⚠️ This is not a sponsored text. This is a real guide for those looking for the most fetish form of gay fun in Warsaw. Similar parties for heterosexual people are also organized by Warsaw swingers clubs. This text focuses on a specific proposal for gays seeking experiences.
Warsaw has for years attracted men looking for a space where fantasies can go far beyond the classic bedroom atmosphere. Among parties for fetishists, the one based on strict sexual roles of male participants - Horse Market - stands out significantly.
Sexual safety during male anal play
Before we move on to the details of the party, it is worth recalling the two basic roles in male anal sex, on the strict establishment of which the entire fun is based. The active one, i.e. the one who penetrates, and the passive one - the one who receives. These positions are not rigid for life, but at a specific party they become a clear contract. Historically anal sex has appeared in various cultures as an act of power, ritual or pure pleasure.
A quick transition to sexual contacts with strangers, especially in a larger group, differs from calmly established contacts in cafés or gyms for gays. The health aspect plays a significant role here and under no circumstances should it be underestimated.
Contemporary medical knowledge emphasizes that with proper preparation and protection, health consequences remain possible to minimize. Studies indicate that the lack of protection increases the probability of transmission not only of sexually transmitted diseases, but also of viruses and other bacteria, especially for the passive side. It is the one that "absorbs" through the mucous membrane of the large intestine everything that it additionally receives from the member stretching its walls. Mechanical injuries also primarily concern the penetrated person. It is worth protecting yourself against abrasions and other damage by using an appropriate amount of lubricant. That is why a condom and lubricant are not merely a nice addition, but a real foundation of safe and pleasant anal sex, also among an exclusively male group.
For people visiting Warsaw erotic clubs, such events based on the realization of erotic fantasies of Poles and foreigners no longer cause great surprise. Openness to role-play, fetish and temporary surrender of control over one's body is a natural extension of everyday searches here. The capital offers a wide spectrum of spaces for fetishists or fans of group sex. Horse Market goes one step further - it introduces clear, inviolable rules, a distinct division of participants' roles and understandable symbolism.
Fetish atmosphere and the importance of openness

Fetish in a gay circle can in a way be compared to the Esperanto language. It does not have to mean classic latex or leather accessories widely associated with this concept. It much more means a state of mind, inner desires and the way of realizing them in a rather unconventional manner.
This time fetish means a strict contract between participants - the passive gay is a mare, and his active lover is a stallion. This simplicity allows men to cross the boundary of ordinary social norms, build tension during the play and ultimately lead to the moment of ecstasy, consisting in covering the mare by the stallion. Many would not cross such norms in everyday contacts. At Instytut Bar, located at Prosta 2/14, the atmosphere favors precisely such experiments. Outside special events the venue operates as a cruising gay bar with dark rooms, a social zone and music that does not drown out conversations.
The authors of the event rules emphasize that the party is based on informed consent and clear rules. These are particularly important issues in the world of fetish, where the fun is spoiled most quickly when someone tries to go beyond the established comfort boundary. Before going to the party it is worth familiarizing yourself with the entire Horse Market party regulations so that nothing surprises us and the fun proceeds in a joyful, gay atmosphere.
How does Horse Market proceed? Stages of the evening

The party begins with choosing a role at the entrance. It cannot be changed during the event - this is a key rule. Mares go to the cloakroom, undress and put on a colored bag on their head. The only permitted clothing is socks, a cock ring, a harness and mandatory shoes. Then they are led by the staff of so-called "stablemen" to designated places. Stallions move freely, look around, choose and take the selected mare. After the act they escort her back to the line or to the toilet.
The regulations state clearly that when a stallion chooses a mare, she cannot reject him or refuse. At the same time it emphasizes that violation of safe sex rules may result in immediate exclusion from the fun. The organizers do not take responsibility for physical or mental harm - this is a standard disclaimer, which however is worth treating seriously and taking care of one's own health independently. The mare has the full right to check the level of protection used by her stallion.
Additionally, mares remain tied to the party for as long as the last stallion has not left her. Each of them can choose and lead the mare to a place chosen by himself, also for a drink or a cigarette. An important reservation is that in the rest zone it is not allowed to remove the bag from the mare's head - this threatens exclusion from the party.
The hours of the event fall between 18:00 and 21:00, while the standard opening hours of Instytut are from 19:00 to 5:00 or 6:00 depending on the day. Detailed hours and the division of parties can be found directly in the Instytut Bar calendar and in the regulations concerning Horse Market.
During the evening rest zones are available, such as a place for a cigarette, a drink or a short conversation. A mare can at any moment ask a stableman or her stallion to escort her to the cloakroom and leave the party. This is an important detail correlating with the essence of BDSM - despite the expressive character, no one is a prisoner of the chosen role.
You will not make a stallion out of a mare - strict passive and active roles
In the classic division the active partner leads, and the passive one adapts to him. At Horse Market these roles take on an almost theatrical character. The stallion receives a red or white wristband indicating respectively preferences for unprotected sex and protected sex. He moves freely, evaluates the mares put up for market and chooses one of them.
The regulations introduce a simple but effective solution for mares in the same format, i.e. the color of the bag put on the head. Red means readiness for contact without protection, and white - exclusive readiness for sex with a condom. The mare herself chooses the color and has the right to check whether the partner respects it. This is one of the better practices that can be found at parties of this type.
This reversal of everyday dynamics is liberating for many. Some men who on a daily basis declare themselves as active, with curiosity take on the role of a mare and put a bag on their head. Others, accustomed to submission, discover pleasure in the leading role. If you are interested in broader contexts of dominance and submission, it is worth looking at the guide BDSM for beginners. The SSC and RACK principles work here just as well as in classic play based on bondage.
How to prepare for Horse Market?

It is recommended to come rested, with a clean body, your own lubricant and a clear decision regarding the color of the bag. It is always worth choosing the white color. Among gays there is no risk of pregnancy. This lack of responsibility is associated with a greater sense of freedom regarding condoms. However, it is the only form of physical protection that puts a strict barrier between bacteria and viruses transmitted sexually and a healthy partner. It is also untrue that there exist alleged pores in condoms reducing their effectiveness. It is worth remembering this.
One should certainly avoid heavy drinking before entering and also during the party. All attempts to record the course of the event or force a partner who clearly signals discomfort are also forbidden. Rely on the prevailing atmosphere and adapt to it, and you will receive a guarantee of good fun.
It is also worth remembering that the party has an age limit of 18-55 years and especially in the case of young-looking people requires an identity document. You may feel freer if you do not go to the place alone, but in the company of a more experienced person. A good solution is to find a partner earlier who will tell you more about the party itself or simply keep you company. Similarly to gays and bisexual guys from the Tricity, those from Warsaw are also both fully open and more discreet.
Is it worth appearing at Horse Market?
For men who like clear frameworks and the theatrical element of fun in a fetish atmosphere - yes, it is an excellent solution. For those who prefer complete freedom without a bag on the head or other strict rules, it is better to choose another, more classic evening in the same venue. Instytut Bar regularly organizes various events, and Horse Market remains only one of the proposals.
