6th Wonderlust Festival
31/5-2/6/2019
Suvilahti,Helsinki
COME AND BE SEEN
Seen in all your glory, in the fierceness of your desire, in the tenderness of your need for connection. Who do you want to be? We all have multiple selves hidden within – let them all out to play. Donning on someone else’s role is a liberating act, one of defiance. What if you wouldn’t need to be this one person every day of your life?
Creative sex is not only about learning new skills, it’s also about reinventing who you can be, for yourself and your partners. This year, Wonderlust offers a safer space to perform, to try out different roles, to bask in the spotlight. Together, let's discover the multitudes within.

About Wonderlust
Wonderlust is a festival celebrating diverse and conscious sexuality. Bringing together queers and straights, sex activists and curious neophytes, kinks and shy ones, Wonderlust serves as
a hub for a diverse community. It also invites those, who haven’t considered being part of a sex festival before.
​
While the highly sexualized mainstream culture generates glossy ready-made forms of sexual behavior, we focus on questioning and exploration, a DIY approach, the joy of self-actualization and finding what is truly ours.
​
Wonderlust is one of its kind in Northern Europe. It promotes an open attitude towards all forms and kinds of sexuality, creates
a fleeting and flirting community and builds an open, free-spirited environment for sharing and learning something new. After five sold-out festivals and an award from the Finnish Association for Sexology for promoting sexual well-being, Wonderlust continues to be a creative platform for sex-positive revolution. In June 2019, the festival takes over two venues in Suvilahti with a program of workshops, parties and talks.
​
Wonderlust 2019 is created by Essi Aittamaa, Julius Elo, Jenna Jauhiainen, Kasper Kamppuri, Helena Mäkinen, Eva Neklyaeva, Jarkko Partanen, Marius Poenar, Anni Puolakka and a band of passionate volunteers.

What they said about us:
“Wonderlust offered something that the Finnish field of sexuality had been lacking; relaxed, hilarious, lightly informative and brave celebration of sex.” –The Finnish Association for Sexology (FIAS), in their the celebration speech of Valopilkku Award
​
“What stayed with me was how approachable the organisers and volunteers were, and how they were hanging out amongst the visitors. It left the impression that the festival is not commercial and something that is organised out of enjoyment”. –Saku 21
​
“This is the only place for vanilla and kinksters alike, with no special preference on gender or sexual orientation.” –M.P.
​
“The play party was one of the most unforgettable events I’ve ever attended!” –Kinkykallio
​
“Wonderlust is something that empowers me, gives me hope as well as food for thought for the rest of the year. It’s a shame it doesn’t happen more often.” –Ida
