Frequently Asked Questions for Hot Take: Intimacy & Pleasure Parties with Sex Therapists

Question 1

What does a Hot Take Party involve?

Accepted Answer

A Hot Take Party is a fun, interactive event/party designed to explore intimacy, communication, and connection in a safe and engaging environment. We get the party started with some ice breakers, games, guided discussions, and hands-on activities tailored to your group’s needs and interests. Each party is facilitated by a professional 'Sexpert' who ensures that everyone feels comfortable and included.

Each party includes a mix of educational content, playful activities, and open discussions around the theme (Tasting) of your choice, whether it's dirty talk, flirting, reigniting the spark, or another topic. You can also expect hands-on explanations of various toys and tools. Our aim is to create an experience that’s both informative and fun!

Question 2

What is a Tasting?

Accepted Answer

In the context of Hot Take* a tasting is an immersive and playful theme/topic of the party. A Tasting is designed to give participants a small, sample-sized experience of various topics related to intimacy, pleasure, and relationships. Much like a wine or food tasting, participants get to explore a variety of ideas and practices, but in a low-pressure, interactive setting.

Each tasting is focused on a specific theme—whether it's dirty talk, solo pleasure, or reigniting the spark—and involves guided activities, discussions, and hands-on exploration. We introduce concepts, offer tools, and create opportunities for participants to experiment with techniques, ask questions, and reflect on their own desires. The goal is to provide a fun, safe, and informative space where people can "taste" different aspects of intimacy without feeling overwhelmed or judged.

A tasting might include exercises, demonstrations, journaling, partner activities, or playful & interactive games, all designed to help participants take home new insights and practical knowledge. It's an approachable way to dip your toes into topics you might be curious about, without diving too deep all at once!
