  • They set sail on Lake Constance at Friedrichshafen harbour on Sunday for world’s largest BDSM boat party
  • Turnout lower this year due to heatwave but that didn’t stop some from donning skin-tight latex costumes 

Hundreds of fetishists sporting skin-tight latex dresses and leather corsets have piled on an erotic cruise ship for a kinky annual festival in Germany.

Around 500 revellers in full bondage, gimp masks, horse heads and fishnet vests boarded the ‘Torture Ship’ at Friedrichshafen harbour on Sunday.

Large crowds gathered to watch as they set sail on Lake Constance for the world’s largest BDSM boat party.

Organisers said the turnout was down slightly this year due to sweltering temperatures.

But that didn’t stop ‘Kathrin von Kali’ and her escort ‘Latex Angela’ from travelling all the way from Moscow . 

The two men in the latex-nun costumes did not want to reveal their real names, but said they made the 1,500-mile trip because their hobby is more accepted in Germany. 

Thomas Siegmund, who runs the party, told Bild: ‘There’s a bit less [turnout] than usual, because of the heat. But it is even more than 30 degrees in paint, leather and latex.’ 

A fetishist sticks his split tongue through a spooky mask. Tongue bifurcation, splitting or forking, is a type of body modification in which the tongue is cut centrally from its tip to as far back as the underside base, forking the end

Fire breathers and heavily-tattooed women are synonymous with the festival and hundreds turn out each year just to watch them board the ship

Explaining why the party is so popular, organiser Thomas Siegmund said: ‘In a normal nightclub people are all astonished and some may fidget when they come in latex outfit. On the ship, the guests felt comfortable’

Paramedics are on standby on the ship in case of emergencies. In 2015, the party was forced to get rid of its darkroom and bedrooms to comply with tightening safety regulations.

The Torture Ship has been running for more than two decades.
