Kinky is a yummy vodka fusion liqueur including mango, blood orange, and passion fruit juices. (There's also a blue version which I have yet to try.)
I did not host the party, but I did bring the fixin's and made these extremely simple yet tasty cocktails:
- Rim the glasses with lime flavored cocktail sugar. Note: It did a really crappy job sticking to the plastic cups.
- Add ice to each glass.
- Add about 1/3 Kinky Liqueur (measuring is for wimps!)
- Fill to top with Cactus Cooler (orange-pineapple soda) or Seven-Up.
- Garnish with the little cocktail parasols (you know you want to) and colored napkins.
Enjoy!
There were also delicious snacks provided by the hostess with the mostest, Who Shall Not Be Named, and contributed by the other attendees, Who Also Shall Not Be Named. But it was loads of fun and it cracked me up, the intense competition for the title of Biggest Ho.
Once we were fed and drunken, the fabulous Hillary Lozano, Passion Parties Exec Director from the OC, started off us easy, with enticing-scented lotions and scrubs, edible concoctions, like Nibblers that plump up your lips or nips, and taste good, pheromones, and lube.
All Lubes Are Not Created Equal
While alcohol can be a very effective lubricant in terms of breaking down inhibitions (most of us have worn Beer Goggles at one time or another), alcohol isn't so friendly when it comes to sensitive tissues and Accessories that touch sensitive tissues. So whenever possible, avoid using personal lubricants that contain high levels of alcohol.
It's also important, when choosing flavored lubes and panties, etc., to beware of sugar and high fructose anything that'll be introduced into the vagina. Else you may later need to introduce yeast infection cures into the same vagina.
This Is Not Your Grandmother's Vibrator
If you're like me, your first (and possibly only) vibrator was about 9-11" long, made of hard plastic, cream or chocolate colored, extremely noisy, and not particularly lifelike.
On the plus side, back in the day when those were the go-to vibrators, there were probably also flashlights around you could cannibalize to get you through the night.
I believe Old Faithful is still around, but there are many, many more choices. Even for somebody like me who writes erotic fiction, it is kind of mind-blowing to see them all laid out on a coffee table.

But that's one advantage to being a guest at a Passion Party; in an an adults only shop you might feel self-conscious staring "too long" at various items, or asking "dumb" questions. There were no dumb questions, and Hillary offered many important tips like staying away from phthalates, which many sex products used to include (some still do).
Being able to touch and feel the toys (above the waist only, ladies!), as they were vibrating and rotating and flashing away was another bonus.
Yes, I said flashing.
One in particular, a hot pink pickle-looking thing with a round handle had built in flashing LED's that reminded me of blinking construction signs:
G-Spot
Up Ahead
Well, some people (*cough* *men* *cough*) do need but resist getting directions.

To Orgasm, and Beyond!
Seriously, I could so see an offspring getting hold of that thing and re-enacting the Parenthood scene, only with a "Can I play with this toy, Mommy?"
There were friendly toys, like the Sili Rabbit (oh, the twitching ears, so cute!), and things shaped very much like penises (penii?) and eggs and gadgets with remote controls and things that were (kind of) C-shaped, almost like deformed dentures.
I ordered one of those, a We Vibe 3 after being assured it could be used for both solo and couple play. Plus it has a remote control!
And it came as part of the Summer Greetings package, with a selection of lube and magic potions to "enhance pleasure" for both partners.

Make It Last
Hillary also shared that while yes, adult playthings do need regular washing, this should NOT be done with alcohol or antibacterial soap (which contains a lot of alcohol), but regular soap and water in most cases. Many toys will last longer if cleaned with certain products (which Passion Parties conveniently sell).
Always check the specific care instructions that come with any product (for intimate play or not). If it says don't use on freshly shaved skin, or that it's not fully immersible, or whatever, don't do that thing.
It's All Research, I Tell Ya
Because these parties are so popular, you may want to have one or more of your fictional characters attend or host one. You probably need to attend one in person, yourself, because it's very important to get the details right. <wink wink> Or your character may have her (or his) own "Parenthood" moment with a personal plaything revealing itself at an awkward time.
Of course, I've already blogged about the benefits of masturbation, for both singles and those in a relationship. Which is another thing you might want to include in your fiction. Or your life.
One last thing... I was much impressed with the knowledge and fun style presented by Hillary, as well as the delivery time. Ordered Saturday afternoon, delivered Tuesday afternoon.Talk about wham-bang-thank-you-ma'am!
Gotta go, I need to go do some more... research.
Do you have a Kinky cocktail recipe?
Another good cocktail for a Passion Party?
Have you ever attended this kind of party - what did you think?
