The four women in the bathtub are so preoccupied with going down on each other, they don’t seem to notice me watching them. I've been walking around naked in this stranger's penthouse for several hours now, and tucked away in every nook of the apartment, groups of women are equally engrossed in one another.

The air smells like sex, but sweeter—perfume, plus sweat, minus men—and marijuana.
This is Skirt Club, a members-only society of nearly 11,000 women around the world, most of whom are in committed hetero relationships and identify as bi-curious or bisexual.
