9 NAUGHTY RESOURCES WHO KEEP THE LIFESTYLE ALIVE
Some consider it an industry, a community or a whole world of its own, no matter how you view the lifestyle, it’s so much more than just swapping partners or exhibiting your sexual interests in front of people you barely know. Behind it all, there’s a huge crowd of sexy, hard-working people at play: sexologists, authors, educators, travel experts, event planners, club owners and tons of others who aim to shine a useful and positive light on the sex-positive, open-relationship lifestyle. If there is one thing 2020 has taught us, it’s that there is strength in the numbers. During this time, we have had to adjust to many new ways and mindsets, and it’s been the key players in the lifestyle who have walked with us through these unprecedented times, who gave us hope, who helped keep us connected with our audience and who taught us new things about our sex lives despite a pandemic.
Virtual Swing Party
When the pandemic hit, we had to reevaluate how and when we were going to hold our events like Naughty N’awlins. We postponed the original July dates, then moved them to August and finally settled for November 2020. In the meantime, we decided to meet up with our lifestyle friends virtually.
Virtual Swing Party provided us a safe virtual space where we could video chat with our fellow Naughty Members (and meet new ones as well), and behave as Naughty as we want. We could be naked, pleasuring ourselves or our partners, without ever having to worry about getting kicked off or suspended the way we would have if we used Zoom or other conventional video meeting platforms, that discriminate against any sexual activity or nudity.
In place of our original Naughty N’awlins dates in July, we held our first Virtual Naughty instead and it was a hit! We had live entertainment, educators giving spicy advice, sexy games and activities, provided a virtual playroom and dungeon where and of course, Naughty people enjoying their sexual nature right there live on camera. Working with Virtual Swing Party has given us an opportunity to stay relevant during a time where our parties would otherwise be seen as “dangerous,” it’s allowed people from all over the world to connect and given us a place online where we can freely express ourselves without being reprimanded or censored for just being Naughty. Check out this page to see our upcoming virtual events and join in on the uncensored, virtual fun!
Marla Renee Stewart from Velvet Lips & Sex Down South Conference
Sexologist, author, speaker, educator and we’re gonna throw in, sex-life saver! Marla Renee Stewart is a well-seasoned academic that embraces the power of sexual energy. She has studied and researched sexuality in a variety of domains and inspires people to be the best that they can be while embracing their sexual energy. Marla came on as a guest speaker on one of our virtual events and taught us sexy, new tricks on flirting and seduction, as well as how to immediately make things a little sexier around the house by using what she calls “pervertables.”
During these unprecedented times of the pandemic she hasn’t stopped working for one moment; she converted the conference she co-founded, Sex Down South, into a complete virtual event. She hosts podcasts covering everything from kink to mastering the art of dirty talk, to important issues concerning race and sexual orientation on the sex-positive education venue Velvet Lips, while still managing to make time for appearances at other virtual events and contribute to important causes. Marla has kept a pulse on the sex-positive industry during a time where skin-to-skin contact could be considered risky or scary for some. She’s helped so many come into their own sexual nature and we know she will continue leading the pack for years to come. Read the book she co-wrote, “The Ultimate Guide to Seduction and Foreplay” and learn about Marla here.
