Copenhagen is one destination that must be added to any sex-positive travelers’ “bucket list.” After another visit to Copenhagen where I taught a full weekend of classes, I found myself thoroughly in love with, and impressed by, the town—and its very tall, very blond and very beautiful people.
No, Denmark is hardly the destination of mindless debauchery, blinding excess or forbidden hedonism. It’s neither Las Vegas, nor the red light district of Bangkok. If it were, it wouldn’t be a place of healthy sexuality and beautiful sensuality—and I wouldn’t list it on this must-see list.
Copenhagen is the opposite of the stereotypical “erotic destinations.” Those are filled with superficial tawdriness packaged and marketed as sexy to the unsuspecting public. Copenhagen is fairytale pretty with kind and gentle people. So what makes Copenhagen sexy?
First a bit about this lovely city…
Founded in 1167, the port town straddling the Baltic and North Seas exudes magical charms. Dragon wrapped spires, pristine cobble stone streets, church bells sing above elegant homes from which warm candle light glows spill out from lace-curtained windows. Occasional echoes of horse hooves and buggy wheels punctuate the laughter and clattering of plates and glasses from cafés and bars seemingly unchanged from the days of Hans Christian Andersen.
Yet Copenhagen is also a futuristic city. A leader in green and clean tech as well as biomedical engineering, its citizens boast a high level of education. The Danes are celebrated for exceptional efforts in conservation and general environmentalism, as well as innovative expressions in the fields of design, art and cuisine.

What a wonderful and enlightning article Midori! By reading your reflections I strongly believe you have a lot in common with our Danish mindset of enjoying those essential values of life, not shameful about being kinksters exploring our sexuality. Hope to se you again soon in Copenhagen as we want more of your exiting sensual workshops! Now I just can't wait to read your next article :o)
Sincerely
