Return of the Sexual Freedom Awards

Tickets for the 28th annual Sexual Freedom Awards are now available. The event takes place on 2nd May 2024 at Bush Hall, Shepherds Bush, London, and a portion of the proceeds from every ticket sale goes towards the Outsiders Trust.

The Sexual Freedom Awards recognise excellence in erotic performance and sexual services and celebrate pioneers in the field of sexuality. Award categories span from publicists, to strippers, to activists, and new categories are introduced each year to reflect changes in society. Winners receive a Golden Flying Penis Trophy, hand-carved for the event in Bali.

First introduced in 1994 by Dr Tuppy Owens, the aim of the Sexual Freedom Awards is to counter negative messages in the media about people working in sex and eroticism and to fund the work of the Outsiders Trust, the first organisation in the UK to champion and support every disabled person’s right to be educated about sex and sexual health and to have lives that include the choice to have sexual relationships or simply enjoy erotic experiences.

Hosting the evening will be the presenter of the podcast Pleasure Rebels and Hot Octopuss’ creative director, disability and inclusion lead Kelly Gordon, who commented: “I am absolutely honoured to be invited back to host the Sexual Freedom Awards. It’ll be my third time hosting and it is an event I look forward to every year. Oftentimes people assume that disabled people are asexual, and that disabled people don’t date or wish to have intimate relationships. Even in 2024 there are still so many barriers to pleasure for us all (not just disabled people) and working alongside the Sexual Freedom Awards to raise not only awareness but also funds for the Outsiders trust is so, so important.”
