House of Scorpio > Upcoming Events

HoS hosts 5-7 monthly events. Taste The Rainbow, our sex-positive community-building mixer, is the best place to start if you're new, and/or want facilitated introductions, detailed explanations, and social party games. If you're feeling more adventurous, our makeout party Lip Service is the event we're most well known for: think of it as rated R instead of X. We also love to create sexiness for your brain: there's our Sinema Club, exploring sexuality and queerness on film, from PG to X rating, and the twice-monthly Bedroom Badass, our series of "adult" education workshops. The classes and movie nights coincide with Wednesday night HoS Clubhouse hours, when the bar and lounge of our home venue, Gemini and Scorpio Loft, are open FREE to all members.

In addition to our monthly parties, we have three rotating quarterly events: Saints and Sinners, a creeper-free strip club-themed performance party; FemFlirt, a women- and NB-only flirting party, and Fierce!, a queer+ dance party and social.

Plus we do one-off events, like Persephone, an immersive performance, sensory & kink experience; and The Sinners Market, New York's only fetish, fantasy and sex-positive pop-up market. And of course you never know what other unpredictable sex-positive events we may come up with.

Details for all upcoming events are below and are easiest to get via our mailing list, just to the right. Membership is required to attend all HoS events unless otherwise specified (it's instant and starts at $5). Our Code of Conduct always applies, and some of our events require PALs. Additionally, approval is required for play events. Read the invites below fully, as each specifies attendance requirements. Lastly, we still take COVID seriously and have specific counter-infection measures in place, outlined here.

While ticketed activities take place in the main space, the bar and lounge remain open 7pm-11pm (12am if enough people are lounging). Just like with regular events, if you're Friend level and above, you can bring up to two friends with you. Order in dinner, have a few drinks, run a friendly board game, or just read a book on the comfy couch. This is not a mixer -- just us opening our doors for our members. It's up to you how much you socialize, if at all, and with whom.

We get asked all the time how people can join us if they are shy, don't know like-minded friends, lack PALs for the play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don't really feel like jumping into sexual activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc. This new monthly party is the answer!

Calling all poly, swinger, kink, LGBTQIA and other "alternative" dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We're creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the ONLY HoS event open to non-members. Come meet the community before you join!

For those of you new to it all: direct introductions to HoS members new and old; facilitated discussions on poly, kink and swinger lifestyles; icebreaker games to welcome you to our club.

For our regulars: a way to ease new friends into our scene; a chance to meet all the new faces you may want to kiss later; a visit with the community even if your PAL is not around

For everyone: tabletop and social games, both risqué and plain fun; a charming host to make the introductions and explain all things HoS and sex-positive, and a cozy setting for conversations and future kisses. Our main icebreaker game, HoS Guest Bingo, runs from 7:30pm until we have a winner: get to know everyone in the room, and win a drink if you complete your bingo card.

Miss Scorpio is back hosting the mixer! Come ask her directly anything you want to know about this community. We've been building it for you for 10+ years, and hope to be here for 10+ more.

Bring your luscious lips (yours and your PAL's), and join us for lubricating cocktails and naughty games with sexy friends and intriguing strangers. Bring toys & games to share (blindfolds? rope? sexy dice?).

Feeling shy or wanting to meet new folks? Come early! Between 9-11pm, Miss Scorpio is there to introduce new members to old timers, explain how the whole HoS thing works, and generally make a delightful fuss over your presence. It's also a great time to ask her everything you ever wanted to know about HoS.

Think of our makeout parties as R-rated community mixers--a place to get to know your fellow kinksters, introduce a partner to a more playful lifestyle, and maybe even find a future PAL--before attending the more naughty play parties. It's also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties; talk to us at the event.

Fetish attire, formalwear, lingerie, corsets, tutus and costumes always welcome...and we consider those unisex options (the more colorful and outrageous, the better). No casual or business; door person WILL turn you away. Yes, you can change when you get here.

A brand new HoS member mixer and another open night to enjoy our lush clubhouse.

The body's largest sex organ is the brain. Sinema Club stimulates yours with films that are explicitly erotic, homo-romantic, or gender-exploring -- and always thought-provoking. A rousing discussion follows; drinking is encouraged throughout, and mingling happens before, during and after: the bar remains open for socializing, while the film plays in the main space. Plus: free popcorn from our vintage cart.

This month: Hallmark holigays! It's been a tough year...let's hide under the cinematic blanket of the gayest (in every sense) Christmas spirit of the Hallmark Channel, everybody's go-to for holiday schmaltz. We'll cue up a few options, warm up the hot chocolate (for real!), and pick the one movie to out-cheese them all. Both picks bring the holiday feels as well as subvert familiar Christmas-movie tropes. PJs and blankets welcome.

Option 1: FRIENDS & FAMILY CHRISTMAS (2023), which repurposes the career-obsessed single who brings the "fake" romantic partner home for holiday dinner, albeit with a lesbian protagonist and love interest this time. Naturally, neither the dinner or "fake" partner go exactly as they expect.

Option 2: THE HOLIDAY SITTER (2022), in which a lovably irresponsible gay dude gets stuck with the care of his nephew and niece due to an unexpected crisis. Will he rise to the occasion, thereby reinforcing the time-worn edict that being part of a family during the holidays means rising to the occasion?

[In case you still want Real Film, for Option 3, we will be offering a choice a little more in line with what we normally screen: François Ozon's 8 WOMEN (8 FEMMES) (2002), starring almost every famous French actress of the time. It plays with elements of the Christmas-set murder mystery, albeit with more camp and lesbianism than is typical.]

Sinema Club is curated and hosted by Phil Guie-Ng (@thatphilguymovies): an inquisitive, ardent longtime film critic who is dying to tell you about movies you haven't heard of yet. As a reviewer at the website Film-Forward, his self-appointed mission was covering documentaries and features about subjects who challenged conventional attitudes about gender, masculinity, and more. When Phil isn't writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.

2024 dates: 3.15, 6.21, 12.20

It's been a common refrain that it's harder for women to flirt with each other, as we frequently can't tell how much flirting may be ok, who's straight and who's flexible/bi/queer, whether a connection we may be feeling is a friendly one or one with potential chemistry to explore. And, when cis & hetero presenting, we are sometimes made to feel too straight for queer spaces, so are left to guess in mixed environments.

This event is a small step towards diminishing bi, queer and gay femme invisibility, enabling and encouraging women of all genders to connect socially and romantically to other women. We hope to be a place of empowerment and support for your exploration, even if you're just starting out or are unsure about your orientation. Explore and push your boundaries in a safe space, or just be be social with other queer or queer-curious femmes.

We start with "Flirting for Femmes" mini Bedroom Badass class with Vonka, followed by a sassy makeouts-encouraged mixer giving you a chance to practice your new skills. Don't need the class or don't want to flirt? Come for the party and connect with a roomful of NB- or fem-identifying humans.

Dress code: dress in whatever makes you feel sexy, however feminine or masculine you feel. We won't enforce the dress code as strictly as at our other events, but we respectfully ask for no casual attire. You're coming to flirt!

Who can attend: NB- or fem-identifying humans who want to connect with other NB and fem folk, from bi-curious to gay. While HoS events are usually more pansexual, we're going to keep this one as a femme-only space. Please note that we're a TERF-free zone! Trans women are women, and we <3 you.
