Kinky Party, the event with a focus on BDSM
Kinky parties, which refer to events with a focus on BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism), fetishism and other alternative sexual practices, have a fascinating history and are an integral part of the modern sex-positive movement. Here’s a general overview of the history, evolution and some pointers on where to find the best kinky parties:
History and development Origins of the Kinky Parties
The roots of kinky or fetish parties can be traced back to the secret, underground BDSM scenes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally held as private gatherings to escape social stigmatisation and legal persecution, they became a safe space for people with specific sexual inclinations.
Popularisation: In the 1970s and 1980s, partly due to the sexual revolution and the increased visibility of the LGBT+ movement, kinky parties began to gain some public recognition. Clubs and bars began to set up special nights or areas for BDSM activities.
Present day: Today, kinky parties are a worldwide phenomenon that take place in many major cities. These parties can range from small private events to large commercial events that attract thousands of participants.

Tips for visiting a Kinky Party Research and preparation:
Find out about the rules and dress code of the party beforehand.
- Consent is crucial: Communication and consent are extremely important in the kinky scene.
- Safety first: Make sure to set personal boundaries and have a system in place with friends to make sure everyone stays safe.

Kinky parties offer a unique opportunity to explore your sexuality and meet like-minded people in a safe and supportive environment. Whilst the cities above are known for their vibrant scenes, similar events take place all over the world. The keys to enjoyment are openness, respect and consent.
Our DJs, directly from Ibiza and from the hottest clubs in Berlin such as Kitkat, Weisser Hase and Tresor, will take you into the world of Berlin Underground Techno – our leitmotif for first-class techno sounds away from the mainstream.
Forget the usual warm-up; we go full throttle at 130-140 BPM right from the start. We deliberately avoid quiet warm-up laps.
Our dance floors are mysterious and shadowy, sparsely lit by discreet red light that occasionally breaks through the floor. A strobe catches the dancers in the deep bass, while wafts of mist fill the room.
We keep mobile phones out of sight at the entrance – taped up and out of sight. We prioritise freedom within our dress code. You can enjoy the moment to the full without the flurry of camera flashes. Wear what you like and dance carefree, without the worry of being caught on camera. No photos, no videos – live in the here and now.
