Cock-Tail Conversation: How PRIVATE PARTY came to be one of the best safe-sex parties in NYC

Highlight of the week: Private Party on Wednesday
Hello my fellow group-sex aficionados. As long-time readers of the blog know, NYC offers many sex party options but there are a handful that are generally considered among the best the city has to offer and one of those is a monthly party that is happening this Wednesday, Private Party. What makes Private Party stand apart from many of the others? Let me count the ways...1) Its one of the few safe-sex parties where guys really take the safe-sex part seriously. It is rare to see any bb-ing there and anyone who might be foolhardy enough to try it will likely not last the night.
2) It's a big party of usually around 80 to 100 guys so there are always plenty of men to chose from and to play with.
3) Its social with a friendly atmosphere, in fact it's so friendly that...
4) it's mostly a no-attitude-party. And that's somewhat surprising considering that...
5) it's quite selective with an extensive application process (a phone interview followed by a in-person in-the-nude interview) so only attractive, in-shape men with friendly attitudes are allowed in.
6) The lighting is quite good so you can actually see all the hot guys you are fucking around with, and speaking of fucking around...
7) guys actually have sex at this party. Lots of it. It's not a stand-and-pose affair like some others, and you often will see groups of guys getting tangled up in the most interesting and exciting variety of positions. (Given that there are only couches, chairs and a table to play around on, some creativity can be helpful.)
8) You can take a shower! That's something I haven't found at many sex parties and since I consider hygiene a rather fundamentally important part of attending sex parties, I find it to be a big plus.
So are those enough reasons for you to attend? If not, you are just too hard to please...when you should just be hard. (Smiley winking face implied here).
Please know that the crowd is mostly made up of twenty-something twinks and some muscle guys and the host is very much about attracting and maintaining a clean-cut, "professional" looking crowd so if you are into the rougher, scuffy-er uber-masculine types of guys, you won't find much of that here. But if you are into more of the All-American boy or fit business man look, this may well be your nirvana.
Also be aware that the in -person interview that will be scheduled with you immediately preceding your first party is done with you completely in the nude (in front of, in my case anyway, a group of three nude interviewers) and the last few parties themselves have also had a completely nude theme, so this party is for guys who are already comfortable in their own skin and may not be for the more modest or shy among you. Then again, I'm not sure why anyone modest or shy would be diving into group-sex but consider yourself forewarned nonetheless.
As for the more adventurous of you, send the host an email so you can get your interview in before the party. If you wait till the day of, you likely will not get in, so shoot him an email today and have fun!
Here's the information from our weekly listing:
See you there men!

PRIVATE PARTY: Wednesday night -- don't miss it!!
"Just a quick note to say that I went to private party last night for the first time, and had a GREAT experience. The phone/in-person interview might turn people off initially, but the result is a very relaxed, but also very fun party full of down to earth guys who know how to enjoy sex. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in group sex or expanding their sexual horizons."
If you wanna go here's the info...
PRIVATE PARTY (Garment District) Great social sex party w/a good mix of twinks to muscle dudes to toned average guys. This is a great party to try if you've never been to a party before: social, safe, and a clean atmosphere, no attitude. The best part is that there is tons of HOT sex at this party – not just standing around.

VIBE: Very social, not much attitude
TIME: 8pm-12am
CROWD: 70-90+ guys

Don't Miss PRIVATE PARTY, Wednesday night...
“Went there last night. Had a fantastic time. Lots of hot guys, great space, casual easy-going atmosphere. The host is super-friendly and with zero attitude. Even the guys (and there were a lot - maybe 80!) were approachable and social. Interview process was painless. Plus he provides complimentary refreshments. I've been to parties all over (London, Toronto, Chicago, Paris), this one ranks with the best of them. Thanks.”

REVIEW: Private Party (and BOXERS AND BRIEFS reminder!)
“Hey, I wanted to send a review of the Private Party: I admit I was intrigued and a little intimidated by the idea of the Private Party. Sex parties in New York either have require you to look like an Amberzombie or are a cum as you are free for all. After my first visit, I have to say, the procedure is well worth it. The phone interview is short and to the point, and the in person interview is quite pleasant, and it ensures the guys who get in are fun, confident and easy on the eyes. The set up where you begin with socializing and then get into sex actually works. As a newbie, I was approached by three different groups who introduced themselves and brought me into the conversation. Conversation moves to flirting and flirting to rubbing and tugging pretty quickly. By the time you are on your knees, the chemistry between everyone is pretty sizzling.
The men are a great mix from mid 20s to the fifties. Everyone was well maintained, a good sprinkling of scruff, muscle and big dicks. This was not a crowd of gym bunnies, but there was no one who looked bad naked :-). Mostly white guys, but there were Asians, Blacks, Latinos and Indians. Also, a surprising number of very hot European tourists. The party began with around 40-50 guys, and I think there were about 80 odd by the time the evening ended.
Also, the party does end by midnight, but this actually worked to an advantage, since everyone knew the party would wrap up in three hours, people get in on time and get down to business pretty quickly, instead of going through the whole looking bored and waiting for the perfect partner to arrive hours later. It's the only sex party, where I exchange numbers with several guys, making plans to meet up later. Beating grindr and almost every other sex party in New York. Would definitely recommend this."

Review: last night's PRIVATE PARTY
"Evan! Thanks for your continued reviews of all of the parties throughout the city, but especially for inspiring me to check out Private Party. This party really is a phenomenon in the way that people socialize and sexualize. I used to be a regular (and cohost) at some of the other "hot" parties, but this host does a great job of vetting good looking guys who are friendly, social and horny. It was my first time, so I had to come in earlier, show my full monty and any nerves that I had prior dissipated quickly. From there, I grab a drink and started mingling with some welcoming guys. Within minutes, I pounced on this beautiful, dark haired guy in white underwear with an enormous dick. Went over to a couch and the action began. Deep-throat a few cocks, got sandwiched between three, got fucked and fucked. Many guys, many cocks and many fucks later, time flew by. Not much attitude at all. Everyone's just sexing... a lot. I left very satisfied and wanted to echo your praise of this party.
Something fairly usual happened, too... I took home a handful of numbers to keep the sex going with some of these studs. Just another reason why this party is unique. I'm sold.
Thanks again for the recommendation. If there's any way I could help keep this group special, please let me know."
My kind of party! See you Sunday at BOXERS AND BRIEFS -- and at the next PRIVATE PARTY in November.

Review: PRIVATE PARTY's Wed Night Orgy
"Hey Evan, I'm a faithful fan of your blog. It always has the best parties and great reviews. I wanted to submit a review of Wednesday night's Private Party so here it is...I attended the Private Party just once about 3-4 years ago and I loved it, but never went back. Possibly because I had just begun going to sex parties and was still a bit scared of how social Richard's parties can be. Well, per Evan's advice, I signed back up with Richard for party entry and went through the whole interview process once again. The promoters are all a very friendly group and they want to foster a positive/non-creepy vibe for the parties. The interview was quick then the guys started to arrive. I scanned the place for my favorites. I counted about 7-8 guys I had to at least feel up lol. I'm picky, but not standoffish so I had fun with many other dudes too. The party took a while to get started since people were busy conversing and waiting for their alcohol buzz to kick in. Once that happened, it was great! I felt up, sucked or fondled all of the guys on my list except that Australian guy (I will get him next time!). The temp was high but not too sweaty. Alcohol flowed the whole time. Then I came on the back of this short slim sexy college kid. Thanks Richard for the great party! Looking forward to many more! :-)"
The party was very hot with non-stop fucking or sucking (at least for me). Interested in coming, well, you'll have to wait until August 3, for the next one. Apply now!!! Here's the info...PRIVATE PARTY (Garment District) Great social sex party in large private loft apt.

More PRIVATE PARTY reviews -- yes, it's that good!
Review #1
"Evan McCarthy,
I read your blog for the spot on revues of the gay sex party scene.
Moved to New York a few years ago, I am 28 with barely enough time for work and gymnasium.
The NYC sex parties are a fast ,easy way to get off.
Do not like many and agree with you on most but have been happy with James'Jocks for awhile...Hot guys,in/out ,over done- and back to work.
Read about Private Party many times but no time or interest in this screening and interviewing crap....I was, like my picture,ok,good,I will come.
Horny yesterday and called the guy who runs it and ask about the party. I expect to hang up but instead he made very interesting hearing about this party and why he makes them for many years. This guy really care about who comes and wants ,as he says to me, professional,hot, friendly and smart with still safe-sex and no drugs. I think,yeah,good luck but he is right.
Still thinking walk out right away.I went to interview before party. I had a blast with these guys. They know what they want at party and make sure that is who come.
Accepted. Then could not believe this crowd. Not all in perfect shape but many are. They talk,laugh and meet each other and have lots and lots of sex.
I learned lesson. Sex at Sex parties is much hotter with a smile and laugh among new friends. I came twice and did not want to leave.Bottom and Top in 2 hours for me.
I will go back any time i can....You know any other like this?
Going to first Black Party on Sat. Thank you."
Review #2"Evan, I’ve been to Private Party a number of times and I always have a great time, but whatever was in the air last night this month’s party was over the top hot. What makes this party so great is that the host is very selective and really controls who’s on the list. I’ve heard people complain that they have to be interviewed by phone, but the host knows what he’s looking for, and because of it, the party always has hot new guys. It’s very hot that the first 30 minutes are always very friendly and social with guys talking and meeting other guys before they get down to sex. Unlike the New York Jock Party, which guys just stand around ogling each other, guys at Private Party actually talk. It’s oddly very sexy. And then suddenly underwear starts to come off and it starts. Amazing. There are usually piles of guys fucking on the sofas, and rows of guys in the middle of the room on their knees sucking dick. I can’t tell you how many dicks I sucked last night, or how many guys fucked me (well, it was seven, but many multiple times). I got there early and when I finally came up for air, it was almost 11PM. And when you need a break, there’s always the kitchen to relax (unless guys start fucking in there, which they did last night). I also like that you can shower afterwards, and the host provides towels. I even fucked around in the shower on my way out. The guys are always very hot: there were a lot of muscle guys, jocks and twinks there last night, and plenty of tops. The host is a great guy and takes pains to make sure that every one has fun and that people practice safe sex. I’ve brought a number of friends now, who are now regulars."
The first review is so cute, I want to fuck him right now--English is clearly not his first language, but it's pretty obvious that he had a great time. The second review really spells it out -- hot guys/hot sex -- who can ask for anything more?As both guys wrote: this is a highly screened group, but DON'T LET THE INITIAL PROCESS STOP YOU! A number of guys get pissed off by having to be screened and interviewed. Dudes, it's easy: one quick phone call (where the host explains the party) and then an interview just minutes before the party begins). I know it sounds annoying--but don't let it bother you--it's all cool and makes for a great crowd. There's a reason this party gets hot new guys each month, and where everyone actually has hot sex. The next PRIVATE PARTY is WED, APRIL 6. Apply now, because it takes a day or two to be screened, and the host has no time the day of the party. To get start the process send pics, stats to: PRIVATE.PARTY@msn.com.

PRIVATE PARTY review
"Hit up this party last month, 75-80 guys from 20s to 40s. The action is terrific, and everyone mixes socially as well. That's what makes this party so comfortable and friendly. It's not a party to be late for and start time means something. Action cranks up within 30 minutes, but the door is open to members throughout the evening. (The host has been doing this for 14 years so has every right to be particular on several levels, great guys in great shape.) The process is easy and friendly. If you'll embrace the process, you will reap the reward of membership in this selective group. Already looking forward to next month."

If you're interested in checking it out, the next one is March 16. I say this every month, but just a warning: DON'T LET THE INITIAL PROCESS STOP YOU! A number of guys get pissed off by having to interview. It's easy: one quick phone call (where the host explains the party) and then an interview just before the party begins). Guys, I know it sounds annoying – and can be -- but don't let it bother you - it's all cool and makes for a great crowd. There's a reason this party gets hot new guys each month, and where everyone actually has hot sex.) Here are the details...
PRIVATE PARTY (Garment District) 8pm-12am. Held in large private loft apt. Great mix of twinks to muscle dudes to toned average guys, and a good mix of 20-30-40YOs (no one over 45, or under 21) -- 70-90 guys attend (last few parties had 85, 97 & 100+). This is a great party to try if you've never been to a party before -- very social, very safe, and a clean atmosphere, no attitude. The best part is that there is tons of HOT sex at this party – not just standing around. The host provides drinks, condoms and lube; and showers, towels.

Review of Sunday's PRIVATE PARTY
Here's a first-timers' rave about the party, and even the interview process. Check it out and see you on December 1. (And if you're not already on the list -- send the host an email now)...
"I was referred to your blogspot several months ago because I have always been curious about a gay group sex party. Although you had all the information that I needed I was very unsure about how to proceed. I am a handsome, worked-out,ivy-league educated attorney with no interest in rec drugs and only interested in safer sex.I was uncomfortable about sending pictures let alone an interview to join a group but I also thought that the "open" parties could not be what I would want. Last week I finally contacted the host of Private.Party,since you suggested this party is best for the uninitiated. I am not sure what I expected but I ended up with an amazing explanation of the gay-life history of this guy, which led to him creating these parties. After the why's, he explained the party and procedures in detail.We then talked a bit about me.I was happy that he repeatedly stressed safe-sex and drug free. He claimed that these parties were also very friendly and social with good looking career-oriented guys. He was open to all my questions which were ,I now admit, a bit snarky.That call was an interesting and pleasant experience. But I was still not sure that I was willing to "interview" and not convinced that this was exactly what he claimed it to be. But IT WAS! I went on Sunday night,admittedly with a chip on my shoulder about having to interview in person. I was greeted warmly at the door by the host and offered a drink and made to feel very comfortable before it was my turn. Moments later I am having a naked chat with 3 charming gentlemen ,who made me feel so at ease and sooo eager to be part of this group. The rest of the men interviewing seemed similar in age and stats to me but 2 were turned down for some reason. The venue is large but not huge, clean and nice and well-lit ,which was important to me.Refreshments were plentiful and all other needs in large supply.Members started to arrive at 8 and by 8:30 it seemed very active---I was a kid in a candy store . Everywhere around me were truly attractive guys talking , laughing, catching up and having more sex than I actually thought one could handle in a few hours. It was all so inclusive--I did not realize that you could have a large group of gay men in one room and not be overwhelmed with attitude and airs. The rest was a blur of more fun than I have had since college. I left with phone numbers, e mails and ,I think, a handful of new friends. I am sorry that there is a month gap between his events. So,chastised and educated ,I learned that if you submit to a screening and interview you will be part of a group that knows how to interact socially, sexually and safely. They did a great job. It seemed like everyone had all kinds of fun.
I noted the next few of these parties and will eagerly return on Dec. 1 .But now,Evan,am spoiled and all else will be downhill in the group sex circuit? I am going to try some others but I am not sure that I can handle more fun than I had last night. Thank you,Evan, for helping us all thru this daunting maze of groups and parties."

Anyway, guys are always asking me for other parties like this one -- there aren't any. PRIVATE PARTY is safe, clean, very social, and filled with HOT guys, who are into hot sex. Guys complain to me about the interview process, but without it the party would be like the others -- filled with the wrong guys. Here's the info on how to get into the next party on Wednesday, December 1...
