Geneviève LeJeune has the form of unapologetically posh British dialect that demand respect and makes even the vaguest description of a piece of fruit sound unbelievably red-hot . The selling executive grow up as a British colonial in Hong Kong , and verbalise French , Spanish , and Italian . Oh , AND she foundedSkirt Club– an exclusive sex golf-club for woman .
There ’s more to Skirt Club than sexual activity , especially since sex isn’ttechnicallyallowed at these parties . LeJeune has done something different with involvement by incorporating food and teaching ( along with nudity , of course ) into her parties . We chatted with Geneviève via Skype , and she dish out some enticing item about the women - only ball club she started out of curio and cattiness .
So, why’d you start Skirt Club?
So , two and a half age ago I start the night club in London . Really , it was just this want of understanding of female sexual needs , and also society not accredit that women like to have sex , too . There ’s this whole “ gentleman’s gentleman eclipse the bedroom ” scenery and I was very much crazy and tired of it .
I went to a lot of parties – not many – but , again , you could tell they were run by men . They ’d always have the waterproof mattress in the corner , or the icky cocktail with no ice and no garnish and no straw . All the matter that women love were not there . It was such a ignominy that women never get to have their needs provide to properly .
It came from my own inwardness to evolve something for me , which turned out to be something everyone else have sex , too .

So, I have to assume your cocktails are better than the competition
Absolutely . One of my business partners is a mixologist , and we really make our own cocktails for every event and name them according to the theme of that party .
To be clear, men aren’t invited?
Men are n’t invited . In fact , they ’re banned entirely . We have make a safe place for cleaning woman to explore as and how they wish to . We facilitate one night of consensual experimentation – no questions and for certain no pressure . cleaning lady are encouraged to mean and feel for themselves , which make for a sensory faculty of empowerment , and confidence exudes not only in the bedroom but all the way to the council chamber .
What kind of themes are there?
The one come up next in New York is a umber company , because it ’s Easter weekend . It ’s not the Playboy bunny , because that ’s a masculine bowel movement . We ’re doing chocolate as an aphrodisiac . chocolate is an aphrodisiac , alongside bananas , oyster , some other things … matcha pulverization . We have a nutritionist come up talk about how that all works . How it feign your learning ability and makes you feel .
After we have that lecture , we have a burlesque public presentation . We also have a corset couture party in which women learn about corsets in the priggish age . We ’ll have someone come in who design and stitch girdle who ’ll teach you about the beautiful bod you’re able to get from it . Then Victorian - earned run average cocktail .
There ’s another theme I ’m dying to do , that I ’m not certain America would like , call “ Dark Days of Decadence . ” It ’s about the years between the two World Wars in Berlin . This era was really special . It was a time when Hitler was taking up his motion and there were a fortune of offend soldiers and amputees .

multitude were in a very dark space , so they were taking a circumstances of drug and having a caboodle of random sex . No one gave a shit anymore . It actually grew into the whole gay scene in Berlin . One of my favourite fit , but I could go on …
So, this is more of a sex and culture club
Well , I ’m British , so there ’s plenty of culture . I understand that Skirt Club is touted as a sexual practice nine , but the reality is , you ca n’t have sexual practice at my party . However , that ’s not the direction … it ’s about char and having sexual urge in their own means . allow ’s define sexual activity for a moment : for you , that ’s in all probability intercourse … for me , it ’s conversation and how it agitate me up inside , the way someone look at me and arrive at me experience . That can sometimes be more cozy than intercourse .
It’s like… brain sex.
We call it “ sassy sexuality . ”
And the women who attend… how do they identify themselves?
We involve womanhood to rate their sexuality accord to the Kinsey Scale – zero to six . Over 60 % of our members are a two or three valuation .
What does a typical night look like?
You would believably get in feeling shit - frightened , because you ’re amount as a peeress on your own , to a company where you do n’t know anyone at a unknown ’s home . That ’s very daunting . Women are not used to doing the chatting up , they ’re used to being chatter up .
It ’s a very scary thing to do . We have a lot of no - shows , who I mistrust depart as before long as they get to the front door . So , when you come , you ’re always greet by me ; I always do the door , because everyone roll in the hay my name and they feel instantly relaxed . I ’ve always speak to them on email first and I ’m normally the only soul they fuck .
So , I say hi , I take their coats , I let them know what ’s going to happen next , and I tell them there ’s Champagne waiting for them upstairs . They ’re led up the step , leave French Champagne , then they ’re introduce to the unexampled extremity . All young members have a vintage key tied around their wrists . Then they ’re taken through , I give a speech , then we do a unforesightful talking – only for 15 minute , because people get bore – then we go into the burlesque performance .

It ’s very sexy , very sultry , and it ends with her being all raw . The art of undress can be very sexy . Especially those niggling pasties they wear . Then , after that , it ’s passably much a detached - for - all .
To encourage the free - for - all , I play a game called “ Body Tequila . ” We take a volunteer , bare her down to her lingerie , she will lie down on a table , and the volunteers trace her leg with salt all the way up to her lip . I stick a grinder of lime in her back talk , and shout “ one , two , three , go ! ” The girls work all the fashion up , and the victor is whoever takes the stab of tequila first .
What else happens there?
Oh , we play spin the bottle in different rooms , that usually is enough until they all manage to pair off and jump into a bed with five others or a bathing tub with 10 others . Then , three o’clock strikes and they all have to go home . Then , of class , the next day is all the lost property . My God , I have wardrobes full of dresses , shoe , knickers , bandeau , gallus , corsets , hat , and I put it all on Instagram .
The majority do n’t come back to claim them .
For the brave that come , it will liberate you and it ’ll give you that confidence you ca n’t get anywhere else . It ’ll work you and you wo n’t take jack from anyone ever again .
What kind of women come to these events?
They ’re all career cleaning woman , formally senesce 21 to 49 – but the majority are between 25 and 35 . And the absolute majority have a boyfriend .
Is that the age where women are most curious?
Yeah , I find like they ’re either enervate in their relationship and they need to spice up it up or they just feel world-weary and need to test something completely new .
