&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Hello lovelies,&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Are you ready for the most fun month of the year? See below for *eight* events we have coming your way this October, starting with this Friday&#38;#39;s intro mixer. Not a member yet? Just $5 gets you access to all October tickets and FREE access to this Friday&#38;#39;s mixer -- it&#38;#39;s a great place to start to meet the HoS community.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Meanwhile, our Discord is just 30 members shy of 500, and when we hit that number, we&#38;#39;ll open up a dating/cruising option for our past and current approved members. If you want to join the fun: https://discord.gg/ehGd4nckbp (approval info on HoS site).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#38;gt;&#38;gt;&#38;nbsp; October with HoS (full invites below; tix in membership system):&#38;nbsp; &#38;lt;&#38;lt;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- This Fri 10.2 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - Always the best place to start, if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and a great way to catch up with the community and be the first to meet the new folks if you&#38;#39;re a regular. No membership, PALs, approval or even dress code required...just come hang with your fellow sx-pos humans.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Next Wed 10.7 - Bedroom Badass ($TBA, open to non-members) - We&#38;#39;ve spent a long time searching and finally found an incredible teacher who aligns with HoS on approach and values. Pro domme Goddess Viktoria Sway is stepping in to lead and teach our Bedroom Badass educational program, and this inaugural class is the rare opportunity to start at ground level with her psychological approach. Yes, you can learn to swing a whip anywhere...but WHY are you doing these things? What do you hope to feel, reach, achieve when you engage with these practices? This foundational workshop will help you answer those questions for yourself, and put your kink exploration on an entirely different, holistic footing. We would make this one required if we could!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Next Fri 10.9 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - It&#38;#39;s one of those IYKYK things...come see just how steamy things can get while still being decidedly barely-R rated. Get yourself acquainted with the community via the mixer &#38;amp; workshop earlier in the month, then come play with your new friends (or just your PAL) at this signature HoS event. (Heads up: sensory and similar sensuous kink play welcome, but please save impact and more for Kurious &#38;amp; Persephone!)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Next Sun 10.11 - Sinema Club: exploring gender &#38;amp; sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - It&#38;#39;s rare to see sexuality-oriented cinema be treated seriously, and we are here to change that. This month&#38;#39;s feature is James Avalon&#38;#39;s pr0n &#38;quot;Les Vampyres&#38;quot; (2000) -- and the man himself will be calling in after the movie! Huge deal, omg.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Fri 10.16 - FemFlirt + MeetMarket ($0-10, open to all) - Have you noticed how much all dating apps have started sucking? It&#38;#39;s time to bring back IRL meetups for humans of all genders and orientations to find new play or dating partners. Calling all singles and dating non-singles for a flirting party two-fer: FemFlirt for femme &#38;amp; non-binary folks on one side of the room; MeetMarket for everyone else on the other. The bar is a neutral no-flirting zone. Tabletop and social games ease the process (come early).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Fri 10.23 early - Kurious: kink munch and skillshare ($0-10, open to all) - A social where you can chill with your fellow kinksters, practice your Bedroom Badass skills and ask our teacher pro domme Viktoria Sway all you ever wanted to know about anything kinky -- or just a little form correction on your tool use.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Fri 10.23 late - HoS Halloween - Persephone ($0-50, members only) - Kinky cabaret meets dungeon play party, against our Dark Decadance goth dance backdrop. Dark music, dark vibes, kinky playtime. See and experience things you can&#38;#39;t anywhere else. BYO toys and playmates, or tip our demigod dommes to show you the way. Approval NOT required for ticket purchase, and you only need PALs (or dommes) in play areas, though you do need to be a member. For best guest experience, we&#38;#39;re limiting sales...you will have plenty of room to watch, dance and explore. Earlybird $35 tickets are now available for Friend level members and higher, until Fri Oct 9.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Sat 10.24 - Countdown pansexual play party ($0-50, approved members only) - the one HoS party where you can go all the way with your partner(s) or our beautiful community members. As safe of a play space as only HoS can do: we&#38;#39;re known as the most wholesome play party in NYC for a reason. Earlybird $35 tickets are now available for Friend level members and higher, until Sat Oct 10.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;***&#60;br /&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;People always ask if can join HoS if they are shy, don&#38;#39;t have like-minded friends, lack PALs for play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don&#38;#39;t feel like jumping into sexy activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc etc. This party is the answer!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, ENM and other &#38;quot;alternative&#38;quot; dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We&#38;#39;re creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the place to start if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and the party is always FREE if you&#38;#39;re already a member.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;re the first to complete your bingo card.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Current host: Miss Scorpio is back hosting the mixer.

We&#38;#39;ve been building this community for you for 10+ years, and hope to be here for 10+ more.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Pro domme Goddess Viktoria Sway is stepping in to lead and teach our Bedroom Badass educational program, and this inaugural class is the rare opportunity to start at ground level with her psychological approach. Yes, you can learn to swing a whip anywhere...but WHY are you doing these things? What do you hope to feel, reach, achieve when you engage with these practices? This foundational workshop will help you answer those questions for yourself, and put your kink exploration on an entirely different, holistic footing. Learn to identify the tensions, tones, and zing that shape how a scene builds and hits, then turn those patterns into language for asking for what you want and tools for hotter scene-building.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Topics covered:&#60;br /&#62;
- BDSM Blueprint Quiz: identifying your core desires&#60;br /&#62;
- Communicating your desires&#60;br /&#62;
- Using your Blueprint to build better scenes&#60;br /&#62;
- Moving power within a scene&#60;br /&#62;
- Translating fantasy into scene design&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;All BB classes are a mixture of lecture, hands-on experience, and dedicated Q&#38;amp;A time. After class, stay for dedicated practice &#38;amp; play time to help you solidify your skills, while our teacher remains available for guidance. Class and practice are in the main space, while the bar area is open throughout for breaks and socializing. Always BYO practice items, where relevant, though we will always have a selection on hand.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Our teacher: Goddess Viktoria Sway is a professional Dominatrix, BDSM educator, and coach with 15 years in the community and 10 years of professional practice and direct instruction.

It&#38;#39;s also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;This month&#38;#39;s feature: James Avalon&#38;#39;s &#38;quot;Les Vampyres&#38;quot; (2000)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;When darkness falls, the mysterious Veronika comes out to play...and prey, in this porn riff on one of the seminal LGBTQ vampire movies, Harry Kumel&#38;#39;s &#38;quot;Daughter of Darkness&#38;quot; (1971). Portrayed by adult star Syren, the insatiable Veronika sets her sights on a young couple (Ava Vincent and Joel Lawrence) who visit the same hotel she&#38;#39;s staying in. The film is unusually lush and stylish by porn standards...but that will come as no surprise to Sinema Club regulars who have experienced writer &#38;amp; director James Avalon&#38;#39;s &#38;quot;Zazel&#38;quot; with us before. The film won many AVN and other adult awards (including Best Film, Director &#38;amp; Actress) and remains among the creator&#38;#39;s favorites among his 350+ directorial credits.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Mr Avalon himself will actually join our post-film discussion via Zoom!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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&#38;#39;t writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

In the lounge - MeetMarket: pansexual flirting party. In the bar - a neutral zone for everyone to take a break from flirting. Our community leans queer, pan and poly/ENM, but we welcome everyone into our sx-pos consent-forward dating pool.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;A brand new open-to-all social, skillshare + practice munch for the kinky-curious and those who know for sure, led by HoS&#38;rsquo; new Bedroom Badass class teacher Goddess Viktoria Sway. Kurious is here to lead you to new ideas and approaches, let you ask the questions you&#38;rsquo;re not sure whom and how to ask, and connect you with people who get it, so you can start building the kinky life you want to explore. You&#38;rsquo;re welcome to bring toys to practice in a low-pressure, cozy (and fully dressed) space.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Each event includes open social time, a brief &#38;quot;knowledge teaser&#38;quot; demo or sneak peek of HoS classes to come, and a chance to practice your own or past class skills with a pro&#38;#39;s supervision and feedback. It&#38;#39;s also your opportunity to request specific topics for future classes.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Kurious is followed by members-only Persephone dark dance + dungeon Halloween (combo tickets are available). For those of you staying to play &#38;amp; dance, feel free to dress casual for the mixer and change by 10pm, as per Persephone rules -- or be your full costumed self the whole time. All non-Persephone guests must leave by 10pm.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;About our teacher: 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. Her focus: the practical skills of D/s and how to actually use them in your scenes, from how you communicate and negotiate to how you build and hold dynamic in the moment.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

The countdown begins when doors open at 10pm: it&#38;#39;s a mix-and-mingle social party for the first hour. At 11, all regular makeout party rules apply: all the clothes stay on, and all playtime is PG13-rated. But at 12am, the door is locked, and the party can take its natural course.

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Our Discord is just 50 members shy of 500, and when we hit that number, we&#38;#39;ll open up a dating/cruising option for our past and current approved members. If you want to join the fun: https://discord.gg/h9c8yAFKB (member approval info on HoS site).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

Kurious: kink munch and skillshare ($0-10, open to all) - A 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 to lead a variety of classes, but first -- let&#38;#39;s get to know each other and have a little playful pre-party practice before we go into DDD kink play mode. Her first class with us (Wed Oct 7) is the foundational BDSM Blueprint, and she&#38;#39;ll give you a little taste of it at Kurious.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

Kink play welcome against our backdrop of a social and dance party, but all bottoms must stay on. Yes, the cross and the toys will be out, and yes, you should bring playmates and toys. Earlybird $10 tix now up until Fri Sep 11, and combo tix with Kurious are on that event. Practice, then play!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- This Sat 9.26 - Countdown pansexual play party ($0-50, approved members only) - the one HoS party where you can go all the way with your partner(s) or our beautiful community members. As safe of a play space as only HoS can do: we&#38;#39;re known as the most wholesome play party in NYC for a reason. Earlybird $35 tickets are now available for Friend level members and higher, until Sat Sep 12.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 10.2 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - Always the best place to start, if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and a great way to catch up with the community and be the first to meet the new folks if you&#38;#39;re a regular. No requirements, no drama, no membership required.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Wed 10.7 - Bedroom Badass ($TBA, open to non-members) - We&#38;#39;ve spent a long time searching and finally found an incredible teacher who aligns with HoS on approach and values. Pro domme Goddess Viktoria Sway is stepping in to lead and teach our Bedroom Badass educational program, and this inaugural class is the rare opportunity to start at ground level with her psychological approach. Yes, you can learn to swing a whip anywhere...but WHY are you doing these things? What do you hope to feel, reach, achieve when you engage with these practices? This foundational workshop will help you answer those questions for yourself, and put your kink exploration on an entirely different, holistic footing. We would make this one required if we could! Please save the date and reserve our tickets.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 10.9 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - if you were here for September LS, you know how steamy things can get while still being decidedly barely-R rated. Get yourself acquainted with the community via the mixer &#38;amp; workshop earlier in the month, then come play with your new friends (or just your PAL) at this signature HoS event.&#38;nbsp; (Heads up: sensory and similar sensuous kink play welcome, but please save impact and more for Kurious &#38;amp; DDD!)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Sun 10.11 - Sinema Club: exploring gender &#38;amp; sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - It&#38;#39;s rare to see sexuality-oriented cinema be treated seriously, and we are here to change that. This month&#38;#39;s feature is James Avalon&#38;#39;s pr0n &#38;quot;Les Vampyres&#38;quot; (2000) -- and the man himself will be calling in after the movie! Huge deal, omg.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;A brand new open-to-all social, skillshare + practice munch for the kinky-curious and those who know for sure, led by HoS&#38;rsquo; new Bedroom Badass class teacher Goddess Viktoria Sway. Kurious is here to lead you to new ideas and approaches, let you ask the questions you&#38;rsquo;re not sure whom and how to ask, and connect you with people who get it, so you can start building the kinky life you want to explore. You&#38;rsquo;re welcome to bring toys to practice in a low-pressure, cozy (and fully dressed) space.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Each event includes open social time, a brief &#38;quot;knowledge teaser&#38;quot; demo or sneak peek of HoS classes to come, and a chance to practice your own or past class skills with a pro&#38;#39;s supervision and feedback. It&#38;#39;s also your opportunity to request specific topics for future classes.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;This month&#38;#39;s teaser: Goddess Viktoria&#38;#39;s psychological approach to BDSM fosters a deeper understanding of desires, language, skills and sensations. She will give a brief teaser of her signature workshop, Discover Your BDSM Blueprint, which is kicking off our Bedroom Badass series on Wed Oct 7.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Kurious is followed by our monthly queer-forward kink play &#38;amp; goth dance party Dark DecaDance (combo tickets are available). For those of you staying to play &#38;amp; dance at DDD, feel free to dress casual for the mixer and change by 10:30pm, as per DDD rules -- or be your full kinky gothy self the whole time.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;About our teacher: 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. Her focus: the practical skills of D/s and how to actually use them in your scenes, from how you communicate and negotiate to how you build and hold dynamic in the moment.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

The countdown begins when doors open at 10pm: it&#38;#39;s a mix-and-mingle social party for the first hour. At 11, all regular makeout party rules apply: all the clothes stay on, and all playtime is PG13-rated. But at 12am, the door is locked, and the party can take its natural course. Please arrive by 11:45pm, though you can leave anytime.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;People always ask if can join HoS if they are shy, don&#38;#39;t have like-minded friends, lack PALs for play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don&#38;#39;t feel like jumping into sexy activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc etc. This party is the answer!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, ENM and other &#38;quot;alternative&#38;quot; dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We&#38;#39;re creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the place to start if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and the party is always FREE if you&#38;#39;re already a member.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;re the first to complete your bingo card.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Pro domme Goddess Viktoria Sway is stepping in to lead and teach our Bedroom Badass educational program, and this inaugural class is the rare opportunity to start at ground level with her psychological approach. Yes, you can learn to swing a whip anywhere...but WHY are you doing these things? What do you hope to feel, reach, achieve when you engage with these practices? This foundational workshop will help you answer those questions for yourself, and put your kink exploration on an entirely different, holistic footing. Learn to identify the tensions, tones, and zing that shape how a scene builds and hits, then turn those patterns into language for asking for what you want and tools for hotter scene-building.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Topics covered:&#60;br /&#62;
- BDSM Blueprint Quiz: identifying your core desires&#60;br /&#62;
- Communicating your desires&#60;br /&#62;
- Using your Blueprint to build better scenes&#60;br /&#62;
- Moving power within a scene&#60;br /&#62;
- Translating fantasy into scene design&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;All BB classes are a mixture of lecture, hands-on experience, and dedicated Q&#38;amp;A time. After class, stay for dedicated practice &#38;amp; play time to help you solidify your skills, while our teacher remains available for guidance. Class and practice are in the main space, while the bar area is open throughout for breaks and socializing. Always BYO practice items, where relevant, though we will always have a selection on hand.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Our teacher: Goddess Viktoria Sway is a professional Dominatrix, BDSM educator, and coach with 15 years in the community and 10 years of professional practice and direct instruction. She holds a second bachelor&#38;rsquo;s degree in Psychology and teaches from both formal study and lived practice. Her work focuses on power, desire, erotic patterning, and the psychology of BDSM.

It&#38;#39;s also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

Portrayed by adult star Syren, the insatiable Veronika sets her sights on a young couple (Ava Vincent and Joel Lawrence) who visit the same hotel she&#38;#39;s staying in. The film is unusually lush and stylish by porn standards...but that will come as no surprise to Sinema Club regulars who have experienced writer &#38;amp; director James Avalon&#38;#39;s &#38;quot;Zazel&#38;quot; with us before. The film won many AVN and other adult awards (including Best Film, Director &#38;amp; Actress) and remains among the creator&#38;#39;s favorites among his 350+ directorial credits.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Mr Avalon himself will actually join our post-film discussion via Zoom!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;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&#38;#39;t writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;*Sinema Club happens on every second Sunday of the month&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Hello lovelies,&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#38;gt;&#38;gt;&#38;nbsp; September with HoS (scroll down for full invites &#38;amp; rules):&#38;nbsp; &#38;lt;&#38;lt;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- This Fri 9.18 - Saints &#38;amp; Sinners: pop-up strip club ($0-25 GA / $0-45 VIP, members only) - You know it; you love it; there&#38;#39;s nothing else like it. Don&#38;#39;t know? You should know. And no, we can&#38;#39;t tell you more. And lol if you know, you know why we can&#38;#39;t tell ;P&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- This Sun 9.20 - Guest event: The Garden of Earthly Delights ($28-65, open to all) - two back-to-back sensuous burlesque shows presented in the round, plus art, experiences and vendors. We&#38;#39;ve worked with this production crew before, and they&#38;#39;re a great for the HoS community. They&#38;#39;ve even extended a courtesy GA discount to HoS members at your usual levels.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Next Fri 9.25 - It&#38;#39;s on, in a new monthly spot! Kurious: kink munch and skillshare ($0-10, open to all) - A 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 to lead a variety of classes, but first -- let&#38;#39;s get to know each other and have a little playful pre-party practice before we go into DDD kink play mode. Her first class with us (Wed Oct 7) is the foundational BDSM Blueprint, and she&#38;#39;ll give you a little taste of it at Kurious.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Next Fri 9.25 - Dark DecaDance goth dance + kink play party ($0-20, open to all) - queer meets kink meets goth. Kink play welcome against our backdrop of a social and dance party, but all bottoms must stay on. Yes, the cross and the toys will be out, and yes, you should bring playmates and toys. Earlybird $10 tix now up until Fri Sep 11, and combo tix with Kurious are on that event. Practice, then play!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Sat 9.26 - Countdown pansexual play party ($0-50, approved members only) - the one HoS party where you can go all the way with your partner(s) or our beautiful community members. As safe of a play space as only HoS can do: we&#38;#39;re known as the most wholesome play party in NYC for a reason. Earlybird $35 tickets are now available for Friend level members and higher, until Sat Sep 12.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#38;gt;&#38;gt;&#38;nbsp; October with HoS (more info TK):&#38;nbsp; &#38;lt;&#38;lt;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 10.2 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - Always the best place to start, if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and a great way to catch up with the community and be the first to meet the new folks if you&#38;#39;re a regular. No requirements, no drama, no membership required. Tix now up!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Save the date! Wed 10.7 - Bedroom Badass ($TBA, open to non-members) - We&#38;#39;ve spent a long time searching and finally found an incredible teacher who aligns with HoS on approach and values. Pro domme Goddess Viktoria Sway is stepping in to lead and teach our eduction program, and this class is the rare opportunity to start at ground level with her deeply psychological approach. Yes, you can learn to swing a whip anywhere...but WHY are you doing these things? What do you hope to feel, reach, achieve when you engage with these practices? Viktoria&#38;#39;s foundational &#38;quot;Find Your BDSM Blueprint&#38;quot; workshop will help you answer those questions for yourself, and put your kink exploration on an entirely different, wholistic footing. We would make this one required if we could! We&#38;#39;re working on details and tickets, but please save the date.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 10.9 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - if you were here for September LS, you know how steamy things can get while still being decidedly barely-R rated. Get yourself acquainted with the community via the mixer &#38;amp; workshop earlier in the month, then come play with your new friends (or just your PAL) at this signature HoS event. Tix now up! (Heads up: sensory and similar sensuous kink play welcome, but please save impact and more for Kurious &#38;amp; DDD!)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;br /&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;For one night only, our sexy clubhouse becomes a full-on strip club, with a double-pole stage, an array of lap dance-ready seating, and our very own Champagne Room. A hand-picked lineup of rainbow-gendered burlesque, pole or circus stars awaits, each stepping outside the boundaries of their genre to spend the whole night dancing for you on stage and in your lap.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Don&#38;#39;t be late: entertainment starts at 9:30pm. Once the dancers are done at 1am, the stage is yours to shake your booty on. Live out your strip fantasies as our DJ provides the beats into the night.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Featuring:&#60;br /&#62;
- Lydia Vengeance, the manic pixie nightmare witch&#60;br /&#62;
- Vonka, the BaVonkaDonk&#60;br /&#62;
- Laura Desiree, the sky-high sinner &#38;amp; former Naked News host&#60;br /&#62;
- Nina Lavoix, the grande dame of derriere&#60;br /&#62;
- Esm&#38;eacute;, French charm with a New York attitude&#60;br /&#62;
- Butchie Gamble, the sinful embodiment of sensual sass&#60;br /&#62;
- Hosted by queerlesque clown Daddo Ho - the daddy who actually loves you!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Rules of the club: Bring cash to tip dancers &#38;amp; bar staff generously (we can exchange your larger bills but there&#38;#39;s no ATM). You&#38;#39;re welcome to sit stage-side when tipping, but please rotate out when your wallet needs a break. Get lap dances: they&#38;#39;re the best part...then try the champagne room, because that&#38;#39;s the only way it can get better. Respect the dancers. Keep your hands to yourself (or your partner). Please treat our pole gently; no wild swinging.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;*HoS rules: HoS membership &#38;amp; Dress Code required; PAL &#38;amp; prior approval not required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;**Reserved seats include: admission + seat at either a couch or a 4-person table with prime stage view, one row behind the rail (ie the seats are yours all night, and you can rotate in/out of the rail in front if desired). Seat choice is first-come, first-served.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;A brand new open-to-all social, skillshare + practice munch for the kinky-curious and those who know for sure, led by HoS&#38;rsquo; new Bedroom Badass class teacher Goddess Viktoria Sway. Kurious is here to lead you to new ideas and approaches, let you ask the questions you&#38;rsquo;re not sure whom and how to ask, and connect you with people who get it, so you can start building the kinky life you want to explore. You&#38;rsquo;re welcome to bring toys to practice in a low-pressure, cozy (and fully dressed) space.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;September and October are always busy months for us. So many events, and so many new faces! We had 50 guests at the mixer last week...what will Lip Service bring this Friday?&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;See below for both shortlist &#38;amp; full invites, and remember you can still catch early bird discounts for DDD (till this Fri) and Countdown (till this Sat). Grab those tickets now, and save some cash!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Our Discord has officially passed 400 members! Have you joined yet? https://discord.gg/h9c8yAFKB There are secret channels reserved for previous and current members with &#38;quot;approved&#38;quot; play party status -- reply here w your display name after you join if that&#38;#39;s you &#38;amp; you want access! We&#38;#39;re working on setting up sexy connections for HoS folks in those channels, and would love more of you to join. Not approved yet? It&#38;#39;s super easy: http://houseofscorpio.com/attend.html&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 9.11 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - the hotAF party that started it all! If you want to experience the heart of HoS, this is the one. Cute, wholesome, pan, sexy, safe. This is also *the only* event where you can get approved in person for play events and our Discord! Chat to Miss S at the end of the event to make that happen.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Sun 9.13 - Sinema Club: exploring gender &#38;amp; sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - It&#38;#39;s rare to see sexuality-oriented cinema be treated seriously, and we are here to change that. This month&#38;#39;s feature is Peter Greenaway&#38;#39;s luscious arthouse erotic drama The Pillow Book (1996).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 9.18 - Saints &#38;amp; Sinners: pop-up strip club ($0-25 GA / $0-45 VIP, members only) - You know it; you love it; there&#38;#39;s nothing else like it. Don&#38;#39;t know? You should know. And no, we can&#38;#39;t tell you more. And lol if you know, you know why we can&#38;#39;t tell ;P&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 9.25 - It&#38;#39;s on, in a new monthly spot! Kurious: kink munch and skillshare ($0-10, open to all) - A 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 to lead a variety of classes, but first -- let&#38;#39;s get to know each other and have a little playful pre-party practice before we go into DDD kink play mode. Her first class with us (Wed Oct 7) is the foundational BDSM Blueprint, and she&#38;#39;ll give you a little taste of it at Kurious.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 9.25 - Dark DecaDance goth dance + kink play party ($0-20, open to all) - queer meets kink meets goth. Kink play welcome against our backdrop of a social and dance party, but all bottoms must stay on. Yes, the cross and the toys will be out, and yes, you should bring playmates and toys. Earlybird $10 tix now up until Fri Sep 11, and combo tix with Kurious are on that event. Practice, then play!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Sat 9.26 - Countdown pansexual play party ($0-50, approved members only) - the one HoS party where you can go all the way with your partner(s) or our beautiful community members. As safe of a play space as only HoS can do: we&#38;#39;re known as the most wholesome play party in NYC for a reason. Earlybird $35 tickets are now available for Friend level members and higher, until Sat Sep 12.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 10.2 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - Always the best place to start, if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and a great way to catch up with the community and be the first to meet the new folks if you&#38;#39;re a regular. No requirements, no drama, no membership required. Tix now up!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Save the date! Wed 10.7 - Bedroom Badass ($TBA, open to non-members) - We&#38;#39;ve spent a long time searching and finally found an incredible teacher who aligns with HoS on approach and values. Pro domme Goddess Viktoria Sway is stepping in to lead and teach our eduction program, and this class is the rare opportunity to start at ground level with her deeply psychological approach. Yes, you can learn to swing a whip anywhere...but WHY are you doing these things? What do you hope to feel, reach, achieve when you engage with these practices? Viktoria&#38;#39;s foundational &#38;quot;Find Your BDSM Blueprint&#38;quot; workshop will help you answer those questions for yourself, and put your kink exploration on an entirely different, wholistic footing. We would make this one required if we could! We&#38;#39;re working on details and tickets, but please save the date.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

Bring toys &#38;amp; games to share (blindfolds? rope? sexy dice?).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;s also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;This month&#38;#39;s feature: Peter Greenaway&#38;#39;s &#38;quot;The Pillow Book&#38;quot; (1996)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;One of the most beautiful movies about a fetish ever made, THE PILLOW BOOK (1996) centers on the act of painting calligraphy across the human body. It&#38;rsquo;s the obsession of main character Nagiko (Vivian Wu), who offers herself as a canvas to various artists and lovers, culminating in her meeting Jerome (Ewan McGregor), who proves her match in many ways. Director Peter Greenaway clothes the many gorgeous nude bodies in layers of gorgeous cinematography, evoking high praise for the visuals from the critics at the time. &#38;quot;Dense, gorgeous and inexorable&#38;quot; - Boston Globe; &#38;quot;richly sensual stylistic exercise filled with audaciously beautiful imagery, captivating symmetries and brilliantly facile tricks&#38;quot; - The New York Times.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Bonus! &#38;quot;The Pillow Book&#38;quot; marked one of McGregor&#38;rsquo;s earliest full nude screen appearances -- but wouldn&#38;rsquo;t be his last. To honor his dedication, we&#38;rsquo;ll play a game of trivia before the screening: we&#38;#39;ll show clips of his most...memorable moments, and you guess which films they are from. Full bragging rights (and a drink!) go to whoever guesses the most correctly!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;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&#38;#39;t writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

A hand-picked lineup of rainbow-gendered burlesque, pole or circus stars awaits, each stepping outside the boundaries of their genre to spend the whole night dancing for you on stage and in your lap.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Don&#38;#39;t be late: entertainment starts at 9:30pm.

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Featuring:&#60;br /&#62;

You&#38;#39;re welcome to sit stage-side when tipping, but please rotate out when your wallet needs a break. Get lap dances: they&#38;#39;re the best part...then try the champagne room, because that&#38;#39;s the only way it can get better. Respect the dancers. Keep your hands to yourself (or your partner). Please treat our pole gently; no wild swinging.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;A brand new open-to-all social, skillshare + practice munch for the kinky-curious and those who know for sure, led by HoS&#38;rsquo; new Bedroom Badass class teacher Goddess Viktoria Sway. Kurious is here to lead you to new ideas and approaches, let you ask the questions you&#38;rsquo;re not sure whom and how to ask, and connect you with people who get it, so you can start building the kinky life you want to explore. You&#38;rsquo;re welcome to bring toys to practice in a low-pressure, cozy (and fully dressed) space.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Each event includes open social time, a brief &#38;quot;knowledge teaser&#38;quot; demo or sneak peek of HoS classes to come, and a chance to practice your own or past class skills with a pro&#38;#39;s supervision and feedback.

The countdown begins when doors open at 10pm: it&#38;#39;s a mix-and-mingle social party for the first hour. At 11, all regular makeout party rules apply: all the clothes stay on, and all playtime is PG13-rated. But at 12am, the door is locked, and the party can take its natural course.

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, ENM and other &#38;quot;alternative&#38;quot; dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We&#38;#39;re creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the place to start if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and the party is always FREE if you&#38;#39;re already a member.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;re the first to complete your bingo card.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Hello lovelies,&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#38;gt;&#38;gt;&#38;nbsp; Misc updates:&#38;nbsp; &#38;lt;&#38;lt;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Due to a last-minute producer cancellation, our Loft is available in the strip club setup (runway, poles, champagne room) for one night only Sat Sep 19, following our Saints &#38;amp; Sinners strip pop-up on Fri Sep 18. If you ever dreamed of your own strip-themed birthday, play or other party, we can give a pretty amazing deal on renting the space on that night. Also great for fashion show, cabaret, any in-the-round stage production. If you haven&#38;#39;t been in person, this is what it looks like when set up: https://youtu.be/zpoUZGNNNy4?si=ZT4SRvpuVIbeRDI1&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Our Discord is at nearly 400 members! Have you joined yet? https://discord.gg/h9c8yAFKB And! If you are a previously approved monthly member (ie you can buy tickets to our play events), you can also get access to extra channels -- including spicy, cruising &#38;amp; PAL plan ones. Info on how to get that extra access is on the Discord, or reply from your member email for a direct link that grants you that access with one click as you join.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Aren&#38;#39;t a HoS member or approved yet? With Saints coming up, now is the perfect time to join...and then you get FREE tix to Friday&#38;#39;s mixer, too. As always, membership is open to all and starts at $5. You can get approved anytime, not just for a specific party. Easiest approval is in person at Lip Service.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- There are earlybird discounts in place for Saints (till this Fri), DDD (till Fri 9.11) and Countdown (till Sat 9.12). Grab those tickets now, and save some cash!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#38;gt;&#38;gt;&#38;nbsp; September with HoS (scroll down for full invites &#38;amp; rules):&#38;nbsp; &#38;lt;&#38;lt;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Next Fri 9.4 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - Always the best place to start, if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and a great way to catch up with the community and be the first to meet the new folks if you&#38;#39;re a regular. No requirements, no drama, no membership required.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 9.11 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - If you&#38;#39;re ready for something a little more physical, this is the party that started it all &#38;amp; remains the group favorite for a reason. Come kiss boys, girls and everyone in between (or just your partner, if you&#38;#39;re so inclined).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Sun 9.13 - Sinema Club: exploring gender &#38;amp; sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - It&#38;#39;s rare to see sexuality-oriented cinema be treated seriously, and we are here to change that. This month&#38;#39;s feature is Peter Greenaway&#38;#39;s luscious arthouse erotic drama The Pillow Book (1996).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 9.18 - Saints &#38;amp; Sinners: pop-up strip club ($0-25 GA / $0-45 VIP, members only) - You know it; you love it; there&#38;#39;s nothing else like it. Don&#38;#39;t know? You should know. And no, we can&#38;#39;t tell you more. Earlybird tix until Fri Sep 4 give $10 off for members *and guests* on both GA and reserved seat admission. Snag them now.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 9.25 - It&#38;#39;s on, in a new monthly spot! Kurious: kink munch and skillshare ($0-10, open to all) - A 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 to lead a variety of classes, but first -- let&#38;#39;s get to know each other and have a little playful pre-party practice before we go into DDD kink play mode. Her first class with us (Wed Oct 7) is the foundational BDSM Blueprint, and she&#38;#39;ll give you a little taste of it at Kurious.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 9.25 - Dark DecaDance goth dance + kink play party ($0-20, open to all) - queer meets kink meets goth. Kink play welcome against our backdrop of a social and dance party, but all bottoms must stay on. Yes, the cross and the toys will be out. Earlybird $10 tix now up until Fri Sep 11.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Sat 9.26 - Countdown pansexual play party ($0-50, approved members only) - the one HoS party where you can go all the way with your partner(s) or our beautiful community members. As safe of a play space as only HoS can do: we&#38;#39;re known as the most wholesome play party in NYC for a reason. Earlybird $35 tickets are now available for Friend level members and higher, until Sat Sep 12.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;br /&#62;

Please reserve tickets in advance! It helps us plan entertainment, staff and supplies. Friend with Benefits level+ members can even retain credit for any unused tickets and roll them over to another event. If you want to upgrade levels: https://bit.ly/4bsZAKQ&#60;br /&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;People always ask if can join HoS if they are shy, don&#38;#39;t have like-minded friends, lack PALs for play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don&#38;#39;t feel like jumping into sexy activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc etc. This party is the answer!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, ENM and other &#38;quot;alternative&#38;quot; dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We&#38;#39;re creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the place to start if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and the party is always FREE if you&#38;#39;re already a member.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;re the first to complete your bingo card.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Current host: Miss Scorpio is back hosting the mixer. Come ask her directly anything you want to know about HoS.

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;s also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;This month&#38;#39;s feature: Peter Greenaway&#38;#39;s &#38;quot;The Pillow Book&#38;quot; (1996)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;One of the most beautiful movies about a fetish ever made, THE PILLOW BOOK (1996) centers on the act of painting calligraphy across the human body. It&#38;rsquo;s the obsession of main character Nagiko (Vivian Wu), who offers herself as a canvas to various artists and lovers, culminating in her meeting Jerome (Ewan McGregor), who proves her match in many ways. Director Peter Greenaway clothes the many gorgeous nude bodies in layers of gorgeous cinematography, evoking high praise for the visuals from the critics at the time. &#38;quot;Dense, gorgeous and inexorable&#38;quot; - Boston Globe; &#38;quot;richly sensual stylistic exercise filled with audaciously beautiful imagery, captivating symmetries and brilliantly facile tricks&#38;quot; - The New York Times.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Bonus! &#38;quot;The Pillow Book&#38;quot; marked one of McGregor&#38;rsquo;s earliest full nude screen appearances -- but wouldn&#38;rsquo;t be his last. To honor his dedication, we&#38;rsquo;ll play a game of trivia before the screening: we&#38;#39;ll show clips of his most...memorable moments, and you guess which films they are from. Full bragging rights (and a drink!) go to whoever guesses the most correctly!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;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&#38;#39;t writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

A hand-picked lineup of rainbow-gendered burlesque, pole or circus stars awaits, each stepping outside the boundaries of their genre to spend the whole night dancing for you on stage and in your lap.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Don&#38;#39;t be late: entertainment starts at 9:30pm.

You&#38;#39;re welcome to sit stage-side when tipping, but please rotate out when your wallet needs a break. Get lap dances: they&#38;#39;re the best part...then try the champagne room, because that&#38;#39;s the only way it can get better. Respect the dancers. Keep your hands to yourself (or your partner). Please treat our pole gently; no wild swinging.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;This month&#38;#39;s teaser: Goddess Viktoria&#38;#39;s psychological approach to BDSM fosters a deeper understanding of desires, language, skills and sensations. She will give a brief teaser of her signature workshop, Discover Your BDSM Blueprint, which is kicking off our Bedroom Badass series on Wed Oct 7.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Kurious is followed by our monthly queer-forward kink play &#38;amp; goth dance party Dark DecaDance (combo tickets are available). For those of you staying to play &#38;amp; dance at DDD, feel free to dress casual for the mixer and change by 10:30pm, as per DDD rules -- or be your full kinky gothy self the whole time.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Part social party, part makeout party, part play party. The countdown begins when doors open at 10pm: it&#38;#39;s a mix-and-mingle social party for the first hour. At 11, all regular makeout party rules apply: all the clothes stay on, and all playtime is PG13-rated. But at 12am, the door is locked, and the party can take its natural course. Please arrive by 11:45pm, though you can leave anytime.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;We generally do not want Countdown to be the first HoS party you attend: if you&#38;#39;re new, we suggest you start with social events; if you&#38;#39;ve been around the play party block, start at Lip Service makeout party to meet the community first.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Respiratory safety: HoS requires proof of COVID vaccination on file; masks encouraged; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;*Countdown happens on every fourth Saturday of the month.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Hello lovelies,&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Sorry for the Discord link not working last week...promise, this one will: https://discord.gg/h9c8yAFKB&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;And! If you are a previously approved monthly member (ie you can buy tickets to our play events), you can also get access to extra channels -- including spicy, cruising &#38;amp; PAL plan ones. Info on how to get that extra access is on the Discord, or reply from your member email for a direct link that grants you that access with one click as you join.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Aren&#38;#39;t a HoS member or approved yet? As always, membership is open to all and starts at $5. And you can get approved anytime, not just for a specific party.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;While we&#38;#39;re sending you elsewhere: our Partiful and FetLife have been picking up steam. Don&#38;#39;t follow us there yet? Now is a great time to start -- see signature below for all social links.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#38;gt;&#38;gt;&#38;nbsp; September with HoS (scroll down for full invites &#38;amp; rules):&#38;nbsp; &#38;lt;&#38;lt;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- This Fri 8.27 - Dark DecaDance goth dance + kink play party ($0-20, open to all) - queer meets kink meets goth. Light kink play welcome against our backdrop of a social and dance party, but all bottoms must stay on. Yes, the cross and the toys will be out.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Next Fri 9.4 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - Always the best place to start, if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and a great way to catch up with the community and be the first to meet the new folks if you&#38;#39;re a regular. No requirements, no drama, no membership required.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 9.11 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - If you&#38;#39;re ready for something a little more physical, this is the party that started it all &#38;amp; remains the group favorite for a reason. Come kiss boys, girls and everyone in between (or just your partner, if you&#38;#39;re so inclined).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Sun 9.13 - Sinema Club: exploring gender &#38;amp; sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - It&#38;#39;s rare to see sexuality-oriented cinema be treated seriously, and we are here to change that. This month&#38;#39;s feature is Peter Greenaway&#38;#39;s luscious arthouse erotic drama The Pillow Book (1996).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 9.18 - Saints &#38;amp; Sinners: pop-up strip club ($0-25 GA / $0-45 VIP, members only) - You know it; you love it; there&#38;#39;s nothing else like it.

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;People always ask if can join HoS if they are shy, don&#38;#39;t have like-minded friends, lack PALs for play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don&#38;#39;t feel like jumping into sexy activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc etc. This party is the answer!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, ENM and other &#38;quot;alternative&#38;quot; dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We&#38;#39;re creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the place to start if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and the party is always FREE if you&#38;#39;re already a member.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;re the first to complete your bingo card.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

It&#38;#39;s also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;The body&#38;#39;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;This month&#38;#39;s feature: Peter Greenaway&#38;#39;s &#38;quot;The Pillow Book&#38;quot; (1996)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;One of the most beautiful movies about a fetish ever made, THE PILLOW BOOK (1996) centers on the act of painting calligraphy across the human body. It&#38;rsquo;s the obsession of main character Nagiko (Vivian Wu), who offers herself as a canvas to various artists and lovers, culminating in her meeting Jerome (Ewan McGregor), who proves her match in many ways. Director Peter Greenaway clothes the many gorgeous nude bodies in layers of gorgeous cinematography, evoking high praise for the visuals from the critics at the time. &#38;quot;Dense, gorgeous and inexorable&#38;quot; - Boston Globe; &#38;quot;richly sensual stylistic exercise filled with audaciously beautiful imagery, captivating symmetries and brilliantly facile tricks&#38;quot; - The New York Times.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Bonus! &#38;quot;The Pillow Book&#38;quot; marked one of McGregor&#38;rsquo;s earliest full nude screen appearances -- but wouldn&#38;rsquo;t be his last. To honor his dedication, we&#38;rsquo;ll play a game of trivia before the screening: we&#38;#39;ll show clips of his most...memorable moments, and you guess which films they are from. Full bragging rights (and a drink!) go to whoever guesses the most correctly!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;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&#38;#39;t writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;*Sinema Club happens on every second Sunday of the month&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;For one night only, our sexy clubhouse becomes a full-on strip club, with a double-pole stage, an array of lap dance-ready seating, and our very own Champagne Room. A hand-picked lineup of rainbow-gendered burlesque, pole or circus stars awaits, each stepping outside the boundaries of their genre to spend the whole night dancing for you on stage and in your lap.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Don&#38;#39;t be late: entertainment starts at 9:30pm. Once the dancers are done at 1am, the stage is yours to shake your booty on. Live out your strip fantasies as our DJ provides the beats into the night.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Rules of the club: Bring cash to tip dancers &#38;amp; bar staff generously (we can exchange your larger bills but there&#38;#39;s no ATM). You&#38;#39;re welcome to sit stage-side when tipping, but please rotate out when your wallet needs a break. Get lap dances: they&#38;#39;re the best part...then try the champagne room, because that&#38;#39;s the only way it can get better. Respect the dancers. Keep your hands to yourself (or your partner). Please treat our pole gently; no wild swinging.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Part social party, part makeout party, part play party. The countdown begins when doors open at 10pm: it&#38;#39;s a mix-and-mingle social party for the first hour. At 11, all regular makeout party rules apply: all the clothes stay on, and all playtime is PG13-rated. But at 12am, the door is locked, and the party can take its natural course. Please arrive by 11:45pm, though you can leave anytime.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;We generally do not want Countdown to be the first HoS party you attend: if you&#38;#39;re new, we suggest you start with social events; if you&#38;#39;ve been around the play party block, start at Lip Service makeout party to meet the community first.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;OK, here we go...opening up our Discord! Here&#38;#39;s the invite to the main channels: https://discord.gg/qDUMF8sPA&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;And! If you are a previously approved monthly member (ie you can buy tickets to our play events), you can also get access to extra channels -- including spicy, cruising &#38;amp; PAL plan ones. Info on how to get that extra access is on the Discord.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Aren&#38;#39;t a HoS member or approved yet? As always, membership is open to all and starts at $5. And with Countdown this Saturday, now is an excellent time to get approved.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;While we&#38;#39;re sending you elsewhere: our Partiful and FetLife have been picking up steam. Don&#38;#39;t follow us there yet? Now is a great time to start -- see signature below for all social links.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

As safe of a play space as only HoS can do: we&#38;#39;re known as the most wholesome play party in NYC for a reason.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Next Fri 8.27 - Dark DecaDance goth dance + kink play party ($0-20, open to all) - queer meets kink meets goth. Light kink play welcome against our backdrop of a social and dance party, but all bottoms must stay on. Yes, the cross and the toys will be out.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

No requirements, no drama, no membership required.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

Come kiss boys, girls and everyone in between (or just your partner, if you&#38;#39;re so inclined).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

This month&#38;#39;s feature is Peter Greenaway&#38;#39;s luscious arthouse erotic drama The Pillow Book (1996).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

Don&#38;#39;t know? You should know. And no, we can&#38;#39;t tell you more. Earlybird tix until Fri Sep 4 give $10 off for members *and guests* on both GA and reserved seat admission. Snag them now.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Part social party, part makeout party, part play party. The countdown begins when doors open at 10pm: it&#38;#39;s a mix-and-mingle social party for the first hour. At 11, all regular makeout party rules apply: all the clothes stay on, and all playtime is PG13-rated. But at 12am, the door is locked, and the party can take its natural course. Please arrive by 11:45pm, though you can leave anytime.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;We generally do not want Countdown to be the first HoS party you attend: if you&#38;#39;re new, we suggest you start with social events; if you&#38;#39;ve been around the play party block, start at Lip Service makeout party to meet the community first.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;re the first to complete your bingo card.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;s also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;This month&#38;#39;s feature: Peter Greenaway&#38;#39;s &#38;quot;The Pillow Book&#38;quot; (1996)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;One of the most beautiful movies about a fetish ever made, THE PILLOW BOOK (1996) centers on the act of painting calligraphy across the human body. It&#38;rsquo;s the obsession of main character Nagiko (Vivian Wu), who offers herself as a canvas to various artists and lovers, culminating in her meeting Jerome (Ewan McGregor), who proves her match in many ways. Director Peter Greenaway clothes the many gorgeous nude bodies in layers of gorgeous cinematography, evoking high praise for the visuals from the critics at the time. &#38;quot;Dense, gorgeous and inexorable&#38;quot; - Boston Globe; &#38;quot;richly sensual stylistic exercise filled with audaciously beautiful imagery, captivating symmetries and brilliantly facile tricks&#38;quot; - The New York Times.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Bonus! &#38;quot;The Pillow Book&#38;quot; marked one of McGregor&#38;rsquo;s earliest full nude screen appearances -- but wouldn&#38;rsquo;t be his last. To honor his dedication, we&#38;rsquo;ll play a game of trivia before the screening: we&#38;#39;ll show clips of his most...memorable moments, and you guess which films they are from. Full bragging rights (and a drink!) go to whoever guesses the most correctly!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;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&#38;#39;t writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;For one night only, our sexy clubhouse becomes a full-on strip club, with a double-pole stage, an array of lap dance-ready seating, and our very own Champagne Room. A hand-picked lineup of rainbow-gendered burlesque, pole or circus stars awaits, each stepping outside the boundaries of their genre to spend the whole night dancing for you on stage and in your lap.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Don&#38;#39;t be late: entertainment starts at 9:30pm. Once the dancers are done at 1am, the stage is yours to shake your booty on. Live out your strip fantasies as our DJ provides the beats into the night.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Rules of the club: Bring cash to tip dancers &#38;amp; bar staff generously (we can exchange your larger bills but there&#38;#39;s no ATM). You&#38;#39;re welcome to sit stage-side when tipping, but please rotate out when your wallet needs a break. Get lap dances: they&#38;#39;re the best part...then try the champagne room, because that&#38;#39;s the only way it can get better. Respect the dancers. Keep your hands to yourself (or your partner). Please treat our pole gently; no wild swinging.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

Seat choice is first-come, first-served.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

Bring toys &#38;amp; games to share (blindfolds? rope? sexy dice?).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;s also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;DDD is a queer-forward kink-friendly goth dance celebration, inviting all participants to let go, dance and play in our luscious private loft. We embrace all genders and sexualities and levels of darkness.&#60;br /&#62;
&#38;nbsp;&#60;br /&#62;
On decks: resident DJ Shiver has been bringing the best of darkwave, goth, industrial, and post-punk sounds since 2015. Having spun at Femme Fest LA, Defcon NYC, and co-founding clubs Dolce Vita and Physical Ruins, she continues to blend both beloved classics and the best of new dark music. She also runs Wire Trap music magazine featuring the best new darkwave and post-punk music and events.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Guest DJ: TBA&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Light over-clothes kink play welcome, but there is no dedicated dungeon setup or monitors. Consent and polite party behavior strictly enforced.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Dress code: goth, fetish, romantic, vampire, dark Lolita, neo-Victorian, steampunk, ninja warrior. Effort required / no casual wear.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Respiratory safety: masks always welcome; two hospital grade UV air purifiers cycle the air.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;*Dark DecaDance happens on every fourth Friday of the month.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Hello lovelies,&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;We are excited to tell you that House of Scorpio Discord is growing rapidly, and we can&#38;#39;t wait to have you all join. However, at the moment, we&#38;#39;re ONLY open to monthly members: check your inbox for your special invite link. AND if you are a previously approved member (ie you can buy tickets to our play events), there&#38;#39;s another email with a different link that includes access to extra channels only open to you -- including spicy, cruising &#38;amp; PAL plan ones.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Aren&#38;#39;t a member yet? Join now, and we&#38;#39;ll send you that invite as well. As always, membership is open to all and starts at $5. (You can also get approved and get full access to all channels -- just send us your Discord handle when you&#38;#39;re emailing for approval.)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;While we&#38;#39;re sending you elsewhere: our Partiful and FetLife have been picking up steam. Don&#38;#39;t follow us there yet? Now is a great time to start -- see signature below for all social links.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#38;gt;&#38;gt;&#38;nbsp; August with HoS (scroll down for full invites &#38;amp; rules):&#38;nbsp; &#38;lt;&#38;lt;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Fri 8.7 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - Never been to our kinds of parties or are new to this community? Start here! All are welcome, and no membership is required (but the event is free even for $5 Buddy members). We&#38;#39;ve had an uptick in curious folks lately, so let&#38;#39;s make this one to welcome new members into the fold.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Sun 8.9 - Sinema Club: exploring gender &#38;amp; sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - It&#38;#39;s rare to see sexuality-oriented cinema be treated seriously, and we are here to change that. This month, a 2004 cult classic by beloved trash master John Waters - &#38;quot;A Dirty Shame.&#38;quot; We&#38;#39;ll be screening the more scandalous NC-17 version, too!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Fri 8.14 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - If you&#38;#39;re ready for something a little more physical, this is the party that started it all &#38;amp; remains the group favorite for a reason. Come kiss boys, girls and everyone in between (or just your partner, if you&#38;#39;re so inclined).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Sun 8.16 - Guest event: Frick Frack Blackjack Sunday Social ($0-25, open to all) - Our card- and fun-dealing friends at Frick Frack are finally doing one of their raucous trinket-gambling party nights at our Loft, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Friend level member and up? Enjoy your usual discounts on this event as well. Those tickets are available in the HoS member system.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Sat 8.22 - Countdown pansexual play party ($0-50, approved members only) - the one HoS party where you can go all the way with your partner(s) or our beautiful community members. As safe of a play space as only HoS can do: we&#38;#39;re known as the most wholesome play party in NYC for a reason.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;- Fri 8.27 - Dark DecaDance goth dance party ($0-20, open to all) - queer meets kink meets goth. Light kink play welcome against our backdrop of a social and dance party. Yes, the cross and the toys will be out.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;***&#60;br /&#62;
Please reserve tickets in advance! It helps us plan entertainment, staff and supplies. Friend with Benefits level+ members can even retain credit for any unused tickets and roll them over to another event. If you want to upgrade levels: https://bit.ly/4bsZAKQ&#60;br /&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;People always ask if can join HoS if they are shy, don&#38;#39;t have like-minded friends, lack PALs for play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don&#38;#39;t feel like jumping into sexy activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc etc. This party is the answer!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, ENM and other &#38;quot;alternative&#38;quot; dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We&#38;#39;re creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the place to start if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and the party is always FREE if you&#38;#39;re already a member.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;re the first to complete your bingo card.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Current host: Miss Scorpio is back hosting the mixer.

We&#38;#39;ve been building this community for you for 10+ years, and hope to be here for 10+ more.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;The body&#38;#39;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;This month&#38;#39;s feature: John Waters&#38;#39; &#38;quot;A Dirty Shame&#38;quot; (2004)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;Set in the director&#38;#39;s favorite playground of Baltimore, the film centers on Sylvia Stickles (Tracey Ullman), your average, sex-hating American mother and housewife who one day takes a hit on the head, transforming her into a nymphomaniac and drawing the attention of a sex cult leader named Ray-Ray (Johnny Knoxville). Waters&#38;#39; last movie to date, A DIRTY SHAME fearlessly skewers our nation&#38;#39;s puritanical morality while showing off a veritable encyclopedia of sexual fetishes, done in an underground style that harkens back to PINK FLAMINGOS and FEMALE TROUBLE. For extra fun, we&#38;#39;ll be screening the NC-17 rated version.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;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&#38;#39;t writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Because of how the calendar lines up, we have a rare weekend off this week -- and then we&#38;#39;re back with the usual monthly rotation of events, escalating from the vanilla social mixer to the spicy play party.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;In the meantime: if you are or have ever been an approved member (ie you can buy tickets to our play events), check your inboxes for another email from us...you got an early House of Scorpio Discord invite last week, including to the *spicy* channels. Want to jump into the fun, but aren&#38;#39;t approved yet? Join as a member and get approved, and yes, we&#38;#39;ll send you that invite as well.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;And ofc, as we mentioned in previous weeks, we&#38;#39;re now on Partiful: https://bit.ly/HoS_partiful for the spicy &#38;amp; https://bit.ly/GSLoft_partiful for vanilla :)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;&#38;gt;&#38;gt;&#38;nbsp; August with HoS (scroll down for full invites &#38;amp; rules):&#38;nbsp; &#38;lt;&#38;lt;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 8.7 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - Never been to our kinds of parties or are new to this community? Start here! All are welcome, and no membership is required (but the event is free even for $5 Buddy members). We&#38;#39;ve had an uptick in curious folks lately, so let&#38;#39;s make this one to welcome new members into the fold.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Sun 8.9 - Sinema Club: exploring gender &#38;amp; sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - It&#38;#39;s rare to see sexuality-oriented cinema be treated seriously, and we are here to change that. This month, a 2004 cult classic by beloved trash master John Waters - &#38;quot;A Dirty Shame.&#38;quot; We&#38;#39;ll be screening the more scandalous NC-17 version, too!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 8.14 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - If you&#38;#39;re ready for something a little more physical, this is the party that started it all &#38;amp; remains the group favorite for a reason. Come kiss boys, girls and everyone in between (or just your partner, if you&#38;#39;re so inclined).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Sat 8.22 - Countdown pansexual play party ($0-50, approved members only) - The culmination of the month&#38;#39;s playful warmup, this is the one where you can go all the way.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;- Fri 8.27 - Dark DecaDance goth dance party ($0-20, open to all) - queer meets kink meets goth. Light play welcome against our backdrop of a social and dance party.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;People always ask if can join HoS if they are shy, don&#38;#39;t have like-minded friends, lack PALs for play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don&#38;#39;t feel like jumping into sexy activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc etc. This party is the answer!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, ENM and other &#38;quot;alternative&#38;quot; dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We&#38;#39;re creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the place to start if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and the party is always FREE if you&#38;#39;re already a member.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;re the first to complete your bingo card.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Current host: Miss Scorpio is back hosting the mixer.

We&#38;#39;ve been building this community for you for 10+ years, and hope to be here for 10+ more.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

You can also order in from the many restaurants around, and make it dinner and a movie.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;This month&#38;#39;s feature: John Waters&#38;#39; &#38;quot;A Dirty Shame&#38;quot; (2004)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Set in the director&#38;#39;s favorite playground of Baltimore, the film centers on Sylvia Stickles (Tracey Ullman), your average, sex-hating American mother and housewife who one day takes a hit on the head, transforming her into a nymphomaniac and drawing the attention of a sex cult leader named Ray-Ray (Johnny Knoxville). Waters&#38;#39; last movie to date, A DIRTY SHAME fearlessly skewers our nation&#38;#39;s puritanical morality while showing off a veritable encyclopedia of sexual fetishes, done in an underground style that harkens back to PINK FLAMINGOS and FEMALE TROUBLE. For extra fun, we&#38;#39;ll be screening the NC-17 rated version.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;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&#38;#39;t writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;*Sinema Club happens on every second Sunday of the month&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Bring your luscious lips (yours and your PAL&#38;#39;s), and join us for lubricating libations and naughty games with sexy friends and intriguing strangers. Bring toys &#38;amp; games to share (blindfolds? rope? sexy dice?).&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;s also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

The countdown begins when doors open at 10pm: it&#38;#39;s a mix-and-mingle social party for the first hour. At 11, all regular makeout party rules apply: all the clothes stay on, and all playtime is PG13-rated. But at 12am, the door is locked, and the party can take its natural course. Please arrive by 11:45pm, though you can leave anytime.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;We generally do not want Countdown to be the first HoS party you attend: if you&#38;#39;re new, we suggest you start with social events; if you&#38;#39;ve been around the play party block, start at Lip Service makeout party to meet the community first.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

We&#38;#39;ll divide our 5k sq ft loft in two &#38;amp; run these side-by-side.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;On the dance floor &#38;amp; stage - FemFlirt: fem &#38;amp; non-binary flirting &#38;amp; makeout party. In the lounge - MeetMarket: pansexual flirting party. In the bar - a neutral zone for everyone to take a break from flirting. Our community leans pan and poly/ENM, but we welcome everyone into our sx-pos consent-forward dating pool.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Social games 9-10pm to help you connect; tabletop games and conversation starters all night to make flirting less awkward; name tags w color coded stars to make flirting parameters clear.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;This event is a small step towards diminishing pan, queer and gay femme/NB invisibility, enabling and encouraging those folks to connect romantically and physically...wherever they fall on the gender presentation spectrum. We invite you into our safe space -- one where you know for sure every person present could be more than a friend. Not quite sure where to start? Our beloved Spin The Bottle game makes a great excuse to make contact you can then follow up on.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

An all-gender, all-orientation flirting party to help you find a partner (or two). Our PAL rule is on hold as well: come alone or bring someone. Wondering where to meet up with your new app match? Bring them here. Invite your single friends. Tell your mom.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;People always ask if can join HoS if they are shy, don&#38;#39;t have like-minded friends, lack PALs for play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don&#38;#39;t feel like jumping into sexy activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc etc. This party is the answer!&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, ENM and other &#38;quot;alternative&#38;quot; dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We&#38;#39;re creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the place to start if you&#38;#39;ve never been -- and the party is always FREE if you&#38;#39;re already a member.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;re the first to complete your bingo card.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Current host: Miss Scorpio is back hosting the mixer.

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;s also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;The body&#38;#39;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.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;This month&#38;#39;s feature: John Waters&#38;#39; &#38;quot;A Dirty Shame&#38;quot; (2004)&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;Set in the director&#38;#39;s favorite playground of Baltimore, the film centers on Sylvia Stickles (Tracey Ullman), your average, sex-hating American mother and housewife who one day takes a hit on the head, transforming her into a nymphomaniac and drawing the attention of a sex cult leader named Ray-Ray (Johnny Knoxville). Waters&#38;#39; last movie to date, A DIRTY SHAME fearlessly skewers our nation&#38;#39;s puritanical morality while showing off a veritable encyclopedia of sexual fetishes, done in an underground style that harkens back to PINK FLAMINGOS and FEMALE TROUBLE. For extra fun, we&#38;#39;ll be screening the NC-17 rated version.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&#34;&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;font-size:14px;&#34;&#62;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&#38;#39;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&#38;#39;t writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
