Polyamory basics in plain words: what it means, how relationships are structured, how to handle jealousy, testing and boundaries, and how to begin.

It does not happen to everyone. It is not a diagnosis. And it does not automatically mean that the scene was wrong.

From private afterparties in Dalston’s back alleys to a thriving creative queer community that knew how to have fun, and invited you to join them, photographer and GutterSlut co-creator Ralf Obergfell revisits the people, parties and beautiful chaos of East London, 2005–2015.

A decade of Queens Against Borders (QAB) means a decade of drag, queer and trans artists, sweaty dance floors, political conversations, new family bonds and the occasional need to explain to the authorities what exactly is going on. In other words, a pretty good run.

Fantasy sex toys occupy that space between sculpture, costume and sexual possibility. They give shape to the things that are difficult to explain in ordinary language: wanting to be overwhelmed, transformed, claimed by something that is not quite human, or taken somewhere outside the usual body scripts.

Five trans femmes, one flute, a lot of rage, and a debut tape about chasers, dysphoria, desire, motherhood and wealth inequality. We talk to Nancy Nutter about making noise, finding each other in Berlin, and why apparently being told you’re well rehearsed can be its own kind of joke.

You can spend most of your life being told, in small and large ways, how you are supposed to behave. What a successful life looks like. What you should wear. Who you should date. How much you should work. When you should settle down. What is embarrassing. What is respectable.

At times, KABARET KLUB feels strangely reminiscent of The Greatest Showman. Not in its polished, cinematic spectacle, but in the sense that you are watching the machinery of a fantastical world reveal itself. Except here, the machinery is visibly human. The flaws are part of the beauty.

A step-by-step guide to foot worship that moves from the first touch to the final check-in. Foot worship combines service, sensation, and power exchange — here's how to do it with intention, from the wash to aftercare.

Some people hear "contract" and picture a rigid little kingdom of rules, signatures, punishments, and impossible standards. In practice, the healthier ones tend to feel closer to marriage vows than corporate paperwork. Not because they’re sentimental, but because they’re really about shared intentions, values, and the shape of a commitment two people are trying to make on purpose.

Think you’re strictly 'vanilla'? You might be surprised. From the power of a firm grip to the tension in a kitchen argument, here are 7 sneaky ways you're already playing with BDSM—and how to turn that 'normal' friction into something truly electric.

Are you a Brat, a Pet, or a full-time Slave? A cynical but warm field guide to the BDSM characters you might actually be.

Spit is one of the smartest, cheapest power moves in BDSM. No toy bag. No production budget. Just a hand under the jaw, a mouth held open, and one wet little gesture that can do more than half the gear people keep buying to avoid having actual presence.

Just because you’re managing your submissive from a thousand kilometers away doesn’t mean they get to act like a brat without consequences. In fact, when a D/s contract is broken remotely—when there’s no paddle within reach, no eye-roll to meet in person—it calls for a very different kind of dominance. Less leather and chains, more strategy and psychological chess.

Somebody always ruins it. Usually it's not the sex. It's the part nobody talks about beforehand: what happens when one of you starts wanting more coffee dates and fewer 1am texts. An FWB relationship can work beautifully, for months, sometimes years, but only if both people treat it like the specific arrangement it is instead of a relationship-shaped hole they're hoping the other person will eventually fill.
