*No membership required, must be 19 years +
The elevator doors open into a red-carpeted room lit with light bright enough to see by yet dim enough to create an inviting mood. A smiling volunteer offers to check any coats and bags you won't be needing for the evening ahead of you. Then after making your payment, you are finally permitted to see what is behind the screen blocking your view of the rooms and noise beyond.
A full pay bar sits at one side of the main room (you can leave your credit card with them), which holds chairs and candle-lit tables with light snacks for a casual socializing atmosphere. Further on, there is a massive room, 2500 sq. ft set up with BDSM furniture (suspension frames, spanking benches, tables with anchor points, intermixed with massage tables and other naughty sex pieces) and beyond them is a no-voyeurs room for couples only sex play with six full beds and 1000 sq ft. The space has music piped in and contains a stocked area of safer sex supplies, fresh bedding, massage oils and cleanup supplies. Even if you are early, you may see someone already at play in the rooms -- people here are keen to have fun and make the most of their night out.
A Libido Events Naughty Party has an atmosphere distinctly different from a fetish night. It shares the no-streetwear rule: wear your fetish wear, sexy clothing or even nothing at all (the temperature on this floor is set to "naked"). No jeans, sweat pants, boxer shorts or flannel pj bottoms. Dress to impress. However, the main difference is that sex and kink are not kept separate. You are as likely to see someone tied to a table and receiving oral sex as you are to see someone bent over getting a spanking or flogging. Swingers, kinksters, voyeurs, exhibitionists and people of every sexuality are welcome. Come see for yourself what a Naughty Party is like.

Jennifer's Tips for a Successful Experience at a Libido Events Play Party
1. Be friendly, make eye contact and introduce yourself to everyone you meet or sit next to. Smile.
2. Be complimentary of the people you meet, there is an attractive quality in or on everyone, find it and make that your compliment. Watch what happens when you make someone feel good about themselves.
3. Keep a respectable distance when watching people play and offer no comments, positive or otherwise. Make no deliberate eye contact with people playing, it's a mood breaker that violates others sacred space.
4. Invite or offer play once to the person you’re interested in. If met by a no, accept it gracefully, don’t take it personally and move on; do not make a request of someone twice. Smile
5. If invited to play by someone that doesn’t interest you, be kind, yet firm, when saying no, and remember it took a lot of courage for that person to put themselves out there. Smile and be grateful for the attention.
6. Have no expectations, then what does happen, will be a bonus.
7. Watch whatever you like and turn your back on anything that isn't of interest to you, but never offer comment.
8. Buy someone a drink or exchange e-mail addresses, make a new friend, two or three.
9. Thank the volunteers that help make this event possible and make your experience a positive one. (makes them feel good and helps you get comfortable talking to people in sex-positive space)
10. If you have a problem with a person, an activity going on, or understanding something, find a Monitor (wearing a PINK armband) or Jennifer to help you figure things out.
11. Remember to treat the venue with respect & tidy up after yourself. This includes putting garbage in the proper containers supplied in each room. Changing your sheets in the sex room after using a bed and putting the soiled sheet in the rooms laundry bin. Spraying down a piece of equipment in the Play rooms after playing on it; use the sanitizer and paper towels provided.
12. Be prepared to talk about yourself in some way and at the same time, listen to who you are standing in front of. This is for those that are hoping to play with the person. Smile
13. Treat everyone well. You will want to be known as that type of person. This will make you more comfortable, thus making others comfortable with you and opportunities to present themselves.
14. Never touch someone without their full consent & welcome.
15. Adhere to our House Rules posted at the Naughty Party. Smile.
16. If you are a man attending and plan on attending alone, know that your chances for finding play in any form go up exponentially if you arrive with a date. You don’t need to play together, but arriving with someone makes you appear safer to others looking at you as a potential play partner for the evening.
17. Remember that you can attend the next Naughty Party and meet other new people then. This may be your first party but it's not ours, Libido Events is not going anywhere. So do not make snap decisions thinking that this will be your only opportunity, know that you can meet that person or opportunity here again and nothing will be lost. [only enhanced with want & time]
18. Libido Events supplies the equipment but you must bring your own sex toys. Clean up & safer sex supplies along with linens are all provided.
*bringing your own sex toys means items such as: favorite condoms, favorite lube, floggers, canes, handcuffs, rope, chains, paddles, house coats etc
19. Remember Naughty Parties have a dress code of sexy pajamas or fetish attire, absolutely no street wear of any kind. Those in street wear will not be permitted to enter. Smile.
20. If you're uncertain of what to wear, try something from this list of suggestions:
PJ's bottoms, Nighties, Lingerie, Silks, Lace, Bra and Panty sets, Nude, Sheer, Rope Harnesses, Chaps, Leather, Latex, PVC, Vinyl, Rubber, Wetlook, Body Paint, Saran Wrap, Liquid Latex, Corsets, Feathers, Thongs, Stockings, Spandex, Heels, Boots, Cabaret, Tuxedo Jacket [sans pants], Uniforms, Smoking Jackets, Kilts, Cross-Dress, Furry, Vintage, Victorian, Gothic, Gender-bend, Fetish Glam, Porn Star...or any other risqué costume you can dream up! Dress to impress and let your own personality shine in your choice of clothing or costume.
21. Leave your valuables at home. There is a bank machine in the building (though not on our floor) and the full bar does accept credit cards. Bring a small tote bag to put your street clothes in at our coat check once you arrive.
