How many times have you woken up wet from a wild sex dream? How many times in your intimate relationships have you had the courage and trust to share your dirtiest fantasy? Can you share the one sexual act you can’t wait to do but are embarrassed to talk about – what will your partner think?

Admit to it or not, we are all sexual beings who not only have an ardent need and desire for sex, but we want to be able to completely express ourselves in the act, without being judged.

Any sexual inhibitions you might be dealing with will go for a toss when you visit Spain’s International Erotica Festival, which this year is being held in Madrid instead of Barcelona, from June 26-28. The location change is a result of the organizers wanting to give the show a significant facelift: new format, larger space; the presence of a wider audience and the ability to accommodate more gente–over 50,000 people attended the festival last year.

Every day from 5pm-5am there will be live erotic shows, lingerie shows, hardcore porn, sadomasochism, gay sex and orgies, all performed by 150 international porn stars. For additional lubrication, there’s also a Club Bizarre area – “only for those who will understand” and ongoing “fetish” parties.

The festival also serves as a platform to promote the latest porn films as well as provide a space for erotic art where you will see provocative XXX photos, images, graphics, animations, and sculptures. Reasons enough to go, no? Come on, you know you want a peek!

The idea behind the festival is to normalize and encourage the acceptance of pornography as an important part of life, with a variety of acts demonstrated under the pretext that almost nothing in sex is disgusting, or should be forbidden. Maybe an ideal opportunity to open your mind and widen your sexual horizons?

So whether you want that once in a lifetime opportunity to work in the porn industry, participate in a “gang-bang”, present yourself to cast in a XXX film, or just watch some live action purely out of curiosity, this festival would be a screaming and fulfilling opportunity.

Have a home porn video stashed away somewhere? Maybe now is your chance to polish it up and submit it for the festival’s short porn film competition. All submissions must be 30-minutes long and submitted by May 20 – a bit short on time, but you might just be able to make it, otherwise you can always participate by voting for your favorite film and porn site.

Of course, other than the live action, the festival will be a one-stop-shop for everything erotic: clothes, to sex-toys and sex-dolls, DVD’s, aphrodisiacs, make-up, books, and anything else sexual.

Prices have not been revealed yet, and the venue Sala Fabrik is in the outskirts of the city – but not to worry, rumor is that regular bus services will be organized from the center.
