What I learned from Hedo people in February
(Trip Report Part #2)
Warning: If you have capped teeth, they look purple under the black light used at Tuesday night’s pool deck glow party.
On to brighter news...
The resort celebrated owner Harry Lange’s birthday on Feb. 25 with a prude pool-side luncheon.
A nude 74-year-old Harry even took a spin on the stand-alone stripper pole erected for the occasion without ripping off his genitals.
One day in February a group offered butt plugs poolside. Four women knelt on the pool deck for insertion (a friend claimed it was too small).
Then two men included themselves, but that was too much for one of the watching entertainment coordinators who tried to put the kibosh on the activity.
But when one of the men stood up, the plug came shooting out! Surprise!
The nude pool does have a new sign up that prohibits anal sex there.
Hedo guests talk about sex a lot and don’t typically talk politics much.
This trip I saw only one political ball cap. The wearer said he thought it was funny; I didn’t, so I produced a wan smile and walked away.
Hedo’s general manager David Graham noted that guests once were more evenly balanced on the U.S. political spectrum, but that guests had swung more so to one side in the last year.
Hedo felt delightfully awash in Canadians. I also learned that Canadians who support the current U.S. administration are called Maple MAGAs.
Hedo’s general manager David Graham also said guests tend to self-police regarding consent and good behavior.
Granted, not all guests get the memo.
Here's the rule board on the door outside the Playroom:
One friend remembers a night In the Playroom in February where a loud woman walked in with her quiet gentleman trailing.
This obnoxious person made judgement calls and suggestions to various couples she saw on the beds...such as "You're not giving it to her hard enough."
And she slapped my friend’s ass. My friend was engaged with her husband and was mighty surprised at the intrusion.
Guests were appalled by this loud woman but said nothing. The staff didn’t ask her to leave.
I brought this story up with other guests later—they all said a man wouldn’t have gotten away with it.
I’m curious why a woman did though.
Maybe she was so shocking and whipped in and out of the playroom so fast they were all deer in headlights?
Thankfully, her bad behavior is a super rare event at Hedo.
Hedo’s website does have a PDF about consent (dig deep in the resort webpage FAQ section re: Playroom etiquette), but the document says that “No means no” when the current ethos for consent is that only “Yes means yes.”
Here's an update on a well-known Hedo peep
- Kemari Ewan, a previous entertainment coordinator, is living in Minnesota with his husband.
Hedo has two Facebook pages:
- Hedonism II Social Community
- Hedonism II
I find they aren’t as much fun or useful to read as my 2 Hedo books (grin!)
Next week I'll share Part 3 of my trip report!
