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 De 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 activi-
ties 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 War-
saw 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 conserva-
tive 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? Thank-
fully, it actually raises money for HIV research,
believe it or not.
And now, for something completely different…here are five more that didn’t quite
make the cut, but are still definitely worthwhile.
