When I first started to delve into the realm of sex parties for the first time, I encountered challenges in discovering events that resonated with my specific sexual preferences and curiosities. I wanted an intimate and calming atmosphere, and I also wanted a party that prioritised sensuality over high-energy party vibes. Recently, I attended an event by Pleasure Island Parties, and here's what I thought!

I am not one for loud music, sticky floors, the smell of vodka, or anything that feels performative. I was looking for something that would allow me to connect with a small group of people who genuinely cared about each other's space, creating meaningful touch and shared interests in sensual touch and massage as a form of intimacy and pleasure.
If this sounds like the kind of sex party you are thirsty to explore, then I highly recommend Pleasure Island Parties. I was first introduced to Jessica, the founder of Pleasure Island Parties, during an interview with JOYclub, and I instantly fell in love with her work and what the parties would facilitate for the attendees. She spoke of oils, massages, embodied sensations, guided touch, and so much more, which got my imagination wondering and my body tingling with goosebumps. Had I finally found what I was looking for? I had to go and try it out for myself.
Now, what happens in Pleasure Island Parties stays in Pleasure Island Parties. So, unfortunately, I won't be sharing any of the juicy interactions that took place. However, I will share my thoughts on the party and why you'll love it too.
Aside from the night itself, one aspect I truly appreciated about the party was the rule prohibiting arrival while intoxicated. This significant rule provides a comforting atmosphere in such a small, intimate space. It fosters genuine conversations rather than encounters with an inebriated version of someone. Moreover, it's crucial for the sensual aspect of the party. To truly attune to one's bodily sensations and engage with a partner, being present in both mind and body is essential. While you are welcome to BYOB and have alcohol, being completely drunk is not welcome. I LOVE THAT!
Once everyone got to know each other and settled into the space in their favourite attire (sensual clothing welcome), we gathered as a group for the bonding part of the party and some fundamental house rules. The bonding exercises had to be my favourite part of the evening and truly made it a night to remember. These exercises included touch from other people outside of your chosen partner or guest that you brought along to join you. So be prepared to get close and
personal with strangers (this is 100% optional, FYI). It involved shared touch, massage, oils, and different forms of sensation on the body. As a group, it allowed us to connect with our bodies, relax the nervous system, let go of any worries from the outside world and feel comfortable being close and sensual, not sexual, with one another. It was a great start to the evening, and I was ready to explore into the night without hesitation or worry.
After the bonding exercises, we were then left to free flow into the room with our sexual energies, intimate curiosities and, well, much more. But you'll have to attend yourself to know how the story ends.

Who are Pleasure Island Parties perfect for?
Anyone looking to explore in a sensual, calm and soft environment. If you don't like loud music, crowds, alcohol & drugs, then this is the party for you. The music is smooth and sensual, and the lighting and soft furnishings match the same vibe.
Can you explore with your partner and no one else?
Absolutely! There was never any pressure to play with other people, and there were some vital house rules about exploring or navigating playing with others. You are welcome to explore just as a couple and only engage with others when invited. If you ever had any concerns or questions then Jessica and her team were always in the room for support and guidance. This included exploring the tools provided (I discovered I love being touched with a vampire glove!) or asking questions about sensual touch and exploration. Jessica has years and years of experience in this field of work and welcomed any and all questions!
What should I wear and take with me?
Whatever you feel comfortable wearing, lingerie, kimonos, boxers- sensual clothes. Most people brought a robe or kimono. I also recommend taking your own towel and comfy clothes to travel home in home.
Bottom line
In conclusion, if you're seeking a departure from the typical high-energy, crowded sex party scene and instead looking for a tranquil, intimate environment where sensuality and genuine connection take precedence, then Pleasure Island Parties is your oasis. These gatherings prioritise meaningful touch, shared interests in sensual exploration, and a soothing atmosphere over the typical party antics. Attendees can expect a space where comfort and exploration are encouraged
but never pressured, and questions are always welcome. If you're ready to delve into an evening of sensual exploration and meaningful connection, Pleasure Island Parties awaits, offering an escape from the ordinary and an entry into a realm of intimate discovery.
