Fantasy Parties

Contributor: Maiden Maiden
Has anyone ever been to these "Fantasy" parties? You know, the type that are like the Tupperware parties of old, but with sex toys and products? I have been to many and in fact, bought my first few sex toys from them. They are genrally held at a friend's home, where a presenter comes and shows products and has demonstrations.

They can be quite fun, if you have a good presenter and a good Hostess. My friends generally have cakes in the shapes of penis's and lots of naughty party favors. A few naughty games are played and then the presenter shows lots of toys and balms, etc. These toys are usually very cheaply made and horribly over priced. They never talk about lube compatibility or material safety. Also, they are usually catered to women. Honestly, they prey on the beginners who are shy and don't know anything about sex toys. I was one of them!

The first vibe I bought was a pink jelly vibe that cost almost $30. The next was a "fairy", also made of jelly, with rotating steel ball bearings and a rotating head. It had a fairy designed to stimulate your clit with a bullet inside. I spent $65 dollars on it! It broke after just a few uses. I was thoroughly disappointed. Not to mention the nasty bacterial infections I got. I even had a friend who spent around $100 bucks on a jelly vibe and have it "melt" because she just threw it in her drawer with all of her other jelly toys.

These experiences turned me off of sex toys for YEARS! It's really horrible. My friends have about a dozen of these a year, and I have had to stop going. The parties were fun, but it made me cringe when the presenters were so misinforming, knowing my friends would end up wasting money on the toys, despite my warnings.

After writing my review for the Harmonia recently, I started to think about how great it would have bee to have access to EF back then. I would have saved tons of time and money, not to mention the products I would have gotten would have been of better quality, because I could have read reviews and compared different materials and products. My point is, and there is one, I promise...

How would you feel about being able to host a party like this, but with EF products? Do you think it feasible for EF to have a program like this, to host parties to educate people and also to sell their products?

I would love to be able to have a coed party and talk about various products for men and women, material safety, lube compatibility, cleaning and storing of toys, and break down some of the stereo types that people have about sex toys, particularly for men. I'm thinking that if EF could get into this business, they would make a tons of money. It works almost like "Avon" reps. The presenters make a little profit, or at least get sex toys for free, and the Host of the party gets a free gift or a discount, depending on how much is sold at the party. I would love to do this, and have been thinking about having one anyway, just with the toys I have on hand. I plan on showing them EF, telling them about my experiences here, and going over all types of toys. I could even help them order the stuff they want, or at least show them how to do it by them selves, if they feel shy about it. I think it would be a great way to show my friends that they can get much better toys online than at these fantasy parties. I will also be educating them in safety, cleaning, storage, different materials, and different lubes.

We (in the office) have been discussing parties for quite a while now - it's a project that is on the back burner at the moment but will eventually come to fruition. Here's the thing - we don't want to just do it the way everyone else has or is doing it. We have some plans for making it a really special program, and will definitely be looking to the community as it shapes up more in the future. Just give us a few more months

Thanks for the update, Victoria

I'm sorry. The forum is so HUGE, I did skim through various sections to see if there was already a thread, but didn't see it. I also messaged Gary a few days ago, asking about it, and letting him know I was going to start a thread about it. I realize he is a busy man, so when I didn't get a reply, I thought I would just go ahead and post a thread. You'll have to bear with me, I'm still new to this site.

I read the post and I'm really excited! I can't wait to host an EF party! My friends will be excited too, and I'm sure will be ready to buy a bunch of stuff. I've already been talking about the awesomeness of EF to any one who will listen!
This is really great!

Idea: Invitations based on couples or non-threatening singles. Gender based parties are bad business and exclusionary (the opposite of EF).

I agree with this. That being said, it may be have to be determined based on the individual party. If someone wants to throw an all female or male party, then that should be fine. The presenter should cater to the Host/Hostess's wishes, and decide what products would best fit that group. As for the crowd I associate with, it would generally be couples and singles of both genders. I have lots of gay friends that are couples, and it would be interesting to show them the types of toys that would work with two females or two males, to make their love making just as safe and pleasurable as the male/female couples. Also, my friends vary in age from about early twenties to late fifties. So, I would be throwing parties where every thing EF sells would be potentially appropriate for someone in the group. Also, I think it would be a great idea to have the guests RSVP, as anonymously as possible, with any specific types of products that they are interested in, or questions they may have, with assurance that it would be addressed to the group and not the idividual. I was also thinking that you could do an anonymous question box, where you could answer specific question at the end of the party or suggest certain toys/products for specific results, stimulation, or "sex problems".

I have soooo many ideas, I could talk about this forever!

I'm already thinking of potential "assistants" that could do these parties with me... model some of the lingerie, show how the sex slings work, balls gags, how to properly spank someone with out immediately hurting or bruising them, etc.

Also, I was at a party once, where guests were given the chance to get into the sling, or get the massage candle poured on them, or go to the bathroom and try a sample of Rocket Balm or Flower Balm. It was fun to watch my friends squirming in their seats, and some even blushing, after having applied some of this stuff to their "private" parts. Especially the guys... guys can be so silly and theatrical!
I am truly getting excited! I have stopped going to these parties because of the horrible products and such, but they were always great fun. It would be interesting to see how much fun my friends and I would have, now that we are older and more comfortable about our bodies and sex in general. It would also be fun, to guide the beginners in our group along their personal sexual and intimate journeys. The prospect of educating my friends on the safety of toys is really exciting too. It is much needed, especially in this day and age where we know so much more about he potential risks involved from certain materials.
I'm also looking forward to introducing silicone to every one. So many toys are made of jelly or some equally unsafe form of it. Most of my friends don't even know what silicone looks or feels like, unless they have been to my home to see my toys.

I think that's a great idea!! I would love to have a party like that! I would be interested in selling if my school work wasn't so demanding.

Glad to hear you are looking for a unique perspective on home parties. Many of my friends have not had overall good experiences from home parties but the parties did get them interested in toys.
Nothing beats seeing and touching the product. When my b/f travels to Seattle, a must stop is usually Babeland to scope out the newest toys. But we usually buy from EF. Home parties can make more people toy knowledgeable overall.
