BDSM Beyond Binary – High Concept Roleplay
Those wild dreams that you thought you could never fulfill can be yours with the power of roleplaying! Byron and Lorraine break down the five pillars of roleplaying — motivation, plot arc, signifiers, ambience, and “wow factor” — so that participants can move beyond the awkwardness of improv into living their erotic dreams. Participants will be guided through exercises and receive a worksheet at the end to help them in their future play.
Roleplay can be a space to explore concepts that are otherwise unsafe to explore in real life. These topics may be upsetting or triggering for some. Please be mindful of this when deciding to take part in this workshop.

Byron
(he/him)
is a German-American with lived transsexual transition experience and identifies as gender nonconforming. A self-proclaimed “sex nerd,” Byron delights in exploring intimacy and creativity through erotic roleplay. With years of experience in roleplay hobbies like Dungeons & Dragons and medieval LARP (Live Action Roleplay), he brings a unique and playful perspective to the art of kinky roleplay.

Lorraine
(she/her)
escaped Canada to Germany in 2017. She has recently completed her PhD in Berlin, and is a founding member of the Berlin Sex Museum, whose first pop-up exhibition, “Berlin Sex Spaces,” was funded by the Berlin Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt in 2025. She writes narrative poetry, organizes the book club Sapphic Reads Berlin with her best friend Helen, and gives workshops on various topics as Capricorn Workshops.
