Please drink responsibly, even when participating in a disappointing group sex event. Photos by Stephen Keefe. Millennials are going through a bit of an identity crisis right now. We aren't quite as addicted to the internet as middle-schoolers being raised on iPads, but we're not completely free of the sometimes soul-sucking grasp of social media either. We're equipped with the same idealism and emphasis on self-exploration as our hippie parents, but we don't really have the economy to all turn our dreamworlds into a reality.
Most people in this predicament drown out the dissonance with designer drugs and binge drinking. I tried a slightly different route, but I didn't have that much company from people my age. My brief introduction into the kink and alternative party scene in Montreal has mostly seen me encounter baby boomers and Gen Xers. Maybe it's the natural progression of things, or maybe our generation is more comfortable taking risks chemically than doing so on our own two feet.
Whatever it is, there's a distinct lack of us out there, and it can be somewhat isolating. When two of my Tinder matches and I went to a swinger's club on Valentine's Day , we were the youngest people there by a few decades and felt somewhat out of our element.
So my two matches, Rose and Daphnee, decided to throw their own private sex party with younger people and asked me to co-host. To be honest, I was a bit orgied-out, but I've always been curious about what it's like on the organizational side of an orgy. And, really, what's the harm? So I agreed. We started a Facebook thread to bounce ideas off each other and came up with a skeleton for our party.
We decided we would have 25 single guests who we all agreed were open-minded, fun, and reasonably attractive. We decided on a two-to-one girl-to-guy ratio since more girls seems to put everyone at ease. The first floor would be candle-lit with a dress code of underwear and lingerie, with snacks, drinks, and a live DJ. The downstairs would have three beds, with new sheets and enough condoms for everyone.
