On a small artificial lawn next to the Sex & Society stand, we find five girls each with a questionnaire. They are trying to hit 13 right answers.

"How long time does it take from you are infected with venereal warts until a break-out?" one of the girls reads. They look at each other; scratch their heads and each note down an answer. "The main prize is a dildo", Sasja Kalledsøe from Sex & Society says.

Safe sex and sexual freedom

If you stop by Sex & Society in Agora L, the competition is just of many activities you can take part in. "We would like to promote and focus on safe sex and sexual freedom", Sasja explains about the stand entitled 'Sexpress yourself'.
Among other things you can here win condoms and lubricants in the diaphragm-throwing-contest, tell a secret sex story in the Confession tent, get tips on sex in tents, or take a ride through the sexuality transformer.

Breaking and moving boundaries

Anders Christensen has just been through the sexuality transformer. He went in as a normal straight guy and came out as a transvestite wearing a long black dress with glitter, and artificial breasts.

"I am a guy trapped in a woman's body" Anders laughs. He thinks it is a fun experience. Besides transvestites, the festival-goers have been transformed into flashers, sado-masochists, gays and much more.

"We try to break and move people's boundaries when it comes to sexuality. When you have been through this machinery, hopefully when you encounter diverging sexualities in real life, you will be more open-minded and less prejudiced", says Kalle Rose from Sex & Society.
For those of you interested, it can take up to two years from you are infected with venereal warts until you have a break-out.
