Who is the Juicy Lab for?
In principle, the Juicy Lab is open to all people, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation and relationship forms, who want to research intimacy and the questions associated with it.
However, all those who do not find themselves in a cis-mono-hetero-binary-patriarchal (love) life – or who have critically analysed it and want to continue to do so – should feel especially invited to join.
Our focus is on strengthening the queer community.
So that you can assess whether the Juicy Lab is a suitable place for you, we will go into more detail below about who has been attracted to come so far.
If parts of your identity are underrepresented here, it doesn’t mean you’re not welcome. We just want you to know what you’re potentially getting into and be able to give your consent.
From experience, the Juicy Lab is a predominantly white, able-bodied space where many FLINTA*’s & allys are out and about, dreaming together of juicy revolution, raging utopias, sensual uprisings and collective care..
People who come from more political, left-wing fields, people who move more in therapeutic/self-experience bubbles, people who identify more or less with spirituality, beings of art and magic, as well as many who embody parts of all these fields and build community bridges. Some of the people already know each other and/or live together in a relationship, some are here for the first time, some come alone. The average age over the last few years has been around the mid-30s, with the majority of people coming from Germany and all speaking English.

From our experience, we know that it is not always easy for gay men to find somatic, consensus-based and politically mindful sex-positive spaces. We are happy for you to join us and design our programme to make you feel welcome – knowing that the Juicy Lab is not primarily designed to meet the needs of cis-male gay people.
The Juicy Lab is also open to non-queer identified cis men who are willing to engage with their privilege, take responsibility for each other and hold space. We create structures for learning together and are happy if you want to deepen your allyship and be part of this experience.
As a white, able bodied organisational team, we strive to actively address forms of discrimination. We want to reflect on and change our structures and continue to learn. If you are a marginalised person and would like to contribute a workshop, art or something else, or if you have specific needs, please get in touch and we will support you as much as we can.
Unfortunately, our current location has some barriers – you can find out more about this under Location.
We would also like to invite you to challenge any preconceptions you may have about what you need to be like to participate in this event:
Should you be free of jealousy, sexually outgoing or always open to contact? Pff, we ourselves are far away from that! But do you feel alive at the thought of coming to Juicy Lab, are you curious to explore the topics mentioned? Then take all that, your fears, your reluctance, your caution, your boundaries etc. with you and get involved with the event community and yourself at this point.
Oh, and one more thing: we love the queer community for their fabulous looks – but you don’t have to represent any particular style here! Wear what you feel comfortable in. Whether colourful, flashy, sexy, functional, classic or cosy – everything is welcome. Maybe you fancy trying out new outfits with the community wardrobe. Maybe you’ll be wearing sweat pants all weekend. Come as you are. .
