Sterling is New England's longest running party under the same "management". You will find an eclectic assortment of couples and single women, and not much in the way of drama. Events are open to couples and single women only, with the exception that single men are welcome to host a party in their home. Our fantasy? That everyone will be happy with all the music and that no one will find the temperature to be either too hot or too cold. So dress lightly, 'cause the evening's going to get very warm, very quickly. Guys, look at what your woman is wearing - do you really want to wear that cable-knit sweater and wool pants considering that we will be setting the thermostat to keep her comfortable?

We are Ed & Janet, hosts of the Sterling Club. We can be reached between 10:00 AM and midnight at 781-843-5112. Voice only please, as we will need to verify that you are not a teen ager and are not a single male. We will answer blocked numbers, so if you are shy, feel free to block your number.

First off - why only one pictures? The short answer - because our real-world business involves children. That being said, we do need to post some discreet pics. With approximately 1300 couples and 60 single women on our mailing list, our personal pictures would not be representative anyway. We seek others interested in meeting in social, no-pressure, potentially sexual situations. The majority of couples are in their 30s and 40s, with more than a few in their 20s and 50s.. We host the occasional "35 and under" party so that younger couples can have an evening when they can avoid the 70s and 80s music. Yes, we do remember what it was like to be young(er). It is our opinion that one of the best ways to meet potential partners is to become on-line friends, then meet at a party. That way there is no pressure; if things don't click when you meet in person, you can thank them for meeting and move on. OK, it's not that simple, but easier than .....

In the past, we have sponsored what we refer to as "Ladies' Choice" parties. With the exception of a male hosting a party in his home, these are the only parties that unescorted men are invited to. Women who are interested in several men at once (or in series) will go through an album of single men's pictures; we then invite only the men who were chosen by at least one of the ladies who will be at the party. Only about 5% of our couples/women are interested in this option; but we like to please all.
