TANTRIC PAIN PLAY
Body Chemistry in BDSM & Energy Exchange Basics (CW: event concept) Key Message: Fun without drugs takes time, effort, and connection.

Waking up
(CW: alcohol addiction, strong personal opinion) For around 10 years, I lived in a limbo of anxiety and self-doubt. I understood that I was weird. I got that part. And I also understood that it wasn’t always a bad thing. But I still had no idea how to live with it. I moved to Berlin…
