Meet the festival presenters, learn about verbal and body consent, and how best to navigate through the festival. 

There is no sex festival worthy of the name without dance, because dance is the royal road of eroticism and seduction. The workshop is a journey of body awakening and desire through dance.  

Pornography remains a very fraught topic in contemporary culture. And yet, despite its negative impacts, porn can still teach us a great deal about who we are as sexual beings and what turns us on. We are not all turned on by the same things. And many of us keep what turns us on secret. 

In this clothing-optional workshop we will experience what it is to slide over, around and on top of each other with massage oil. This workshop is a sensual, but not sexual experience. Everyone is invited to respect their own rhythm and limits to touch and nudity.

This workshop will explore physical and emotional safety in sex: risks in sexual encounters, conceptual tools to think about risk and health, steps you can take to protect yourself and others, testing regimes for STIs, the basics of good emotional boundaries and Q&A.

This Workshop focuses on "impact play" as a medium for sensory pleasure. We will navigate intimacy with in a power dynamic and explore the nuances of both giving and receiving impact, with a focus on the responsibility and intention that exist in both roles.

In this workshop, we will explore reading erotic poetry and literature to one another, exploring words with our minds and our bodies. Where do we feel a certain phrase in our bodies? What tone of voice excites us. What kind of writing do we enjoy listening to and hearing from others? What do certain kinds of touch feel like when alongside certain words? You will also be invited to explore your own erotic writing. Bring your imagination!

The Desire play party is a space where you will have the opportunity to take part in a curated experience, where you will be able to say how you are feeling and who or what you are looking for.
