All sensualists in Berlin

Berlin is a truly unique city, embracing a sort of love and freedom like nowhere else in the world. In this atmosphere, the sex scene thrives, and whilst Berlin is famous for its BDSM and fetish clubs, there are so many soft-edged sensual experiences in the city too. Here's our run down.

Must-do experience: Kink parties.

Book it on Sensuali: Hypno-Shibari sessions with Hands of Eros.

Did you know that? Nudity in the Parks! Berliners are famously comfortable with public nudity, and it’s totally normal to see people sunbathing nude in popular parks like Tiergarten. Known as Freikörperkultur or FKK, this “free body culture” embraces naturalism and body positivity.

Perfumed sensory journeys: Berlin’s niche perfumeries like Harry Lehmann offer a seductive journey for the senses, letting you create a custom scent to match your mood. In this old-world, atmospheric store, you can choose from sensual notes like amber, oud, and leather, creating a perfume that’s one of a kind.

Hypno-Shibari session: Blending the spiritual with the spicy is Hands of Eros, the Hypno-Shibari artist and soft Dom who provides intimate rope bondage sessions. Only in Berlin!

Erotic cinema: Step into Sinema Erotik, Berlin’s only cinema dedicated to alternative and erotic films. With a focus on independent and sensual cinema, this venue hosts events that combine film screenings with live performances, making it a one-of-a-kind way to experience sensual art.

Erotic art: Explore Berlin’s gritty yet passionate art scene at Urban Spree, a gallery that highlights local street artists, erotic photographers, and experimental multimedia. Exhibits here often blur the lines between sensuality, identity, and the body, creating an intimate and bold experience.

Templehof Park sunset picnics: Berlin’s famed Tempelhof Park, a former airport, is now a place where people can relax, picnic, and enjoy an open, free-spirited atmosphere. As the sun sets, bring a bottle of wine and settle down with a view of the expansive skies—there’s a sense of adventure and quiet intimacy here that’s distinctly Berlin.

Candle-lit sound baths: Experience total relaxation at The Mind Palace, Berlin’s sanctuary for sound meditation. Their candle-lit sound baths, where guests can lie down and listen to resonant gongs and bowls, are a deeply sensual way to reconnect with yourself.

Intimate erotic poetry evenings: For something more soft spoken, erotic performer and facilitator, Pauline Marie-Antoinette hosts erotic poetry nights as well as private workshops and tantric experiences. Whether alone or with a partner, Pauline's experiences create a uniquely intimate space to reach deeper levels of connection. 

Play parties: No sensual guide to Berlin is complete without a play party. The obvious go-to is the world-famous KitKat. Known globally for its boundary-pushing atmosphere, this club is a celebration of freedom, where guests are encouraged to dress down and express themselves fully. Other specific events are Pinky Promise and Naked Tea Party.

Private BDSM: Not into the party scene? We get it, sometimes it's nice to have a bit of privacy. Due to the heavy fetish scene in Berlin, there are plenty of kink practitioners you kind book a private play session. One of our favourites is Mistress Beate, who you can book a session with on Sensuali.
