A woman who turned her back on the fashion industry in favour of hosting high-end sex parties has shone a light on the plush soirées she puts on for the rich and famous.

Sarah Jane Banahan, from Liverpool, UK, makes a living out of organising erotic events, charging guests around £250 ($302) per ticket to one of her After Dark parties - without optional extras.

"It is a very high-end relaxed personable environment with security," she told the Liverpool Echo.

"You can choose what you want to do, you can just stand there naked and have a cocktail and look behind you to find a couple having sex."

But despite making a huge success of her unorthodox business, the 34-year-old said she has received a lot of criticism and abuse from people who don't fully appreciate what she does - including her own family.

She said: "People call me a s*** but I'm good at what I do - I like people and I'm good with them.

"I'm very close to my family, but one of them called me a w**** and I don't talk to them anymore.

"I get called all sorts - people don't realise it's a business, I don't go and have sex with everyone and when I'm hosting I don't have sex, I'm too busy, I'm there to assist.

"Some people see me as a sex slave but that is not the case - other hosts at parties will play but at my own, I don't mix business and pleasure. The parties are popular and it's not taboo anymore.

"People are a bit stupid. If you haven't been to one you can't have an opinion - but I am very thick-skinned."

Sarah has been criticised by people who don't properly understand her business.

Sarah graduated with a fashion marketing degree and began working in the industry, but she grew disenfranchised, and when she was offered the chance to move to Kuala Lumpur her life was altered forever.

She said: "I became bored in fashion, it was very cutthroat and b***** and I thought 'I don't want to do this anymore'.

"That was when a college friend got in touch and said he was opening a bar in Kuala Lumpur with my now ex-boyfriend. He asked me to manage the bar, but I felt I didn't have enough experience. So I lied on my CV, found work managing a bar and eventually went to Kuala Lumpur to manage their bar."

It was while out in the Malaysian capital that Sarah discovered her calling.

She said: "I didn't have a clue about any of it. I was quite kinky and I started going to sex parties with my now ex-boyfriend.

"I liked going to themed parties, so my creative mind took over and I thought I could do this myself. So for my ex-boyfriend's birthday, I hosted a sex party.

"I realised I was good at it and in the end, people were asking me when the next one was.

"It was a pleasure to host and see people happy and experimenting - it can transform people's lives."

Sarah is hoping to continue writing columns and hosting sex parties.

Sarah is now based back in the UK - where she writes sex columns for GQ and Fuse Magazine - and she hopes to continue to expand her parties and her writing.

She said: "I'm looking at hosting more in Asia, I've got people in Europe that want to collaborate with me, friends in Los Angeles who want to help me out.

"I also want to carry on writing articles and I would love to be a weekly columnist and hopefully cheer people up."
