We make time for work, eating and exercise, but why don’t we take our Erotic Lives just as seriously?
Even in normal times, most of us don’t give the attention to our Erotic Life that we could. We learn nothing about it in school and society generally looks upon it with suspicion. Too rarely do we give ourselves permission to explore our Desires and Pleasures with Intention. Too rarely do we to allow ourselves to be curious.
For anything to change in this part of our lives, we need to make the time and space for it. Once you do, a whole new world opens up!
Do you miss feeling butterflies? Do you miss playing with others? Are you feeling a bit shut down at the moment?
Don’t worry. Nearly everyone is.
The EL Summer Solstice Festival is a day to CELEBRATE who we are as erotic beings and the diversity and richness of erotic connection. There will be a program of workshops, installations, ceremonies and play party.

What people are saying about Erotic Living
“I have been coming to Erotic Living events since 2017, each time has given me ways be a better person - to myself and to others - not only in the erotic space, but in all aspects of my personal and professional life. I will be coming for many years to come and wish I had these opportunities given to me as a young woman.”
Kim McBurnie, Sydney
“I write this testimonial a day after The Festival of Erotic Living and I feel alive, refreshed, satisfied and hungry all at the same time. The world doesn't have an environment to discuss our needs and fantasies, but the safe space created here means you are not judged, in fact it is encouraged.”
VJ Raju Dorai about the most recent EL Festival on November 1, 2020, Sydney
“We had a great day and found it pitched at the right level. Tastefully run without being overtly sexual. There were many tips on communication that we’ve taken away and practice now. We’ll certainly be back for more so thanks for a great day.”
