🍑 WHAT THE HELL IS AN ASSFEST? 🍑

ASSFEST is the Australian School of Sexuality Festival. We're in our third year, this is our third festival & we are expanding gloriously...

ASSFEST is a celebration of sex positive culture, a convergence of educators, performers & representatives of the various Erotic Arts coming together to share knowledge, with each other & with you. It's an immersion into intersections of consent, relating, intimacy, embodiment, kink & sacred sexuality.

​You'll meet other curious explorers & experienced guides, learn new skills, & have a weird & wild adventure that just might crack open your heart & soul.
