Roaring Twenties are back!
Boom in upper class sex parties
THERE may be masks aplenty, but it’s unlikely Chris Whitty and his sombre colleagues at SAGE would approve.
Demand for Killing Kittens upmarket sex parties has soared since lockdown, with post-pandemic freedoms helping drive a hedonism reminiscent of “the Roaring Twenties”.
Killing Kittens, which organises some of the nation’s biggest adult events, says revenue was up 65 per cent compared to pre-lockdown numbers, with hundreds more guests welcomed.
CEO Emma Sayle said she believed that “healthy hedonism” and the realisation from lockdown that “life was there to be lived” had caused the spike.
She said: “Three months of tickets sold out in eight hours. The demand is mind-blowing.” The company boss, who counts the Duchess of Cambridge among her friends, says the size of the £400-a-ticket parties has also doubled, with the average gathering increasing from 200 to 400 revellers.
“Lockdown has changed everything,” she said.
“Covid has enforced digital lifestyles on people, but no amount of coercion will ever take away the fact we are animals.we need physical and social interaction to survive and evolve.
Some people want to spend their lives wrapped in cotton wool with zero risk.
“But most now see life is there to be lived. Our numbers suggest we are in a new Roaring Twenties.”
The mask-wearing parties first made headlines ten years ago when the elite Mayfair gatherings became the hottest ticket in town.
“The biggest misconception is that everyone who attends has to strip naked and have sex,” said Emma.
“There are lots of strict rules: men can’t approach women they don’t know, for example.
“It’s a sexually positive atmosphere where women are in charge and control.”
Live parties were banned in lockdowns, although gatherings continued online.
Parties are due to start soon in New York.
