Sex Parties Are Back – Vaccines Are Optional
by Alaina Demopoulos – The Daily Beast
Welcome aboard the Cancun Boobs Cruise, an adults-only party where nudity is encouraged and topless women dance to club remixes. It’s not a sex party exactly, though some swingers do attend to meet like-minded couples. As the catamaran cuts through the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, people are ready to forget about the pandemic for a few hours. Guests aren’t required to wear masks (but staff do), which makes it easy to relax and unwind. But then, one moment brings everyone back to reality: the daily clap for essential workers who are vacationing on board. Consider it the X-rated version of New York City’s famous 7 p.m. applause.
“We do a thing where our emcee has people do a little cheer for those working on the frontlines—doctors, nurses, police, things like that,” Steve Wright, the company’s owner, told The Daily Beast. “They’ve been doing their jobs and want a stress release.”
The cruise runs every Monday and Friday. Though it resumed operation after a lockdown lifted last June, interest has skyrocketed in the past month, Wright said. Tickets have sold out for two weeks straight. “I’ve noticed a huge groundswell of returning confidence,” Wright said. He’s had to turn away “30 to 40 people” for certain dates.
