Or a one bedroom or studio…can they make a sex room (or closet/trunk)? What is the purpose of couples making a "mood board" and how does it apply beyond building sex rooms? How can couples uncover their desires and fantasies to add more play and sexiness into the bedroom and beyond? What are some simple DIY ways people can sexify their spaces here and now?

#380 Sex on the Road and Oversees - with Tracy Felder

Why is it so important to create a safe erotic space for bi and bi curious women (as compared to other sex parties)? What actually happens at Skirt Club parties? Why do a lot of people feel bisexuality is an “invisible” orientation? Who are all women play parties for? And how can people talk to their partners about wanting to attend Skirt Club (or explore bisexuality in general)? 
About our guest: Genevieve is the founder of Skirt Club, a private members club for bi-curious & bisexual women. With more than 24,000 members globally, women are more interested in each other than ever. Born in England and raised in Hong Kong, Genevieve has lived in many of the world’s major cities. Her career has spanned financial marketing, sales, branding and journalism. Ten years ago she left her corporate days in finance behind, to pursue a vision of advancing women’s sexual confidence. Genevieve was the first to curate luxurious global events where women can put their own desires first, and gain confidence from the bedroom to the boardroom. Today she is building the world’s first dating app for bisexual women. A leading figure in the movement for women’s sexual empowerment, Genevieve has been interviewed for high-profile publications such as Marie Claire, Elle Magazine, Cosmo, Bloomberg, Rolling Stone and the Sunday Times. Genevieve resides in Miami.
About Skirt Club:
Away from the prying eyes of men, Skirt Club parties are designed to facilitate a night of consensual experimentation – no consequences, no questions.
All our guests share a girl-on-girl interest and no men are allowed, in fact they are banned entirely. ‘Sexual empowerment is not about turning your boyfriend on with another girl’ she says. ‘It’s about doing what excites you’.
Geneviève is a firm believer in the link between high risk and high intelligence. Smart sex requires honesty; the ability to express sexual preference and manage the tension between control and risk. Trust and respect with your partner is important, discretion is key.
Skirt Club’s mission is to build an exclusive all-female community for empowerment and sexual discovery. A network of career minded women with a common interest. Confident, informed women are more successful and the world only benefits from this. 
Designed by women, for women, Skirt Club promotes glamour; free-flowing champagne, burlesque performers and… much more. Attend one of our parties in London, Berlin, Vienna, Ibiza, NYC, SF, LA, DC, Austin, Miami, Shanghai, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. 
All of their events are listed here
