Dungeons are absolutely legal, unless they're being run on a commercial basis, in which case they're still legal unless there's sexual conduct for pay or other criminal conduct going on in them, in which case they're not.

It was a fine home, with a nice mix of features that would appeal to a broad class of Buyers. And the Realtor, who worked for commissions, could imagine quick success with income earned toward the expenses of living, working, playing, worshipping and paying tuition (for Penn and West Catholic) in the village. But the interview was strange. Conversation seemed to dance around some invisible elephant and the Seller seemed reluctant to show the basement or major systems. The talk kept drifting toward "protected classes", liberality of "beliefs" and areas that seemed uncomfortably entwined with "Fair Housing" standards (which the Realtor supports). Ultimately, during the verbal jousting, the Realtor satisfied some Seller need, and was permitted admission to the basement. And in an "A-Ha!" moment, the Realtor discovered the source of anxiety as the Seller opened a door unto a "dungeon". This presented a marketing challenge! Especially since the Seller refused to store the equipment during the marketing period. The Seller would not risk any prolonged lack of access to (income from?) the equipment. Sunday "Open Houses" and unrestricted Other Agent or Buyer access were not options for this job. The Realtor wracked her brain to determine the "who" of the best prospective Buyers and the most appropriate style of advertising. It was agreed that a few "look-e-loos" could be accommodated, but that nosy neighbors (often a great marketing asset) and any one who might be truly horrified should be kept out. And so, after careful consideration the following Ad was written, 3+ Bedrooms, 1.5 baths, garage with fully furnished dungeon and submitted to the INQUIRER. No address was posted in the ad, and the Realtor agreed to be the first line of defense against folks who were merely curious and not likely Buyers. Calls were made to bartenders and staffs of clubs that might encounter and identify folks, seeking a Dungeon upgrade. And a few appointments were quickly made. The first prospective Buyer walked through the house, disappointed it was so "average and bourgeois" and when he arrived at the basement sniffed, "it's only pleather, it will have to be redone". The Realtor, mentally scratching her head, was surprised that the quality of the dungeon fixtures had become a negotiating point. And began the search for a better, Buyer, fit. Than at home, at 11 PM, the Agent, catching up on news outside the village, watched a story unfold about the arrest of a Dominatrix in a ritzy Suburb of Philadelphia. And heard a significant announcement, "Dungeons are not legal". The Agent had no time to verify this statement, but could not risk being the cause of legal difficulty for the Seller. A call was made to the Inquirer, in the hopes of changing the ad, but the deadline was passed and no words could be removed or replaced. The Realtor begged, climbed channels and persisted and finally a "suit" directed a printer in some remote workroom to ink through the ad, making two lines black / not readable. Thinking she had dodged the bullet, the Realtor waited until morning and called the Seller, to say "read the paper" and realize that "The dungeon needs to be dismantled or disguised to safeguard your freedom. I was able to pull the ad, but what do you want to do now?" And so, the listing was terminated and the Seller lived for many more years in her home in UC Village. And the Realtor received no cash compensation for the hours of work consumed by the interview, showing, preparation of flyers, torture by Inquirer, etc. but has a funny tale and greater understanding of the diversity of UC village I hope you enjoy this dungeon tale and that every Village Adult finds the romance that suits their needs and desires.
