I Love Kinky — ILK to the scene — has been running kinky parties and festivals in the Netherlands since 2014, and describes itself as the leading organisation in that field for over ten years. Its own summary of the range is accurate: from intimate indoor parties to multi-day camping festivals, with every event put together with passion, precision and an obsessive eye for detail. Its archive runs to more than twenty-five editions under names like Fetishval, My Kinky Valentine, Enter The Galaxy, Man vs Machines and Grotta dell'Amore.

ILK owns no venue, and the list of buildings it has taken over is the clearest picture of what it does: Club Rodenburg in Beesd, PartyPlayers in Lelystad, the Westerunie in Amsterdam, a campsite on the Zeeland coast, a castle estate in Limburg and — for what would have been its first Belgian edition — an industrial event hall in Maldegem. Each edition is separately branded, separately ticketed and built for its room.

Two house rules define the door. The dress code is compulsory, not a suggestion — the organisers say so in as many words, and explain why: to keep the atmosphere pure and their guests comfortable. Latex, leather, rubber, PVC, neoprene, uniforms, fetish wear, gothic and dark fashion, elegant or luxurious dress and creative costumes all pass; vanilla clothing — jeans, t-shirts, trainers — sportswear, uniforms imitating real services, offensive symbols, fake blood and gore all do not. The doorbitch decides and there is no refund. And entry is strictly 20+ with ID, which is unusually high for the Dutch scene.

Three further things worth knowing before booking. Solo guests are explicitly welcome — the organisers answer their own FAQ with an unambiguous yes. Guest photography and video are not allowed at all. And drugs are strictly banned, with security, first aid and awareness hosts present at every edition.
