Behind the counter, a guy with a thick German accent and a leather dog mask hands us a garbage bag and asks for oun phones. It’s a Tuesday night in Berlin and not yet 10.30pm. Chewing madly on gum, dog-man tells us to put everything in the bag and places it in one of the cubbies behind him. Well there goes our security blankets. At least I’m still wearing clothes. Only 15 minutes ago we were enjoying an innocent drink with friends. Now we’re standing slightly bewildered at the entrance to KitKatClub, one of Berlin’s most well-known sex clubs.
She told friends that “something was missing in her life.”
And she thought she had found it in the BDSM (bondage, dominance, sadism and masochism) community. In October 2012, Beck left her family and moved to Clarksville, Tennessee to learn about the sexual practice.
USA – Like most people, I’ve never had a particularly intimate relationship with my feet. They get me places and occasionally give me blisters, and that’s about it. I regard them as roughly on a par with my elbows – un-glamorous but mainly functional. That is, until I discovered them on Wikifeet.
If you’re not already familiar with Wikifeet, think of it as an online directory of celebrity foot pictures, lovingly maintained by a volunteer army of foot fetishists. I stumbled across it in 2022 while trying to Google a photo that somebody had taken of me at a fashion industry event. There I was, or rather there were my feet: on a kink website that gets 20m views a month. I had naturally assumed that journalists were not the target focus of a celebrity fetish website, given that I have yet to star in a James Bond film or become an Estée Lauder brand ambassador. Unfortunately, it seems like anybody who does a mildly public-facing job is considered fair game, and a few podcasts and brief TV appearances were enough for me to qualify.
UK – Pictures have emerged of a ‘bondage kit’ collected by a security guard accused of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder Holly Willoughby – as a court heard how he planned to ‘keep’ the TV star in an abandoned stud farm with ‘cells’.
Gavin Plumb, 37, sent a video to a potential accomplice of the items laid out on a bed, which was played to jurors at Chelmsford Crown Court.
The text accompanying the WhatsApp video said ‘it’s play time’, and in the footage the defendant’s voice is heard listing the items – including ankle shackles, ball gag, rope, metal cable ties and handcuffs.
UK – The Express’s Sam Lister reveals that during Theresa May’s campaign the Tory party placed their journalists in a hotel with a bondage kit in the wardrobe.

“It’s Smithfield Market, which for anyone who’s not familiar, is a meat market, so you have to have a bit of a strong stomach.
“You’ve just woken up and you’re confronted by lots of lovely…you know, hanging carcasses.”
UK – NORFOLK – A former air traffic controller accidentally ‘strangled’ himself after strapping his arms and legs into a bondage cage, an inquest has heard.
Adam Gillespie, 31, is believed to have also used the BDSM equipment to put a collar around his neck while alone so he could await his partner’s arrival.
Norfolk Coroner’s Court was told how his partner of three years Henri Andrews-Buller found him ‘cold and unresponsive’ in a bedroom when he got back from work at 6.30pm on October 28 last year.
Ross Davidson, of Finchley, north London, denies three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, one count of voyeurism, one count of intimidation and one of controlling behaviour
UK – A court has heard how singer Ross Davidson “raped a woman in bondage” before sending her promotional emails’ about the band he was in before he joined Spandau Ballet.
Ross Davidson, 36, who was best known to fans as Ross Wild, wanted sex up to six times a night and would force himself on women who refused, it is claimed. Jurors heard the singer was ‘a bit of a sex symbol’ after starring in the West End musical We Will Rock You about a decade ago.
The singer – who became the lead singer in Spandau Ballet in 2018 – is accused of a series of sex offences against five women and raped three of them, a court has heard. It’s claimed the offences took place over a ten year period between 2013 and 2023.
Davidson appeared at Wood Green Crown Court wearing a tweed jacket and white shirt. A woman alleged to have been raped by the ex Spandau Ballet star in his London flat in 2015, stated that sexual relations with him felt “transactional”.
She gave evidence via video which was played to the court. In her evidence, she told the court that Davidson would randomly attach her to a leather-and-buckle collar that connected her neck to her wrists. She said: “I remember whilst I was in London, at the property, mid-conversation – without stopping the conversation – he left the room and came back in with a collar that connected to wrist-cuffs.
THAILAND – A Thai man turned to social media influencer Guntouch “Gun” Pongpaiboonwet for help after his wife, who worked as a nurse, allegedly cheated on him and became addicted to sadistic BDSM sex with the director of the hospital in the central province of Nonthaburi.
The 30 year old man, named Boy, revealed during a press conference with Gun and multiple news agencies that he has a four year old child with his 28 year old wife and lived happily together until the hospital director stepped into their lives last year, 2023.
His wife changed. She refused to answer his phone calls, did not return home, and often visited the house of someone she claimed was her female colleague.
USA – CHICAGO – Behind the blacked-out windows of a Near West Side storefront building, 10 dominatrixes offer clients a variety of services at what’s billed as “Chicago’s premier dungeon,” catering to people with sexual fetishes.
For 32 years, Chicago Illusions has been in business there.
For the past two decades, the property owner has taken advantage of a Cook County program to give tax breaks to owners of small storefront buildings that also have apartments. He’s used that program to cut his real estate taxes by 60% a year — for a tax savings totaling nearly $300,000.
USA – NEW YORK – Illegal Ecuadorian migrant Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi allegedly confessed to cops that he recorded his twisted sex attack on a bound and gagged New York teen girl.
Cops say the 25-year-old accused rapist broke his silence in a court hearing.
He has now been arraigned on charges of rape, predatory sexual assault, kidnapping and a slew of other felonies from the horrific June 13 attack in a Queens park.
“I was nervous at first, then got comfortable and recorded it,” Inga-Landi confessed in his videotaped statement to detectives.
Inga-Landi crossed the border from Mexico in 2021 and was ordered out in 2022.
USA – Amanda Lepore relives her wildest and most memorable years as a dominatrix, downtown party girl, and fashion icon, for W magazine’s Life in Parties.
Astro Domina went from working three jobs ‘all day, every day’ for three years to make ends meet to owning her own dungeon in Washington, Seattle, being a creator on My.Club – an AI-version fan club platform – and raining in half-a-million dollars a year.
Looking back on the last decade of being in the sex industry, she tells UNILAD some of the strangest requests she’s received and one’s she refuses to entertain.
But not for everyone. For many, the opposite is true, new data shows.
The stinky habit is now the second most popular sexual fetish around the world, according to a global report.
Researchers at kink and fetish platform Clips4Sale analyzed search data and sales related to popular fetishes.
They found that while bondage reigned supreme worldwide, searches for passing gas exploded by 430 percent in just the past year, with sales of related paraphernalia jumping 40 percent.
USA – A recent paper published in Archives of Sexual Behaviorexplores BDSM (Bondage and discipline, Dominance and submission, and Sadism and Masochism) through an evolutionary psychological framework. The paper highlights how biological, psychological, and social factors contribute to BDSM interests and behaviors.
BDSM encompasses a variety of physical, psychological, and sexual role-play activities involving consensual power exchanges. These activities can include power play, physical restraint, and sensory experiences, with participants often divided into roles such as dominant, submissive, or switch (those who alternate roles).
Despite the widespread interest and participation in BDSM, it is often misunderstood and stigmatized. Many misconceptions exist, such as equating BDSM with violence or believing that pain is central to all BDSM interactions. In reality, BDSM is a consensual activity where boundaries and safe words are established to ensure mutual pleasure and safety.
USA – A hot-pink bear appearing to be wearing fetish clothing was situated outside a Disney Springs-area hotel in Florida over the weekend, only to be removed after criticism on social media.
An image tweeted by @libsoftiktok showed the bear outside the Crowne Plaza Orlando – Lake Buena Vista hotel in the 8600 block of Palm Parkway.
“.@CrownePlaza why are you subjecting young children to looking at a b*ndage teddy bear? Disgusting,” X account @LibsofTikTok tweeted Friday evening. “We called the hotel and they told us it was for a private pride event but that the bear will remain up throughout the entire weekend.”
The property is an IHG hotel, and the company said a client that is hosting an event this weekend during a “full buyout” had brought the outdoor decorations for display.
