PLEASURE TRIP

How to enjoy yourself, the continental way

Sex workshops tend to bring to mind mortifying fellatio lessons and lubed-up bananas. That or tantric sessions with a heavy-breathing bloke who looks like he fell out of 1972. But now, thanks to a range of hip events in Europe, sex workshops are back – and they’re about pleasing yourself. Berlin-based collective Feel Free hosts regular self-love brunches where women are encouraged to discuss their experiences, while Amsterdam’s Power To The Pussy workshops combine masturbation education with chocolate tastings.
