Chao Phraya River, the River of Kings and the hectic activity of Bangkok
1. ELVEDEN HALL, ENGLAND
Eyes Wide Shut not only showcased Kubrick's final flashes of genius, but also invited viewers from around the world to cross the walls of this palace and become part of the Sophisticated and anonymous orgies with Ligeti as background music. This English estate will be remembered as the place where Tom Cruise almost lost his temper and his life and where the sexual games of those who dominate the world take place.
two. WHITE HOUSE
The Tinto Brass universe runs through all the myths and sexual scenarios possible of European minds since the 70s. Not in vain, he was the first to film a bacchanalian peplum as it was_Caligula_. In his extensive filmography, many high-quality films shine, but perhaps the first scene of Fail! be the one that breaks down the most walls. In her, a couple in love celebrate their honeymoon in a Riad in Casablanca with some extra company . The fact is that the film served to confirm that Morocco is a perfect getaway to strengthen relationships and season them with that close, cheap and multisensory exoticism.

3. POMPEII, HERCULANE AND NAPLES
It could be said that everything began here, that the great discovery of the erotic murals of the brothels and houses of Pompeia and Herculaneum it changed the mind and the current imaginary about the time of the Great Rome. The explicit and depraved nature of the painted scenes gave free rein to subsequent risque creations (see the already mentioned Caligula or series like Rome or Spartacus) and made a visit to these ruins have one more incentive. An entire archaeological journey to sex before Christ that is completed with a visit to the inescapable Secret Cabinet of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.
The city of Pompeii, depravity squared
Four. ARMORY STUDIOS, SAN FRANCISCO
Not everything that the Internet has brought is bad, dirty, seedy and industrial. And if not, tell this amazing building located in San Francisco. A kind of replica of a Moorish castle that has dominated the Mission district for a century . His imposing image has become the most recognizable image of the production company Kink, responsible for the best current bondage and commercial domination content. But the relationship between the old arsenal of the city and eroticism is not limited to just a few frames. This monument can be visited thanks to some tours organized by the production company and in which the different spaces where the filming sets are located are visited. That said, San Francisco never ceases to amaze…
A very erotic Moorish castle
5. KIT KAT CLUB, BERLIN
The scantily clad Berlin is enough to make an entire website with its potlucks and nightlife for adults. But the ** Kit-Kat Club is more than a club, it has become a social and audiovisual phenomenon**. After all, it is already a myth, in the place where, for 20 years, the best techno fetish parties that today attract fans from all over the world thanks to the powerful distribution of the recordings. It's a kind of "yes, it exists, you have to go live it" from the manual.
6. CHATEAU LACOSTE, FRANCE
When you look from below and its old battlements can hardly give shade, you conclude: what a castle birria. But everything changes when it is known that it was one of the prisons for the Marquis de Sade and that his stay here shaped his literature. . Although it supposes a small exercise of imagination, strolling among the stones and walls allows us to return to the years in which the Marquesito was forging his stories of sexual domination, torture and pleasure through the pain of others . You can even see the dungeons where it is said that he practiced his perversions. Some of his biographers also claim that the fact of being located high up, dominating the entire valley and the coast, helped this author to imagine the feudal cruelties that would feed the relationships in his stories.
Stories of sexual domination
7. FORMENTERA
The clean, warm and blue light of this island captivated Julio Médem from the first moment. That is why he wanted to set her most drinkable adult film here, the one in which Lucía (Paz Vega) paraded her nakedness along white beaches and cleaned her past with the mud with which she covered her body. This commercial movie (but with high erotic content) discovered an island much more adult than it is supposed to be but that maintains its virginity and its savagery on the surface . Or what is the same, that it is much more sensual than sexual, much more natural than exuberant. And if I don't know, tell the guy (lucky him) from that beer ad.
Formentera, scene of Lucia and sex
8. SALÒ
Note that Pasolini are big words. And he showed it openly in his amazing Salò or the 120 days of Sodom where some local leaders took advantage of the last beats of Fascism to subdue a group of young people. In addition to assuming a history lesson (yes, the Republic of Salò did exist), the film shows a somewhat unknown region where the population of Salò stands out, the exteriors of Gardeletta (near Bologna) or the sumptuous interiors of the Villa Riesenfeld, in Pontemerlano.
Pasolini are big words
9. BANGKOK
Without a doubt there is a before and after for this city. The year was 1974 and the libertine adventures of the wife of a French diplomat shocked the Western world. The myth (too long) of Emmanuelle was born but, above all, the universe of that colonial Indochina and light of prejudices. Censorship is still having a blast with this movie while Bangkok, its main stage, has become one of the sexiest cities in the world , far beyond the scandalous neighborhood of I'm Cowboy . And it is that thanks to certain scenes, Thailand was consolidated as a paradise in all (and for all) the senses, in a place where rules and customs do not restrict tango as in old Europe.
