DDLG: what does it mean and what is behind it?
An explanation of Daddy Dom Little Girl, adult role-play, trust, and the psychology behind this unique dynamic. DDLG. Four letters that probably raise more questions than they answer for many people. What exactly does it mean? Where does the attraction come from? And why do some adults choose to take on the roles of Daddy and Little within a relationship? DDLG stands for Daddy Dom Little Girl and is a form of consensual BDSM and roleplay. in which two adults enter into a dyna

The Massage Parasite
Everyone who gives massages has come across one at some point. The person who pretends to be an interested client, asks several perfectly legitimate questions, wants to hear your voice because somehow they need to get a feeling for you before they can make an appointment. Especially when I had just started giving massages, I was well intentioned. The massage parasite has entered my head and my system more than once. Being flattered that someone wanted to receive a massage fro

Fucking bad news
And then, right in the middle of your flow, your world comes to a standstill. Everything you knew fades away, because there it is: the lump, the hardening, the change in your breast that you hear stories about and see in movies, but that you’ve always managed to avoid. No… this isn’t a sob story. But it is one that could happen to you too. Monday morning, after a Bind Me Los retreat where I had worked my ass off and put everything I had into the group and the development of t

Where rope begins and trust grows
There Is Something Special About Rope There is something special about rope. A simple piece of rope, when held by attentive hands, can transform into a line that connects. A touch that slows down. A boundary that becomes tangible. Sometimes even a space where, for a moment, you do not have to do anything except be present. That, for me, is the beauty of Shibari. Not only the pattern. Not only the knots. Not only the way a body looks when surrounded by lines. But what happens

The After-Festival Dip: When the Music Stops
Maybe you know it. You come home from a few days in which your body has been fully alive. You’ve danced, touched and been touched, laughed, cried, had sex, attended or given workshops, met new people. Maybe you’ve slept too little for several nights and lived for days in a kind of bubble where everything feels more intense. And then suddenly: home. The silence. The laundry. Your phone. An empty calendar. And perhaps a huge longing for someone who you met at the festival. I’m

Nazmiye Oral: de moed om de ander familie te maken
Op 9 juli verwelkomen we een bijzondere gast: Nazmiye Oral. Actrice, schrijver, theatermaker, columnist, Gouden Kalf-winnaar en medeoprichter van Female Economy. Maar bovenal een vrouw die haar leven heeft gewijd aan het overbruggen van afstanden tussen mensen. Afstanden tussen culturen, generaties, overtuigingen en werelden die op het eerste gezicht onverenigbaar lijken. Toch zoekt Nazmiye steeds opnieuw naar de plek waar ontmoeting mogelijk wordt. Niet vanuit conflict, maar

Linda van den Boom: What a Trans Woman Can Teach Us About Sexuality, Freedom, and Coming Home to Our Bodies
Sometimes you meet someone who doesn’t just tell a story, but opens up a whole new perspective. For me, Linda van den Boom is one of those people. Linda is the founder of Sacred Sxual Grounding and guides people in deepening their relationship with their bodies, their sxuality, and their life force energy. What makes her work so special is the way she connects her professional expertise with her personal journey as a trans woman. In a world where there is so much discussion a

Bob van RopeMarks: Wat gebeurt er als je de controle echt loslaat?
Op 10 juli schuift Bob van RopeMarks aan in de podcast STEAM. En nee, verwacht geen gesprek over mooie plaatjes, artistieke poses of perfect gestylede touwen voor Instagram. Sterker nog: Bob staat bekend om zijn nuchtere kijk op rope. Voor hem gaat het niet om esthetiek. Niet om kunst. Niet om hoe iets eruitziet. Het gaat om wat er gebeurt tussen mensen. Om macht. Om vertrouwen. Om verantwoordelijkheid. Om de psychologie van BDSM. Al meer dan 25 jaar verdiept Bob zich in de J

Tantric Joy 2026 – Coming home
After Hieros Gamos, the next festival on my summer calendar that I was especially looking forward to was Tantric Joy. The festival where it all began for me. The festival where I was born as a festival child. Some people feel at home in their living room. Others at the office. I feel at home among tents, morning circles, dusty paths, hugs, deep conversations, and people who truly look each other in the eyes. Festival time feels like a parallel universe. A world where connecti
