It certainly isn’t in one suburb of Austin, Texas:
DUNCANVILLE, Texas — The most popular address on Cedar Ridge Drive is Jim Trulock’s split-level home, which has a group sex room and attracts as many as 100 people to swinger parties featuring “Naked Twister” nights.
But the festivities could soon be over. In response to neighbors’ complaints, the city has outlawed sex clubs in residential areas. Citations have been issued, and search warrants may be next.
“It’s crazy that they want to force their morality down our throats,” said Dawn Burton, 45, a regular guest at the parties. “We’re all frustrated.”
So are those who complain of the noise, traffic and parking problems that occur in their otherwise quiet, upscale neighborhood every Friday and Saturday, when Trulock’s home is transformed into “The Cherry Pit.”
But those darn uptight prudes want to ban it:
Duncanville officials insist they are not just another prudish Texas town giving the boot to spouse-swappers. They say it all boils down to a matter of law: Trulock is operating a business featuring live sex acts.
“It’s not trying to judge anyone or pass judgment on someone’s lifestyle,” city spokeswoman Tonya Lewis said.
To support its claim, the city notes that the Cherry Pit accepts money from guests and promotes the parties on its Web site.
“We’re not about infringing on the rights of the Cherry Pit patrons or owners,” Lewis said. “But now your right to have fun has infringed on everyone else’s. And now you have to draw the line.”
Or maybe some of the neighbors are just upset that they weren’t invited.

This reminded me of the movie,”10″, where Dudley Moore’s character was on the other side of a ravine looking through a telescope at the wild party/orgy going on. He eventually made it there, drink in hand.
The issue which has brought this to the surface is the disruption of the neighborhood, the excessive traffic of all things, that is what got them upset. Had it not been so over the top nobody would have cared. What was going on inside the house, is secondary to the so called morals of the community. If they would keep it from becoming a circus they could do almost anything.
