at asked me to organize our annual corporate team building activity. I’ve been really working hard to get a promotion and thought that this was my big chance to impress!
I’ve heard many people muttering around the water cooler about how they feel like they could ‘do a better job than half the managers in this company.’ I thought exchanging the power dynamics among my fellow office dwellers would be a great way for all of us to experience a new position. After a brief google/​yelp search I figured the Power Exchange sounded like the perfect place.
Staff members to whom I spoke on the phone were very friendly, and when I told them a little about what I wanted to accomplish with this group event they assured me that they had the perfect area for us to use. We arrived, 15 of us, on Friday afternoon after our group lunch at the Olive Garden, were given hand stamps (I know, weird right?) and shown to our ‘area.‘
In general the interior was decent looking, obviously decorated by a skilled hand. They even have a pool table if you are in need of some diversion. Lots of dark corners though, and the place was populated mostly by men in various states of scruffiness.
We were ushered to a large space with a big white (dungeon?) bed in the middle, the floor was recessed, giving it a mini ‘coliseum’ vibe. I thought this would be a great arena for our role playing but when we sat on the bed and looked out around the room and saw all the dudes staring lustily at us… apparently this Oz-​like place is a sex club!
My boss and my director were less pleased by all this — I got fired, and worse: they cancelled the team building!
Well, at least I have found a great venue where I can spend my new-​found free time.

My first 1 star rating sadly goes to PE. PE might have been better for my girlfriend and I had the couples area been made private. As luck would have it though, we visited PE the only night of the month when all areas were open to everyone. This «special» night didn’t seem too special though and there were maybe 3 to 4 couples (including us) throughout the entire club. The «single» men were numerous though and stalked us throughout our short stay. The lighting was dark and made it difficult to identify anyone. And although I never felt threatened, I left questioning the level of overall security at the club.

Power Exchange was definitely an experience, and not one I would care to be entertained by again in the future. I’ve never been anywhere like it, and was curious to see what it was about. I saw on their website that it was going to be a Halloween costume theme and there would be no couples only sections. This worried my boyfriend, but I figured it would be okay. Upon arriving we saw that no one was in costume and 90% of people there were single guys. There were 3 floors of areas to enjoy yourself, and along our tour we probably saw 2 or 3 other couples. It was like seagulls seeing a piece of bread; wherever there was action, the single men would congregate. We settled on a spot on the 3^rd floor overlooking the main level that had a stage with several mini couches all around. After a couple minutes of making out, there were guys hovering all around our little couch with their ding dongs out just wacking off a foot or two away. Needless to say, we didn’t get it on and had to go downstairs to get some space. Our visit was maybe 45 minutes at most.

I’ve been to the Power Exchange, and it is a good as it gets for this kind of business. The staff is helpful and courteous. The venue has a lot of room with interesting theme areas. Go with an open mind and a willing partner and it can be a lot of fun.
There are a lot of negative reviews from people who seem to not understand what the Power Exchange is:
It’s not a place to go to have private sex, that would be a hotel folks. You go here to see and be seen, expect it.
You will in all probability see something that you are not comfortable with, feel free to loosen your belt and expand your comfort zone.
It’s sad but true that single dudes are a dime a hundred in the sex business and therefore get valued accordingly. Being a single dude and coming to watch is fine, just don’t expect to be the center of attention.
If having a bunch of dudes wanking in your general vicinity is going to harsh your mellow then don’t go. I find it part of the charm myself. If you are a women, or with a women, expect dudes to mill about you like bees to a flower. The couples only area is a great place to escape to.
If you are a single guy expect to be a part of the wank brigade. The chances that you will be asked to join in a wild sex romp is very low, it can happen but be delighted if it does and not depressed if it doesn’t.
There is no filter at the door to only allow in the «beautiful people» or any other category of people other than those with money. If there were then you probably would not have been allowed in. Complaining that the people do not reach your standard of hotness just makes you look like a douche toad. Enjoy the range of people and body types that you will be exposed to.
Keep an open mind, enjoy your trip, and if it turns out not to be your scene just go somewhere else and don’t slam them for being what they are.

I am way over due in writing this review. A friend of mine was dating the bouncer’s cousin, and we decided to pop in for an anthropological study. Pretty much old dudes in corners choking their chickens. If you are even mildly attractive creeps will follow you around asking if they can jerk off next to you. I think my friend and I spent 15 min or less inside and felt really dirty, but not in the good way.

The power exchange is a fun place to visit if your sex positive or open to experiencing new things. I have been here many times with friends and we always enjoyed ourselves.
The crowds tend to be half creepers and the other half couples/​tranny/​cd. Dont expect to walk in as if it is a porn set shooting an orgy of hot naked people. You will find a variety of looks, shapes, sizes and genders here.

If i could give it 0 stars i would. All the reviews are spot on. Seedy, voyeuristic, and downright creepy. Me and my wife went and haven’t looked back.
Try kinky salon for a 180 on this place. Costume part where dress is mandatory and i PROMISE you won’t be the only person (s) having sex… its almost orgy by the end of the night. You can google it, see you there.

Well was sad when Otis st closed was even more bummed she 960 closed, had a lot of fun there, had a lot of first there LOL. But have to say was pleasently surprised how cool the new PE is kinda cozy In a bordello horror movie retro sex club kinda way, some great nooks and crannies. Meow =^.^=

Fun

I came here with a European sex god and we were the hottest people in the entire joint. That actually isn’t saying much considering this place was chock full of geezers, unattractive single dudes paying $ 60 for the opportunity to masturbate onstage while nobody is watching, fat chicks with bigger belly rolls than boobs giving blowjobs, and trannies. Sadly they weren’t even Asia SF quality trannies, they were hideous and could barely walk in heels. For shame.
PE is basically a maze of creepiness with rooms that resemble the sets of 80s comedy-​horror cheesefests. I’m talking Killer Klowns from Outer Space, The Funhouse, and Waxwork. I kept expecting Freddy Krueger to pop out of the shadows. In addition to the nightmare-​inducing décor, there is a trail of penises painted on the wall leading you down to the whack off room where old bald guys watch nasty porn. We tried to avoid that room but kept ending up in there regardless because there are multiple entrances.
European sex god and I found the least creepy room and tried do stuff but people kept watching us and giving each other the play by play. We asked them to go away and they would leave but then come back a few minutes later. We were already losing the passion and then a member of the staff came over to watch and offered to show me his member. Huh. I thought that guy was supposed to prevent the (other) perv voyeurs from watching us if we didn’t want them to. At least that’s what it says in the «rules» section of PE’s website. We were completely turned off and ready to get the hell out of there. Potential night of steamy hot sex ruined all thanks to this creepy ass joint.
Thank you. The End.

ok, vamos a empesar, somos una pareja que le gusta salir de vez en cuando, hace un tiempo (2008) decidimos ir aun lugar que nos recomendaron, era P /​E este se encontraba en un bellisimo edificio grande, por la ottis de un principio nos dio un poco de nervios pero al entrar fue de lo mas divertido, la decoracio del 10 , ambiente del 10, las personas apesar que dentro del lugar habia poca luz del
te lugar era una opcion muy buena para los que buscabamos otro tipo de divercion, pero a hora fuimos a el nuevo lugar , y que de plano no vale la pena ni siquiera de poner una nota mala por que de plano si ustedes tienen una segunda opcion no lo pienses dos veces el nuevo lugar no tiene ni un poquito de lo fabuloso del antiguo lugar del que solia ir, por favor un aviso a los manejadores del lugar no dejen que personas que nos gustaba ir, dejemos de hacerlo por que ustedes no ponen ateccion al lugar y alas personas que nos gustaba ir a powerexchange.

Y and I came trekking our way here on Christmas Eve and arrived at approximately 10pm. We arrived and, while we packed light, still had a few things to leave to coat check. It was only $ 2, but I felt a bit dubious about the security of my beloved iPhone. My original was kidnapped in Walnut Creek just less than a year ago, so I’ve become more cautious.
Me: Can you keep my coat?
Guy with tattoos: Sure.
Me: Can I put my iPhone in there? You have to guard it with your life!
Guy with tattoos: Yes, you can leave it in there. It’ll be fine.
Me: Are you sure??? What if someone runs in and starts stealing everything!
Guy with tattoos: Does it look like anyone would fuck with me?
Me: … Um.
He assured me he’d kick any ass that came close to my bebe. I kind of didn’t believe him because he seemed more friendly than scarey, but I trusted his muscles a little more than mine.
We walked in, saw that there were 2 men sitting on the couches in front of the stage, and wandered the rest of the venue (empty). Everybody was fully covered. The downstairs was neato! There were these little themed booths (mariachi?, Asia town, freaky clowns, satanic, etc.) which were only lit using black-​lights. There’s also a nice balcony with a few stools to watch the stage. Somehow, a plump man in his late fifties started following us and standing really, really close to me… Everywhere I turned, there he was! Creepy.
We escaped to the restricted «couples room», which is on the other side of the tinted window next to the balcony. We waited and waited, and even met the owners that had stopped by. We complained about the crowd (or lack thereof), but they insisted a decent amount of people would spontaneously appear in an hour or so (11ish). Peeking through the window like puppies, we waited. A fellow on the other side saw us and sat on the stool and started choking his chicken to us. Wtf? We weren’t even getting it on! We tried everything from ignoring him, to burying our faces behind the couch, to making angry faces. He just smiled and started scooting closer to me. Sighs.
He sat there for half an hour choking his chicken. Y and I looked at each other all confused. The guy eventually left, so we did the happy dance. Five minutes later, he came back and started doing the same thing again…
We sat there until 11:45ish and the crowd grew to maybe 10 or 15. Everyone was boring and just sitting around and talking, except two girls (?) who were pole dancing and trying to get monies. Most of the crowd was late fifties and over, and on the hefty side. Though, there was one flamboyant youngster (late thirties) that was sporting a blonde wig and kept things interesting. He pointed to me and yelled, «I WANT (posey)!» We smiled. All of this resonated with us for some time.
I was expecting «Eyes Wide Shut», but was extraneously unimpressed. I got a voucher for free admission on my next visit (they said I came on a bad night), which I still haven’t used. My iPhone was safe and sound, so I was happy.
Sometime over the next few years when SOPA and PIPA somehow pass on the ballots and ruin the internet for me, you’ll know where to find me. No Reddit, Wikipedia, 4Chan, YouTube, Pirate Bay, or LiveScience. So why give away $ 14 for a 2 hour film when you can have hours of everlasting entertainment for $ 10 here? Just be careful and don’t catch HIV!
Until then, I’ll be looking for a new form of entertainment.
