Below, check out six sexy experiences to explore in Europe…

1. House of Erika Lust – Barcelona, Spain

The award-winning indie adult filmmaker Erika Lust has created the world’s first interactive exotic experience — House of Erika Lust in Barcelona. The X-rated, choose-your-own-adventure utilizes technology, ERIKALUST cinema films, augmented reality, and virtual reality to allow patrons to explore their fantasies on a sexy multi-sensory adventure. Much like her films, the experience is sex-positive, portrays realistic hot sex, and focuses on female pleasure.

2. V Museum – London, United Kingdom

The V Museum is the first museum dedicated to the female reproductive system to dismantle the stigma around the vulva by turning shame into celebration. Since 2017, the London museum has been teaching guests all about the vulva. The museum challenges the heteronormative and cis-normative society by being firmly intersectional, feminist, queer, and trans-inclusive. Exhibitions have included an encyclopedia-style approach to the vulva, from A to V, and a detailed exhibit on menopause.

3. Icelandic Phallological Museum – Reykjavík, Iceland

Before there was a V museum, there was a P museum — and in none other than the extremely quirky country of Iceland, where it’s the most visited museum. The Icelandic Phallological Museum is the only museum in the world dedicated to penises. It has an astonishing collection of over 300 specimens from 120 mammal species.

4. The Pleasure Atelier – Paris, France

Paris is the city of (self) love thanks to the exclusive “The Pleasure Atelier: A Parisian Guide.” The self-pleasure masterclass is led by renowned French sexologist, Marie Morice. Through her work as a sex-positivity advocate, she helps women reclaim their feminine power. During the masterclass, students will join a private shopping experience at a porn-free sex shop, learn about the history of society’s perception of female pleasure in France, and partake in discussions on sensual desires and female sexual empowerment.

5. The Red Light District – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The sex worker-led nonprofit offers informative Walk ‘n Talks, a community-led walking tour that informs the public about the realities of the industry. The guides share the history of the neighborhood and their first-hand experiences working in the district, giving tourists a unique insider look into sex work in Amsterdam. 

6. KØN Gender Museum – Aarhus, Denmark

The KØN Gender Museum in Aarhus — about 98 miles away from Copenhagen — is dedicated to the evolving dynamics and history of gender in society. Exhibits explore identity, equality, body, relationships, and sexuality. For example, the “How Dare You – Gender, Struggle, and the Climate Crisis” exhibit honed in on how gender intersects with climate change, eco-anxiety, shame, activism, and action.

The “Protests and Slogans – Activist Banners from the Museum’s Collection” exhibition is a visual representation of the fight for gender equality through activist banners.
