BDSM Beyond Binary

There are few queer, kinky and inclusive spaces in Berlin – especially since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

The BDSM Beyond Binary collective wants to change that:

We invite all queers who want to learn (new) skills, exchange ideas and broaden their own perspectives. Our event series offers space for exchange, community, skill sharing – and simply for being.

BDSM Beyond Binary regularly invites queer, kinky and sex-positive collectives and individuals to share their expertise with the community in exclusive formats.
Look forward to monthly changing events with a variety of BDSM expertise, captivating performances, sexy poetry, erotic art, lustful dance, sensual play and pleasurable bodywork.

BDSM Studio Lux provides the rooms and infrastructure for this series – as a collaborative partnership. We are transparent and fair: the use of the rooms is free of charge. Most of the proceeds go to the providers. We keep a small portion for marketing and any wage costs incurred. In this way, we remain true to our credo:

We promote solidarity and the (re)distribution of resources.

Lust is political – Who we are

BDSM Beyond Binary is a queer sex worker collective that thinks and lives BDSM beyond normative role models.

We create spaces for pleasurable, empowering and reflective discussions about kink, sexuality and the body.

Our events are aimed at queer, trans*, non-binary and cis-allied people who (want to) understand BDSM as a practice of self-empowerment, care and boundary negotiation.

Our focus is on knowledge exchange, community building and making different perspectives within the BDSM scene visible. We stand for safer spaces, consent, inclusivity and a political engagement with pleasure – beyond binary gender logics.
