Default Invited to a Pure Pleasure Party

I'm used to attending parties for things like Tupperware and Partylite. I support women trying to make money this way. However ... I'm uncomfortable with a recent invite I got.

The wife of one of my husband's friends invited me to a Pure Romance party at her house. I like her a lot, but the idea of attending a sex toy party with a bunch of other women that I don't even know is a bit weird for me. I know, I know, the line is that it's about "sexual health," but that's a topic that I typically discuss either anonymously here, or in person with my very closest friends during our weekly ladies' night.

Has anyone gone to one of these with people they didn't know? How did it go?

Well, it tends to be raucous fun -- if you are not into lots of sex jokes, it may not be for you. I'd say try it once, you can always make an excuse and leave if you need to?

I've been to a similar one. I didn't like it. Watching strange women ooh and ahh over vibrators is not my idea of a good time. I was waiting for someone to suggest a "live demonstration"; then I was out of there!

You are bathing the cat that evening.

I have gone, it's fun, you buy your purchases one-on-one with the sales rep (not in front of everyone).

However, if you're not comfortable with the idea, don't attend. Decline the invitation. Problem resolved.

I've been to a couple and yeah, they aren't demos or anything. They're kinda fun. My MOH actually held one for my bachelorette and invited my MOTHER AND MOTHER IN LAW. Talk about AAAAAAWKWAAAAAAARD.

my ex used to runs those kind of parties, one time she hosted at out house and it was for couples - I was her other half, I had met everyone there before but not very close. It was uncomfortable but fun, my ex loved doing that, even made some good sales. At that point in our marriage though things were sexless and it felt very sad and hypocritical to be promoting it for others (cause it wasn't working on the homefront). My friends, coworkers and relatives were all put off by her occupational choices, I stuck beside her, I actually thought it was kinda cool that she was doing that.

yeah Ann Summers parties are quite big over here - it really depends on who you're with and the party 'host'

watching Margaret from the Accounts dept fake an orgasm on the floor is really not my thing but if it's close friends and the host doesn't insist on 'audience participation' they can be fun

I've been to one. It was fun... got a bit wild, but not too wild lol. Fortunately, most of the ladies, I already knew! There were games played, which we were free to abstain from playing. And the only true demonstration was with the body sprays and things on that line. Everything else, if anything, was passed around and if we weren't interested in looking at it, we could just pass it along to the next guest. And, yes, the order time was one on one. And if the consultant had the items on hand, you got it that day. Otherwise, you got it later.

Just go and see for yourself instead of getting other opinions,that what we use to do in the old days.If you like it stay and have a good time and if you don't just say you have to go something came. Whatever you do don't sit there and judge others who are having a great time and maybe getting a bit wild.

Oh, I've decided to go. If it gets too funky, I can always bail early.

I wish I would be invited to one ! I think that would be terribly entertaining... I'd love it! Most of my friends are too conservative unfortunetely. It's something soooo different ! Who wants to talk about tupperware, or candles.... B O R I N G !

I've even told a few of my close GF's if they want me to book a party off of them, they'd have to have one of these kinds ! They just raise an eye brow to me.
