1. Pornfilmfestival Berlin
The Pornfilmfestival, now in its 19th edition and the only one of its kind in Germany, focuses on sexuality, politics, feminism, and gender issues. Alongside the films, the program includes panel discussions, lectures, readings, workshops, performances, and exhibitions, all exploring contemporary perspectives on sexuality. If you were wondering, the films are not "pornos," and most have interesting subjects, like Acsexybility (trailer), which is about people with disabilities in Brazil discussing sex and sexuality. The program.

Restaurant Review:
KINK Bar & Restaurant (⭐4/5)
KINK is a famous restaurant on the higher end, with an average cost of around €90 per person, including drinks. The food was great. However, the service was very disappointing. Like many other upscale, "too cool for you" places, the staff were arrogant. When we chose a bottle of wine for €70, their sommelier said: “This is a good wine for a low budget,” which was rude. Nevertheless, the food and location are good.
