Hillsbrough, NC -- Would you believe the next Tupperware party-style fad might be sex toy parties?

That's according to former "Playboy's" Playmate Marlene Janssen, who's founded a company that helps middle-aged women discover the joys of sex toys through Tupperware-style house parties.

She says when women reach middle age they want "to spice up their boring sex lives" and a good way to do that is by throwing a sex toy party with their friends.

Janssen admits it might sound like an orgy where a bunch of women use sex toys on each other but the parties are actually pretty tame: The hostess has a distributor from the company come over and talk about the products.

She says her company, Temptation Parties, makes sure that the parties are as comfortable as possible and says they sometimes even turn into emotional therapy sessions where the women drink cocktails, gobble snacks and dish about sex.
