Another year, another evening of Flying Penises handed out to Erotic Awards winners.
For many a year, the Erotic Awards have championed various sex-positive aspects of society while raising money for The Outsiders Club, a charity which helps disabled adults determined to enjoy their lives to the full.
The selection for 2013 comprised a number of diverse categories including Performance Artist, Striptease and Club/Event. The first two featured artists who had battled through an exhilarating semi-final to reach the shortlist. All winners walked away with the Erotic Awards’ signature trophy, the Flying Penis. Congratulations one and all.
