UK company launches £5,000 sex cruise — these are the rules passengers must follow
Sex parties are coming to an ocean near you. Killing Kittens, the kink-positive event company, is launching a very naughty cruise promising a pretty pleasurable holiday for couples and singles alike. At a glance you might mistake it for a luxury all-inclusive trip, with the itinerary departing from Barcelona to Monte Carlo, before journeying on to Florence and Portofino. But the cruise is certainly one-of-a-kind, hosting a heady timetable of Killing Kittens events, including its popular White Party, a masked ball, the Kreatures of the Night primal soiree, the latex themed Dominion, and Hedonism, the longest-running Killing Kittens event. But just because you can let loose in one of the 'play rooms', it doesn't mean you can get lawless at sea. In fact, the Killing Kittens cruise has some very strict rules… The three core values If you're lucky enough to get a cabin on board, you must comply with the three core values of Killing Kittens: privacy, confidentiality and discretion. This means you cannot reveal the identity of anyone else at the sex parties on board, and you mustn't harass, abuse or harm anyone (a given, we'd hope).

Sign up to The Hook-Up and we'll slide into your inbox every week with all the latest sex and dating stories from Metro. We can't wait for you to join us! You also can't misrepresent your relationships with anyone, past or present – honesty is key, so if your wife is onboard, don't pretend she isn't. No solo men in playrooms Killing Kittens was born out of a desire to celebrate female pleasure, and therefore the safety of women, trans and non-binary individuals is paramount. That's why founder Emma Sayle's golden rule is 'no solo men in playrooms'. In fact, single men won't be going on this cruise at all – it's for solo women or women and their partners only. She tells Metro: 'Obviously it's consent, consent, consent, and everything is based on respect and being a decent human being.' You'll need to sign consent and attendance forms too once onboard. Unlike Killing Kittens parties hosted on land, you won't actually need to be a member to go – you just need to abide by the club rules. Dress codes Going on a sex cruise doesn't just mean you can get your t*ts and bits out – it's a much classier affair. Up Next In fact, Emma says there are specific clothing optional areas on board if you wish to bare all. That's not all, when it comes to party events, you'll need to come prepared. 'You'll need to adhere to the dress code depending on the theme of the night,' Emma explains. First timers If you've never been to a Killing Kittens party before, you'll want to join the pre-event chat nearer the time, so you can chat to people are get the general vibe of your spicy holiday. Don't sweat though, because there's also a mix and mingle the night before you set sail, to meet fellow cruisers. 'The White party is self explanatory – it's all white; the masked ball is black tie and ball gowns with masks; kreatures of the night is woodland, goddesses, nymphs – a chance to play real dress up. 'Hedonism is beach club wear in the day, and in the night Dominion is latex and leather.' So, you'll need quite the collection of outfits if you're to fully embrace the erotic themes, but don't fret because there's also mask and headdress making stations on board. The devil is in the details If you feel like this is right up your street then here's a little more info on the cruise itself, which sets sail on June 9, 2026.

DRESS CODE Despite the open-minded and relaxed atmosphere, there's certain do's and don'ts when it comes to clothing. But, if you can't wrap your head around the rules, there are spaces on board where it's permitted to be completely naked. The guidelines come into force for events, where Emma warned: "You'll need to adhere to the dress code depending on the theme of the night.

In the French town, which gets up to 50,000 tourists a day, you'll see everyone going about their business, walking around naked in the shops, having forked out £6 for a 'naked tax'. Elsewhere, The Naughty Cruise, which travelled from Los Angeles to Mexico, made waves when it promised four days of sex-fuelled parties for 2,000 revellers. Entertainment around the ship, which was organised by Couples Cruise in 2017, included everything from outrageous fancy dress parties - where guests were encouraged to dress as kinky as possible - to naked body paint, kinky sex instruments and nudity at all times. There was even a tantra centre where couples could learn about the art of sensual touch, as well as massage classes and "group sessions" which allowed more amorous couples to explore their boundaries and have fun with others. Another couples-only cruise where 'clothing is optional' is called Desire Cruise, which regularly sets sail from Venice, attracting a mix of 700 nudists, swingers and the curious. Guests can take part in tantric yoga, talks from sexologists and sex games. Plus, Hedonism Resort describes itself as the 'world's most iconic, clothing-optional, adult playground and the sexiest place on earth where you can be as mild or as wild as you like!' Located in Jamaica, the stunning resort is an all-inclusive paradise, where the drinks are flowing and guests 'can turn their fantasies into reality'. As well as the usual all-you-can-eat buffets and all-you-can-drink bars you'd find in an all-inclusive resort, Hedonism also has a playroom open 10pm to 3am. In here, couples, single women and invited single men will be greeted by a Playroom Hostess, and expected to participate, rather than watch.

BACK ON TOP By Sam Blanchard, Health Correspondent KINKY sex relieves the pain of a bad back or arthritis, research suggests. Those with a taste for whips and handcuffs in the bedroom reported health benefits as well as sexual enjoyment in the study. Many said they experienced short-term relief from chronic pain after a session with a Miss Whiplash. It is said to be down to the simultaneous release of stress hormones in response to the pain and the feelgood hormone dopamine during a bondage session — known as BDSM. Researcher Reni Forer said: 'Many BDSM practitioners experience benefits beyond sexual pleasure. Given the overlap in brain circuitry involved, BDSM could unknowingly result in pain relief for people with chronic pain.' Up to half of us are believed to live with long-term aches and pains from conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia or long-term injuries. The study, from the University of Michigan in the US, involved 525 people into BDSM, short for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism. Four in ten of them also suffered from chronic pain, defined as lasting longer than three months. In the study, 35 per cent said they felt pain relief after a kinky romp. A similar proportion said it helped to increase their pain tolerance and their ability to talk about their condition or cope with it emotionally. Ms Forer said: 'Participation can also benefit other aspects of one's life, including trauma processing, decreased psychological distress and higher wellbeing.' A recent Australian study found nine out of ten back pain remedies were no good, with no proof there was any benefit from steroids, paracetamol, acupuncture, heat or massage.
