Berlin’s S&M workers win court case arguing that dungeons and erotic massage parlors pose no more of a health risk than tattoo shops or salons.

The city had originally roped the above in with brothels, but was proven incorrect during this hearing.

Amnesty International, a UK human rights organization, turns in a new draft stating that any kind of non-consensual sex should be considered rape whereas before rape was considered sex involving force.

In our opinion at Kink Weekly, we agree that rape is any kind of sex that is non-consensual and should NOT have to involve force to be considered rape.

Consent is the key when defining rape and abuse.

BDSM can involve consensual force and should NOT be considered rape or abuse at all as long as consent is involved.

Amnesty slates new ‘non-consensual sex’ category: ‘no hierarchy in rape cases’

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone – especially the ways we connect, date, plan things, and meet new folks.

If you’re poly/in an open relationship I am sure you have felt a big impact since Covid-19 arrived.

This article in the South Seattle Emerald spotlights several people in non-monogamous relationships, and how their multiple relationship have been impacted amid the pandemic.

Navigating Consensual Non-Monogamy During COVID-19

This article in The Observer of Uganda speculates about the presence of BDSM in Africa. And, based on the content, is little more than an uninformed rant about BDSM by someone clueless about what BDSM actually is.

“I am tempted to ‘diagnose’ a couple in my neighbourhood as BDSM enthusiasts, because the surrounding community knows when they have sex. It always starts with a huge fight in the dead of night, which has the village dogs barking in agitation”

This quote from The Observer of Uganda tells us a lot about how woefully off-the-mark and dangerous it can be when those who know nothing of actual BDSM attempt to shape public opinion about it.

I have no doubt that domestic violence is a problem in Uganda, as it is in many other countries. But let’s please stop trying to link that to consensual BDSM, which is the polar opposite of abuse.

Check it out if you want to have a head shake, a sad laugh, or just to remember that outside the bubble of sex-positive people, there are still many out there that do not understand that there is a clear difference between abuse and BDSM.

Indie porn director Erika Lust has released a new erotic mini-series called “Safe Word”, which is free to watch on her web site. Ms Lust is known for championing ethical & feminist-friendly production processes in the content she creates. “Safe Word” explores the many misconceptions of BDSM and portrays it in a more realistic and consent-grounded (but still hot) manner. Starring Mona Wales and Mickey Mod, the series follows Mona’s character as she stumbles upon BDSM by accident, and is then progressively deeper into exploring her kinky desires. Tap the image to check it out at Lust Cinema (did we mention its free?).

A German court has ruled that Berlin BDSM clubs may reopen, reversing the local ban on sex-oriented businesses resulting from Coronavirus. The court held that the clubs may resume operation, as long as they follow government guidelines to mitigate spread of the virus, including that everyone inside must wear masks. Given the out-of-control spread in the US, it will no doubt be some time before it will be safe for such events to resume in most parts of America. More details here at NY Daily News:

A Tory (Conservative party) member of parliament in the UK, Laura Farris, has triggered a huge online backlash after claiming that choking during sex is “degrading and misogynistic”. While there are certainly significant safety issues involved in this type of play, Farris is seemingly unaware that many people (of all genders) enjoy, consent to and actively request choking from their partner. People are unlikely to stop doing it altogether, so the type of article that she decried (which seeks to teach readers about how to do it as safely as possible) is all the more essential. More about it on Indy100 here:

Tory MP faces backlash for ‘irresponsible’ claim that BDSM act is ‘degrading and misogynistic’
People are criticising a Tory MP for describing a BDSM sex act as "degrading and misogynistic".  Laura Farris shared a headline from Men’s Health magazine on how to choke someone during sex safely, describing it as "deeply irresponsible journalism".  She added: "They decline to mention to their readers that if it goes wrong, they’ll face up to 25 years behind bars.

If you’ve checked out the new BBC TV series “Normal People”, you likely noticed it includes some sprinklings of kinky sex. This article on Redbrick argues that the show inaccurately portrays BDSM as “cruel, passive, and undesirable”.

A professor at a university in New Zealand has resigned following claims of “long-running conversations with colleagues on his intimate life and practising of Shibari”. Umm, ok. I get that nobody should be subject to sexual harassment at the workplace, but is this a case of kink discrimination? Would he have been made to resign if his colleagues had been discussing vanilla dating habits with him?

The Netflix movie “365 days” has generated some serious backlash. It features kidnapping and sexual abuse in a light that seems to in some way condone it. And people are not happy. Its not really about BDSM as such (because its non-consensual abuse, which is very difference), but some people are bound to get the two mixed up and drag BDSM into the conversation. Check out the article on Stardust:
