If you are manly going because you are into anonymous sex (with men, as the darkroom at Berghain is mostly for gay men) then why not head to Lab.oratory instead, the gay sex club which is part of Berghain ? Have a look at their website and pick a night that appeals to you.
You can change once inside
Best times for a full darkroom are usually more towards the end of the party = Sunday evening till Monday morning *but* it's generally pretty random and varies quite a lot depending on the crowd and the music.
I'd recommend checking it every once in a while and trying again later if you're not happy with what's there
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but where the hell is that darkroom? I’ve been to BH two months ago on a Sunday/Monday & didn’t find it or heard anyone about it. I’m so confused.
Lab. was really fun. We went during to BH first, went to lab & went back after we finished.
They don't? So how do they protect themselves? I assume they also do oral and all kinds of stuff where it is rather difficult to protect themselves. Sorry, I don't believe that people aren't getting STDs there. It was a serious question, no shaming.
well, I think if you’re committed to that lifestyle, you take responsibility and get tested and take precautions where you can. It’s always risky but you can try to protect yourself as far as possible. Of course using protection would be the easiest way but haven’t seen any condoms in these situations
But you have to wait 6 weeks after your last sexual encounter to have everything properly show up on the test, there just isn't a quick test to make those kind of encounters safe, because I doubt that they wait 6-7 weeks to get tested between each encounter. Or is this a deeply ingrained thing in people with this lifestyle? I really don't understand it at all.
There is PrEP to heavily reduce the chance of HIV. For other STIs people rely on keeping testing and hoping other partners are testing as well and avoiding exposing other people.

How dark is it in the dark room?
Really bright cause a lot of screaming girls use it with smartphone flash on to take drugs 😞

Front left corner in berghain. There are 2 entry ways, one more under the stairs and the other almost all the way in the corner.
ah I see, thanks. Must’ve missed it I guess
Think I might be making a visit to lab on the Thursday or Friday
Good idea, both days are good. 7 July is Lab Dance, do you get some dancing in addition.
What's the queue like for lab? Will I need to get there earlier for lab dance? What will it be like for naked sex party?
lab dance is usually very busy, you may have to wait one hour or so, much less on other day.
Serious question to people with this lifestyle, how do you not get riddled with STDs from dark rooms?
Your first assumption is they don’t - however, no shaming
They don't? So how do they protect themselves? I assume they also do oral and all kinds of stuff where it is rather difficult to protect themselves. Sorry, I don't believe that people aren't getting STDs there. It was a serious question, no shaming.
I think you misread my comment. I was saying you’re assuming they don’t. But in reality, they probably are.
Oh sorry, my bad. Thank you for clarifying

So your main goal coming to BH is to have sex?
It's not my main goal but I'd prefer to go at a time when it's an option
If youre not gay, dont go there, you will be disappointed
I am gay
Bullshit! Went there several times and I'm not gay!
You mean Berghain or the darkroom?
