1. Sexpo, Australia
Let’s start with our own popular sex event- Sexpo, an event that happens in different sates at different times of the year. Despite the catchy name, Sexpo (The Sexuality and Adult Lifestyle Exhibition) is pretty much sex fest light; the event features amateur strip tease, professional pole dancing, and naughty hypnotists, as well as some of the biggest adult film stars in the biz. Hundreds of exhibitors peddle the latest and greatest in kinky toys.
2. Exotic Erotic Ball (October, San Francisco, California.)
This festival is probably not one of the biggest but is one of the wildest. It has turned San Francisco into the world’s biggest pre-Halloween party. It has a reputation for glitz, amazing costumes and some of the craziest sex shows and performances you’ll ever see.
3. Kinky Copenhagen (October, Copenhagen, Denmark)
The Danes turned the kink up a notch with this festival. The intent here is to explore the world of BDSM, fetishes and unusual sexual behaviours. Also, if you’re into body art, piercings and other “modifications,” this is the festival to get your bodywork done or updated.
4. Folsom Street Fair (September, San Francisco, California)
