Orgies and play parties can take a variety of forms, and being specific about the sort of experience you want to have will help make sure you end up at the right one for you.
For instance, swingers parties at a club are generally quite different to BDSM events that take place in 'dungeon' spaces. These in turn are different from bigger social events that have separate play rooms and private parties that people host at home. Most parties tend to last all evening until the early hours, although there are longer, weekend-er style events out there too.
These environments tend to include a lot of straight couples, and often market themselves on having a selective admissions policy. Happily, we stayed long enough for the lovely host to open the door and introduce us to the other guests, all of whom had similar tales about last minute panics.
These parties run more like a club night, with cabaret, DJs, social space and separate play rooms. The only entrance criteria for Sparkle Hard is that you like glitter and unicorns and it's generally a really body positive event.
For those seeking glamorous femmes on femme action, Skirt Club might be right for you. For the more kinky among us, I would recommend trying After Pandora or Subversion. While not strictly a sex party, Torture Garden remains as visually spectacular as ever, and has enough play space to swing a pair of leather chaps.
