House of Scorpio > Upcoming Events

The HoS family gathers at multiple 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. It's also the place to get approved in person for the more naughty parties -- like the pansexual Countdown play party or BYOKink kink party. We also love to create sexiness for your brain: there's our brand new Sinema Club, exploring sexuality and queerness on film, from PG to X rating, and the now twice-monthly Bedroom Badass, our series of "adult" education workshops.

In addition to our monthly parties, we have three rotating quarterly events: Saints and Sinners, a luscious creeper-free pop-up strip club; 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 except Taste The Rainbow. 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 all the details and rules you need to know to attend. Lastly, we still take COVID seriously and have specific counter-infection measures in place, outlined here.

Membership & tix | Event on Facebook | Event on Fetlife | Event on Bloom

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.

We have a new host! Meet Foxie Lou (they/them, @MxFoxieLou on IG): queer artist, performer and kink educator with over a decade of experience in kink & sex-pos worlds.

*HoS rules: HoS membership, PAL and dress code not required; no prior approval required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

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! Meet the new HoS host: Foxie Lou (they/them, @MxFoxieLou on IG) - queer artist, performer and kink educator with over a decade of experience in kink & sex-pos worlds. Between 9-11pm, Fox 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.

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.

Dress code: dress to be kissed: sexy and fun. 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 -- see Code of Conduct page on our site for more details on the dress code.

You bring restraints, rope, impact toys, electrostim, cling wrap, pet toys, and things we cannot even imagine.

This is the right event for scenes too kinky, long, intense, advanced or otherwise too much for other HoS events. You can play anywhere in our space, not just the dungeon area. You can also keep it light and indulge in dancing, lounging, cocktails, makeouts and simply enjoy the atmosphere without ever lifting a flogger.

Please get in touch if your fetish involves body fluids, is otherwise messy, or could impact/trigger any other guests: we'd like to talk through safe ways of making your fantasy happen. Please no nudity or X-rated activity; this is kink play only.

Dress code: dress for your kink, of course, with preference for classic fetish attire & lingerie. No casual or business; door person WILL turn you away -- see Code of Conduct page on our site for more details on the dress code. Yes, you can change when you get here.

Rotating every third Sunday: Sinema Club

2023 dates: 9.24, 10.15, 11.19, 12.17

Next event: Sunday, Nov 19, 7pm-12am, 21+ (25+ suggested)
HoS members only*, $0-10 depending on membership level
Our new location! Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible)
Membership & tix | Event on Facebook | Event on Fetlife | Event on Bloom

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.

Thanksgiving month is all about family, and for many of us in the intersecting gender and sexuality minorities, the chosen family ties are frequently stronger than birth family ties -- and sometimes the only option. Chosen family is there without judgment to support us, to hear us out, to celebrate victories, and console us in our defeats. For November, we are showing two films focusing on drag and transgender chosen families:

Paris Is Burning (1990, 78min). A seminal documentary chronicling the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. The title takes its name from the Paris Is Burning ball held annually by artist Paris Dupree who appears in the film. Critics consider the film to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, and a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994, 1hr 44min). Australian road comedy film that follows two drag queens (Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce), and a transgender woman (Terence Stamp), as they journey across the Australian Outback from Sydney to Alice Springs in "Priscilla" the tour bus. The film's positive portrayal of LGBT individuals helped to introduce LGBT themes to a mainstream audience. It received positive reviews, was nominated for (and won several) awards, including Oscars, Golden Globe, BAFTA and more, and ultimately became a worldwide cult classic.

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.

Trying something new! We've been getting inquiries about new people checking out HoS events just after the monthly mixer has passed. We're going to test Fierce! as a possible second monthly mixer where friends and future members are both invited.

Calling all poly, swinger, kink, LGBTQIA+ and other "alternative" dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies for a social & dance blowout in our lush nightlife lair. We got lights & smoke & lasers, booming bass, spinning disco ball, swirling visuals, sprawling dance floor, lots of couches.

Fierce! brings together sultry vibes and celebratory joy, melding mysterious flirtation with sincere connection, all of which is reflected in an eclectic music palate of energetic dance music. Queer DJs lay down an eclectic mix of happy hits & house beats. This night features our resident, underground fave DJ Illexxandra

Resident DJ: Illexxandra

Rotating every third Friday: FemFlirt (flirting class + femmes-only makeout party)

2023 dates: 3.17, 6.16, 9.8, 12.15

Next event: Friday, Sep 8, 8pm doors / 8:30-9:30pm class / 10pm-2am party, 21+ (25+ suggested)
HoS members only*, $0-20 depending on membership level
Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible)
Membership & tix | Event on Facebook | Event on Fetlife | Event on Bloom

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.
