Well, I'm just about 30 miles away at the moment, sitting in Bern, capital of Switzerland.
Switzerland is pretty conservative when it comes to BDSM. It has long way to go if it wants to be compared with Germany or Netherlands. At the moment, it reminds me more to the US and specially to Texas.
But, and that's a good thing, there is BDSM live and I've found it without turning every rock of the Alps.
Since June this year, we - that is Ibinuphis, Umino and myself - managed to organize a monthly rope gathering called Seilschaften. Right form the start, we had about 20-30 people turning up every time and every time we see some new faces (which is not related to any type of oblivion on my part ;-) ). We meet in Rothrist, which is pretty much in the center of the German speaking part of Switzerland.
We always do a little workshop like thingy at the start of each gathering, talking about rope related topic or showing some basic ties to get the beginners going and interested. They pick up quickly! Yesterdays topic was "Behavior while watching a rope scene".
Following this more or less official part, we peer up and start tying. Cool stuff, watching 10 - 15 couples doing rope!
Next Seilschaften is at Dec 13th. and I'm happy to be part of it.
