Simon is the editor-in-chief at EuroSexScene (and the overlord behind RLN Media). He’s the smart-arse who decided it would be a good idea to track an entire continent’s worth of adult entertainment—conveniently ignoring the small issue of Europe’s 200+ languages and 2000+ conflicting sex work laws. Smart fella, indeed. Simon splits his time between ESS, AdultVisor and the adult conference circuit. His work covering the adult industry has been featured in Vice, Men’s Health, TechCrunch and (redacted) on his mum’s fridge.
Simon on ESS:
I shudder to imagine how many thousands of punters have trawled through these pages.
What started as a spark of curiosity on a mate’s stag do has grown into a monster of a resource, and honestly, I’m equal parts fascinated, enlightened and repulsed by the services we’ve encountered along the way. The sex scene across Europe is wild.
Euro Sex Scene started as a collection of blogs about various places I’d visited around Europe, and some of the more “NSFW” services I’d seen on my travels. We started in Amsterdam (naturally), then published some guides covering Berlin… they received a ton of attention on forums, Reddit, etc.
So I set out to create a Europe-wide guide, not fully anticipating just how bloody difficult it would be to cover 35+ countries and 60+ cities effectively.
Seven years on… It’s still a work in progress!
I’ve been covering the adult industry for RLN Media since 2012, splitting my time across this site and several others, including my role as the editor of AdultVisor.
If you work in the industry, you may have bumped in to me at various XBiz conferences, or The European Summit (TES). I usually attend 3-4 adult events each year — so if you see me around, say hello!
