Last weekend Berlin once again burned in the name of lust. From September 25 to 28, the Venus 2025 took place, the largest erotic fair in the world. Of course, we were there for the Deviance community to take a look around and see what was new, exciting, and surprising.
First of all, we were positively surprised and genuinely delighted by how strongly kink and BDSM were represented. At Venus the topic was presented completely naturally as something playful, creative, and beautiful. As always, the scene had its own hall with a firm place, and it was not only present but visibly celebrated. That is what we want to highlight before we take you through the show’s highlights.
On the “Kinky Venus,” as the hall was called, we first met the usual suspects. Weppy was there and presented sparkling new items alongside the well-known high-quality wooden dildos, including glittering canes that immediately caught the eye. Numerous Dominas were also present, as well as fashion brands like Subused and Lisa Majun, which filled the fair with glamorous and shiny outfits. On stage there was a varied show program, ranging from whip demonstrations to fashion shows and performance art.
KinkyFans: streaming with a fetish focus
A real crowd magnet was KinkyFans, who were also nominated for the Venus Award. The concept is reminiscent of OnlyFans but stands out because the focus is consistently on fetish and BDSM. While other platforms cover a wide range of adult content, KinkyFans offers a clear space for the kinky community. In addition to content, live streams, and private streams, there is one more special feature: the integrated shop function. This means creators can sell their own products and fetish items directly through the platform. This sets a new standard that is so far unique and made the platform an absolute highlight for many visitors.
Furniture, darkrooms, and an (almost) real prison
There were some exciting projects in the furniture section. X-Design particularly impressed us with their detailed and very “practical” beds. Another highlight came from outside: the Warsaw Prison. Yes, you read that right, a prison. About 15 minutes from the center of the Polish capital, you can experience real prison games and sessions there. No wonder the booth was constantly surrounded by cameras.
Health comes first. Even at Venus 2025
A less sexy but all the more important area was the topic of health. Booths such as EveryHealth presented new and simple methods for STD tests. The kits are designed to be easy and affordable to use from home, a step that makes the scene not only safer but also more accessible.
Our Venus 2025 conclusion: kinky, creative, and full of inspiration
In the end, Venus 2025 showed how colorful, playful, and diverse kink is lived today. From glitter canes to detailed furniture to platforms like KinkyFans that rethink fetish and streaming, the fair was a showcase full of ideas and inspiration. For us it was exciting to see how naturally BDSM, fetish, and kinky lifestyle had their place here. That is exactly what we wanted to share with you. And we are sure it won’t be the last time.
