passion parties-

[LeftyMom]

Have you gone to one or hosted one? How did it go? Was the stuff any good?

A friend is having one tonight, I'm invited but I'm not sure if I want to go.

edit: please try to keep it clean enough to stay open, folks. Thanks.

1. they are a blast

[Deja Q]

10. No pun intended, surely?

:evilgrin:

[Rising Phoenix]

15. no pun intended....and don't call me surely.....

:evilgrin:

[JVS]

2. Is that some kind of orgy?

[LeftyMom]

3. No, it's like a tupperware party, but with vibrators instead of plastic bowls. nt

[JVS]

6. I'd pass.

[Xipe Totec]

11. So, what do you serve the guests at these parties?

[BarenakedLady]

20. The one I went to

Had a cake shaped like a male's genitalia. There was also an ice sculpture of the same shape. Oh and candy necklaces and other party favors.

[Xipe Totec]

24. No passion fruit?!

I would be disappointed.

[eyesroll]

4. I've never been...and it would depend entirely on who was hosting it as to whether I'd go.

If it's the friend with the bored-housewife friends who answered thusly when I asked my friend if she was planning to return to her job after her baby was born -- "She's going to have the most IMPORTANT job in the WORLD! She'll be a MOMMY! And YOU can't POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND what that MEANS!" -- then no. I have a hard enough time being around that group at a regular gathering; I just don't want to be around them squealing and giggling about vibrators and "eeeew"-ing at anything with the "safe for anal use" label. Which you know they will. (Edit: She hosts Pampered Chef. I don't go to those either.)

Someone I went to college with, maybe.

[LeftyMom]

5. I can't picture that being an issue.

Drunken dildo swordfights maybe...

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. I believe that we have discovered the Phrase of the Day!

Or a supremely excellent name for a band.

[Connonym]

7. how about one to profit Drinking Liberally?

:hi: haven't see you around how's it going?

[eyesroll]

22. We can't reliably host anymore (work/school/etc.) so it's dead until someone steps up.

:hi:

That would be kind of fun at Club G, though...:D

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Just be sure the Pampered Chef and Passion parties aren't held simultaneously.

That could get weird...

[SPKrazy]

9. I would love to go

but I doubt I'll get invited to one ever :P

:rofl:

[Turbineguy]

12. Does it help

if you know a little about machinery?

[BarenakedLady]

13. I did!

It was a blast. Of course, it was with my best friends and we got totally drunk. I did come home with purchases. ;)

[xmas74]

14. I love them enough

that I'm saving my loose change. I want to purchase a kit and start doing the parties myself. (For profit, of course.)

You'll see. They are quite fun and a great place for women to let their hair down and talk about sex.

[madeline_con]

16. I'd worry about whether some friends were the right "type".

How does onre know if the prospective guest might be mortified? :shrug:

[zingaro]

17. I wish I knew someone having one.

I'm so in the market for new toys. :rofl:

[xmas74]

18. I'm thinking about going into sales.

One of the companies offers a website. If I do it I'll send you the link.

[AZBlue]

21. Did you go? How was it?

I went to one many years ago - it was given by a co-worker. Talk about getting to know your fellow employees.....

She served margaritas, so that made it even funnier.

[Kat45]

23. I used to be the salesperson running those parties

It was a company called Just For Play, over 20 years ago. It was a blast doing those parties. One time I did a party hosted by a woman whose ex-husband was a cop, and he and his partner stopped by the party, in full uniform, in the middle of their shift. One of them bought something. :rofl:

[Digit]

25. What a coincidence, I worked for them, too, but in the office.

I was mgr in charge of training...and it was in the early 80's for me.

I bet the officers coming in like that in full uniform was a surprise!

[Kat45]

27. Wow! You're kidding me--you worked there?

That's a riot. Most people have never heard of the company. I worked in the early '80s also. Were you based in NY? I worked in the Boston area. Did you ever do trainings there? That job was so much fun. It was a surprise when the officers came in, but I knew that it was the hostess' ex-husband so I didn't freak out. I had even more fun doing my presentation because the cops came out of curiousity and were sometimes laughing uncomfortably, so of course I laid it on thick while describing the products. :D

[Inchworm]

26. Some of my first "relationship memories"

were gettin pics sent from one of these shindigs.

Woot!

:woohoo:
