The
Sex-Positive CircleCreators' Circle

Reflect on your relationship with the body. Inhabit your relationships. Find yourself in a space of listening, discretion and freedom.

Menton · Monaco · Monte-Carlo · Nice · Cannes · Saint-Tropez French Riviera · Côte d’Azur Sex-positive community · 18+ · Confidential All sexualities welcome — women, men, couples, trios and groups.
◆ Welcome to the Circle

Our circle is known by several names — The Sex-Positive Circle, The Creators’ Circle, Off-Camera. All of them refer to the same space : a circle of reflection and practice reserved for those who live beneath the gaze of others and who sometimes wish to show themselves differently — perhaps within a small, trusted circle.

You control every pixel of your public life.
Here, you control nothing — and that is precisely
why you can finally breathe.

On Instagram, your vulnerability is content. Here, it is freely given, reciprocal and protected. No camera. No algorithm. No audience. Just you — without the persona.

Millions of followers cannot replace a conversation where one has nothing to prove. The Circle is the only space where your beauty is not your currency — where what matters is the person behind the image.

A sex-positive community on the French Riviera — from Menton to Cannes, through Monaco and Nice. Our evenings, our swims, our conversations unfold discreetly in the most beautiful settings of the region.

Models, photographers, videographers, influencers, singers, actresses, business women — each enters the Circle bringing their own universe. Evenings in the palaces of the Promenade des Anglais or the Croisette, hidden coves between Nice and Monaco, private boats departing from Cap Ferrat. The real faces of our members remain strictly offline.

A circle of reflection and practice

The Sex-Positive Circle (SPC) is a space of human encounter dedicated to those who wish to think about, share and live their relationship with the body and with others — without judgement, without pressure, without performance.

We are not a traditional swingers’ club. We are not a wife-swapping party. We are a circle that brings together three dimensions : speech (exchange, listening, conversation), presence (being together, looking at one another, recognising one another), and practice (a sensual and bodily experience shared by those who wish, at their own pace).

The Circle is therefore not only a place of words : it is also a place of real physical experience, when the desire is there, within a framework where consent is the only currency and confidentiality an absolute rule.

Freedom of the body passes through freedom of speech — but it extends into presence and into shared experience, wherever each person chooses to go.

The sex-positive movement, born in the United States in the 1970s with figures such as Betty Dodson, rests on a simple idea : sexuality, in all its consensual and respectful expressions, is a positive dimension of human experience. It is neither an injunction to perform, nor exhibitionism — but a right to make one’s own choices about one’s body, one’s voice, and one’s life.

SPC is part of this lineage, adapted to the reality of the French Riviera — a region where female creators, influencers, entrepreneurs, artists and travellers from around the world cross paths.

Pleasure as elevation, not as escape. Our approach sees sensuality as a path of self-knowledge, not as a parenthesis in daily life. To embrace one’s desires consciously is to learn to know oneself, to name one’s limits, and to fully inhabit one’s body. Here, time slows down. Every moment is intentional. Exploration follows each person’s own rhythm.

The three pillars

Everything we do rests on these three principles. They are non-negotiable — they are the very condition of the trust that makes the circle possible.

01

Consent

A « no » is final; silence is not agreement. Consent is asked for, given again, and can be withdrawn at any moment — without justification, without debate. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens without it.

02

Confidentiality

What is lived at the Circle stays at the Circle. No photos, no recordings, no outside gossip. Every member signs a commitment to absolute discretion. It is the condition that allows each person to fully be themselves.

03

Kindness

Listening comes before action, respect before desire, the other’s pace before one’s own. Kindness is not a posture — it is a daily practice, demanding and joyful.

A circle shaped by those who lived it

A second paradox — the one that made the Circle possible.

The Circle was not designed by sociologists, nor by coaches, nor by any specialised milieu. It was shaped by women who lived it before they thought it — content creators, entrepreneurs, artists, public figures — each of whom had, in their own way, come to sense that something was missing at the very heart of their own success.

They were not looking for a spa, a coaching session, or yet another professional network. They were looking for a place they could find nowhere else : a space where they could set down their public image for a few hours, without having to justify anything.

They conceived and rooted it on the French Riviera, in Nice — a French region long accustomed to private circles, to discretion, and to an international culture that naturally matches the Circle’s sociology. The heart of the Circle is in Nice. Occasional gatherings take place, at the initiative of members, in other French-speaking cities : Paris, Monaco, Brussels, Lyon.

The Circle today welcomes women from every walk of life — as well as the men and couples who recognise this experience and share the same standard of respect and confidentiality.

A space that is feminine above all

The Circle is mostly feminine — 56% of members are women aged 18 to 36. We honestly acknowledge the sociology of our community : content creators, Instagrammers, adult students (18+) from art, fashion or business schools, photographers and visual professionals, models, business women, entrepreneurs… Profiles who share a certain relationship with the body, with image and with freedom.

Men are equally welcome — creators, students aged 18+, photographers, business men, artists. Their presence is an integral part of the Circle’s balance. And whatever your orientation, SPC is open to all sexualities : straight, bi, lesbian, gay, pansexual, curious asexuals…

The Circle remains open to anyone aligned with our values, whatever their background. What matters is openness of mind, mutual respect, and a genuine wish to share a space of freedom — not appearance, not profession, not Instagram following.

01
Women 18+
Female creators, influencers, artists, solo entrepreneurs, models, students or working women. Alone, with a partner, or with a friend.
02
Couples
Stable couples, married, in civil partnerships… or couples of the moment, formed for the occasion. No one asks anyone for a legal status. What matters is the trust shared in the present moment.
03
Friends together
Two close friends, a group of three or four — coming with someone you trust often makes the first experience smoother and more comfortable.
04
Respectful men
Men are welcome — their quietly assumed masculinity is part of the Circle’s balance. Absolute respect of a no, the ability to listen, no insistence : being respectful does not mean being erased. On the contrary, a masculine presence is valued when it knows how to hold itself, to offer, and to step back when needed.
Coming alone is an act of trust. We know it. That is why our entire framework is designed so that this trust is never betrayed.
◆ What no one names

A remarkable woman doesn’t have more simple encounters than another — she has fewer.

Every glance is interpreted, every DM mistrusted, every opening amplified. Men of substance fall silent out of fear of rejection or of appearing suspect. The others overwhelm. Spontaneous, disinterested encounters become almost impossible to draw out in public or digital space.

The Circle exists, in part, for this reason. It is a pre-qualified space where intentions are clear, where selection guarantees respect, and where one can meet someone without having to ask « what does he really want from me ? ». The framework does the work the street no longer does, and that social networks will never do.

This reality affects ultra-visible women — Instagrammers, models, creators — just as it does accomplished men whose social position smothers all spontaneity. The Circle offers them what neither apps, nor bars, nor professional gatherings can offer : the possibility of lowering one’s guard without fear of being instrumentalised.

An experience at your own pace

There is no imposed script. No choreography. No « programme ». Each member sets their own pace, their own limits, their own desires. Here are a few markers to help one grasp the spirit of the Circle.

◆ Your own pace

You come. You observe.
You decide.

The first time, one often comes simply to watch, to listen, to understand — owing nothing to anyone. One may leave after an hour. One may stay, talk, unwind. There is no obligation to act, no expectation of performance.

◆ Conversations first

A circle of speech,
then an encounter.

Every gathering begins with a time of speech : we introduce ourselves, we share what we are looking for and what we don’t want. This step is fundamental — it creates the frame, dispels misunderstandings, and allows each person to feel seen.

◆ Playful undress

The body as
a free language.

When the moment comes — and only if it does — the body can become a way of being present to oneself and to others. On free-dress evenings, nudity remains a personal choice. At events with a dress code, it is part of a shared experience — the same for everyone.

◆ Absolute discretion

No phone.
No photo. No trace.

Smartphones are left at the entrance. No photo, no video, no screenshot is tolerated. Confidentiality is the tool that allows each person to be free — without fear of finding themselves exposed the next day.

Dress — or undress — freely

At the Circle, dress is, in principle, free. Each person comes as they feel — fully clothed, in lingerie, or in nothing at all. There is no single rule, because there is no single evening.

At certain events, a specific dress code is set. It ensures that everyone enters the same atmosphere, on equal footing, without any hierarchy of style or appearance. The dress code is always communicated in advance and can range from elegant evening wear to full nudity, through lingerie, topless, bottomless, or a more thematic code — masked, burlesque, elegant fetish… The Circle sees itself as eclectic, playful and free of taboos.

◆ When dress is free

Your body,
your rules.

You wear whatever you wish. An evening gown, jeans, lingerie, a robe, or nothing at all. No one will judge your choice. Free-dress events are designed to let each participant set their own level of comfort — without pressure, without insistent gazes.

◆ When a dress code is set

One code,
one equality.

Some evenings call for a specific dress in order to create a shared atmosphere and dissolve visible differences. When everyone wears the same « uniform » — whether elegant, minimal or nude — social markers fade away. Only the person remains.

◆ Nudity as equality

When everyone is nude,
everyone is equal.

Shared nudity, within a trusted framework, dissolves vestimentary hierarchies, status symbols, social masks. No more luxury watch, no more designer gown, no more outward sign of success. Only the person remains — in their simplicity, their fragility, their real beauty. It is a radical equaliser that naturist philosophy has recognised for over a century.

◆ Dissolving the ego

Remove the image
to find the person again.

For influencers, models, public figures — those who live with a permanent « persona » — the Circle offers a rare space : one where you are no longer an image, but a person. To fully expose oneself to the gaze of others is to agree to no longer hide behind the role one plays every day — and to discover who one truly is when there is nothing left to prove.

Why nudity liberates

Research in social psychology confirms what intuition already suggests. Keon West, a researcher at Goldsmiths, University of London, conducted three studies (849 participants, then 24, then 100) published in the Journal of Happiness Studies (2018). His findings are unambiguous : participation in communal nudity activities predicts greater life satisfaction, mediated by a more positive body image and enhanced self-esteem.

In 2021, West further demonstrated that group nudity reduces social physique anxiety — the fear of being judged on one’s appearance — which in turn increases appreciation of one’s own body. The effect is measurable and lasting, even a month after the experience.

The sociologist Erving Goffman (The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, 1959) distinguished between the front stage — the public stage where one actively manages one’s image — and the back stage, the private space where one can finally let the masks down. For an influencer whose front stage is permanent (every story, every post, every appearance), the Circle offers a real back stage : a place where she is not an image to maintain, but a person to meet.

Researcher Brené Brown (University of Houston, twenty years of research on vulnerability) showed in her TEDx talk — viewed more than sixty million times — that vulnerability is not weakness; it is the most accurate measure of courage. Those who live fully have the courage to be imperfect. When we dare to set down the armour that protects us, we open ourselves to the experiences that give life its meaning.

An article published in Philosophia (Springer, 2023) analyses the shame surrounding nudity as rooted in our need for social approval. Conversely, voluntary undress within a trusted framework deactivates this mechanism. It is not exhibitionism — it is an act of reconciliation with oneself.

At the Circle, this dimension is fully embraced. Nudity is neither a spectacle nor a performance. It is a tool of identity decompression — particularly precious for those who permanently carry the weight of a public image.

Each event specifies its dress code in the invitation. In doubt, ask — there is no such thing as a bad question.

Not one place, but many

The Circle is not a physical venue. It is a community that unfolds in spaces chosen according to the occasion, the atmosphere, the season and the nature of each gathering. The Circle is based in Nice, on the French Riviera, and all of its activities flow from there.

◆ Evenings at grand hotels

The elegance of a palace
on the Promenade

For the most formal gatherings, the Circle takes up residence in the salons of a palace hotel on the Promenade des Anglais (Nice’s iconic seafront). The atmosphere is that of a private meeting in a prestigious setting : elegance, discretion, refinement.

◆ Aperitifs & first exchanges

Confidential bars
of Old Nice

For new encounters, first times and regular reunions, the Circle favours discreet bars and welcoming rooms that allow conversation without ceremony, within the lanes of Old Nice / Vieux-Nice.

◆ Gatherings in private

The intimacy of
a chosen apartment

Some evenings unfold in private apartments, chosen for their intimacy and their capacity to protect the absolute confidentiality that defines the Circle. Access is strictly reserved for members invited on each occasion.

◆ Swims at a hidden beach

A secret cove
a step from Monaco

From late spring to early autumn, the Circle gathers at a discreet beach a short walk from Monaco, accessible only on foot. Sunbathing and swimming unfold according to each person’s choice : in a swimsuit, topless, or fully nude. No one watches, no one judges, no one photographs.

Beyond Nice, occasional gatherings take place in other French-speaking cities, most often at the initiative of members who wish to share the Circle with their own trusted network. We welcome those who bring genuine experience of practice and who enrich the Circle through their energy. Exact locations are shared only with confirmed members, and always within a framework of strict confidentiality.

If you’re interested in taking an active part in building the Circle, we’d be glad to hear your proposals. If you’d like to open a chapter in your city, we’ll look into that possibility with care.

Spontaneous Encounters

We listen. We hear you.

Photographer and model — spontaneous outdoor shoot
Photographer × creator gatherings

The Circle is evolving. We are now introducing spontaneous encounters between photographers, videographers, female creators, male creators, female influencers and male influencers — for shooting sessions that are free, natural and caring on the French Riviera.

No imposed brief. No fixed direction. A space where creation is born from the encounter — between a gaze behind the lens and a presence before it. Between an idea of light and a moment of truth.

🎨
Creating together
Experimenting & finding inspiration
💬
Exchanging without judgement
🌐
Authentic collaborations

Photographers and videographers are always looking for models. Models are looking for photographers and videographers. The Circle builds the bridge. A space where the creative encounter happens naturally, without the friction of social networks or the misunderstandings of DMs.

Within the environment of the Sex-Positive Circle, the relationship with the body is already liberated. Undress becomes natural — never forced, never imposed, simply unselfconscious. Every shoot rests on a shared agreement between model and photographer on the kind of work intended, and on explicit consent at every step.

⚠ Absolute rule : cameras and video equipment are permitted only within these specific shooting sessions. They are strictly forbidden at all other Circle activities — without exception.

Impromptu sessions to foster artistic and human encounter, within a framework that is respectful, inspiring and consensual. Open to anyone drawn to creation, to freedom of expression, and to collective energy.

A lineage of thought

The Circle does not invent itself. It is part of an intellectual and activist heritage, carried by historical and contemporary figures who have thought of the body, desire and freedom as grounds for emancipation. Here are a few of them — to read, to listen to, to bring into daily life.

Betty Dodson

1929 — 2020 · American pioneer

Female pleasure is not an afterthought. It is a political act and a path of self-knowledge.

Annie Sprinkle

Sexologist, artist · PhD

The erotic is a ritual art. Practised consciously, it becomes a form of meditation and of care.

Esther Perel

Belgian psychotherapist · New York

Eroticism is the antidote to death, not to sex. Desire needs otherness to survive.

Audre Lorde

Feminist poet · 1934 — 1992

The erotic is a measure between our deepest feelings and the order of the world.

Maïa Mazaurette

Columnist · Le Monde · Author

Sexuality is a political right to flourishing. Not a favour, not a luxury, not a reward.

Margot Anand

Modern tantra · SkyDancing

Tantra is not a sexual technique. It is an attention, a slowness, a full presence to the other.

Athénaïs Bordas

Contemporary francophone voice

Consent is not a moral constraint. It is the very infrastructure of any free exploration.

Jüne Plã

@jouissance.club · Author

To map pleasure is to return to every woman the right to know her own body without shame.

Your questions, our answers

Absolutely. That is the very essence of the Circle. The great majority of our members discover the space for the first time. We encourage newcomers to begin by observing, listening, understanding — without having to do anything. You can come, stay for an hour, and leave. You can come, stay all evening and do nothing but talk. No performance is expected. No action is required. Simply allowing yourself to be there is already the most beautiful thing you can do.
All three are welcome. Coming alone is an act of trust that we honour with a specific kind of welcome. Coming with a friend (or a few) often makes the first time smoother — it’s one of the most common configurations. Coming as a couple is equally frequent : many couples find in the Circle a space to explore together, within a safer frame than the usual alternatives. In every case, members move at their own pace — together or independently.
Not in the classical sense. We have nothing against sensuality — on the contrary, it is an important and fully acknowledged dimension of the Circle. But we set ourselves apart from traditional swingers’ clubs through : (1) a rigorous selection by mandatory individual interview, which filters intentions and respect ; (2) a genuine educational and reflective frame — circles of speech, conversations, workshops ; (3) a specific sociology — creators, artists, students of age, fashion photographers, professionals — rather than the heterogeneous clientele of commercial clubs ; (4) a refusal of the entrance fee as the only filter. The emotional and intellectual dimension matters as much as the physical one.
Safety is our absolute responsibility, and it rests on several layers : strict member selection (every application is reviewed individually, with a specific validation step for men), a preliminary interview before any first participation, a signed confidentiality commitment, no phones allowed on site, facilitators present to ensure the frame is respected, and an unconditional right to leave at any moment. Any inappropriate behaviour leads to immediate and definitive exclusion — no exception.
Never. Applying simply opens a conversation. You will receive a personal reply, then you may ask every question you wish, meet a circle member by video or over coffee, before deciding whether you want to come — or not. You can also withdraw at any moment, without explanation.
Born in the United States in the 1970s and carried by figures such as Betty Dodson, the sex-positive movement rests on a simple idea : sexuality, in all its consensual and respectful expressions, is a positive and natural dimension of human experience. It stands against shame, against guilt, against prescriptive demands, and affirms everyone’s right to make their own choices about their body, their voice and their life. It is a philosophy of emancipation, not of display. It is compatible with every way of life : monogamous or otherwise, single or in a relationship, newcomers or experienced.
Yes. That is the very foundation of the Circle. No photo, no video is permitted on site. Phones are left at the entrance. Any member attempting to record anything would be immediately excluded, and pursued legally if necessary. Your identity, your profession, your personal life remain strictly private — unless you yourself choose to share them with other members. Partial or total anonymity is always possible.
The Circle operates informally. Any fees cover only venues, champagne and the small touches that make each gathering pleasant. For women, participation is generally complimentary — or symbolic. Details are shared during the exchange that follows your application.
No — it is the opposite. The frame is what makes spontaneity possible. When you know that every participant has been selected, has agreed to the same charter, and shares the same values, you can finally lower your guard. You no longer have to analyse every glance, to parse every word, to ask yourself « what does this person want ? ». Emotional safety frees naturalness. It is exactly the opposite of a bar or a dating app, where everything is open yet no one dares to be themselves any longer.
Absolutely. We honestly describe the real sociology of our community, but the Circle is open to anyone aligned with our values. What matters is openness of mind, respect, a genuine wish to experience authentic encounters within a clear framework. Not appearance, not profession, not Instagram following. Many of our members come from very different worlds and find in the Circle a space where their difference is precisely what enriches the encounter.
A few starting points to explore sex-positive thinking freely : the books of Betty Dodson (Sex for One), Esther Perel (Mating in Captivity, The State of Affairs), Maïa Mazaurette (Sortir du trou, lever la tête, La Revanche du clitoris), Emily Nagoski (Come As You Are) and Jüne Plã (Jouissance Club, une cartographie du plaisir). In French-language podcasts, the recent episode of 108 Milliards on the sex-positive movement is an excellent way in (49 minutes, September 2025). For the modern tantra dimension, the work of Margot Anand. For philosophical depth, the short text by Audre Lorde Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power.
No — and it is one of the most common misunderstandings. The sex-positive movement does not say « anything goes » or « everything must be tried ». It affirms that everyone has the right to explore their sexuality without shame or judgement, within the strict respect of consent. A sex-positive space can welcome conversations, a circle of speech, a quiet evening — just as much as a sensual exploration. What is sex-positive is not necessarily sexual, and what is sexual is not necessarily sex-positive. The nuance is essential. It is a philosophy of emancipation, not of display.
By default, no. At most gatherings, dress is free — you come as you feel. But some events call for a specific dress code, which can range from evening wear to lingerie, topless, or full nudity. In that case, the dress code is the same for everyone — that is what creates the equality and the complicity. The Circle’s approach remains gradual : no one is ever forced. If an event doesn’t match your comfort, you simply choose another. And on free-dress evenings, you can come ten times without ever undressing — your place in the Circle will be no less legitimate for it.
Yes — and you are not the first. People known on the internet or in public life already place their trust in the Circle. For these profiles we have a dedicated process of heightened discretion : a confidential personal interview, access limited to a small inner circle of deeply trusted members accustomed to being around notoriety, and never any unwanted exposure. Your identity is never shared with anyone without your explicit agreement. There is no reason why a publicly known person should not enjoy the Circle’s activities — on the contrary, they are often the ones most in need of a space where one is no longer an image, but a person.
A glass of champagne or wine may accompany arrival, as at any elegant evening. But excess alcohol is incompatible with our frame — because it impairs consent and clarity of mind. Consent given under the influence is not consent. Our facilitators ensure that every person present remains fully aware and free in their choices. That is what sets the Circle apart from a cocktail bar or a classic private party.
It sits at the very heart of the movement. Being sex-positive is not saying yes to everything — it is having the freedom to say yes or no, consciously, without guilt. Learning how to decline is as precious as exploring desire. To know one’s limits, to name them, to have them respected : that is an act of strength, not of closure. At the Circle, « no » is never a problem — it is the proof that the frame is working. And when someone says no, we thank them. Because that « no » is the very condition that makes every « yes » true.
Every gathering is different, but the general outline runs as follows. Arrival : staggered arrivals, phones handed in, a welcome drink, faces discovered or found again. If a dress code has been announced for the evening, it applies from the moment of arrival. Circle of speech : each person introduces themselves, expresses what they are looking for and what they don’t want — this is the foundation of the evening. Time of gathering : open conversations, natural connections, music, an unhurried atmosphere. Exploration (depending on the evening) : for those who wish, the evening may continue in a more intimate space — always with facilitators present, always within the frame. Closing : a word, a look, a farewell. One leaves free. You can leave at any moment, without explaining yourself.
It depends on the event. In principle, dress is free — you come as you feel. Yet some evenings call for a specific dress code so that everyone stands on equal footing. The code can range from elegant evening wear to lingerie, from topless to full nudity, through more creative themes (masked, burlesque, glamour…). The dress code is always communicated ahead of the event in the invitation. When it is set, it is the same for everyone — that is what creates the equality and the complicity. In doubt, ask — there is no such thing as a bad question.
