Menier Chocolate Factory, London There’s tension in Terry Johnson’s tale of four couples meeting for sex and nibbles but the unruly debate isn’t deep enough
A t first, The Sex Party looks like a retro BBC sitcom about swingers, although that term is banned at this adult shindig. Four couples collect for sex and nibbles at a cool north London postcode. There is gleeful talk about getting it on and a fair share of parading around in lingerie and thigh boots.
But Terry Johnson’s spiky comedy takes us from the familiar fare of smut and sniggering double entendres to something bolder and more awkward in the sex/gender debate at its centre, even if it does not reach a satisfying end.
We only ever see what happens in the high-end kitchen (set designed by Tim Shortall) but we get a vivid idea of the action in the living room from the moans and groans we hear. In a production also directed by Johnson, the acting stays fine across the board although the characters are flimsy (Lisa Dwan especially does wonders with her part) and the star casting of Timothy Hutton stays strangely marginal for too long. He drifts on and off stage, saying little and looking like a cliched California guru in yoga pants.
The dialogue often goes off on random, unruly riffs; one character (Will Barton) talks about taking MDMA and the dialogue sounds under the influence too.
The play’s grenade is lobbed as the first act closes, with the entry of Lucy (Pooya Mohseni), a trans woman, and from here on in it feels like another play altogether. Doris Lessing, in a Penguin introduction to Lady Chatterley’s Lover, wrote that what happens in the bedroom is a “report on the sex war” outside it and it seems to be the case with this living room; suddenly, no one wants to convene there and a very live tension is in the air.
Much is flung at us, from talk of toilets to language and JK Rowling and it feels genuinely edgy. It is brave of Johnson to grapple with a debate that has become so divisive that a meeting of this kind would be unimaginable in real life. But arguments come thick and fast without being explored. Johnson seems to be shooting an arrow through the issues of the day – including, too briefly, consent – but it comes to feel like a dramatised version of Twitter.
The room exposes its bigots and we finally see the point of Hutton’s character but as more plot-points are lobbed at us in the closing moments it feels much less like a sitcom than an entire series rolled into one production.

Your faves are back! The first 2 episodes of 'The Sex Lives Of College Girls' season 2 featured an update on Nico, a strip show, and more.
Thanksgiving break is over, so it’s time to return to campus. In the season 2 premiere of The Sex Lives of College Girls , Nico is gone after the stolen test debacle of pre-Thanksgiving break. Leighton breaks it to the girls that Nico got expelled when Kimberly turned in the stolen test files. After an investigation, several senior Thetas got kicked out. Nico is likely not sweating the expulsion. He’s going to Cornell after a hefty donation from his dad.
Kimberly has still not told her parents about losing her scholarship. She thinks she’s going to be able to get herself out of this mess. When the girls cross paths with some Thetas, they’re told that the frat’s charter has been suspended. The core four are not allowed to step inside Theta again.
Kimberly decides to apply for a loan with Leighton’s help. But when she’s told that she needs a co-signer, Kimberly walks away from the loan. She refuses to tell her parents.
While Nico (and his abs) will be missed, there’s a new hottie on campus. His name is Jackson (played by Mitchell Slaggert ), and he’s a climate refugee. His college dorm was blown away by a Category 4 tornado, apparently. He makes himself right at home in his dorm by having loud sex right next door to the girls.
Bela is starting a female-only comedy magazine. Her first meeting doesn’t produce the results she’s looking for in potential writers. However, she finds a good prospect in Lila, Kimberly’s coffee shop co-worker, after a pep talk from Eric. Now that soccer is over for the year, Whitney feels a little lost. She hasn’t figured out what she wants to do next.
At a frat party, Kimberly confronts Jackson about his loud sex next door. He gives her his number to text him whenever things get a little too rowdy. Whitney overhears Canaan talking to his guys about her, and he’s not exactly fawning over her. She walks away and doesn’t say a word. Leighton meets a cute girl at the party, but she doesn’t want to flirt in front of everyone so she gives the girl the cold shoulder.
When the Thetas realize the girls are at the party, they are promptly kicked out into the cold and banned from all frats. Back in their dorm, Leighton comes out as gay to the rest of the girls. Kimberly tries to act surprised, but it’s a dead giveaway. Bela, Kimberly, and Whitney get Leighton to DM the girl from the party. Bela goes to Eric’s place to thank him for his advice, and they end up hooking up.
Since they’ve been banned from the frats, the girls decide to have their own party. No one comes. Ouch.
Kimberly reveals that she’s going to ask her mom about the loan. When she gets on a Zoom call, her mom admits that they had to spend a lot of money they don’t have to save Kimberly’s beloved dog. Kimberly doesn’t mention the loan after that.
Bela and Eric are sleeping together, but it’s nothing official. They’re allowed to see other people. Speaking of other people, a cute new girl named Zoe begins working at Sips. Whitney gets jealous when Canaan starts working with her. Leighton and her frat party girl have a steamy hookup after their DM exchanges.
Bela and Leighton try to mend fences with the frats. Leighton proposes doing a Theta fundraiser to raise money for climate control to help the frat get reinstated. If it’s a success, the girls are allowed back at parties.
Kimberly goes to dinner at her professor’s house. She asks her professor, Elizabeth, to co-sign her loan so she can stay in school. Elizabeth agrees after some thinking, but her husband is highly inappropriate towards Kimberly.
Bela and Leighton produce a strip show for the Thetas that would make Magic Mike proud. Before the show gets going, the dean shows up to shut it down. Bela runs to get Jackson to help convince the dean to raise money for climate control. When the dean hears they’ve already raised $11,000, she quickly changes her tune.
Whitney has to fess up to Insta-stalking Zoe when Canaan gets a hold of her phone. She admits that she’s jealous of Zoe. Canaan promises Whitney that he’s not into Zoe like that. Whitney brings up overhearing Canaan talking about her. He apologizes for saying anything.
Kimberly shows up at the party after weird interaction with her professor’s husband. After speaking to the girls, Kimberly realizes she never really told him no. This situation is briefly put to the side so they can all get lap dances. The girls are officially allowed back at the frats.
The next morning, Elizabeth brings in Kimberly to tell her that she can’t co-sign her loan. Kimberly immediately blabs about Elizabeth’s husband, thinking that’s the reason why she’s backing out. Turns out, Elizabeth didn’t want the credit score hit, and this also isn’t the first time Elizabeth’s husband has hit on a student. Kimberly is back at square one when it comes to getting the money to stay at school.

A woman has been dragged online after she explained how she expected her husband not to go out the night before their son's birthday.
In a post on the popular discussion site Mumsnet, user FluffyWorm explained how her son's 6th birthday was coming up, but she was concerned because her husband's annual work party would be the night before.
"Usually when my husband goes out the next day will be a write off," said the woman who asked if she was being unreasonable to expect him not to go to the event.
"Our son will be up early and want to open presents straight away with both of us," she explained.
The woman said she was worried that her husband would be too hungover to enjoy the festivities, writing: "They will probably drink until 4 am. I don't think he will be able to get up on the morning of his birthday due to the hangover."
Sheina Schochet, a licensed therapist and founder of Love After Baby, told Newsweek : "Every couple will have unique problems, depending on their circumstances, though there will be similar themes. For parents, issues around evening plans are a common one that pops up.
"Prior to having kids, one partner might not be thrilled that the other is going out for a late night, but then they can use that time to meet up with their own friends or for a solo self-care night," said Schochet. "It feels like a bigger deal when there is a kid in the picture because now the thought is along the lines of 'He's going out and enjoying himself with no responsibility, while I'm stuck at home with the baby... and he'll probably be too tired to help me tomorrow, so I'll be the only one dealing with the morning routine.'"
Online, the majority of replies suggested that the mom was being unreasonable and should let her husband relax and celebrate for the night.
"It's the night before, not the day. I can't see the issue. If he's a bit hungover during the present opening, he'll get over it," said one poster.
Another Mumsnet user wrote: "Just make your son wait a bit to get his birthday present, 6:30 am is ridiculous. It's not like Christmas."
"It seems that for this couple the dad going out, staying out late, getting drunk and being checked out the next day is a point of contention," said Schochet, who suggested that the couple open communication about the issue.
"For this one time, it's important for the mom to communicate in a calm and loving way that their son's birthday morning is a really important time and that they need to come up with a plan as a team to make this work for everyone," she explained.
"For the future, the couple has to have a conversation about the frequency and 'intensity' of these nights out. For the mom to turn a blind eye but feel upset inside isn't helpful to anyone and can lead to a lot of resentment—a relationship killer."
Other commenters on Mumsnet agreed that the parents should have a conversation about the issues. One said: "It's not fair to make a young child wait until lunchtime to open presents as daddy can't control his drink and will be lying on his pit until lunchtime."
"He needs to not drink alcohol which is a choice and one that is easy to make as it's the child's birthday the next day," said another reply.

Ayda Field has described her and Robbie Williams ’ bed as a communal sleeping area and claimed their sex life is ‘completely dead’.
The 43-year-old actress has bemoaned the fact that since the arrival of their four children, the couple – who have Teddy, nine, Charlie, seven, Coco, three, and two-year-old Beau together – their bedroom has become nothing more than a ‘communal workspace and sleeping area’ with no time for passion.
Ayda has already dished the dirt on her husband’s strange sleeping pattern , but there’s even more tea to be spilled when it comes to their bedroom.
Speaking on her Postcards from the Edge podcast, Ayda said: ‘When there was romance, when that happens, yes, there would be a communal sleeping place just out of physical need.
‘But now that that’s completely dead. It’s been obliterated by four kids. There is really no need to go to bed at the same time. It’s just a joint work space now.
‘I might as well make the bed like a ping pong table and we could just play every now and then. And then stray off into other corners to sleep. I think that’s what it is – it’s a WeWork space.’
And when they actually do end up in bed at the same time, Ayda has complained the former Take That star keeps her awake with his snoring, which is a relatively new development.
‘Rob snores, which did not happen in the early days. I’ll sometimes kind of thump him with my leg, I’ll shove. Sometimes it works but then he goes right back to doing it,’ she laughed.
‘It’s like a sleeping f***ing bear. Like honestly, the Gruffalo could walk in and Rob would just be there with his little acorn in the bed and would not even notice. There’s, like, earthquakes in LA — nothing wakes the man.’
But the former Loose Women star has no desire to retreat to a separate room from her 48-year-old husband, despite the advice of some of her close friends.
She said: ‘Sleep does really bring me to the edge, because there’s so little of it available and you know you’ve got the kids in the morning. I have some girlfriends who are like, “Just sleep in a different room”.
‘But then I think, “God, then we’re officially just room mates. We might [as well] be brother and sister”. Like, I’m just holding on to a thread with this joint sleeping place.’

Meanwhile, Robbie previously revealed he had noticed a change in in his sex drive since choosing monogamy with Ayda.
‘[It’s] amazing for somebody built like me – to put it in vulgar terms – a sh**ger. She gives me everything I want,’ the Angels singer explained to Grazia magazine : ‘I don’t mean sex-wise.
‘My thing in the 90s was sex with strangers, I didn’t know whether I’d be able to give that up. I was saying to her last night, it’s really spe
