MOUTH MASSAGE: (AN)OTHER PENETRATION
When was the last time someone really paid attention to your mouth... during a massage? Physically, the mouth and face are full of nerve endings and are highly sensitive. Socially, the face carries a lot of emotional weight. We use it to communicate, we try to control it, and some people cover it with makeup and/or styled facial hair. And our mouth is this fascinating gateway to our inner selves, a deliciously wet cave with…

WINTA JAM ZURICH – SHIBARI AT SERRAT(U)S – with a Newbie Intro
Rope bondage is for everyone! However, that hasn’t necessarily been the case at our usual Bondage Jam so far, because things there often end up being quite conventional and heteronormative—and that certainly doesn’t suit everyone. That’s why we’re hosting theWINTA BONDAGE JAM!
SHIBARI BASICS FLOORWORK: CREATIVITY & PLAY
This workshop—which, when combined with the Intro Day, is suitable for beginners—focuses more on the diverse creative and playful possibilities of rope bondage. Ropes on the body and the shapes they create are, in and of themselves, a unique experience and aesthetically interesting. We want to take it a step further by exploring the creative and emotional potential of power dynamics and sharpening our presence in the creation of playful scenes.

FILIPPA FRICK: HAPTOLOGY - EXPLORATIONS OF TOUCH, INTENTION & INNER ATTITUDE
Do you feel me, sense me...? – The tactile and haptic sensibility of our bodies keeps us in a tangible connection—throughout our lives and without interruption—with our surroundings—and with ourselves. Touch is essential, vital, and fundamental to who we are and what we are, and to how we engage with the world and the other beings in it. Yet as central as it is to our identity and our coexistence with other people, in our everyday consciousness it usually appears more as a necessity—to achieve a goal, fulfill a formality, or bring about a result.

@ FUCKFAIR BERN - READING: "NOT GIVING A FUCK"
How can we shake off the pressure to have normal, good, and great sex? What all tempts us to say “yes” when we might not even feel like saying “yes”? How do we listen to our bodies when they react with a lack of desire, stress, fatigue, tension, or numbness? Why are we more likely to ask why someone isn’t having sex or doesn’t want to, rather than asking why someone is having sex or wants to? …
@ FUCKFAIR BERN - INSTALLATION: IS THIS CONSENSUAL OR WHAT
At the “fuck fair” festival on sexual consent, Beata and Matís are presenting the interactive installation “Is this consensual or what?” Through various questions and case studies, the installation gently explores the gray areas of consent. Sex, emotions, bodies, relationships, and desire are ambivalent. That’s why the concept of “no means no, and only yes means yes”—which sounds simple at first—often turns out to be more complicated…
