It’s consistently recognized as the largest erotic festival on the globe, this massive sex-oriented trade show features exhibits from over 230 erotic vendors plying their wares, along with an erotic jewelry boutique. The casual atmosphere at this festival makes it perhaps the ultimate pickup spot for those taking in the sights, sounds and couplings at the shows. To give you an idea of celebrity entertainment at Erotica, music for this one was supplied by Torture Garden, among others, with annual attendance figures normally ranging from 50-100K depending on the year.
And now, for something completely different…here are five more that didn’t quite make the cut, but are still definitely worthwhile.
- Mardi Gras. Technically it’s not a sex festival, but don’t tell that to the thousands of college students who flock to New Orleans in February with the goal of having sex with someone they’ve never met.
- Carnival Rio Di Janeiro. Think of this one as a South American cousin of Mardi Gras. Held 46 days before Easter, Carnival is attended by about 4 million people, many of whom engage in random sexual activities with one another of which their mothers probably wouldn’t approve.
- Eroticon. Leave it to the Poles to put on the dirty step cousin to Comicon. Held for four days in Warsaw and sponsored by Pink Press, this festival features the World Sex Championships (we were afraid to ask), and the mayor of Warsaw once threatened to prosecute the sponsors under the general charge of procuring women.
- Sextival. Held in hangar at the port of Tel Aviv, this show was an effort to buck the generally conservative attitudes of the Israelis toward sex. The Playboy bunnies who were guests at the show were deluged with autograph requests, so in that sense it seems to have worked.
- Kanamara Matsuri. Held during the spring in the city of Kawasaki, the name of this event translates as Festival of the Steel Phallus. Need we say more? Thankfully, it actually raises money for HIV research, believe it or not.
