Why a BDSM blog?
Why a BDSM Blog?
Actually, I’m a copywriter by profession. And an astrologer, too.
I have had my own practice since 2005. Since 2015, I have been working for various media companies and running my own copywriting agency.
Just when my workload was starting to ease off a bit and I was finding consultations about finances, work and lost loves less and less enjoyable, I was approached by an old acquaintance who asked me to write a script for one of his online adult short films. The condition: it had to be as crude and raunchy as possible.
I saw this not only as a fun challenge, but also as a great opportunity to write seriously about BDSM for a change, which I now have the requisite experience with it.
Long story short; my script was so well liked that it even gave the actors (who were really used to some things) red ears. “Nice and raw,” the actress called my style.
Massad Magazine
As I could still do with a bit of extra work and wanted to start winding down my practice, I decided, following this remarkable debut, to broaden my field of work and, on the off chance, sent out a number of speculative applications to various adult magazines, including *Massad*.
Bert, the magazine's owner, offered me a spot in his magazine, which I gratefully filled with the follow-up story ‘Wet Rose’. About a young lady with submissive feelings who meets the brutal Dom ‘Boss’ online.
When I asked Bert if he might look around for a nice side job for me, he immediately forwarded me Indecent's vacancy.
He remembered the call he had seen coming along and immediately thought of me after my question.
I called go to the shop, was invited for an interview and was hired straight away after a two-day trial period. Not least because of my knowledge of BDSM, which meant I was able to advise customers in the shop effectively.
Suddenly I was not only a copywriter but also a shopgirl ;-)
And speaking of writing, so this brings me to the answer to the question: why?
Why a BDSM Blog
Because I’ve noticed that there’s growing interest in BDSM in the shop (including amongst increasingly younger people) and because, whilst there’s a lot of talk online about kink and BDSM, remarkably little is actually being said. About dynamics. Boundaries. Shame. Desire. Relationships. And, above all, the psychology behind it.
For me, BDSM is not only about sexuality, but also about trust, fantasy, intellect and identity.
Through this blog, I therefore want to share not only exciting stories, but also experiences, observations, humour, doubts and conversations from the scene itself.
Not a theoretical handbook from someone who thinks he knows everything better, but just honestly written from my own experience, curiosity and fascination with this world.
And maybe you recognise yourself in that somewhere. :-)
After all, BDSM is much more than whips, latex and bad Fifty Shades clichés. Behind closed doors, often the most human things are precisely what take place: trust, vulnerability, control, desire and connection.
That's where I want about writing.
