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 teeming with nerve endings and sensitivity. Socially, the face carries a lot of emotional weight. We use it to communicate, we try to control it, and some of us cover it with makeup and/or styled facial hair. And our mouth is this fascinating gateway to our inner self, 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 the WINTA JAM!
SHIBARI BASICS FLOORWORK: CREATIVITY & PLAY
This workshop—which, when combined with the Intro Day, is suitable for beginners—focuses more intently on the diverse creative and playful possibilities of rope bondage. Ropes on the body and the shapes they create are, in themselves, a unique experience and aesthetically intriguing. 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.

Rope Bondage for Beginners. On this day, we’ll provide an easy and playful introduction for beginners, as well as a refresher for those who have already taken a beginner’s course and want to brush up on their skills. The focus will be on the basics of Japanese-style rope bondage.

FILIPPA FRICK: HAPTOLOGY - EXPLORATIONS OF TOUCH, INTENTION & INNER ATTITUDE
Can you feel me? Can you sense me? – The tactile and haptic sensibility of our bodies keeps us in a tangible connection with our surroundings—and with ourselves—throughout our lives and without interruption. Touch is essential, vital, and fundamental to who we are and what we are, and to how we encounter the world and other beings within 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, lethargy, 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 seemingly simple idea that “no means no and only yes means yes” often turns out to be trickier than it seems…
