From erotic art and queer photography to street visuals, we feature the artists who set the tone in the city. We skip the high-brow galleries for the authentically strange.

The Berlin Party Turning Arabic Pop Nostalgia Into a Queer Arab Future
The most memorable parties are when you find your people. It's when you're walking into a room and recognising something that feels like home, even if you've been unaware of the fact that you've spent most of your life looking for it. Sometimes that feeling arrives through a song. Sometimes through the smell of bakhour drifting across a dancefloor. Sometimes through the simple fact that a space exists at all.
June Horoscope 2026: The Decisions That Quietly Shape The Rest of Your Summer
June feels like standing at an open window. Gemini season keeps things quick, curious, and slightly chaotic — then Cancer season slides in with feelings you swore you had “handled.”
This month is about conversations that matter, emotional honesty that sneaks up on you, and decisions that quietly shape the rest of your summer.
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.
May Horoscope 2026: Love, Career, Money, and One Special Tip Per Zodiac Sign
May is where things get interesting. Taurus season starts it off slow, sensual, and slightly smug about it. Then Gemini season rolls in, opens twelve tabs in your brain, and asks if you’ve considered reinventing your entire personality before summer. This is your May 2026 horoscope — love, career, money, and one special tip per zodiac sign. Calm on the surface. Plotting underneath. Just how we like it.
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".
Photographing Intimacy: Amelie on Trust, Berlin, BDSM and Power
Her images don’t feel staged in the traditional sense. There’s no obvious performance, no heavy-handed attempt to make something look “erotic” or “edgy.” Instead, they sit in that quieter space where something is clearly happening—emotionally, physically, relationally—but you’re not being told what.
April Horoscope 2026: Bold Beginnings
April walks in like it owns the place. Aries season is still setting things on fire (productively, ideally), and then Taurus season arrives with a silk robe and a savings plan. It’s a month of bold beginnings followed by, “Okay, but how do we make this sustainable?” This is your April 2026 horoscope — love, career, money, and one special tip per sign. Playful. Sharp. Slightly dangerous in a well-moisturised way.
Top 10 Must-See Attractions in Berlin: A Guide
If you’re here, you’re likely looking for the grit beneath the fingernails of the German capital. You’re here because you’ve heard about Berlin’s unique position in European BDSM culture or because you spent your last three nights in a basement in Wedding. But eventually, the sun comes up, the clubs close (sometimes), and you find yourself blinking in the harsh light of Pariser Platz. Here is how to do the "must-see" icons without losing your soul, or your edge.
Beneath the Latex: Studio Sloe on Kink, and Fetish Under the Surface
There’s something quietly subversive about Studio Sloe’s work. At first glance, the images are sleek, controlled, almost sculptural — latex glinting like a second skin, the flesh underneath turning into shapes rather than identity. But look longer and the photographs start asking questions back. About desire. About anonymity. About the tension between hiding and revealing.
Under the Hood: Sensory Deprivation & Kink
In the kink world, we often talk about "the hood" as a prop of submission or a theatrical piece of a "gimp" aesthetic. But if you look at it through a neurological lens, a hood is essentially a bio-hacking tool. It is a manual override for the prefrontal cortex. For those of us who spend our days over-analyzing spreadsheets, navigating complex social hierarchies, or managing the relentless hum of anxiety, the hood offers something a spa day never could: a forced exit from the
The Anti-Tourist Berlin Guide: Where to Sweat, Strip, and Stare at Strange Things
If you’re nursing a mild headache from a night that ended at 9 AM and you want to actually feel the grit, the grease, and the wholesome nudity that makes this city function, then stay. Berlin isn’t just a list of monuments; it’s a series of high-concept lounging. Here is your guide to the version of the city that doesn’t end up in the Lufthansa in-flight magazine.
