Sex Positivity | Playful Magazine

Strip away the shame.

At Playful, we’re interested in sex positivity as it actually exists in culture — not as a slogan, but as something lived, negotiated, and sometimes misunderstood. Especially in spaces where sexuality becomes more visible: kink scenes, BDSM dynamics, queer nightlife, and the grey areas in between where people are still figuring out their language for desire.

We dive into the raw world of eroticism, and radical self-expression. From Berlin’s underground kink scene and create well lived out BDSM guides, as well as deep dives on polyamory tips and sexual wellness, we cover it all.

Whether you're exploring a new fetish or looking for stories that make the 'taboo' feel like home—nothing is too crazy, naked, or strange for Playful Magazine.

We normalize the underground and give a voice to those who live it.

What Does A Submissive Wear? The Hood Lobotomy

Long before I tried on a hood myself, I was already clocking the cold sculptural beauty of them everywhere — on BDSM shoots, in club bathrooms with worse lighting than they deserved, in the dark corners of clubs where someone was calmly clipping a leash to another person. I watched a model get zipped into latex at a shoot and being struck less by the sexiness than by the professionalism of it. Black gloves. Hair guard in place. Jaw checked. Breathing panel inspected.

Behind the Velvet Curtain: Inside The Sublime Society

The Sublime Society exists in the space between looking and being seen. A place where performance becomes encounter, and where intimacy is something to be explored rather than consumed—slower, more intentional, and just close enough to feel slightly dangerous.

Porn Term Lixicon: JOI, CEI, PMV and More

The internet did what it always does: took messy human desire and turned it into shorthand for people with one hand busy and the attention span of a fruit fly. That’s basically what a porn glossary is. These terms exist for one reason: efficiency. Search bars are for the lizard brain. Nobody types a full emotional thesis when they’re hunting a very specific flavour of chaos before the tab-switch shame kicks in.

Visiting a Doll Brothel in Berlin – Getting to know Kokeshi

Her name is Kokeshi. She’s a silicone sex doll at a doll brothel that recently opened here in Berlin. Well, actually she's the very first interactive human based pleasure doll in the world. Today the brothel has geared up with more dolls to add to the entourage.

Inside We Feast, Berlin’s Steamy & Naked Food Feast

I’ve spent enough time on the sticky floors of Berlin's Sex Clubs and (Maybe not enough at Tantra Retreats, but I believe I get the vibe) to know that something was missing in the middle. We usually get the grit or the glitter, the dungeon or the ashram. WeFeast is the correction. It’s for the urban pragmatist who wants the depth of a tantric weekend without the "new-agey gobbledygook".

Somnophilia 101: The Taboo Fantasy No One Admits

Sleep is one of the last places where a person is unavailable for performance. Even the most self-possessed people, the ones who know their angles and deliver tidy little versions of themselves all day, eventually disappear.

CBT & Ballbusting 101: Creative Ideas for Kinky Play

Cock and ball torture is a ridiculous name for something so psychologically elegant. The reality is intimate and honestly more revealing than most sophisticated sex. You are taking the part of the body most tangled up with masculinity, performance, fertility, status, fear, vanity, lineage, all that heavy myth men drag around, and placing it directly in somebody else’s hand.

What Is Breeding Kink? Inside the Taboo Fantasy of Risk, Control, and Desire

Your body can want something your actual life absolutely does not. That’s the whole mess, really. Breeding kink lives right in that split screen: the animal panic of fill me, claim me, put your mark on me — and then the boring little domestic reality of calendars, contraception, STI testing, laundry, and somebody asking if you remembered oat milk.
