"The best experiences I’ve had have been going to swingers’ parties held in the West End and stately homes in the countryside, but you don’t find out the venue until hours before..."

"... either through the WhatsApp group or posted on the event’s socials. It’s way better than a nightclub. You might live in the middle of nowhere and have big, bold or boring lives, but on this night you get to be with 150 people who are all up for it.... The next party I’m going to has... [a rule that] if your outfit isn’t good enough, you have to take it all off at the door. There are body painters inside who can make anyone look good — they even do vajazzling. I remember being at a party where a beautiful blonde girl got out of a taxi wrapped in a silver cloak. She passed through the entrance hall, shrugged off the cloak, and walked into the party completely naked. I also have a friend who has been going for years and always does the same joke — when he gets in, he strips to nothing but a codpiece and walks around going, 'This is so embarrassing — no one told me there was a dress code.'"

Yet another article about how everyone is having more sex than you.

Aggie said...

Well, there's a new word.

The Eyes Wide Shut Generation was doing it before it was cool.

Vajazzling. Looks like a sparkly dried Apricot. A moron would know that.

Dave Begley said...

Muslims will stop this when they are fully in charge. Brits should have thought of that before they allowed the invasion.

RCOCEAN II said...

Sex sells newspapers. I suppose the internet makes it easier to organize sex orgies, but I doubt they were invented by "Gen Z".

Mary Beth said...

Are they really "flocking" to these parties? If everyone is going, is it really news anymore?

I wouldn't require a dress code, I'd require a current STI screening.

Ann Althouse said...

"Well, there's a new word."

An old word becomes new again. That's how far out of fashion vajazzling has fallen. The word emerged circa 2010, when it was easy to see the components of the portmanteau. The "vaj" was obvious, but so was the "azzling," because we knew about the Bedazzler, which was "The cheap-ass rhinestone-studding tool favored by art teachers and over-excitable soccer moms everywhere, the biggest piece of crap sold on late-night TV since the ThighMaster, the reason women own shirts with glittery kitty-cats on them" (as it was put so well by a commenter quoted at the Wikipedia article for the Bedazzler).

RideSpaceMountain said...

@Dave Begley, nah...they'll just have Imams at the door to marry people as they come in and say "divorce" 3 times on their way out. Who knows, some of those birds may enjoy the sister-wife experience....the ones in the article seem adventurous.

Enigma said...

Hugh Hefner wakes from his grave and grabs a bathrobe.

Every generation thinks they invented sex.

Big Mike said...

Gen-Z invented them but Romans called tbem orgies. Hmmm

Ann Althouse said...

"Are they really "flocking" to these parties?"

The last time I talked about flocking around here it was about the hair on a Ken doll:

February 9, 2006
The new Ken doll.

He's into Buddhism, we're told. Shouldn't Buddhists be freaking out about the use of their religion as a fashion accessory?

UPDATE: I have one of the original Ken dolls -- complete with flocked hair. But I never got any outfits for him, so he only ever had his red bathing trunks. Because my Barbie was "Negligée Barbie," she did not have that classic swimsuit, and I never bought her one. Thus, my version of the famous couple had a doomed relationship.

Mary Beth said...

Muslims will stop this when they are fully in charge.

Based on the grooming gangs, the parties will be for Muslim men and young British women/girls.

Actually, I'm not sure it's not like that now. Of the people interviewed, "Anthony" doesn't give his full name or even his real name and he's the only one without a photo.

Peachy said...

I find the whole "Flocking to group sex" situation - gross. always have - always will.
Also- this notion of slagging on prudes. F off.

What ever happened to romance? Love?

mindnumbrobot said...

That's gross.

Peachy said...

hormones make people do stupid stuff.

Lazarus said...

Sounds like the people Evelyn Waugh wrote about between the World Wars. People who vajazzle or even know the word "vajazzle" do things like this. People who don't, don't -- and the internet tells me that "vajazzling" came and went in the 2010s without my even having heard anything about it.

Peachy said...

btw - to the dudes. Would you want to have sex with a slutty woman who likes to have sex with lots of strangers?

Bob Boyd said...

You had a Ken doll and it's only garment was a pair of shorts?
Maybe repressed childhood fashion trauma by proxy is behind your lifelong aversion to men in shorts.

Joe Bar said...

"No, no, no!"

narciso said...

and they wonder where the aids epidemic came from

narciso said...

one wishes I hadn't heard of such things,

but consider Romans 1,

William said...

Decadence ain't what it used to be. Do they have vomitoriums? I didn't read the article, but who here believes that girls that like those in the article have sex with random strangers on their weekends off.

mezzrow said...


Fear not, little flock, whatever your lot,
He enters all rooms, “the doors being shut”
He never forsakes, He never is gone,
So count on His presence in darkness and dawn.

Only believe, only believe;
All things are possible, only believe;
Only believe, only believe;
All things are possible, only believe.

Yancey Ward said...

Q: What did one shepherd say to the other shepherd?

A: Let's get the flock out of here.

Immanuel Rant said...

This feels . . . empty.

James K said...

This is connected to the Lindy West discussion yesterday. People who disregard long-held norms usually discover the hard way that they were there for good reasons.

Ron Winkleheimer said...

And yet I am also seeing lots of posts and articles saying Gen Zs are becoming more religious and "flocking" to traditional Roman Catholic Latin Masses or joining the Greek Orthodox church.

narciso said...

Leave it to the Thunderer to miss the point

stunned said...

Please don’t forget that Gen Z was raised by Gen X and late Baby Boomers, the very same people who popularized numerical rating system to rank women.

Randomizer said...

Gen-Z isn't prudish. Guys don't know what the rules are for dating, and making a mistake can be costly. The most attractive guys can get with mid-range women all day, but the women wonder why guys won't commit.

I remember being at a party where a beautiful blonde girl got out of a taxi wrapped in a silver cloak. She passed through the entrance hall, shrugged off the cloak, and walked into the party completely naked.

That never happened.

That whole article read like fan fiction.

Jimmy said...

Gosh, reading the Times article makes me wish I was in my 20s again- So I can ignore pretentious assholes like those listed in the article, just like I did during the 'everybody' is fu+king at the cool sex parties in the 70s.

Wince said...

The two women in the article are probably paid.

Once you get there, it's dudes, like a nude beach.

Iman said...

Rumor or as experienced, Wince?

Mary Beth said...

My college boyfriend's sister had a flock-headed Ken doll when she was little. My boyfriend, who was a few years younger than she, liked the feel of the fuzz so much he kept rubbing it with his thumb until he rubbed it off. She obviously hadn't forgiven him a decade and a half later, if she had, I doubt I would have ever heard the story.

"Flock" that is a group comes from Old Norse while "flock" that is woolly fuzz probably comes from Latin by way of Old French. (Or am I the only one who was wondering about this?)

Iman said...

“It was right there… wagging in front of my face. What could I do?! I had to suck it.”

Peachy said...

I had barbie dolls. Not many, but one or two. I'd chop their hair off and - well - who knew I turned them into lesbians.

Enigma said...

Real vs. fiction:

1. There are genuine swinger subcultures like this out there. See Tinder, Grindr, the CraigsList escort lawsuit, and the public humuliation of the Ashley Madison fantasy guys.

2. The women who participate are mostly paid to be there, and there are some willing ones. Also consider the cam girl industry.

D.D. Driver said...

Would you want to have sex with a slutty woman who likes to have sex with lots of strangers?

You mean like Stormy Daniels? Who wouldn't?!

Iman said...

DeeDee doo.

typingtalker said...

" ... so why are twentysomethings flocking ... "

Relative to the total number of twentysomethings, it's a pretty small flock.

Peachy said...

DD D-leftist - Stormy passed out! So very hollywood. LOL... you can buy it. ... and obsess endlessly. Because Donald's penis is HUGE.
Poor baby.

D.D. Driver said...

It's funny watching "conservatives" clutch their pearls over young people having sex after voting for Grab 'Em By the Pussy.

Grow up, losers.

Isn't this what nudist clubs were for?

DDD - dedicated dem cultist. Now do Eric Swalwell and Bill Clintin - you jackass.

JI at LT is braying to force a consensus. A secular, hedonistic religion to lead the holey fluckers. Planned Parenthood umbrella corporation has been retained to abort, sequester any "burdens" that may be conceived.

Movie cliche.

Ted said...

This sounds like every "exclusive" club / party scene reported by the media since the 1970s -- the entire thing is made up of 200 wealthy and/or well-connected people, and a couple hundred more trying to prove they're attractive enough to get in.

loudogblog said...

Gen Z is not even close to the generation that made The Playboy Mansion and Studio 54 mainstream.

buwaya said...

Sounds like the backstory to an episode of "Absolutely Fabulous" (dont blame, my wife is the anglophile). Eddie and Patsy reminiscing about their escapades.

Josephbleau said...

The typical person in the UK does not get to go to parties in the west end or at the stately homes of England, except perhaps for unattached young women who wear little under their coats.

n.n said...

Are the gay parties Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive of back... black holes... whores h/t NAACP at the intersection of racism and sexism?

RideSpaceMountain said...

I'm sure the leather harnesses at the stately homes are vegan, the young British zenerationals shan't attend otherwise. Priorities.

CJinPA said...

"Why Gen Z say yes, yes, yes to sex parties. They’re supposedly the prudish and sober generation — so why are twentysomethings flocking to polyamorous foam parties and BDSM dungeons in secret warehouses?

Hilarious that they forced "polyamorous" into the headline to differentiate it from monogamous sex parties.

Anything to get the Current Buzz Word before eyeballs.

Iman said...

“Movie cliche.”

Well played, sir… 😆

Jersey Fled said...

Once you’ve sold your soul to the devil to get that great job, or the girl you wanted, or revenge on your worst enemy, or maybe even to become the best golfer in the world, the rest is inevitable.

mikee said...

DD Driver still, even now, at this late date, he STILL does not understand that Trump's comment was a condemnation of modern women who will give their all for the merest celebrity notice or contact. Trump is a creature of his era, growing up amid excesses of vice among his social status that would make a blue collar worker bleary eyed and tired until next Wednesday. Calling women slutty over celebrities is about the most banal comment he could make about women at that time. Now Clinton, he sent his State Trooper contingent out to pander for him. That was different, right?

Everyone knows a West End town is a dead-end world.

baghdadbob said...

Enough Vajazzling. The new word of the day is "Bimbofication." Google it.

bagoh20 said...

"Would you want to have sex with a slutty woman who likes to have sex with lots of strangers?"

That's what she said, and she was immediately surrounded by men offering drinks.

bagoh20 said...

Nobody is transitioning at this party.

wendybar said...

I hope they are smart enough to have safe sex. We don't need more abortions (and fatal STD's)

Valentine Smith said...

Aristos have been engaging in said activities since long before Messalina. It comes with the privilege.
By the way, don’t come late to the festivities because the smell alone will put you off food for a week.

Sean said...

No do The Villages

bagoh20 said...

There is a swingers club near my house. It's just a large home that has parties. Entry for couples is $50, women are free. single men $70. BYOB. Clothing option once on the property. Verbal consent is required before any touching, and can be withdrawn at any time. No drugs. I don't think I could enjoy that, especially knowing most people are not sexy.

Iman said...

“I hope they are smart enough to have safe sex.”

I suspect there’s a large contingent that will take what they can get, wendybar. 😁

A Diddy Party with crooked teeth limeys

All of those people deserve each other.

Jim at said...

Once again - on a subject that has absolutely nothing to do with Trump - a certain asshole just has to make it about Trump.

She says, hey mister, wanna take a walk in the wild West End, sometime?
And I get trouble with my breathing
And she says boys don't know anything....

Guess they're into expresso love....CC, JSM
