Press are encouraged to cover The
Erotic Awards but The Night of the Senses has a "no press and no
photography" policy.
Naturally, however, The Night of the Senses still get featured
in listings, and written about, raved about in underground publications.
The first Ball was listed as the landmark of 1986 in The
Observer's history of sex "50 Years of Opening Up". |

“The sexiest
event in the UK, and possibly the world.”

“This isn't some branded rave, run by cynical young trendies
and sponsored by the latest foul alcoholic mutation; the whole
thing is presided over by the seasoned campaigner Dr Tuppy Owens,
who turned 60 last year, and a merry band of free-thinking persons,
many of whom are well over 35. In fact, one of the past finalists
was a stripper who went by the name of "Fabulous At Forty".
She was also a complete novice at the time but, if I remember
right, decided to go pro not long after. Being 40 put her somewhere
in the middle of the crowd, age-wise. Men and women of all ages
travel from miles around for this party, also known as The Night
of the Senses, because they know that whatever they feel like
doing, or wearing, will be accepted, and no one is going to
point the finger at them because of their age or physical appearance.”
The Independent
“The annual burlesque-laden
award ceremony rewards creativity ... and has something of a
political and philanthropic element too, with anti-censorship
and pro-sex education advocates feted and proceeds going to
a charity which helps find partners for disabled people.”
The Guardian Guide
“The Erotic Awards is the adult version
of the Oscars, promoting recognition for the most innovative,
generous and gorgeous performers, writers, film-makers and activists
of the year – and it's all for charity. Imagine the scene:
a roomful of men and women of all ages and sexual persuasions,
dressed up in their fabulous best, applauding an array of erotic
performers and looking forward to a night of sensual exploration
and fun. Welcome to the Erotic Awards, part of the Night of
the Senses, an annual celebration of all things erotic.”

Owens coordinates one of London's most interesting parties."
