Well, perhaps there's a clue to be gotten here.
It's possible these sorts of establishments are antithetical to the common good. As I said, such freedoms practiced in the home are tolerable. It's an open question whether society ever would or should sanction them in a public, semi-public, zoned, or regulated venue. At some point - as witnessed by the HIV-saturated "bath houses" of NYC and elsewhere in the 1980s - public health issues are smart policy.

What if the club were members only? You don't(and can't) just walk in the front door out of curiosity. Everyone knows everyone else, and the only way you join is you're brought by a friend. Thus your concerns about health are alleviated. Is the club still a danger to the public good?
