According to international trend forecaster Li Edelkoort, sex is gaining importance in society and the bordello is making a comeback – with many twists. You’re probably thinking sex has always been important, but Edelkoort says that the idea of sex is becoming far more important than the actual act itself.

Edelkoort’s Bordello of the 21st-Century exhibition at Amsterdam History Museum explores this proposal of sex with striptease, burlesque dancing, and a greater emphasis on fantasy and cabaret theatre. Bondage, cybersex and “superhuman” sex is prominent – it’s time for prostitution to make sex more exciting or move on. On the other hand, amateur kinkiness is becoming more significant, with people discovering and healing each other.

So if you haven’t got in touch with your sexual nature, explore your exotic side, go a bit crazy and don’t be scared to try new things – it’s only kinky the first time. Edelkoort also dedicated a recent edition of her Bloom magazine to the topic of eroticism.
