Now in its eighth year, WHOLE Festival invites more than 30 international queer collectives, such as Pornceptual, Herrensauna and Gegen, to celebrate some iconic style choices alongside rhythmic techno and house. It’s a must-attend event for the queer scene.

Xplore Berlin
FESTIVAL This experimental, avant-garde event format was founded in Berlin in the early 2000s by Felix Ruckert and has since expanded internationally. At its centre is an idea of a ‘magical space’: a safe environment for free self-expression, emotional openness and conscious connection. There’s no schedule, no workshop lists, no fixed routines. Instead, a living labyrinth of time emerges, inviting participants to let go of control and expectations. Participants move freely through spaces that remain open at all times, from open play areas to immersive installations to collective processes designed by around 20 artists and kink educators.
- Malzfabrik, July 31-August 2, details
AUG 7
Four Play
When this party started more than nine years ago, every single kink party was all-black everywhere. Four Play encouraged everyone to embrace colour in their outfits, and they can take a lot of credit for spreading this vibe to other parties. The parties are legendary too, with people in the scene regarding it as perhaps the premier party in the KitKatClub calendar.

Drink and Draw: Fetish Sketching
ART Nude painting expresses the beauty of the body while conveying emotions, vulnerability and strength. The nude can serve to challenge norms and taboos, inviting the viewer to think beyond the physical and explore deeper levels of the self. At the next Drink and Draw, a model from Berlin’s fetish scene will take centre stage. Bring your own supplies or use what the studio provides. The workshop is facilitated by Felix Scheinberger, will be in German and open to all skill levels, from beginners to professionals.

WET DREAM MINI FESTIVAL By THE CODE x VERBOTEN
It might have started in London, but we know that Berlin is Klub Verboten’s spiritual home. Since coming here in 2021, Klub Verboten has quickly carved out its place as one the city’s best kink events. This self-described ‘pro-pervert’ party has a focus on fetish, BDSM and, above all else, consent and safety. They have a well-trained safeguarding team on hand to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. Klub Verboten is perhaps better suited to more experienced perverts than first-timers, but everyone is welcome, so familiarise yourself with the excellent rules section on their website and make a date.
- Storkower Str. 123, 15:00, details
Kinktastisch
Insomnia is Berlin’s foremost sex club and offers a tailor-made environment for sexual adventure. It’s open seven nights a week, with events ranging from those exclusively for sex to ones that also put a focus on clubbing and dancing. If you’re new to this space, Kinktastisch is the ideal event for dipping your toes in, as it offers the perfect mix of play and party. All fetishes and genders are welcome, and each event features special performances, toy tryout areas and DJs. There is also a safety team of ‘unicorns’ that are on hand to help keep things safe and consensual and give guidance where needed. The dress code is broadly kink wear, so you can express yourself in whatever you feel most comfortable.

PRNCPTL: 13 Years Anniversary
CLUB Pornceptual is reaching its teenage years. Turning 13 this summer, this artistic pornography movement turned party series has allowed for so many hot and heavy nights over the years, but it will all culminate in their party this August. It will be as carefully curated as always – queer, body positive and lots of fun. As usual, consent is paramount, as is a kinky dress code, so stock up on your lace, leather and latex in advance.

Torture Garden
Beginning in London in 1990, Torture Garden is now the world’s largest fetish club with parties held around the globe. Six years ago, it landed in Berlin and quickly became a firm favourite on the kinky calendar. Uniquely, TG has always championed the misfit and provides a space where anyone’s fantasy can become a reality. Just go hard with the outfit or you might not get in. Typically, parties centre around a theme, so let your imagination go wild. If in doubt, look at their website to see what’s not allowed, or better still, use their Pinterest board for inspo.
