IRELAND- Ireland's first sex festival gets underway next week. The Bliss Festival, taking place in Dublin's Gresham hotel, will introduce attendees to tantric massage and bondage.
The festival's organiser, Beth Wallace, says she thinks Ireland is "ready for a festival about sex" - how right she is. She does go on to add, though, that: "It's not just all about sex shops and porn star"... damn it.
The line-up promises everything from BDSM (Bondage, domination, sadism and masochism and the metaphysics of sexual energy to 'playshops'.
The aim of the festival is apparently: "to bring together all the various aspects of our adult, sexual lives, in ways that acknowledge and respect". The idea is to: "create spaces where adults (over 18s) can gather to play with the ideas of these three concepts as a whole that specifically includes sensual, sexual and intimate relationship experience."
Now, before you get too excited about a whole weekend of sex-filled antics, the event will only last for one day. In another blow to the randy revellers, alcohol will not be allowed. The organisers say the 'social lubricant' is not necessary and would cause too many problems.
Tickets can be secured for €55 for standard ticket, but if you want just that little bit more you can splash out another €20 to get access to the Awakening The Senses Playshop, which for some reason includes dinner.
