I'm trying to imagine a cringier situation than a druggy sex party full of industry people. Try chilling with artists, musicians, chefs, teachers, dog walkers, anything but tech people. The mutual discovery of each other's worlds is really hot, and it minimizes the chance of ever being in a work meeting with someone where we need to pretend we haven't seen each other naked.

Artists are very cringy. A lot of musicians are cringy. Some teachers are cringy. Not sure about chefs or dog walkers.

My experience with chefs: Lots of fun to party with. Terrible neighbors. In general, do not date, or at least be cautious. (Based on a low sample size.)

Dog walkers: Can be lots of fun to party with. Terrible band mates. In general, do not date, or at least be cautious. (Based on a low sample size.)

Also cringey

chefs tend to be a bit on edge and drug use is rife as is extreme bullying.

At least they wouldn't have to "pretend [they] haven't seen each other naked."

After all, what well-adjusted adult would consider it a normal hum-drum part of life to interact with previous sexual partners in work situations? /s

If you hang around investment bankers long enough you'll hear some stories.

I've heard similar stories about the GPO/BT going back years - though the one where they had to break open a remote rural building and found evidence of satanic rituals :-) apparently it was the dismembered chickens not the pentagrams that wa the real squick factor.
