Tales of a Moroccan sex woker by El Sadiq-a

Every third Thursday of the month we invite our neighbours, friends, curious strangers, partners and allies to our new regular get-together, in our studio at T85 in Amsterdam East.

Because time spent together is almost rebellious and definitely precious.
