For the first hour or two, you might even forget the reason why you're here. Apart from a couple of topless young women, who could be escapees from a frisky college party, the vibe is low-key – a bit of dancing, a little flirtatious banter, but not much more. And then, like something from a vampire movie, at 1am almost to the second, this subdued affair transforms surprisingly quickly into a full-blown orgy.

This is one weird story! Not a word about safe-sex. Who thinks that the British are staid and "proper" these days? BTW this anonymous sex is NOT my cup of tea at all.. The pre-AIDS 60's were MUCH more fun in England and most other places!

[And yesterday they were stripping naked in the office! What has happened to staid and stodgy England? Its true though that there was always a vice-ridden underworld too]-

The widespread use of sex for pleasure began in about 1998 or 1999. At that time, many twenty somethings or thirty somethings were feverishly engaged in examining and debugging gazillions of lines of computer code in order to prevent the impending collapse of civilization forecast for January 1, 2000. Those who could not debug turned to sex.

Prior to that if sex was thought of at all, it was for mundane purposes such as propogating the species. -

Can anyone say Penthouse Forum... I believe that story as much as Big Foot sightings are connected to UFO sightings.

I have dated a lot of women that were the sex on the first date type. I had very little interest in that scene. I never ever heard anyone talk of orgies, or even threesomes. I'm sure if I had the time I could find four women that would do that. Don't expect any beauties, same for the guys!!

Thanks G. This is really a sad social statement of self-deception supported by trendy rationalizations that cannot possibly meet the test of time. Framing these affairs as the female's version of sexual assertiveness truly lacks a valid excuse for irresponsible indulgence. As a man who has experienced the misgivings of over-indulgence and escapism through misusing sexual gratification, I know that this is not a case, which justifies gender equality.

Some of us learn early, some late, and some - never at all that sexuality is more than an appetite and whim to be shared randomly during periods when "meaningful relationships" are unavailable or inappropriate. Pleeeze! Squeeze the KY and cultivate a good fantasy with your horny self and for goodness sakes leave your meaningless relationships unharmed. -

Okay - I find this disturbing. The discussion of a long term
Reply
relationship at some future time doesn't factor in ANY of the
hazards these groups "flirt" with.
This is the age of wondering if some total stranger is going to
snap a photo of you in the loo, for God's sake! They have to be
members - Oh - I'm so sure that makes it all nice and private!
They will mature at some point and rue the day they ever thought
this was such an empowering experience.....I fear.
Such behavior is nothing new - it's been around for centuries -
but the TECHNOLOGY to keep your image, hence your personal
history, out there for ALL(including future children or spouses) to see for decades in living color - even video.....that these
young women need to THINK! Maybe they really don't care -
maybe it will never bother them.....but if it does? They are
going to experience a world of hurt. Wise up, babes!!-

Ante and Gama you both raised some good points. The one most obvious and one I wish the reporter could've found out more about. Who organizes this? Whose home? Who is making the money?
Reply
To me this raises some really big concerns. If it is a male or group of males getting their rocks off organizing this: a. are they participants? Ie the few males in attendance? Something tells me no. b. since it's a private mansion, could there not be a secret room downstairs and upstairs where the organizers could not only watch but film it?

I am not sure because men die way earlier than women so if you are a dude and make it to old age the nursing home is where you have the odds in your favor.

Hm. Different strokes. Which may mean something different in context.
Reply
I don't favor getting it on in a crowd.
And "biggest grossers?" That's definitely a phrase which could be taken the wrong way in the context of sex toys.
In fact, "taken the wrong way" probably will lead to misunderstandings as well... -

So what can one conclude?
Reply
S/he/it is/isn't a raging pervert?
A mysterious stand in for the gangster-perpetrators?
Alas! We will probaby never know anything interesting about sjsa except that perhaps for a few instants they felt the whirr of the propeller.

This isn't new.These orgy's and group sex party's have been around for thousands of years,The only difference,at least on the surface,is that woman have more say so in the proceedings..
Reply
Not for me,to many people and i am over thirty..:-)
The only thing i would worry about would be disease.As a product of the sixty's i had my share of fun,and many others share also..lolol,so i have little room to talk when it come to right and wrong in others sexual affairs.My dad said if i had been born a woman i would have been called a sl.t(see the stereotyping?).If these people are adults and this is the decision they make then what ever happens in the future is based on their choice and they will have to live with it.
In America the hypocrisy concerning sexual matters is legend.We have a porn industry that rakes in about five billion a year,sex toys bring in another billion,and not many admit to buying or using either,all the while we have unwanted pregnancy's, and not enough education on disease and some of the emotional aspects of a very promiscuous lifestyle. ...lol...Must be liberals only..sorry couldn't resist.
I see nothing wrong with it if you are informed and protected,in fact i might have a bit of envy that i never got to experience something like that.:-) -
