The sex party enterprise Littlesins is a European-based business (parties in Rotterdam, etc.). But lately they’ve been making waves with their elaborate, private, exclusive and very expensive parties in the UK. A quick Flickr search brings up all kinds of very juicy looking event photos, and add to these the info in the Guardian UK’s sunday feature Rush for tickets to posh sex parties — and it looks like I’ve got a great reason to visit the UK in september. I’d LOVE to attend one of these… But, anyway — unlike the Guardian UK, I’m actually linking you to Littlesins. Sheesh. Snip:

I’m not easily shocked, but you British really know how to get a party started. After last Saturday I don’t think you can say the British are a bit puritan at all.”
However, the owner of the 17-bedroom stately home, Grahame Bond, was less enthusiastic, complaining that couples were “having sex over the banisters and beneath the chandeliers”.
Voorvaart said there were strict rules forbidding guests from having sex in front of others (they are told to retire to more discreet locations), but admits: “It was not possible to stop them.”
He hopes to fare better in September when his company, Little Sins, holds its second UK party in a fortress on an island off the south coast, where everyone will be dressed in white. The company is also looking for a suitable cave to hold an underground soirée (…read more, guardian.co.uk)
