Sex and the gritty

If you like combat equipment
Agonophiliacs
If you’re one of the few (and the proud?) who gets aroused by combat paraphernalia, head directly to Congress Theater (2135 N Milwaukee Ave, 773- 276-1235, congresschicago.com) on Friday 18. Lucha VaVoom—a Mexican wrestling, comedy and strip show that mixes sexo y violencia—is the only place in town where viewers can see naked breasts within inches of gloves, headgear and mouthpieces. Tickets are $25–$60. Doors open at 8:30pm.

If you like feet
Podophiliacs
Foot fetishes are fairly common, but those looking for less foot than usual can fulfill their fantasies at Gorilla Tango Theatre’s (1919 N Milwaukee Ave, 773-598-4549, gorillatango.com) homage to nine-toed women…and all other Big Lebowski–related things. Rollin’ Outta Here Naked—a burlesque tribute to the Dude—gives a nudie twist to bowling, nihilists and Viking helmet–wearing women. Tickets are $15. Sat 19 at 10pm.

If you like robots
Technosexuals
Quit watching Blade Runner on repeat and start getting your fill of live, sexy robots. Androids strip down to the bare essentials Saturday 19 for the Sci-Fi Strip-tacular at Viaduct Theater (3111 N Western Ave, 773-296-6024, viaducttheatre.com). Designed as the ultimate geek hard-on, the show will feature sci-fi–themed burlesque acts ranging from erotic extraterrestrials to slutty superheroes. Tickets are $15; with costume $13. Show starts at 10pm.

If you like dirty dancing
Choreophiliacs
Those who need dancing to get their rocks off will have one more place to party as of Saturday 19. Dedicated to helping guests “find their inner sensual spirit,” the Kama Sutra–themed club Tantrik (770 N Halsted St, 312-492-8889) opens, featuring “sexy” bottle service (i.e. scantily-clad servers), bedroom-themed lounge areas, erotic aerial performers and two dance floors where choreophiliacs can do their thing. Doors open at 9pm. $20 cover.
