The owner of a 17th Century manor house called the police after an upper-class masked ball turned into an orgy.

News Type: Event — Seeded on Thu Jul 16, 2009 10:52 AM EDT

The guests then started kissing and a mass orgy ensued with couples having sex "everywhere".

Halswell House owner Grahame Bond, a multi-millionaire estate agent, was forced to send some of his teenage staff home because of the explicit activities.

He called the police but was told officers were powerless to intervene because it was on a private dwelling between consenting adults.

It later emerged that the party had been organised by a Dutch events company which specialises in sexy 'adults-only' parties.

Mr Bond, 45, who brought the property for £1.94 million in 2004, said the evening suddenly turned into an orgy "as if a switch had been flicked on".

He said: "The party started normally and it all seemed pretty harmless - people were drinking but everyone was very well behaved and pleasant.

"The whole group were dressed in these great costumes and it looked exactly like something out of Eyes Wide Shut.

"But then one of the organisers announced: 'The moment has come. The spell has begun' and everyone began kissing and having sex.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I think the entrance fee for the Bohemian Grove shindig might be a little bit higher ...

Although, thinking about having carnal relations with Henry Kissinger, GHW Bush, David Gergen etc ... Do you think they should pay US to show up?

with the onset of the 'gilded age' and all that that taught this crowd........and given our penchant for turning away from unseemly sights, like homelessness (legislation keeps them in check) maybe we can say we have truely entered the age of government sponsored and/or supported outright decadence........ which means this decade needs a spiffy label!

of course, decade might not be long enough............
