A sex-free ‘sex party’ is coming to Brooklyn
If sex parties intrigue you but you’re not ready to well, go there, a new event may be the perfect safe space to explore a sexy group get-together.
The first-ever NoSex Sex Party will take place on Saturday, July 29, in a loft in Gowanus, with sex-positives themes—but no actual sex allowed.
RECOMMENDED: A sizzling adult circus with a backstage restaurant is now open outside New York
So what’s a sexless ‘sex party’ look like? It will be sexy, for sure. Hosted by hookup app Headero, the sex-themed party is designed to create a safe space for exploration with absolutely no pressure. In fact, actually having intercourse at the party is not allowed.
Instead, guests can dance while DJs spin near a dance floor, hang in a themed lounge with cocktails and open sexual discussion. A pro photographer in a photobooth won’t stop their subjects from stripping, and if you need inspo, on-stage performances will be there to observe. Sensory and kink sexploration stations can help engage your imagination and pro-dommes on stage will be looking for audience participation. Niki Davis-Fanblooom will be offering sensual chocolate sexplorations and PLANETWOMB will lead erotic tarot. Sydona will lead a rope station and performance artists The Bluenettes will lead the impact station & St Andrews Cross. It’s definitely a vibe, with sexual liberation as the guiding principle of the inclusive fete.
There’s no dress code, kink wear and gear are permitted, but full nudity is not. Staff and volunteers will be on-site to ensure the experience is safe and consensual for all.
Tickets to the NoSex Sex Party are $50 via Eventbrite. Doors open at 9pm and the party will rage until 2am.
See butter carving, prize-winning livestock and celebrities at this year’s New York State Fair
Annual reminder that New York isn’t just a city, it’s a whole, wonderful state!
And if you’ve ever ventured out of the city so nice they named it twice, you’ve probably realized that so much of our wonderful area is farmland and agriculture as at the heart of what makes New York so special—all that farm-to-table produce at your favorite Manhattan spot has to come from somewhere.
To celebrate all the wonderful things that live and grow in New York State, the annual New York State Fair pops up in Syracuse at the end of every summer. Think butter carving, livestock competitions, squash the size of your Brooklyn one-bedroom, top talent headlining the stages and deep-fried everything.
It’s a very good time. And if you’re heading up north from the city, you can take advantage of direct Amtrak train service straight from midtown to the State Fair.
