How to spend a sensual weekend in L.A.

What if you could spend a weekend in Los Angeles guided not by Yelp or Google Maps, but by three of the city’s most intriguing sensual experts?

Meet your weekend curators:

GG Sauvage – LA’s own “West Coast Carrie Bradshaw,” known for her sharp sex writing and queer creative lens.
KnotSnacks – A sought-after rope artist crafting intimate, movement-led experiences in shibari and kinbaku.
Sophia Domina – Dominatrix, performer, and producer of LA’s most magnetic kink and ritual parties.

Each known for their unique approach to pleasure, kink, and erotic energy, we asked them to share their very favourite spots for a sexy and indulgent 48 hours in the City of Angels.

Table Of Contents

PLAY

Where to have some intimate fun – solo, partnered, or somewhere in between.

  • Sophia Domina’s Boudoir Soirée
    ‘An intimate night of sensuality and play. My monthly private parties are for kinksters of all types with a focus on female pleasure. Featuring Topless Tarot, The Goddess Bath, BDSM demos, and an open bar.’  Sophia Domina

  • Devil Mask Studio Rope Jam 
    ‘A community-led, low-pressure space to explore rope in a social setting. Grounding, welcoming, and surprisingly sensual. Perfect for first-timers or curious returners.’  Knotsnacks
  • Sweven
    ‘Not just a sex party, but something far more layered: immersive kink events created by women, for women and femmes.’  Sophia Domina

  • Torture Garden LA
    ‘LA’s biggest and most iconic fetish ball. Elaborate looks, wild energy, and a truly anything-goes attitude.’ Sophia Domina

 

DO

Move your body, explore your senses, and soak up LA’s sensual energy.

  • Griffith Park Barefoot Hike
    Walk around Griffith Park near the Greek Theatre (stop by the observatory if you’re into space stuff). People forget that LA has it’s own “Central Park” full of wildlife and to me smelling the pine trees, feeling the dirt on my feet (I often hike barefoot to ground and connect to Earth) is very sensual.’ GG Sauvage
  • K Spa (Olympic Spa or Wi Spa)
    ‘Visit a K Spa and get your body scrubbed & rubbed! Enough said. I love Olympic Spa which is women-only, but there’s also an all-gendered one called WiSpa.’ GG Sauvage

  • The Pleasure Chest
    ‘Date night idea: Go toy shopping at LA’s cutest kink shop, right in the heart of queer West Hollywood.’ Sophia Domina
  • Bike, Skate, or Rollerblade the Strand
    ‘Roller Skate/Skateboard/Rent a Bike along the strand from Venice to Santa Monica – moving the body, feeling the sun, the sand, the breeze from the Ocean. YUM.’ GG Sauvage

  • Akbar
    ‘Go dancing at Akbar (LGBTQIA+ bar with a designated dance floor and incredibly good vibes)’ GG Sauvage

 

TASTE

Dinner dates, street eats, and sexy spots to sip and flirt.

  • Bacari Silverlake
    ‘Dine in a cozy treehouse for the ultimate romantic date night. Featuring live music several nights a week.’ Sophia Domina

  • Night Market Song
    ‘Eat at Night Market (Thai street food) – the flavors explode in your mouth…and who doesn’t love things that explode in their mouth?! 😉GG Sauvage

  • Figaro Bistrot
    ‘Great French food with even better people watching from the sidewalk tables. Walk to The Dresden for a dirty martini after dinner.’ Sophia Domina

WATCH

Sensual performances, dreamy visuals, and a little old-school glamour.

  • The Dresden
    ‘Rat pack era jazz lounge featured in that iconic “Swingers” scene.’ Sophia Domina
  • Jumbo’s Clown Room
    ‘Burlesque/Strip with the most acrobatic (literally ballerinas and beyond) performers – it looks so unassuming and is in a strip mall type parking lot, but it’s the most talent inside and such a small, intimate environment.’ GG Sauvage

  • Petite Ermitage 
    ‘Members club and hotel featuring sultry and intimate beat poetry burlesque performances by local legend Toledo every Friday night. You’ll be shoulder to shoulder with LA’s hottest art and music lovers. Lounge poolside under the stars afterwards.’ Sophia Domina

  • Leather & Rose
    ‘Exclusive speakeasy for members only to enjoy intimate jazz nights, psychedelic watch parties, and more with an open bar and an attached cafe for more vanilla happenings.’ Sophia Domina

  • UCB Comedy
    ‘See a comedy show at the theatre I came up in! Laughing is sexy.’ GG Sauvage
