That's really cool, I would totally be down for reading an article or watching a video essay that goes into the differences between clubs with and without phones.
I did a little research and apparently there are sexy clubs where you can hang out in rooms and do consensually sexy things and everyone is cool with it. I don't go clubbing, but I would assume it's a little different here in the states.
I was curious so I looked it up, seems like it started floating around in the late 1800's, but realy evolved to it's current form in the mid 1900's (though it's always attributed to being a much older proverb.)
