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.
afterlust
afterlust is our ongoing cultural series that brings people together through film, food, music, art, and conversation. Based at ERIKALUST HQ in Barcelona, it opens our doors to creators, collectives, and inspiring initiatives that share a curiosity for creativity and the exploration of pleasure.
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.
XConfessions
What would you do if someone handed you a stranger's fantasy? XConfessions has been answering that since 2013. People send us their desires in their own words, anonymously, and we film the ones that get under our skin. Real confessions, given image, sound, and cinematic story. It's become one of our most loved projects: an exchange between the people who confess and the directors who bring them to screen.
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.
Alliances & Partnerships
ERIKALUST is a founding member of the Adult Studio Alliance (ASA), a collaborative initiative bringing studios together around shared production standards. By contributing to the framework, we help shape safer, clearer, and more considered creative environments across the industry.
ERIKALUST partners with Pineapple Support, a non-profit providing mental health care for people across the adult industry. Through our partnership, we help the people behind our films reach free therapy, confidential support, and real care whenever they need it.
