Kirsty Page provides a round-up of some of the best festivals around the world Kinky Copenhagen
gives her verdict on Tom I could see he felt the same way, until I realised his look of shock was mixed with delight the men in the crowd had given up hiding their joy! After a while you couldn’t help but laugh. The array of boobs become part of the show and only made the cheesy music more humorous - perhaps helped along by the empty bottle of Champagne. Was the Moulin Rouge the provocative show I’d imagined it to be? Definitely not. Could I see Nicole Kidman setting foot onto the small stage with her chest on display? I doubt it! On this occasion the typically sexy destination of Paris became one of great comic value, and one I’m sure Tom would recommend.
Berlin Love Parade July sees this historic city come alive with 1.5 million pleasure seekers who dance the night away to celebrate love, life and hedonism. With mottos including ‘Love is everywhere’, ‘Love 2 Love’, and ‘Live the Love’, this festival might be for those who just want to have fun without feeling the need to crack a whip every five minutes.
Nudes A Poppin’ Pageant Head to Indiana in July and August to witness America’s finest beauty competitors in the buff. Held in the Ponderosa Sun Club, the contestants partake in a series of exotic dancing and exhibitions while, of course, showcasing their intellectual abilities As they compete for the crown and title of Miss Nude you’re guaranteed far more than a promise for world peace.
Every October, the streets of Copenhagen fill with strippers clad in latex and leather, brandishing whips to embrace their sexual culture. Head to Denmark if you’re looking for more than just a pastry...
Kutemajrvi Sex Festival For the more academic, head to Finland this July to hear lectures on all aspects of sexuality from the professionals. You might just learn something new. Or if you’re a girl, enter the Afrodite contest and compete for this prestigious honour.
Hot d ‘Or Famous for its sophisticated film festival, Cannes holds another ceremony of a very different genre during May. Welcome to the Oscars of porn. With categories including Best Supporting actress, Best Adaptation and Best Screenplay, there’s sure never to be a dull moment at this festival.
