Squirt.org member phil9325, our certified travelling slut, is constantly visiting new gay and kinky events around the world. So far, he has shown us the first part of Darklands 2024 together with other fetish and kink events, such as Dore Alley and Folsom in San Francisco and Pig Week in Fort Lauderdale. Submerge yourself into the second and raunchier part of Darklands 2024.
Woof, woof, and hello again, my fellow travel sluts. I am back again from a good jerk-off session and, with all my steam blown away, to tell you what happened in the following days of Darklands 2024 in Antwerp, Belgium, one of Europe’s biggest fetish and kink events.
If you haven’t read part I, make sure to check it out here before you continue reading this part.
Polish those boots, tighten those ropes, loosen that hole and get ready to submerge into The Void and discover the main events at Darklands.
What happens during the day at Darklands?
Friday and Saturday are the main day events at Darklands. You should arrive in the afternoon, select a fetish outfit and enter the Void, the main area of the festival, to check out the workshops, market and other activities.
Once you enter, you will see that the fetish market is open this time. Stores like Mr. S, Mr. B and Mr. Riegillio are around, plus more leather, rubber and sex toy brands associated with the event.
What is the Darklands Market Like?
The market has everything you need to get your new gear. It is a fantastic place to try new fetish clothes, and everyone is super helpful if you have any questions about how to wear anything or how to take care of it. Remember, leather and rubber gear need special care and obviously can’t just be thrown in the washer like a regular cotton T-shirt.
As you walk around, I recommend grabbing a drink and socializing with everyone. People around the bar are the friendliest, and they will welcome you into their group, especially if you are in similar gear.
The Market has one bar and stage—the Mr. S Bar—which is super social. Every few hours during the day, it hosts live sex shows, DJs, and drag shows, so stick around this area if this sounds like something for you.
I got to get a glimpse of the sportswear sex show, and it was great. I honestly wish I was the one on stage getting my hole used (as being watch/exhibitionism is one of my kinks).
Another hot thing you will see around this area is that while you order drinks, there will be people getting dominated, spanked, tortured or fucked by the bar (or on it). If this is not your thing, just get your drink and find a group to join or watch along, play with your cock while waiting in line, and maybe ask to join if you feel intrigued (maybe the masters will ask if you want to be tied up next).
I would say there isn’t much sex happening in the market but rather kinky play by the bar and stage. So, sadly, if you were hoping to get bent over at a vendor’s counter taking loads, that was not the vibe.
Nevertheless, the darkrooms are open, so if you need a quick fix of cum, the options are there. That is not to say that sex is not happening, but you will notice most people save their energy and load for the night events, which we will get to in a second.
I spent quite a few hours in the market and was tempted by new gear (as always), so I had to try on some stuff and ended up with more leather. My favourite piece from this trip was my new leather shirt with red (of course for fisting). The market is also where I connected with most people; it is such a friendly and stress-free environment.
Other activities that you can take part in during the day are workshops like Sober Fisting, Darklands 101, and Shibari for Beginners, among others. I have to note that although these workshops cost extra, they can be a great way to learn about new kinks if you want to.
One activity included with your ticket price is the socials. Throughout the four days, there will be a variety of kink socials, so make sure you check them out (and find the right location).
I attended the Content Creator Social, Naked Social And Fisting Social. I was pretty naive attending them as I thought going to the Fisting Social, for example, I was going to walk in, and everyone was going to be ass up getting fisted. I went with the friend I met the night before. We both came in a jockstrap and a red hanky, holding our bottle of lube to discover that it was an actual social hour for people who enjoy fisting; this prepared me for the other socials I attended not to expect that kinky play was going to take place.
Despite my honest mistake, the Socials are the best way to meet like-minded people who enjoy your same kinks. I consider it an excellent way to enlist future kink hookups, as it is here that I met at least five dudes who I partied with (and fisted constantly) throughout the rest of the event. We also stayed in touch afterwards (no fists required).
What is the Mr. Darklands Competition?
Another day activity that I recommend is for you to go to the main stage to watch the main competitions, like Mr. Darklands. The people who compete are top-notch at the kinks they present, so it is fantastic to watch them compete in a fetish scene.
Finally, just walk around and find what you want to explore. Multiple areas are dedicated to each kink, so there is something for everyone. From an ABDL ball pit to a piss play zone and Shibari area, you can find everything and everyone here.
Also, if you are concerned about people finding out about your kinks, phones are not allowed in any play areas and during parties, so you can have all of the raunchy fun you want without proof of it.
So, what about the parties at Darklands 2024?
Now that we spent the day shopping and socializing, it is time to party and get nasty!
What is the Fusion Party at Darklands 2024?
Friday is one of the main parties, called Fusion. For this event and the Saturday one, the main stage opens up, and so do the “specialty” dark rooms, which include piss play, hardcore BDSM, and fisting. There are also three other massive dark rooms for regular sex, so there is enough space to play and have fun.
The host hotels offer a shuttle bus to the venue for this and Saturday’s parties. However, I will note that everyone from my hotel was nearby, and I waited for over an hour for a bus that never came, so I would not rely on this service, and I would just walk or Uber to the venue.
Once you arrive, strip into your selected gear and enter the party venue. I opted for a sporty harness with an exposed dick and ass so I could easily play with everyone.
Once I entered the main stage, I met up with the fisting friends I made at the social and had a few drinks, danced and appreciated the effort that Darklands puts into the visuals and event. I wish to show you videos of the amazing effects they use, but pictures would give you a little idea of the production level (plus, as I mentioned above, phones and cameras are kept off the floor, so people are free to play as they wish).
It didn’t take long after dancing for a bit for us to move to the darkroom areas. There are also two floors of play areas by the main stage, so you have plenty of places to choose from.
We started at the main floor, in a circle of slings where everyone was getting fisted. It was like musical chairs but a fisting edition. I spent a few hours in this area until we realized the actual fisting zone was on the second floor. We headed there, and it was just punching central. There were so many fuck benches and slings with people getting fisted. I would say that the setup was quick, tight and small, and it didn’t work well for how many people wanted to participate (together with the voyeurs who just stood there).
While that is a bit of an inconvenience, on the bright side, if you forgot your lube, don’t worry. There is a lube store right outside the fisting zone where you can get any kind of fisting lube you like.
I didn’t spend that much time in this area as I can’t deal with places that are too crowded. Also, with how much lube it had, the floor was just a death trap. Also, being on the second floor, it gets pretty warm and steamy (and not just because people are having a lot of sex).
After a few hours of fisting, I went into the other darkrooms to see what else this place had to offer, and to my surprise, I was not disappointed. I instantly went to the balcony area that faces the dancefloor, grabbed the railing and bent over for daddies to fill me up. I am unsure how many cocks went in me, but I definitely left leaking cum from every orifice.
The Friday and Saturday parties go until 6:00 AM, so you have plenty of time to play. I left around 3:30 AM, thinking I was done for the night. Well, I thought wrong.
As I got to my hotel, I was invited to a fisting party in another room. I, of course, couldn’t say no; and of course, this happened to be the most intense fisting I have ever seen, and I was in awe of the human anatomy. I think I left around 6:30 AM and decided to give my hole a little rest.
What is the Saturday Night Party Rage At Darklands 2024 Like?
Saturday’s event is called Rage; this is the event that most people will attend, so if the past two days kept you tamed or holding back, this is the one day you need to go all out and misbehave as much as you can.
I would even say that even Friday attendees are a bit more tamed during the parties so they can go nuts for this event. I chose to go half naked, half leather for this party since I love to be accessible to everyone who wants to play. To start, my friends and I grabbed drinks, danced and had sex with some people in line waiting for drinks while we appreciated the light show, gogo dancers and DJs.
I was having the most fun and felt like if I was going to try something new, this was the night to do so. So, I headed to the piss play area and let my stream go all over everyone there. For context, there are two levels in the piss play area; if you want to be peed on, you go on the bottom floor, and you can grab one of the funnels connected to the balcony or wait for someone to pee on you. I would say that this was fun, but it was not something I would have done if I had been sober.
From here, my friends and I headed to the “musical chair” slings to begin our fisting night. I was lucky enough to meet some of my content creator crushes there, and I’m even more fortunate that we got to play and connect.
I think this was the night I took my kink of fisting and exhibitionism to the next level, as I have never been watched by so many people or fisted that much and long in my life. But hey, that is what Darklands is all about. I think we spent at least 4-5 hours here just taking everyone with a willing fist.
At the end of the night, we decided to head to the fisting zone on the second floor, and I had told myself I was done and I was going just to watch.
Well, if you know about me by now, it is that I always get tempted to keep going. A German man stopped me and said he had been wanting to fist me all weekend and asked if I was willing to give him a try. I was so sore, but he claimed to be a fisting teacher in Berlin (you know, the usual pick-up line), so I had to give him a try.
Well, it wasn’t just a line: I have to say, I have never in my life had such an intense orgasm from getting fisted. I don’t know what this man did to me, but one of the main accomplishments when you fist someone is to make them pee themselves, and that is what happened to me. I kid you not; it was like over a minute of it while he was taking care of my ass. 10/10 would recommend. Five stars, Yelp.
How could I top that? I didn’t think I could, so after this reward, with nothing left in me, I took the last shuttle bus back to the hotel and ended my night with a good sleep.
What is Fury, the closing event on Sunday at Darklands 2024, Like?
Sunday is the last day of Darklands, and it concludes with Fury. This is the last day you can check out the market and the last time you get to experiment with your dark side. This party is very tame and short, ending at 1:00 AM. Also, this event is similar to Thursday, where you only have access to the entrance stages and regular dark rooms. You can start with a more tame outfit and then strip more as the party begins.
After the last few nights, you may think I took it easy, but I definitely did not.
I decided the last day needed to be a fully naked day with just a red hunky so people knew why I was there for. My friends and I went to the second-floor darkrooms and found an area to fist each other. It didn’t take long until all the fisters joined us, and we took over the place.
I met some of the sexiest and most hung men on this night, and you best believe I got on my knees and worked their cocks! I may be a fisting bottom, but I am still a power bottom at heart that needs to work big cocks. It didn’t take long for me to have a few loads leaking down my leg.
What about after-parties during Darklands 2024 Weekend?
I mentioned this in my previous entry, but two bars in Antwerp host the after-parties for these events, Boots and Club Random. Most people would recommend Boots, so I had to try it before leaving this city.
What was the after-party at Boots like during Darklands 2024 Weekend?
The bar is open from 9:00 PM until 9:00 AM, so you have lots of time to get your freak on. It is just a short 10-15-minute walk from the venue. Going after the Thursday or Sunday event is the best decision, as these parties end early, and we all have hungry holes that need a lot of attention.
If you go, leave the Thursday or Sunday party early so you don’t have to wait in line at Boots. Once you arrive, you must become a member (free) and then coat-check everything. I recommend going fully naked. This place has five floors for play, each one kinkier than the next one.
The first two floors are just a bar and some small play areas. The third floor has a very dark area and a piss play zone (so this floor smells a bit).
The top floor is filled with sex slings and fuck benches, but it also is the smoking floor, so if you don’t like the smell of cigarettes, I would say avoid this area.
The basement is more like a labyrinth, and not many people play there, so your best bet is the second and third floors. I stayed here a very long time just having drinks, making out with daddies, and having my hole used by different guys.
Before I left, a daddy who had used me every day found me on the basement floor, bent me over the bar and bred me. It was honestly the best ending to an amazing four days of partying.
Before you leave, you must present your membership card to the cashier, and then you will pay for everything you consume and use. You must spend at least $8 (which is how much the coat check costs), so keep that in mind.
I then had my last walk of fame and glory back to the hotel. It was a bittersweet moment to say bye to amazing new friends and sexy experiences, but it takes a lot out of you to be that kinky for an entire weekend.
Stay Protected: Here’s How to Be a Smart Travel Slut Ready for Action
I said it in Part I of my Darklands journal, and I will repeat it: get tested before and after attending events like this to keep yourself and others safe. When you return the following year, you don’t want to be known as a superspreader. Reputation is everything, honey.
Also, be sure to get your vaccines up to date, MPox, Covid, and Hepatitis. And finally, stock up on PreP and DoxyPep. If you’re travelling like me for a sex vacation, be sure also to check out this article on how to prepare best.
So, is Darklands Kink and Fetish Festival for me?
Darklands offers you a world of fetish and kink for experienced and novice kinksters. I met a few people who were very intrigued by some kinks, and Darklands was their first event of this kind.
In their opinion, it was the perfect place to get introduced to your preferred kink or take your curiosity further.
For me, as a regular attendee of these kinds of events, I would 10000% recommend it to everyone curious or someone who is a total slut and needs their dick and hole played with at all times. Darklands is the place to let loose, meet kinky friends, and have the best, sexy time of your life. You only pay once, and you have access to everything this festival has to offer.
Also, unlike other circuit parties and kink events, Darklands is a more welcoming and chill environment. There is way less attitude and way more sex. Remember that you can be more “free” as no phones are allowed on the main floors of the event spaces, so you can explore and play with more freedom than in other places. You will feel so comfortable after a few hours here that I can assure you, it will leave you wanting more.
If you are planning on going, start planning way in advance (this article should give you enough of a heads-up to think about 2025) so you can get the best deals on hotels, flights, and tickets for the event. And who knows, maybe we’ll meet there next year.
For now, I have to go back to jerking off as these stories left me horned up. The memories keep me going when I need new motivation to play with myself.
Stay tuned for more slutty adventures. I will take all the loads I can for you to enjoy.
