Again after a year, I returned to the scene – my favorite one, the one I love to talk about, and the one I like to take my friends and acquaintances to = last time my mention in the report was caught by a friend who wanted to convince himself that “everyone should see this at least once in their life”. So he came with me. So I got him a press pass as my guest and off we went. 4 and a half hours in the car – more pleasant than the trains and buses of yore, but a more challenging journey.
In short: we’ve been going to Berlin VENUS since 2015 and this is the 7th time we’ve been there, so we can compare and evaluate. 🙂
Previous reports:
4 days full…
It’s the same 4-day event as before – Thursday through Sunday – we only visited on Saturday and Sunday, which are the heaviest in attendance, so there’s plenty to see. We’ve written this before in reports – it’s amazingly more beautiful at this event are the visitors (and attendees – I add honestly) than most of the performers (so porn actresses).
And that was confirmed this year too – I normally like about 2-3 of the 100 or so female professionals = mostly non-plastic (nothing), natural looking like a “friend next door”.
Main-event-of-the-year?
In Europe, this event is hyped and people flock here from all over = and when they go to an event this open and relaxed, they have a nice time. So even the models of the attendees/their partners are fantastic – and in the volume of tens of thousands of people that flow in over the 4 days, there is still plenty to enjoy.
Traditionally, this event takes place at the Berlin Messe (exhibition centre) – and again within 4 large halls (plus the foyer where the “hall of fame” is). To the left of the entrance are erotic toys, sexy lingerie, role-play costumes, … straight after the entrance is Kinky VENUS (a separate BDSM/fetish/kinky offshoot of the festival), to the right is a section dedicated to actresses and livechats.
And behind that is a large room with a stage for live performances = almost exclusively strips (solo or lesbi), you won’t find the classic heterosex here, as you won’t find at any event.
My inner ego always flowered when we could go into the VIP lounge with PRESS credentials and have a great view of the main tent and the action on it.
It’s a small thing, but it has delighted me every time we’ve gone through the entry check:)

My friend appreciated the fact that I had a real camera (editorial Canon 80D) = as soon as I wanted to take a picture of someone, it turned beautifully, the girls laughed and started posing = photography is a rewarding profession:) Immediately would like to learn to “take pictures” too = and I’m not saying I know how to do it, but when I have it in my hand, I just shoot what I can and always come out with some better pictures after selection.
Of the visitors, I was intrigued by the trio – obviously a married couple who were leashed by a younger and beautiful wife in a mask.
It wasn’t until later that I noticed she was pregnant = nice combination and living situation. Compared to last time, there were more (5?) visitors for whom the outfit was own nudity = sometimes a fine sight (how did they stand for so long? eh!), sometimes less so. But that’s part of it.
It was gratifying how open the space was, how many wheelchair users were there, how everyone moved them, made room for them to see, great.
Winner of evening VENUS Award(porn-scars-in-festival):
- Sirena Sweet
- Mina-Babe
- Sweet Gini
- Layla Von Hohensee
- Cat Coxx
- Tyra Ride
- Sabien de Monia
The main stars (ambassadors) this year were:
Micaela Schäfer, Anne Wünsche, Texas Patti, Lena Nitro, Anike Ekina, RoxxyX, and Diana Fetish.
Girls I’m personally-interested in:
- GianinaTS – probably the prettiest tranny in person
- 3 girls dancing at the Cam4 booth
- Ana – Lingus
There were definitely fewer booths with 1 act that were solo on their own (not part of a big brand), compared to earlier years.
By the way: PussyKat, NinaVegas, Lola Taylor, Mia, Bitch and more.
Not missing pornostudios-and-webs tags:
- My Dirty Hobby
- Visit-X
- Live Jasmin
- StripChat (VR)
- Bonga Cams
- EroticLounge
- Cherry.TV
- Brazzers
It was interesting to see first time presenters and “platforms” for creators – or competition for the well-established OnlyFans, which we’ve been following in a series of interviews with female actors (I’ll highlight the latest ones: LittleAxl699, Dva Ostraváci, Rubber Cindy, Renfri, Black. and +15 others)
They had LoyalFans (from sex chat Jasmin) and BestFans = typically with their promoters for photo shoots. This is a topic that’s definitely changing an entire segment of the porn industry, and I know we have this to expand on for the podcast as well.
Trends of the past years – livechats and VR were not so dominant here = in my opinion the market is realistically shifting to just “amateur” on-demand production = so OnlyFans, Patreon, … but we’ll see how the new generation of Oculus Meta Quest 3, coming at the end of the year, will shake things up with VR porn.
We’d definitely like to get one (though not just for “testing” virtual reality porn).
Kinky scene
Traditionally again downstairs and upstairs = downstairs a couple of stalls with BDSM paraphernalia, latex clothing, accessories and pants – and of course the main stage and Insomnia lounge (Berlin’s BDSM club). Upstairs, a domina box (see below) and this time a new section for the men’s Strip = probably to lure the vanilla event-goers into the Kinky section as well, thus teasing them a bit. 🙂
We caught the borderline performance right at the start – hard spanking of a finished transition (MtF = made a man a woman).
He had large fake breasts but an abandoned penis, so a combo of both worlds. The 4 dominants took turns on her, then immobilized her in a steel structure on stage, followed by dripping hot wax = both single blows on the back from the spanking, and on the back of the hand, as well as the exposed anus/cline = viciousness as usual.
But after experiencing Suka Off as part of the Prague Fetish Weekend, I was thankfully no longer surprised needle play with her nipples. We’re putting this in the 18+ section for the more hardened natures = also dripping wax on exposed genitalia. What made it all the more interesting was that she creally enjoyed it. But it was definitely the roughest performance in the years I’ve been going to VENUS.
Fred Kyrel was less easy on the eyes with his Fashion shibari = tying with shiny ropes and beads = visually beautiful and sexy, however his work earned him a cover photo last time for a report from Berlin.
The upper “Mistress lounge” – a bar for housewives and their live toys and animals – has had its charm for years.
There were naturally “visitor” events and spankings – for example, the rope-tied girl at the railing, who got barebacked for maybe 15 minutes, was fantastic = eventually she was untied in front of everyone and hugged and kissed. Aftercare and romance all in one. 🙂
A beautiful experience for everyone on the site. Seeing in their eyes how people were enjoying themselves, experiencing the situation (albeit completely under the influence of subspace) and looking you indirectly in the eye while someone else is… doing whatever to them. 🙂
It’s where you experience those full emotions and that’s why I like to go – to see live the openness, the alignment with oneself, …
You could always cut the atmosphere and I could easily spend the whole festival here. But I’m here on business, so I had to head to other sections = like looking for new toys.
A noticeable part of the shops here was taken up by purely Berlin-based makers of harnesses – fetish body harnesses, whether made of leather, latex, or PVC. Colour definitely came into play here, and something told us that the more prominent colour scheme was related to the new guidelines within the Kitkat Club = but more on that another time in the editorial podcast.
We must say hello here to the Czech creator of Angel Toys – leather reprimands, belt handcuffs, masks, … – we meet at several themed events and it’s always nice to hear Czech. 🙂 And the owner also had a spanking performance with a sub, right on stage, where the exceedingly good-looking gentleman showed a tasteful penchant for punishment. Good luck!
Toys-and-Sludges
There were countless of them on the site, but these caught our eye and we’ve either already tested them or we definitely will:)
Namely:
- Naturally Naughty – a ginger spray/massage oil from Berlin – we first discovered it last year at VENUS and have already tested it and fancy, we bought the second one and it’s waiting for us.
- Oh Holy Moly! – oils and gels with cannabis ingredients – like a liquid vibrator = “vibrates” beautifully on skin/mucous membranes = we will test!
- Fun Factory – brought both the new vibrating head Wim, and the new but womanizer = Mea (premium suction toy) – we’re looking forward to both, we’ll have them for editorial testing soon. And there was also the new realistic Grinder.
- EroWood and Weooy wooden dildos = classic shapes, but made of wood = we haven’t gotten tired of it visually yet = hope you don’t get a splinter in your… but it can’t be done, don’t worry. 🙂
- Tom of Finland – a new brand, primarily of toys for men – they had a controversial anal one too! A vacuum pump for rosebud (straightforward for health reasons – prolapse – we don’t want to test this in the editorial department).
- Ultra -fest realistic boobs for sissy/feminization (XX-DreamsToys) – something for editorial sissies, fantastic stuff, I wouldn’t know it from live when heated up, so wow,.
- Fucking chair with dummy design – an alternative to the classic fucking machine, this one has a nice built in seat.
- Mister Size– a new challenger to the established brand MY.Size = or condoms in all sizes (by mm) to fit you every time. We have a scale, we’ll let you know how it fits. 🙂
- EIS.de as the biggest sex shop with traditionally beautiful visuals – big stand, mainly with silicone pieces from Satisfyer.
Will you come next time too?
For us, it’s already a solid part of every year(when health/time permitting, perhaps – see earlier gaps) when we can go to beautiful Berlin for a few days and enjoy the peppery mood again.
And this time was no different – and in my opinion, better than last time.
We applaud the major investment in the space, especially in the main hall decor with the stage – the visuals on the walls, the split projection back wall, the cameras taking up the stage from above, … all did a fantastic service to the main stage.
Compared to last time, we saw more “visitor”frenzy in the Kinky VENUS hall, so everyone in attendance could enjoy themselves. Although this is not the real intention of the event = there are other play/kinky events for pigging/roaring.
And my escort was pleased, he saw more than he would have expected, than he often could have imagined, and he was definitely in the mood. 🙂 So it probably won’t be the last time he’ll be there.
And another time I will tell you about our next visit to Kitkat and Bergheim.:) It was a busy evening, although not as we expected!
