Projects
Beyond the screen, we’re building tools for pleasure, education, and connection. From an app for shared desire and discovery to a sex-ed project helping families talk openly about porn and intimacy, we’re expanding what ethical adult media can do.
House of ERIKALUST
House of ERIKALUST is an immersive erotic experience that brings the ERIKALUST universe into physical space. First launched in Barcelona and now reimagined in Antwerp, it blends art, film, and technology to explore desire through interaction and presence. A curated journey where pleasure, imagination, and curiosity are invited to unfold without judgment
The porn conversation
A social responsability project created to suport open, informed conversations about sex, porn, and intimicy. As sexual imagery becomes part of everyday culture, many young people encounter it before they have the tools to fully understand it. The project offers families and educators accessible resources to talk about porn literacy, consent, boundaries, and respectful relationships, without fear, shame, or judgment.
The porn conversation
XConfessions App
The free game is easy: connect with your partner, and individually swipe your way through hundreds of hot fantasies. Swipe right to fantasies that you'd like to try and left to ones you don't. When you and your partner swipe right to the same fantasy it will appear in your couple's "bank" of fantasies, ready for you to bring to life together.
XConfessions App
XConfessions
Launched in 2013, XConfessions is a participatory film project inspired by real, anonymous fantasies shared by people around the world. These intimate confessions are transformed into cinemantic short films that center emotion, curiosity, and diverse desire. A landmark project for ERIKALUST, XConfessions continues to open space for erotic storytelling that feels personal, intentional, and deeply human.
