The Baths is both an immersive event and a social pleasure platform. Here’s how they differ.

The one-day exhibition is designed for exploring the depths and shallows of your pleasure. Have your questions answered by educators and sexologists, playtest adult products, attend workshops, and have a really enjoyable day out with your friends. Come early for sessions made to inform, inspire and educate. Or linger into the evening as we turn up the heat. Think: life drawing, smutty book club, burlesque performances, and kinky workshops. Built by women, for women and femmes, it’s Australia’s first event of its kind.

The social pleasure platform part of The Baths is a virtual space that exists online for women and femmes. It’s a community that’s open, warm and easy to step into. Access information, resources and conversations to further your exploration. You don’t need to know anything before you arrive, or to arrive as anything either. Dip in, dip out, follow what catches your eye, or simply take it all in.

Not exactly. There aren’t any crystals, cacao ceremonies or Etsy witches (love you, but this isn’t our lane) and we don’t offer any sex-on-premises vibes. The Baths is more like a festival crossed with the best conversation you’ve had with your girlfriends. The focus is pleasure, in all forms.

For millennia, women all around the world gathered in bathhouses to spill, socialise and speak their truth, without expectation or over-explanation. We’re bringing the space back together for 2027.

Yes, honestly. It’s especially for you. As long as you’re 18+, our exhibitions, events and online spaces are made to be enjoyed by everyone from seasoned sexplorers to those entertaining the idea of getting wet. Wherever you sit on the pleasure spectrum, there’s no pressure, no prerequisites and no need for performance. The Baths is what you make it.

For us, curiosity beats experience every time. Some women coming know exactly what they like. Others want to figure that out. Everyone is welcome in this room. And nothing is compulsory, ever. Come for the talks and skip the workshops. Watch the burlesque and skip the art class.

The zero-pressure rule is real. You set your own pace and experience. Permission to observe is part of the deal

You’re early. We love that. Dates and venues are still being confirmed.

We’re building pricing tiers that accommodate a range of budgets, including bundled options if you’re bringing the whole group chat.

Sexologists, somatic practitioners, adult toys, accessories and pleasure essentials; The Baths is designed to support the needs and desires of its audience. So, anything that might interest or intrigue women and femmes 18+ is fair game Curious about whether we can adapt to your industry? Get in touch and get involved.

The Baths is a gradual experience with many entry points. We’ve intentionally designed the day for dipping your toes in at the beginning to being fully immersed at the end (if you so desire). For example, arriving at midday should feel easy, accessible; a warmly-lit environment offering a range of educational sessions and low-intensity things to enjoy. By the evening, we turn up the heat with bolder programming and lower lighting. But, it will never be extreme or hardcore. And you can choose your own adventure, coming for parts of it – or the whole arc.

The Baths is not X-rated, hardcore or performative. When it comes to our attendees, the clothes stay on. And if any nudity is involved in our programming, you’ll be informed ahead of schedule. Consent is major for us, so you’ll never be pushed into doing or seeing anything you don’t want to.

While this isn't a play party, it IS a sex-positive space. We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to sexual harassment, vilification and discrimination and our trained security team will be on-site to ensure that the event remains respectful.
