The Party Police totally killed the vibe recently in one Maryland neighborhood. Families in the close-knit Bethesda community weren't happy that neighbor Paul Pickthrone was hosting "bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism" (BDSM) parties in his castle-like house that is decked out with dungeon apparatuses.

Despite the cross-section of people, the nonkinky residents wanted to put an end to the "sex parties." But since the law does not regulate what activities people can consensually engage in at a party, the police couldn't do anything — until they found a loophole. Paul collected donations to cover the cost of hosting the party, and he donated the rest to a sexual freedom group. Since money changed hands, zoning officials declared that he needed a commercial permit. So now Paul must either cancel his parties or stop collecting donations. I'm guessing his next event will be BYOW (bring your own whip).
