Berlin has danced on the volcano before.

A hundred years after the Weimar era, the parallels feel impossible to ignore: economic insecurity, right-wing gains, and aggressive political fantasies about how men and women are supposed to exist. Culture feels loud and excessive again, but the background noise is fear.

For cabaret star and director Lilly Mortis, queer performance is not vintage nostalgia. It is an early-warning system. A survival technology.

In her shows, beauty becomes a Trojan horse. Glitter, high camp, comedy, and raw s3xual!ty pull you in, while sharp political commentary lands right where it needs to: against fascism, patriarchy, and the shrinking of safe spaces.

Because when the outside world hardens, claiming our pleasure, our bodies, and our stages is not frivolous. It is resistance.

Swipe through for insights from our conversation with Lilly Mortis.

Before a session with @ron_hades , you must do something most people find harder than the session itself.

Answer deeply personal questions.

Not a form. A list written fresh, just for you. Every single time.

Because Ron doesn't ask what you want. Ron asks why.

Ron Hades is a Berlin-based artist. The title says it all: Fantasy & Desire Architect.

This is intimacy treated as art. Full interview. Link in bio. 🖤

With gratitude to @sensuali_official — without this collaboration, we would never have found Ron.

We talk about “my body, my rules”, but most of what we call choice is shaped long before we choose anything at all.

Beauty standards, fear of judgment, sexual pressure, the need to be “acceptable”; they all negotiate our relationship with our own skin.

Body autonomy isn’t confidence.
It’s clarity.
It’s asking: Is this really mine? Or did I learn to want it?

If you’ve ever felt like your body was speaking a language you didn’t fully write, this week’s article is for you.

Your body. Your rules. Your story.

We met @chrissymbiotikka just before his exhibition BACKSTAGE became public.

Not in a gallery. Not under lights.
But at home, where images are still undecided.

This is not an article about sex.
It’s about presence.
About art.
About responsibility.
And about what happens when bodies are not optimized for the gaze, but allowed to exist.

Some images demand attention.
Others demand time.

This one asks for both.

We’ll see you here soon:

Tenderness isn’t softness. It’s a way of approaching each other.
Nike Wessel has spent years listening to the stories behind Berlin’s most open-minded communities, exploring how care, clarity, and creativity shape the way people connect.

Just before the release of her second book, S** in …, we asked her how she experiences this world and what she sees happening inside it.

A conversation about listening, communicating, and discovering new sides of ourselves.

🖤 Thank you to the photographers for these beautiful images.

Body art doesn’t just sit on the skin.
It shifts how you move, how you’re seen,
and how you see yourself.

@genevieve.thelabel creates pieces that don’t decorate you,
but define the space you claim.

From reworked heirlooms to chainmail silhouettes,
her work turns the body into a canvas:
without labels, without scripts, without apology.

In Berlin, she found the freedom to build her own language.

Now she builds pieces that help others do the same.

Germany is debating a 53xkaufverbot, but Europe already knows the outcome.

Every country that tried this model pushed 53x work deeper underground, increasing risk, isolation, and violence.

Our full analysis is live on S** & Society.

🫦 We fake desire.
⛓️ We fake control.
👌 We fake being fine.

Truth or Dare asks:
what happens when we stop?

Not pn0x. Not provocation.
Something riskier: honesty.

Are you curious? Really curious?
Or just tired of feeling like something's missing?

Ever wondered what people are really doing behind closed doors?

Maybe you don’t fully understand yourself.
Maybe your partner doesn’t either.
Or maybe it’s the opposite?

No matter what moves you, let our newsletter move you even more.

🥕 Your face. Your body. Their profit.

This is what happened to Cally Jane Beech—and to thousands of others. AI deepfake technology is turning real people into non-consensual porn.

🍋 For decades, we fought for real bodies, authentic pleasure, and ethical intimacy. We were winning. Then AI crashed the party.
