Berlin Gets Ready For Twin Sex Festivals

Do you live in Berlin--or wish you did? For the next two weeks, your answers should be "Yes," because that city is about to become the sexy time European capital of the world. Thursday is the opening of the Venus Trade Fair, which is sort of like the AVN Expo for people who don't gamble. It's mostly for companies to sell things to each other, but it is open to the public and honest-to-goodness pornstars will be there. Which is the perfect setup for the following week's Porn Film Festival. It's four days of porn the way it was meant to be seen--in another language with a crowd of intellectual European film snobs. Actually, where else you can see "The Doll Underground" and "Edward Penishands" on the same day? Ich bin ein intrigued!
