Illegal sex parties enjoyed by Silicon Valley’s best see ‘warehouses turned into play space’
According to insiders, Silicon Valley tech magnates are flocking to free-spirited and exclusive sex and drug parties in California.
Sources claim the ‘Lifestyle’ swing scene is rife with drug experimentation and sexual openness – with high-profile tech moguls being treated like ‘rock stars’.
That’s what an insider told me The New York Post that the lifestyle is not “uncommon” among a particular industry of San Francisco Bay Area tech executives.
Murdered CashApp founder Bob Lee was reportedly a regular at the parties, along with his suspected killer’s glamorous sister.
Khazar Elyassnia, 37, who was with Lee the day he died, has so far refused to be interviewed by investigators after they accused her brother Nima Momeni of the murder.

She is married to plastic surgeon Dr Dino Elyassnia but reportedly had a sexual relationship with Lee – with prosecutors alleging that Momeni killed Lee after questioning him about the suspected affair.
According to internal sources, Lee isn’t the only high-profile tech tycoon attending the parties, claiming they were held in a “typical warehouse.”
They told the Post, “On an upper floor was a play area with mattresses inside and towels outside.
“It was like going to a tech party, except everyone took their clothes off and went upstairs for sex.
“There is an opinion that the nerds who had become millionaires now have something open to them [opportunities for sex and drugs] in a way it hasn’t been before.
“Many of these people were nerds. When there’s money and access and power, it all goes together.’
Some parties are invitation-only, which take place behind closed doors in lavish mansions and castles.

She explains in her book Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys’ Club of Silicon Valley that after using drugs, groups of people are often close together.
They then break up into smaller groups in smaller private rooms, according to her book, leading to some of the elite “bragging” about their personal and private lives.
One of the most selective parties technically is the well-known Bronze Party, with rules for the voyeurs watching the activities to whisper or “not talk at all.”
Parties are often themed and pride themselves on being the “sexiest holiday event in the Bay Area” with DJs.
They advise that attendees wear “seductive lingerie and clubwear,” while another suggested “erotic glamour.”
Exclusive Bronze Party was founded by Ben Fuller, who was once a tech entrepreneur and sold his company for “less than $5 million.”

Drugs are not allowed in Power Exchange, although Powers confirmed that some attendees will only attend if they are “drug-oriented”
But others happen in the open, allowing many millionaires to discover new fetishes and experiences.
A San Francisco fetish club hosts parties for “picky techies” who have specific expectations that must be met before they can participate.
Josh Powers, who runs a club called Power Exchange, told the Post, “There’s a public exhibition going on.
“Visitors can go there with another person and let other people watch them. There is a correlation between our real players and technology displacing culture in San Francisco.
‘We attract people from the tech world. Many of them require you to submit photos that show what you look like and who you are. Some are status-based, targeting high-level individuals.”

Tech executive and investor Bob Lee, who helped create Android and Cash App, was stabbed to death in San Francisco

He added: “Some feel they need it and nothing happens if people don’t take drugs.”
It is alleged that some attendees take a “mathematical approach” and even apply a “data-driven approach to sexual relations.”
An insider claims that engineers are “looking at the number of failed relationships and wondering how to optimize them” – including by having multiple sexual partners.
They added, “That approach is unique to Silicon Valley: if something fails X number of times, let’s optimize it by doing Y.
“There’s an element in people taking a data-driven approach to sexual relationships. It’s not like they’re partying all the time.
“They microdose with mushrooms and ketamine and go on ayahuasca retreats. It’s an intellectual approach to hard partying.
‘In Silicon Valley it is normal to experiment with drugs and sex. Going to sex parties is one of the things they do’.

Known as “Crazy Bob” by friends, Lee was an active investor in numerous companies, such as SpaceX, Clubhouse, and Figma
She is married to plastic surgeon Dr Dino Elyassnia but reportedly had a sexual relationship with Lee – with prosecutors alleging that Momeni killed Lee after questioning him about the suspected affair.
Those attending the parties say there’s “no disgrace to do drugs” in that world, adding that Silicon Valley is “less judicious than New York.”
They added to the Post, “It makes sense because people out there think outside the box.
“They are still inventing the future. These people have a tendency to risk. Burning Man is part of the culture.
‘You could walk around naked and see a colleague who is naked and that wouldn’t be a bad thing. Many people who are doing well in Silicon Valley are experimenting with all sorts of things.’
Another author opened up to the world of secret sex parties, writing that an organizer boasted that a key member of the iPhone development team was present.
Laurie Seagall wrote in her book Special Characters: My Adventures with Tech’s Titans and Misfits that one man “who made our check-in software actually built Oracle.”
The insider also claims that sex parties take place in smaller homes as well, with porn even in “monitors in the hallway.”
They told the Post, “It wasn’t a billionaire’s house. It was a mediocre house. It felt a bit dirty, kind of like a sketch. It was all Silicon Valley women and men.”
