Your definitive guide to the Safer Sex Balls

With less than 3 weeks to go until the first of the SSBs, the hype is mounting.

Here’s everything you need to know to help you choose your outfits, plan your evenings, and show you the FOMO you’re gonna have if you don’t hurry up and buy a ticket.

Activities

Comedy Warm Up Workout

Face On Face Off: “One half of multiple couples who don’t know each other will be brought up on stage and decorated facially with an assortment of sweet condiments and if we’re feeling nasty some salty things too. The crowd judges the best effort then the artists have to lick off their creations.”

Blind Date Dancing: “Pairs of randoms are chosen then blindfolded in a circle on the dance floor, then told to go at it as best they can with their unidentified partner. Funniest crowd judged couple wins then they reveal themselves to each other.”

You could be tied to one of these guys for an evening. How will you cope.

Blindfolded Musical Chairs/ 3 legged race: Not as kinky as it sounds

Inflatables: Bouncy castle / ball pit style (so you were right not to buy an Adventure Ball ticket)
