So, relevant story. We (girlfriend and I) were visiting a friend who lives at an undisclosed Brooklyn location. While there, others were setting up for an event later in the evening. It was a pretty atmospheric setup, massage areas, well done ambient lighting, "cuddle puddle" areas, other sexual paraphernalia. Obviously we inquired and it turns out the deco was for a Chemistry event. The organizers had asked our opinions of their work and even offered to let us participate for a reduced fee (which was still too high for an impulse decision.) To this day, I still wonder about what could've happened that night.

A shame you couldn't experience it. It sounds like a great date for two people who share a secure emotional relationship. I like how it's only about sex if you want it to be.

    Some are there for the sex, which Whittaker calls “sport fucking,” while others are there to escape cultural norms and define a new, more liberating sexual universe that encompasses the full spectrum of their needs.

Sounds more like a place to explore you and your partner's wants and needs in a private, relaxed atmosphere.

yeah, that''s the best way I'd describe the feel of the environment they created. We basically wanted to try out the different exhibits and talk to others in that lifestyle.
