Invitation Only: VIP Closed screening
We’re delighted to be bringing together 3 very special works by men on the topic of male victimhood for an important evening of exploration, information and discussion.
Davey Turnhout, Peter Oude Wesselink and others will show and discuss their works in a Q&A, and the importance of male+ victims of sexual violence.
The evening is strictly by invitation only and will be conducted in Dutch. To register please contact michael@menaswell.nl
Consent is not a cockblock: Unboxed
“Women aren’t sex shop owners.
Men aren’t victims of sexual violence.”
That’s how our journeys started.
This Pride, join us as we break gender barriers, bridge polarities, and celebrate our differences — while honouring what we all have in common: consent.
We’re proud to launch the Oh Collective x MenAsWell gift set:
🌈 The Boo — Oh Collective’s remote control butt plug
💧 Plus a limited-edition lubricant, specially co-designed by the MenAsWell team
Extra control. Maximum consent. Ultimate Pride.

Amsterdam Pride WELLBEING WEEK: 🖤 Techno Yoga: Turn Inwards, Tune Out
🖤 Techno Yoga: Turn Inwards, Tune Out
Hosted by MenAsWell x Tilla Tec for Pride Amsterdam
Step out of the noise and into your body.
Techno Yoga is a slow, grounding flow set to deep, pulsing beats—designed to help you reconnect with yourself in the middle of Pride. Whether you’re queer, questioning, trans, bi+, cis, or just tired, this space is for you.
We move with intention.
We breathe through resistance.
We listen inward—together.
Expect a dimmed room, bass-heavy rhythms, and a sequence that meets you where you are. No flexibility or experience needed—just come as you are, in whatever feels comfortable.
🧘 All bodies welcome
🎵 Live DJ set
🏳️🌈 A soft space within the celebration

We’ll take care of the rest.

Rotterdam Week Tegen Seksuele Straatintimidatie: Cruise Verhalen - Intimacy, Resistance & Consent
As part of the Week Tegen Seksuele Straatintimdatie in Rotterdam, MenAsWell invites you to an honest, open conversation about sexual safety in public spaces, with a focus on cruising—the practice of seeking out anonymous sexual encounters in public or semi-public places. Cruising is often dismissed, criminalized, or fetishized, yet it remains a vibrant cultural practice within queer communities that challenges norms around sexuality, visibility, and space.
