"Nowadays, some business women are eschewing the book club and wine bar for another girls-only gathering: the sex toy party. Modeled after the traditional Tupperware party, these increasingly popular events give career women the chance to relax and buy items like lubricants and performance-enhancers in the privacy of someone's home..." -Pink Magazine, July/August 2008 It's all true. Go to a party, host a party or even start selling toys yourself... One of the great things about home parties is that they offer women a safe environment to explore the toys and tools on the market. And a chance to have honest dialog with friends about sex. To me this is a beautiful, grassroots movement. Run by women and supported by women (and some extraordinary men.) Traditionally women have been so isolated when it comes to sex. With a home party a woman can whip up a mini-movement with in her own peer group and say, "Sex is good for you. Come over to my house. We are going to have some laughs, talk about sex and make sexuality the easy going, breath of fresh air it is supposed to be!" Suddenly you've planted a little seed within your friends. Even if they don't come to the party, you have them thinking about sex. People who have not been to a good sex toy home party don't understand the power they hold. They may have misconstrued ideas that this is all about selling sex toys. In my eyes, the sex toys support the movement. Buying products means that woman at the front of the room can continue her heart-felt mission. Making sexual empowerment accessible to everyone. Especially women.
