SUBMISSIONS WELCOME for our next magazine issue "PLAY!"
Play is a multifaceted concept: voluntary, intrinsically motivated, imaginative, embodied.
It can be light or serious, structured or chaotic. There are rules, but ideally, they leave room for deviation, creativity, and surprise.
Play invites fantasy.
Play invites risk.
Play invites us to step outside of the box.
Within BDSM, play is a powerful and charged term:
blood play, pet play, knife play, play fight... But also psychological play, power play, ritualized play, and the subtle play of attention, trust, and presence.
Play can be tender, cruel, absurd, erotic, dangerous, humorous, or deeply intimate.
What is your idea of PLAY?
We invite submissions that explore PLAY in all its forms and contradictions.
Personal reflections, essays, visual work, (hot!) fiction, poetry, research, and experimental formats are welcome.
Deadline: 31.03.2026
