Tickled Pinks at Passion Parties

Passion Parties are the makings of every guy’s fantasy—a bunch of women in one room, liquored up, with an array of vibrators and various other sexual toys. But sorry guys— no men allowed. Started back in 1994 by a company in California, Passion Parties have become increasingly more popular and have replaced the boring Tupperware and candle parties of the past. With products like “Nipple Nibblers,” a tingling, flavored cream for nipples, “the Octopussy Massager” and vibrators by the names of “Jelly Clitorific,” “Jungle Lover” and “Nubby Satisfier,” Passion Parties allow women who are embarrassed to visit sex shops to try the products at home—and try they do.

“Passion Parties are a close, personal way to explore the options available to women regarding sexual experimentation and enhancement,” former Passion Party consultant Aaron Whitfield said. “Unlike going to a retail store, Passion Parties bring the store into your living room. There is no embarrassment of walking in and out of the store, no stranger watching you—you can touch, feel and thoroughly examine and even try some of the products which you may be interested in.” When I attended one for a friend’s birthday party, it wasn’t the orgy most men expect them to be, but expressing yourself sexually was definitely allowed. To the left of me, a girl was testing the power of a vibrating “bullet” by holding it between her legs and the girl to the right of me was testing the “Nipple Nibblers” underneath her shirt—all very discreetly of course.

Whether it was the six glasses of wine or the comfortable atmosphere that Passion Parties create, as the consultant passed products around and explained their benefits and how they worked, I found myself discussing which vibrator to buy with women whose names I couldn’t even remember. Suddenly talking about masturbating and different sexual partners wasn’t any different then talking about shoes and purses. At the end of the night, we lined up to purchase our new toys and while everyone was deciding between the famous “Rabbit” vibrator or the “Decadent Indulgence”—a nine-inch long dildo with eight levels of accelerating vibrations, three unique patterns of graduated rhythmic motion, nine strategically placed heavy-duty rotating pleasure beads, deep penetrating rotating head, nubby ticklers and caressing fluttering wings—I decided that this was well worth my time and my purchases would definitely be more beneficial than a new container for my leftovers.
