gay Berlin clubs bars sex from discodamaged

Open Air Sex at Lab

Lab.oratory have opened a new outdoor  area. It's not in the same place as the old garden which had shrunk last year. That's now vanished completely and been replaced with a much bigger area with at least two slings. It seems to go right up to and under the Berghain garden, so we're looking forward to the next Sunday afternoon naked sex party. Outdoor sex and kicking music. That'll be June 3.

LEAVE A COMMENT PLEASE

In lab.oratory last Friday 29/7/11 and it was more crowded than ever: over 300 guys some just socializing some getting more intimate. I met a handsome Irishman called Neil who said the review here was SHIT. After polite enquiries he revealed that the review gives the impression the lab is just a gay sex club.  Yes, it is quite a social event on Fridays, so a good day to come for the shy folk, but there's still plenty of sex action for those who want to go further. I asked Neil to leave a comment. He hasn't done so yet. And the next day it was the mud party. Friends said that was superb. Marcus never got out of the mud tub.

We always like your views, especially when you disagree. Please leave comments of your experiences! And Neville you Irish charmer, I hope I got your name right, I'm still waiting.

lab.oratory - DD review

Lab.oratory is the best equipped hard core sex club in Berlin. That probably makes it the best in the world. It's worth visiting just for the architectural design. It is in the same building as Berghain and the entrance is round the side. The listings magazines and the website don’t really tell you that. It’s secret! They also don’t say what the dress code is on a Friday. In fact there is none. Clothing, or lack of it, ranged from nothing to jeans and T-shirt. You are only allowed to enter between 22.00 and 24.00. There is a bar and the rest is a huge maze / dark room. The equipment is first class Teutonic industrial.

The Friday I visited there were about 100 people there. They use the number-on-you-arm paying system. I was rolling a joint with a nice guy and he wanted to get a beer. I showed him the number 266 on my arm and he was able to get one for me too. So civilized. I f*cked him after the joint.

In addition to the bar / maze with the uncountable slings, beds, cubicles and other equipment, there are two upstairs bits, one downstairs bit and, in the summer, a backyard. One upstairs bit is a smallish room with a sling, the other was a very busy darkroom within a darkworld. The downstairs / cellar bit was smallish, tiled and smelt of piss. The ceiling was open … It wasn’t in use that I saw, but they do have piss nights. There are good proper water showers down by the toilets. The concrete yard has benches and small play areas. Interestingly, there's a fine view of it from the tops floors of the fire station behind Berghain.

Top Tip: If you go to lab.oratory you can jump the queue into Berghain later. Get a stamp as you leave. Yuo may even get into Berghain free if you ask nicely.

JACK AT LAB

Jack was down at lab.oratory last Sunday for their regular naked afternoon gay sex party on the first Sunday of each month. The weather had at last turned warm, so he anticipated some fucking fun in the sun. And indeed he had it. The guys were fucking busy out there.

There was a comic incident. At one moment Rummelsnuff, the beefy doorman, came out into the garden fully dressed with two other dressed men. One of them was wearing very sexy black overalls and he was quite the object of attention from the naked fuckers. Jack thought that the afternoon had gone over to some uniform event. But no.

The visitors looked carefully at some things on the wall and made notes. It looked like some kind of safety or insurance inspection. The fuck fest continued uninterrupted and the visitors lingered in the garden sipping drinks for fifteen minutes as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening. So Berlin!

lab.oratory spokespeople declined to comment on the reason for the visit.

LADY GAGA IN LAB.ORATORY

Lady Gaga was in Berlin last Tuesday for a concert at the O2 centre and some awards. Afterwards she hire lab.oratory for her own private party there on Tuesday night. Staff at lab said it was all great fun. Sorry we failed to warn you about this in advance. The Daily Star Sunday, a celeb rag, reported it wildly inaccurately. The said "A well-placed mole told us: 'There’s no VIP treatment and no guestlist so she was hanging out with all the semi-naked clubbers and drag queens.' Erm, Tuesday night Berghain and lab were officially closed. Read more bollocks here.

SLIME FOUND IN LABORATORY

Six times a year they have a slime party at lab.oratory, industrial scale Berlin sex club, in the same building as Berghain. Discodamaged had heard great things about this party and sent Jack to visit on 30th January when they had the most recent one. The dress code is naked so he took his oldest trainers, a spare pair of socks, a towel and a fuck-buddy. The weather was still freezing and snowy – Berlin has had snow on the ground since Christmas – so clubs and bars have been poorly attended. Those softy queers are snuggled up at home on the sofa under a blanket. Lab.oratory was no exception and there were only about 100 people there which leaves it feeling a bit empty. But there was plenty of sexy fun to be had. Click the headline to read more.
