Hello lovelies,

Priiiiiide!!! Always such an electric buzz in the air when we hit June. We've got our usual roster of events PLUS a launch of our new kink munch and skillshare (itself heralding a return of Bedroom Badass next month) PLUS a wild guest event by our doorman Frank. Now is the time to sign up for membership! As always, it's instant and starts at just $5, with discounts and guest tickets kicking in at at $15 level.

>>  Pride month with HoS:  <<

- Fri 6.5 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to all) - Want to bask in the glow of community all Pride long? Jump into our intersectional clubhouse and meet all the folks who might just be exactly like you in unexpected ways -- and even if not, are friendly and supportive of all the things you are. Everyone is welcome, and no membership is required (but the event is FREE even for $5 Buddy members).

- Fri 6.12 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - what better way to celebrate Pride than by kissing people of all genders? Express yourself in whatever makes you feel sexiest, and come play. No approval required, just a fun outfit, a PAL, a membership...and of course good behavior.

- Sat 6.13 - Guest event: Vault Forever! Surface Never! ($0-25, open to all) - our dear doorman Frank is hosting his second-ever big party, and if you witnessed the madness of his Hitchhiker's bash last year, you KNOW you need to be there. We're going all out with a Fallout theme, and it'll be properly ridiculous. We've taken a step back from these kinds of events, but still love them and are excited to support. And it's for Frank!

- Sun 6.14 - Sinema Club: exploring gender & sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - It's rare to see sexuality-oriented cinema be treated seriously, and we are here to change that. Our Pride month pick is one we've been dyyyying to screen since it came out: Pillion (2025). A gay D/s romance with Alexander Skarsgård as a leather-clad biker dom? We might just faint with thirst!

- Fri 6.26 - Dark DecaDance goth dance party ($0-20, open to all) - queer meets kink meets goth. Light play welcome, but mostly it's a social and dance party. Special guest DJ in from CA! Earlybird $10 tix are avail till next Fri 6.12 for members & non-members!

- Sat 6.27 - New party launch! Kurious: kink munch and skillshare ($0-10, open to all) - We're bringing back our kinky social, where you can chill with your fellow kinksters, practice your Bedroom Badass skills and meet our brand new teacher! Pro domme Viktoria Sway is joining HoS in July to lead a variety of classes, but first -- let's get to know each other and have a little playful Pride pre-party before we go into Countdown full play mode.

- This Sat 6.27 - Countdown pansexual play party ($0-50, approved members only) - Once you've warmed up at Kurious (included with your Countdown ticket!), go all the way at our Pride play party. Earlybird $35 tix for Friend+ levels are now live until Sat 6.13.

- Sun 6.28 - Need your input! We can't do our usual Brooklyn Pride hang bc we're booked for a Fusion Dance Fest the weekend prior (yes, open to the public, so you can come!). But is it worth doing a post-big-parade party? We know the day is both glorious and exhausting, so would it be wise or stupid to open up our clubhouse as a place to escape to with your fellow queers, the way we do after BK Pride? It's an easy subway hop on the 1/2/3 from the parade route. Vote yay or nay here: https://form.typeform.com/to/t9IJGW4b

People always ask if can join HoS if they are shy, don't have like-minded friends, lack PALs for play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don't feel like jumping into sexy activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc etc. This party is the answer!

Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, ENM and other "alternative" dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We're creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the place to start if you've never been -- and the party is always FREE if you're already a member.

For those of you new to it all: a place to be comfortable in your gender, orientation or relationship identity, direct introductions to HoS members new and old; open discussions on varied lifestyles; icebreaker games to welcome you to our club.

For our regulars: a way to ease new friends into our scene; a chance to meet all the new faces you may want to kiss later; a visit with the community even if your PAL is not around.

For everyone: PG-13 tabletop and social games, a charming host to make the introductions and explain all things HoS and sex-positive, and a cozy setting for conversations and future kisses. Be on time! Our icebreaker game, HoS Guest Bingo, runs from 7:30pm until we have a winner: get to know everyone in the room, and win a drink if you're the first to complete your bingo card.

Current host: Miss Scorpio is back hosting the mixer. Come ask her directly anything you want to know about HoS. We've been building this community for you for 10+ years, and hope to be here for 10+ more.

HoS rules: HoS membership, PAL and dress code not required; no prior approval required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

Respiratory safety: masks welcome; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.

*Taste The Rainbow happens every first Friday of the month if our Loft is available; otherwise it moves to first Thursdays.

Bring your luscious lips (yours and your PAL's), and join us for lubricating libations and naughty games with sexy friends and intriguing strangers. Bring toys & games to share (blindfolds? rope? sexy dice?).

Feeling shy or wanting to meet new folks? Come early! Meet our founder, Miss Scorpio. Between 9-10:30pm, Miss S is there to introduce new members to old timers, explain how the whole HoS thing works, and generally make a delightful fuss over your presence.

Think of our makeout parties as R-rated community mixers -- a place to get to know your fellow kinksters, introduce a partner to a more playful lifestyle, test out the sparks you may have had with someone at Taste The Rainbow -- before attending the more naughty play parties. It's also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.

Dress to be kissed: sexy and fun. Fetish attire, formalwear, lingerie, corsets, tutus and costumes always welcome...and we consider those unisex options (the more colorful and outrageous, the better). No casual or business; door person WILL turn you away -- see Code of Conduct page on our site for more details on the dress code.

*Lip Service happens on the second Friday of every month

**HoS rules: HoS membership, PAL & Dress Code required; no prior approval required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

House of Scorpio
presents

Sinema Club: Pillion (2025)

Fri June 5, 7pm-12am, 21+ (25+ suggested); open to all
Members: $0-10 / non-members: $10 + $2 fee (membership starts at $5)
Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible)

Official info & house rules: http://www.houseofscorpio.com/events.html

The body's largest sex organ is the brain. Sinema Club stimulates yours with films that are explicitly erotic, homo-romantic, or gender-exploring -- and always thought-provoking. A rousing discussion follows; drinking is encouraged throughout, and mingling happens before, in breaks and after. Plus: free popcorn from our vintage cart. You can also order in from the many restaurants around, and make it dinner and a movie.

This month's feature: Pillion (2025)

A directionless man (Harry Melling) is swept off his feet when an enigmatic, impossibly handsome biker (Alexander Skarsgård) takes him on as his submissive. The film was unusual not just in its empathic & non-judgmental insider look at gay BDSM / leather culture, but in becoming an explosive mainstream success while dealing frankly with marginalized sexuality and romance: it received 34 prestigious award nominations (including BAFTA Outstanding British Film of the Year, Outstanding Debut, Best Screenplay; Cannes Un Certain Regard, Golden Camera, Queer Palm) and 17 wins (including British Independent Film Award Film of the year)

Sinema Club is curated and hosted by Phil Guie-Ng (@thatphilguymovies): an inquisitive, ardent longtime film critic who is dying to tell you about movies you haven't heard of yet. As a reviewer at the website Film-Forward, his self-appointed mission was covering documentaries and features about subjects who challenged conventional attitudes about gender, masculinity, and more. When Phil isn't writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.

*HoS rules: HoS membership, dress code, PAL, prior approval not required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

Respiratory safety: HoS requires proof of COVID vaccination on file; masks encouraged; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.

A brand new open-to-all social for both the kinky-curious and those deep in the lifestyle, led by HoS’ new Bedroom Badass class teacher Goddess Viktoria Sway. Kurious is here to share new ideas and approaches, let you ask the questions you’re not sure whom and how to ask, and connect you with people who get it, so you can build the kinky life you want. You’re welcome to bring toys to practice and explore in a low-pressure, friendly (and fully dressed) environment.

Each event includes open social time, a brief "knowledge teaser" demo or sneak peek of HoS classes to come, and a chance to practice skills from past classes under the teacher's supervision and feedback. It's also your opportunity to ask questions or request specific topics for future classes.

This month's Pride-themed knowledge teaser: creating chemistry regardless of gender. Masculine and feminine energy exist in all of us, and when you learn to play with and within the full range of the spectrum, you find the true spark of connection. Come find out how to use it.

The social is followed by HoS' pansexual play party Countdown. To attend Countdown, please see site for rules and instructions (access to Kurious is included with Countdown).

Goddess Viktoria Sway is a NYC Dominatrix and kink educator with 15 years in the community and 10 years of professional practice and direct instruction. An expert in the psychology of kink, she teaches the mechanics of erotic D/s dynamics.

House of Scorpio is a femme- and queer-forward, poly- & kink-friendly, sex-positive membership-based community creating safe space for people of all genders and sexual orientations.

*HoS rules: HoS membership, dress code, PAL, prior approval not required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

For those of you staying to play at Countdown, feel free to dress casual for the mixer and change by 10:30pm, as per Countdown rules -- or be your full cute self the whole time. All non-playing guests must exit by 10:30pm.
