If you’re looking for a safe space to celebrate your sexuality, Skirt Club parties are just what you need.

Genevieve LeJeune, 35, founded Skirt Club in 2014 and describes it as “an underground community for girls who play with girls.” Every event is strictly member’s only and because of this, plenty of outsiders are curious about what actually happens at the parties.

So ENTITY sat down with Genevieve to get you the scoop. Here’s what we found out.

1 It’s a NO BOY’S ALLOWED type of party.

Before creating Skirt Club, the play parties Genevieve had  been to were dominated by men. She attended with her ex-boyfriend, but it didn’t matter if she was there with him. Other men simply acted like they had a right to her body. “I’d  be holding my ex-boyfriend’s hand and I’d still get slapped on the ass,” Genevieve said.

And on top of that, many women at these play parties weren’t “taking charge of how they want to have sex. They simply felt obliged to do it and that had to stop.”

So by taking men out of the equation, women could stop focusing on trying to please their boyfriends. Instead, they could focus on pleasing themselves.

2 It’s not just about the sex.

However, even though Skirt Club is about exploring sexuality, it’s not just about having sex. Sex comes last at these events, Genevieve explained. In fact, attendees don’t even have to have sex if they’re not comfortable.

For the most part, Skirt Club is really a place of intimate and intellectual interactions. Many of the members are lawyers or businesswomen and they’re all intrigued by one another’s personal stories and desires.

3 There are three different types of events.

According to Genevieve, there is Skirt Club, Mini Skirt and Sapience.

Skirt Club is the signature play party for those curious about their sexuality. It’s held in a private venue with free-flowing champagne, burlesque performances, games “and wherever the night may take you.”

Mini Skirt, on the other hand, is a cocktail soirée to meet other members. And because it’s held in a public space, no sex is allowed. However, there are still performances and drinks available.

Sapience is another type of experience. It’s a workshop for members who seek knowledge. They teach you about various things, from role playing to learning how to spank properly. “Women have an insatiable appetite for knowledge,” Genevieve told ENTITY. “So having a workshop makes complete sense. And yes, they’re turned on by the end without having even touched each other.”

4 It’s all about female empowerment.

Because Skirt Club is an environment free from any pressure and expectations, women are left to do as they please. And for Genevieve and many other women like her, they experience a confidence  boost in all aspects of their lives.

Not only that, but some of them have even experienced some form of healing at Skirt Club. According to Genevieve, some people have opened up to her about their experiences with sexual trauma. “I’m very close to a couple of people who have been through that. Skirt Club is a soft, no pressure way of getting back into feeling sexual,” she shared. “This is not therapy and we’re not claiming it to be, but I think it’s a way to learn how to get control back in a sexual environment. It’s a way that gives you courage to go forward and hopefully have a healthy sexual relationship with somebody.”

And because of such an open and safe environment, Genevieve often receives many well-deserved emails that say: “Thanks, I get to be me.”
