Biversity is a regular community event for bisexuals in Sydney. Their eighth official party was Luscious at Candy’s Apartment in Bayswater Road Kings Cross. The promo promised an attitude-free celebration of bisexuality with funky house music and erotic shows.

The Sistas of Funk DJed first, setting off the night with funky house music, followed by Master Flair. The dance floor was pumping the whole time we were there, everybody having a good time and sexy fun. Britney, Christine and Madonna like activity was in excess on the dance floor.

Just the right number of guests attended from a wide range of ages, dress styles, genders and backgrounds from all corners of Sydney. As you would expect in a community event, guests were friendly, as promised “attitude-free” and sensitive. There didn’t appear to be much of the sleaze factor and no pressure to join in, but responsiveness when you did. Most people I spoke to were regulars at the events and made a night of it, ending up in some one’s bed and with usually more than the one.

Missing the overt sexuality usually found between members of the gay and lesbian community, the guests are more furtive and intent on sensuality. The sexuality comes after hours.

There were lots of couples, a few harmless-looking single men, quite a few pairs and groups of girls and the occasional metrosexual. This isn’t a local community, its a metropolitan community and a worldwide trend, according to the music tv fashionistas.

The site of Candy’s Apartment has been a nightclub for longer than I can remember, from live music in the seventies and eighties to the ill-fated China White in 2002. It has improved from its previous incarnations, having expanded into many and varied rooms, one of which houses a grand piano, which is almost invisible in a corner of the deepest bar.

Candy’s Apartment subscribes to the view that the more mirror balls the better and they have succeeded, with thirty or forty lining the dance floor ceiling. The lighting was dramatic and simple, intertwining seamlessly with the excitable dancers and the hardedged funk.

Special touches were the large platters of luscious strawberries, grapes, bananas and apples, and plenty of staff happy to give fuss-free service.

Highly recommended, if you’re into that sort of thing!
