Remember the Nairobi Cougar Lounge?

Raunchy house parties have always been held in various parts of the city; from stag nights to Sugar Mummies Day Out, but few have caused a ruckus like Project X.

Take Sexiest Nairobians Party.
It boasts over 100,000 followers, mostly teenagers. Peter Tanui (pictured), who runs it started the event last year and targeted young urbanites on Instagram.
“I have so many followers, if I post it on my page, they’ll share it among themselves and they just come,” he told The Nairobian, adding that, “If you are not on Instagram or sometimes Facebook, it passes you. We add people to WhatsApp groups and hype our gigs. And we get a turnout.”

Last year, 21- year -old Malcom Andrew organised Colour Festival, which attracted close to 5,000 teenagers in Nairobi’s Karen estate, all through Instagram.

Indeed, there is an online application called InstaParty that automates the planning of small and mid-sized parties which often end in under half an hour.

Users just go to the app, type in their party details - from party number to the type of drinks or appetisers they’d like.

The app then finds the bars that make the most sense to host the party, and then the party’s parameters are delivered to that bar. Users can also request a specific bar.

Remember Nairobi Cougar Lounge?
Well, it began in June 2015, but did not cause as much furore as Project X.
It promised sexy cougars all they had ever desired, including sensual black and Arabian men.

A cougar is an older woman seeking a sexual thrill with younger men.
Nairobi Cougar Lounge started online, trended and was picked by major media outlets. Despite it taking place, no photos were allowed from the event.

Speaking to The Nairobian, The Kenya Film Classification Board CEO, Ezekiel Mutua, said there is an increase in local porn production, adding that the alleged syndicate was not just in parties, but even in rugby matches.

“We have a tip off. These kids are not calling for the filming. They are not aware of it. But where wanton sexual behaviour is happening, like during rugby events, these people will be filming, even with phones,” he said.

“We want to create a conversation. Parents have to take responsibility. I am happy with the uproar. We came in after consultation with police, youth and other stakeholders,” said Mutua.
