WHAT THE HELL IS AN ASSFEST?

 

 

Know there's more to sex but not sure where to start?

​

Having trouble communicating your boundaries & desires?

​

Got a complicated relationship with your body & want to welcome more pleasure into your life?

​

Got some freaky fantasies & curious to start exploring them?​

​

We got you boo. We've designed our Melbourne ASSFEST to be a choose your own adventure, a space of infinite possibility unique to you. You can go deep (hehe) or you can just pop in for an afternoon and learn some cool tricks. 

​

ASSFEST is a celebration of sex positive culture, a convergence of educators, performers

and representatives of the various Erotic Arts coming together to share knowledge, with each other and with you.

​

It's an immersion into intersections of consent, relating, intimacy, embodiment, kink and sacred sexuality.

We welcome diversity in our approach and forms held within a shared container

of rigorous ethics and personal accountability.

​

​You'll meet other curious explorers & experienced guides, learn new skills,

& have a weird & wild adventure that just might crack open your heart & soul.

We're all about that pleasure, but pleasure is political!

We're on a mission to spread sexual knowledge, combat shame and stigma, and facilitate a shift in culture.

We dream of a world in which we understand our bodies, own our sovereignty and claim our pleasure.

​

Go on, take a bite...

A little knowledge never hurt anyone!

ACCESSIBILITY IS A CORE VALUE OF ASS.

 

We have three partially sponsored tickets available for folk experiencing financial difficulty / from disadvantaged communities. Please contact us directly to chat about accessing these tickets.

​

If you would like to sponsor a ticket for your community, get in touch!

This worked beautifully last year, allowing two more members of our community to attend. ​

​

PAYING FOR GOOD SEX

ETHICS & CAPITALISM

 

There's a whole complicated history and philosophy of erotic labour, but let's boil it down: our educators have amazing experience and skills. Sex is something people often don't want to invest in, because it's 'natural' and 'obvious'. But actually it's deeply complex, physically and emotionally. Sex is an art, and you too can become an artist.

​

Financial transparency and profit share are key principles of ASS.

Your ticket price ensures that our facilitators are paid fairly for their expertise, in an industry that is often undervalued.

Facilitator affiliate codes will be released after the close of Early Bird tickets - purchasing tickets with these codes will get you a tasty 10% discount AND your favourite educators will get a bigger piece fo the pie!​​

​

SUPPORT & SPONSORSHIP

 

We welcome conversations about collaborations, allyship and support.
