My path & my passion

I come from the queer leather scene and from research. You can hear some insights into that. here. As a cultural studies scholar, I study queer history; as a Dominus, I focus on the practice. Both have shown me that BDSM has a tradition of rules, rituals, and responsibilities that is often forgotten. Queer, trans*, and other marginalized people, in particular, have developed survival strategies within these spaces. I pass on this knowledge as a tool.

My offer for you

With me, you'll learn less about how to hit, and more about why, with whom, and what happens afterwards.

Workshops on power dynamics, negotiation and relationship building in BDSM
Individual and couples coaching for people who want to build, expand, or change their dynamics.
Negotiation that goes beyond checklists: formulating wishes, negotiating boundaries, developing roles together.
Relationship types and constellations: D/s, 24/7, polyamory, Leather families, Protocol or entirely unique models
Leather history and tradition: Old Guard, New Guard and what we make of it today
Trauma-informed play: What do your experiences and your body bring to the session, and how can we deal with that effectively?

My approach is creative and solution-oriented. We are looking for Scope for action, not looking for the one right answer.

What distinguishes me

I combine practice, bodywork, and reflection.

Systemic therapy (in training): I view relationships as systems, with all their patterns, roles, and interactions.
Sexological Bodywork (certified): I work with the body, not just the mind. What does your nervous system say before you say „yes“?
Consensus trainer: Wheel of Consent, SSC, RACK and the question of where these models reach their limits.
Practitioner: I am myself Dominus and part of the leather and queer BDSM scene. As the founder of BDSM Beyond Binary, I create spaces where kink doesn't have to follow norms.

My credo

I live what this society still treats as taboo. In BDSM, I, as a queer man, have redefined my body and my desires. Powerlessness has transformed into agency. That's exactly what I want to share, because: Desire is not a compromise.

For beginners

You want to start with BDSM, but don't know how? With a proper A touch of curiosity Together we'll explore what appeals to you, what suits you, and how to formulate and negotiate your wishes. No pressure to perform, plenty of room for questions.
For people in BDSM relationships
Whether you want to build, expand, or change a dynamic: I will support you in consciously shaping roles, rules, and constellations. Regardless of gender, this applies to couples, polyamorous relationships, or leather families. Queer, trans*, and non-binary kinksters are expressly welcome.
