Best naughty dates

Orgy lite
This is a summer fling, goddamn it, so start acting like it. Sign up for a OneLegUp Take-Out Soiree (various locations; onelegupnyc.com; couples $100, single females $20), erotic parties for beginners where hard-core playing is forbidden but topless tongue action is heartily encouraged. To get you in the mood, slurp some aphrodisiacs at Pearl Oyster Bar (18 Cornelia St between Bleecker and W 4th Sts; 212-691-8211, pearloysterbar.com), then prepare for any postparty shenanigans at sex-paraphernalia boutique The Pleasure Chest (156 Seventh Ave South between Charles and Perry Sts; 212-242-2158, thepleasurechest.com).

Art, undies and a few new moves
If you want to get the topic of nookie right out in the open, head to the Museum of Sex (233 Fifth Ave at 27th St; 212-689-6337, museumofsex.com), where there’s no avoiding it. Browse the permanent collection of erotic ephemera, much of it from New York’s glory days, such as dominatrix Domina M’s suspension cage. Afterward, go in search of what little raunch is left in the city by perusing the risqué selection at lingerie store Azaleas (223 E 10th St between First and Second Aves; 212-253-5484, azaleasnyc.com). Before seeking out privacy, learn some new moves from the saucy acts that perform regularly at the Slipper Room (167 Orchard St at Stanton St; 212-253-7246, slipperroom.com; Wed–Sat, $5).

Neither your place nor mine
Settle those nerves with drinks at discreet, low-lit Dusk Lounge (147 W 24th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves; 212-924-4490, dusklounge.com), where the one-way mirror in the ladies’ room provides a voyeur’s view from inside. Hop in a cab to by-the-hour Liberty Inn (51 Tenth Ave between 13th and 14th Sts; 888-268-8050, libertyinnnyc.com) and choose a “Romantic Interlude Room” with a two-person whirlpool ($75 for two hours). You may have to wait in the lobby with the occasional john and “partner,” but the place is clean and safe, and you can always make out on one of the nearby Hudson Piers to kill time. After all that, it’ll be time for a scrub-down : Be prepared ahead of time by making reservations at Finesse Day Spa (133 W 25th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves; 212-352-3434, finessedayspa.com). Book an hour-long detoxing and exfoliating Bio-Mediterranean Body Polish treatment ($95) for your date, and a 30-minute Deep Sea Salt Body Glow ($55) for yourself—that’ll give you 30 minutes to get the hell out before your one-night stand is even finished.
