Though music festivals like EDC and Coachella dominate popular culture, there are many multi-day concerts held all over the world. Given that sex is part of the experience and a primary reason some people make the trip, it’s reasonable to deduce that events held outside of the US are probably pretty wild.
Between winning both the Super Bowl and World Series every year, Americans just don’t have time to be as sexually progressive as less athletic countries such as England.
While it may not be the best country for being caught with a butter knife on CCTV, the English people are among the world’s most accepting of sexuality and alternative lifestyles. This is made evident by the sexual ferocity of their music festivals.
Flamefest is a “kink rave festival” held in the town of Tunbridge Wells in western Kent, England. It’s an affluent town with a number of businesses that would normally be excited about the influx of visitors and money that a music festival generates. That is until they heard about all the sex going on in the woods, then they were kind of pissed.
Tucked in the Brokes Woods just outside of town, Flamefest was assumed to be a standard festival for electronic dance music enthusiasts. Unbeknownst to the residence of Tunbridge Wells, however, the event was also to gather “the purest, most hedonistic elements of the party scene” including fetishists and the people who like to get weird.
Along with the usual musical performances and casual drug use were outdoor sex dungeons and other “adult playgrounds.” Given that regular festivals quickly turn into casual sex conventions, Flamefest managed to cause quite a stir with all of its loud music and outdoor fucking.
Left feeling both shocked and appalled, many residents were left with no other recourse than to furiously complain to local politicians.
According to councilor Dianne Hill, the complaints weren’t so much because people are prudes about outdoor sex and bass drops, they were just unaware of what was happening. She explained that while event organizers had all the proper permits and permissions, they never told the city what exactly would be going on. After all, what part of a “kink rave festival” says anything about people having sex and playing loud music?
Festival organizers responded to the criticism by saying Flamefest was a private event and no sex acts were visible to the public. Whatever people heard was simply the music and festivities that they were permitted for. The fact that that a bunch of consenting adults had sex in the woods during the event is an unavoidable consequence of encouraging a bunch of kinky, rave-loving music fans to camp out for the weekend.
Sounds reasonable to me.
