Review - Naughty In Nawlins and Colette (FLASHBACK) - July 2017

The Mrs. and I were trying to figure out what sexy trip we were going to take in 2017.  We try to schedule one per year.  It's our treat to ourselves for being so awesome.  We seriously considered Desire Riviera Maya, but thought "what if it sucks".  We would have paid all of that money and ended up pissed. We wanted to return "home" to Hedo because we had so much fun each time we've gone.  Instead, we opted to stay in the US and check out Naughty in Nawlins, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

For those that don't know, Naughty in Nawlins bills itself as the world's largest lifestyle convention. The event takes over one of New Orleans' largest hotels, right on Bourbon Street, with more rooms booked in a nearby overflow hotel.  They have over 1000 couples that attend this event!  If you can't meet a match at NIN, you aren't looking!

We booked our room for 2017 fairly early, so we were able to get a spot at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel, which was the host hotel this year.  NIN used to be held in fall, around November, some time, but the last few years it's been in July.  If you have ever been to New Orleans in July, you know it's hot.  It's beyond hot, it's HOT and very HUMID!  Once you wrap your head around the fact that it's going to be dumb hot and humid, it's fine.

There are several lifestyle dating sites that promote the event, the largest probably being Kasidie.  As well as SLS and others.  Plus, vanilla sites like Facebook and such.  So there is heavy advertising for this annual event, on all fronts.  Well-advertised. Well-attended. Sexy lifestyle couples. Awesome city. What more could you ask for?

Let's get to it! We arrive in the Crescent City after 3PM, which is a great time for us: we didn't have to get up dumb early and we would arrive late enough that our room should be ready at check in. Which would be good because we already had plans for the afternoon.  The check-in process was super easy and efficient.  As soon as we walked into the hotel we were greeted and shown the registration room.  That's where we met the NIN staff that told us about the events going on that day, gave us a swag bag full of free goodies, information and discount coupons for various conference-related things.  As well as, the conference itinerary for the next several days and our lanyards that would allow us entry to not only the various NIN-sponsored parties on Bourbon Street, but also allow us entry into the hotel!  It was not a game.  Leave your lanyard in your hotel room at your own risk!  Security staff was A1.  Always on point and official, but friendly as well.  Also in the registration room, there were a few vendors selling things like sex toys, natural lubricants and condoms and other adult things, like infused "adult treats".  Not sure why, but the sales lady came up to me while the Mrs. was checking in and asked if I would be interested in purchasing some "adult treats".  Indeed I was.  When the Mrs. was done, I told her what I purchased and introduced her to my new best friend!  It didn't hurt that she was a gorgeous dark-skinned woman with long braided hair up in a ponytail. She was was hot!  There was also a lady that sold these medical grade sponges.  Her table billboard said something like "Got Your Period? We Can Help".  After registration, we checked in with the hotel, which was a breeze.  Although we were a bit nervous because the line was at least 20-25 people deep.

After we unpacked, we ran into friends of ours, Mr. and Mrs. Jones from the "We Gotta Thing" podcast, in the elevator.  They were on their way to host their meet and greet, which we were also attending.  We took care of some business at the hotel and headed to the House of Blues for the M&G.  The M&G was on the patio area of the restaurant and it was very well attended.  We met a couple of couples. One was a couple local to us.  The other couple was from Kentucky.  The local couple didn't have too much rap for us.  Maybe it was just too hot to make small, lifestyle talk with us or maybe they weren't into us.  SIDEBAR: one thing about us is we aren't in the lifestyle to fuck everyone we can fuck.  We actually are in it to meet quality people and have great, sexy conversation where we all can be our true selves.  If playtime happens, then that's the icing on the cake. So with that being said, we spent most of the time there talking with the Kentucky couple.  We all shared stories and information and we asked about the lifestyle scene in Kentucky...shocker, there isn't any. It was a good time.

After the M&G, we headed back to our room to get ready for the evening's events, the Celebration of Non-Monogomy parade down Bourbon Street and right after, the all-white welcome party in the ballroom.  On the way up to our room, we decided to take a quick tour of the playrooms. They were giving tours before the rooms opened up for the evening. It was pretty amazing. The playrooms were all on one floor where they transformed several meeting rooms into these awesome playrooms. There was an S&M dungeon room, a romantic room with sheer drapes hanging on the beds, a pitch black room (that was literally PITCH BLACK), a small group room with about 8 beds, a room with about 6 or 7 single black males for the ladies interested in BBC and then there was this HUGE group room with about 50 or more mattresses! It was massive. We were very excited to check it out!  The one thing that we liked about the event is that no street clothes were allowed on the floor with all of the playrooms. You were required to wear a robe or a towel.  The staff supplied you with bags for your clothes and belongings and towels if you came in your street clothes.  Once disrobed, you were free to roam the play areas and look for the sexy scene that best suited you and your partner!

We got ready for the event, All White and the Sexual Freedom Parade down Bourbon Street.  Well there was some confusion and about the first three or four blocks of Bourbon was closed due to construction.  Long story short, we missed that shit.  Oh well.  Later that night we attended the All White party at the hotel.  It was a great time.  We decided to check out the playrooms to see what was going on.  It was crowded, but not too bad. We opted for the more romantic playroom for our first night there. We fucked for a bit and then went to back to our room, it was kind of a long day.

The next day we did a little day time sightseeing for the obligatory Facebook posts.  It was pretty steamy out, but nice.  And steamy is kinda what you expect in N.O., in July.  It was hot out, so when we got back to the hotel, we went to go check out the rooftop hotel pool. One thing we can tell you is, they do some AMAZING things with photography.  That hotel pool is a lot smaller in-person than it looks in the photos!  It was a nice sized crowd at the pool.  It was clothing optional of course, and most of the people were nude or topless.  We stayed for a bit and made casual conversation "Where are you from?", "Is this your fist time at Naughty in Nawlins?", "How long have you been in the lifestyle?".  Those kinds of things.  It started to rain, so we headed back to the room for a quick "session" and figure out the plan for the evening.

Although there were plenty of parties hosted during the day, along with some really interesting and informative seminars, the fun was at night!  With your package, each attendee received free and discounted admission to Colette, the lifestyle club a few block away from the host hotel. We planned on visiting the club a couple of times while we were there.  The first night was free for all NIN attendees.  We decided to share an Uber with some friends we just met.  Although the club was only a couple of blocks away, it was better to ride, for the ladies and their heels and for the gent's peace of mind.  Our driver passed the club twice, because it's so nondescript.  By our third time around, there was a slight line, which was fine. It was pretty efficient with the registration and all.  The inside was PACKED!  It was like our home club on NYE and  Halloween!  We didn't even bother to check in our bottles at the bar, but it took over 30 minutes just to get ice. The bartenders were clearly overwhelmed and started to get a little rude, unfortunately.  You don't have to be in the lifestyle to work at a lifestyle venue, we get that, but you should at least be friendly.  We can get rude service at any TGI Fridays around the globe, but I guess we expected more from this kind of venue. We get ice, have some drinks and then decide to tour the club.  Usually when we go to a new town and a new club, we try to arrive early enough to get a tour and get a feel for the place.  Plus, it's always nice to see people as they come in so you can put them on your radar.  That wasn't happening tonight!  This place was way too packed to even think about touring.  As we walked around, we ran into Mr. and Mrs. Jones again and chatted and danced with them for a bit and continued our tour upstairs where the playrooms are located.

The club looks like it's in a converted rowhouse.  So it's not very wide, but super deep.  Upstairs you will find a library room-styled playroom.  This playroom is very similar to a library/study that you would find in an old mansion.  It came complete with books and artwork and the requisite leather couches.  There were a ton of couples scattered about and making out.  The scene was very reminiscent of a teen party where the parents are out of town to their kid invites his girlfriend and a bunch of other high school couples over to play spin the bottle.  There was nothing sexy about this scene for either of us.  Off of the library, there was a theater room with couches and chairs and porn playing on the screen.  I guess in keeping with the high school theme, old school porn was being shown on the screen. I guess that teen also raided his dad's VCR porn collection too!  There was one guy getting a blowjob in there, but mostly there were couples in there making out and watching.

Down the main hallway there were a couple of nooks with couches where couples could take a break to get to know each other a little better before playing. Those spots were a nice touch.  Additionally, there were a few play areas that used curtains for privacy and one or two rooms with actual doors.  Just beyond those rooms, there was this rather large room with a round bed. Inside, there were mirrored walls that went around half of the room. It was sexy.  Especially given the fact that the mirrors inside were windows outside.  So everyone outside of the room could see inside.  Another nice touch.  Then there was a small group room with about 2 or 3 beds close together with a couple of Liberator-like chairs around the room.

For the most part Colette is a nice club. It was just really crowded that night and that took away a lot of the fun for us. We did play a little in the "fishbowl" room, the Mrs. gave me a nice blowjob. We also checked out small group room. Which was going well, until some creepy old dude asked the couple next to us if he could get them a towel!!  Wait, who are you here with, sir?!?  After that, we decided to try our hand in another room.  The Mrs. had to use the restroom, so I hung out near the fishbowl making casual conversation.  She was in there for awhile, but the club was packed, so it made sense that she had to wait a little.  When she comes out she is all panicky looking and said that we needed to go.  There was a sense of urgency in her voice.  I was like "OK. But what's going on?!" She said that there were some "sketchy bitches" in there and we just needed to go.  Turns out the Mrs. ate too much "adult cookie" and she was trippin'...HARD!  We exited the club and found our way back to the hotel on foot, she needed the fresh air.  It turns out the "sketchy bitches" were just "smelly bitches" asking for "spray". We could only assume they were looking for spray to freshen up their pussy.  Not sure why she was looking for spray, when you could have just washed it in one of the showers....

We returned to the hotel and went to check out the playrooms.  We actually ended up on a corner bed of the Grand Playroom (that's what I'm calling it), with the 50-plus mattresses.  We had a really nice session.  Since the Mrs. was still feeling her cookie, she was able to have three orgasms.  It was quite a sexy time.  So much so, that as we were leaving, we were complimented on our fucking by two older couples that were watching us nearby.  They have been around for awhile, so they know some good fucking when they see it!

Since this is an actual convention, Naughty in Nawlins actually hosts a number of conferences during the day. There were a few that we were interested in, but either they were scheduled a little too early in the day for us or they conflicted with another event we wanted to attend. That's the thing, with so much going on, it's really hard to "do it all".  We worked hard to attend the one we wanted really were looking forward to: Diversity in the Lifestyle.  It was quite informative and although we, as an interracial couple in the lifestyle already knew, it was good to have the confirmation that the lifestyle is different for non-whites in the lifestyle.  Not that it is bad, but it's just different. The clubs operate differently when they are trying to attract a more "urban" crowd.  The events are marketed and promoted differently.  As well as the actual play situations/scenarios.  At some point, we hope to expand on our experiences.  In addition to help bridge that divide.  Anyway, so that seminar was good and pretty well-attended.

In addition to the seminars, the event also hosts complete bar takeovers.  They have several over the course of the day, many of them at competing times.  So you have to choose wisely.  The good news is they are for NIN attendees only and are all free.  So if you make a bad choice and end up at a lame event, you can always go check out the other event!  No problem! Out of all of the takeovers we attended, two stick out most to us: the one at Bourbon Cowboy and the one at Razoo Bar.

The Bourbon Cowboy is a classic Western-themed dive bar.  Complete with country music hits and a machanical bull.  We aren't the least interested in country music...at all.  However, they had really great drink prices and it seemed like it would be a good social time.  That was evident within the first 45 minutes or so of being there that there was a woman being eaten out on top of the bar! Oh yeah, this is gonna be a party!  There was a contest for whoever rode the mechanical bull the longest, they would win a trip to Desire.  Pretty good deal...but there was a catch: you had to ride the bull naked.  There were a few female contestants that decided to give the bull a ride, but none of the ladies would get naked.  A couple of them did ride topless.  Well, after about 3 drinks (all doubles, so really 6 drinks), the Mrs. said that she was gonna do it.  I didn't believe her until she came out of the ladies room and handed me her bag and went in the riding pin and took off her clothes to reveal her completely naked body!  Her panties and bra were stuffed in her purse.  They cleaned off the bull with spray and paper towels and she hopped on and gave the thumbs up when she was ready to ride.  She held on tight with her hands and her thighs, gripping the bull as she gyrated back and forth and up and down mimicking the bull's every motion. She held on for over 90 seconds, which she said felt like an eternity.  She dismounted (she was thrown off) to the cheers and applauds of the spectating crowd.  I was so proud of her.  She dressed and we hung around to watch many others now have the newfound courage to ride.  The winner was decided by crowd applause and there were some sexy riders, that's for damn sure, but none were naked.  It's a Naked Bull Riding Contest.  It's in the title!  It's like having a Naked Bull Riding Contest and not having a bull! Anyway, she did not win the contest, but we were given discounts to stay at Desire. That we will use and of course blog about.

Our other favorite event was the Ms. No Swimsuit Contest at Razoo Bar.  The contest is one of several Ms. No Swimsuit Contests at various lifestyle events and locations sponsored by Tom's Trips.  The lucky winner wins a trip to Hedonism II to compete against the ladies that won at the other events.  This is the highlight event that's held on the last full day of the convention.  This being our first time, we had no idea and actually lucked up and were able to get in early and get two of the best seats in the house and that house got PACKED!!  The events are supposed to be for NIN attendees only, but that place was so crowded that there had to be a bunch of vanillas there that must have come because they heard about the naked ladies dancing.  It was a great show.  Some of the contestants were really good and some clearly were not amateurs.  We stayed until the winner was announces and it was a fantastic time.  Afterwards, we were lucky enough to hear a real New Orleans brass band out on Bourbon Street. They were amazing!  We can't say enough about all of the events that NIN hosted, both day time and evening events.

One of the evening events was a burlesque show at this pretty swanky hotel about a block or two away.  The Mrs. wanted to do a little photo shoot there, so we took in the show and took some sexy pics of her in the hotel lobby.  Afterwards, we headed back to the hotel and danced in the ballroom to the DJ that was spinning. It was getting a little warm, so we headed out to the pool to get some air and took a couple of seats and people talked and laughed and hung out in the pool.  While there, we met a woman with a super complicated story, the short version is she was a unicorn that night!  So we talked with her for awhile getting to know her and exchanged stories. After some time, we all decided to head into the hotel to check out the rooms.  She certainly gave me the vibe that she was interested, but she didn't look like she was the Mrs' type of girl to play with.  So I kind of put that thought out of my head.  We walked around and looked at the rooms together and she stopped by the BBC Room and was talking with one of the guys for a bit.  See? I knew it!  She liked her some brothers! Too bad the Mrs. wasn't feeling her!  Damn it! Well, we let them talk and we walk away and the Mrs. was a little upset that we didn't make a move on her!  What?! I was just as shocked as you are now!  I told her that I didn't think she was feeling her, so I thought it was a no-go. She agreed that the unicorn wasn't on the top of her list, but she could tell that the unicorn was into me and she would have enjoyed watching us play. Well now you tell me!  So we walk to one of the vendor rooms and our gorgeous, dark-skinned friend was there working.  Now we BOTH were into her.  So the Mrs. breaks out her strong pimp-game and is working on the lady.  Like, putting in some serious work.  I got hard just watching her.  At this point, the unicorn comes and finds us and she can tell "business" is being discussed, so she leaves.  No deal would be sealed that night, but the Mrs. thoroughly impressed me.  We say "fuck it" and head back to the pool, maybe we will run into the unicorn again.  We go and it's packed.  There is only one seat to be had, so I let the Mrs. take it.  Well this brunette says that it's her seat, although she is standing up talking to friends.  The Mrs. tells her that she'll just hold it for her until she is ready to have it back or maybe they could share.  It was a little flirty.  Anyway, the brunette goes on this tale about how her man is in the room and she is supposed to bring him back a lady for him to go down on.  It was the funniest thing watching her try to convince my wife to go to a stranger's room and have him eat her out with no reciprocation.  She claimed that he could make her cum in less than two minutes.  She's trying so hard to convince the Mrs., so much that she left her friends and came over to us.  She is laying it on thick.  Next thing I know, the Mrs. asks me what I think, I told her it's up to her.  She is like "fuck it, let's go"!  What?!  So we are walking to the room and the Mrs. tells her that we need to stop by our room so she could go pee first and to freshen up.  The brunette is like "you can use our bathroom."  OK.  All of a sudden, on the way to the room, the craziness of the situation hits the Mrs. and she pauses and says..."I need you to suck my husband's dick too." That's my baby!!! Brunette replies, no problem. We get to the room and sure enough the door is propped open and she tells him that she brought him someone to eat.  He gets up and he isn't a bad looking guy.  We both were relieved.  She goes and freshens up and lays down and he goes to town.  I get behind our new friend and undo her bikini top and begin to rub on her tits and pull her nipples.  Then I turn her around so I can suck on them.  Sure enough, the Mrs. cums super fast (it took a little over two minutes).  Then she reminds our friend about my blowjob.  To which she promptly gets down on her knees and starts sucking my dick like there's no tomorrow.  My wife enjoyed watching that so much that she leaned over the edge of the bed and opened her mouth nice and wide so that our friend would guide my dick into her mouth.  It was so fucking hot.  Next thing I know, the brunette is totally naked and asks us if we wanted to fuck.  I know my wife, I could tell that was a bit much for one night, so we declined the offer and scurried out of there.  

Since it was our last night, the Mrs. thought she would redeem herself from the Colette debacle earlier in the trip, so we decided we'd go back.  It wasn't as crowded as the first night we went, although it was a Saturday night, so it was a win already.  We had the lay of the land, since we were just there a few nights before, so we knew where we wanted to sit and hang out.  This night, the crowd was certainly a lot younger and sexier, which was great.  We met a few vanilla couples there that helped us come to the conclusion that although it's a lifestyle club, there is a huge contingent of vanillas that attend.  It's probably because the club offers a very sexy environment, especially for vanillas, that allows you to take your sexiness up to the edge or you can go all the way over, if you choose to.  Since there were so many vanillas, there wasn't a lot of playing, but it was still a very sexy night.  We met a couple that was in the lifestyle and was visiting for the weekend.  We talked for awhile and shared lifestyle pleasantries (Where are you from? How long have you been married? How long have you been in the lifestyle? Etc.) with them and they seemed real cool.  Cool enough that when we were away from them, the Mrs. and I discussed the possibility of playing with them.  The Mrs. and I went to the small group room and she gave me a nice blowjob for awhile, until the room just got too crowded.  As we were leaving the room our new friends were just getting settled.  We searched for a private room and lucked up.   We quickly grabbed the room and got new bedding.  The Mrs. went to find our new friends to see if they were interested in sharing the room with us and possibly more, but no such luck.  We ended up occupying that room for the better part of the rest of the night until it just got too hot and stuffy in there and we needed a water break.  We turned over the room to a couple of very happy couples and retreated back downstairs.  The club was practically empty, so we headed back to the hotel for a night cap and some sleep, since we had an early fight out in the morning.

Sorry this was so long, but we wanted to make sure that we touched on as many experiences as possible.  So in conculsion, we would suggest checking out Naughty in Nawlins and Colette, while you are there.  It was a fun experience and we had a terrific time.  Would we go back?  Possibly.  The biggest "issue" for us is the lack of diversity.  Not just from an ethinic standpoint, but mostly from an age standpoint.  There were a lot of younger attendees, but you had to sift through the older attendees to find them!  We would suggest that the event host a meet and greet for the 40 and under guests early on, that way, they would have made the connections early and exchanged info so they could meet again later on.  Unless the organizers reach out to a younger, more diverse audience, we doubt NIN will be around in another ten years.  So while it's around, check it out....before it's gone!

Happy Fucking!

Mr. and Mrs. Moore
