Dance with the Monster

Sanctuar Clubbing BDSM Party

On the night of the living monsters, we unleash our most terrifying dreams, and hidden passions become reality.

You feel the beast's breath. You fear it and want it.

Fear, trembling, passion, pain, and need take hold of you. Do you run? Maybe you resist — while desire overwhelms your senses.

Dance with the monster.

As always, there will be scenes of surrendering control, prepared by the organizers or initiated spontaneously and consensually by participants.

Every interaction will be 100% consensual.

No one is obligated to take part in any form of interaction.

Any pressure or insistence is considered a violation of consent and will result in exclusion from the event.

Please read the participation rules carefully: https://sanctuar.org/regulament/

Dominance Workshop

Sanctuar - Workshop

How do we play with our dark side?

At some point, you may have discovered that you enjoy power, restricting, inflicting pain, dominating or controlling the other person's every experience.

Does that make you a bad person?

No!

At least not if you know how to manage your urges and play with them in a responsible way that is also appealing to those passionate about these interactions.
But who are the people who enjoy such things, and ultimately what does an appealing approach mean?

Are there several types of dominance?
How do they manifest?
What should we apply, and with whom?

How does dominance become pleasurable for the submissive person?

We will answer all these questions and many more during the workshop on 15 October.

It will be a free and open discussion about power dynamics in BDSM interactions.

We warmly welcome both new members of the BDSM scene and experienced practitioners willing to share their experiences and stories with us.

Submissive people are also welcome to tell us what and how they like best – so we can understand responsible dominance and the difference between it and abuse.

After the workshop, we can socialise over a cocktail/wine/juice/beer etc. on the restaurant's cool terrace. Only people interested in the workshop are welcome at this gathering, so that they can then develop and discuss the ideas presented.

We warmly invite you to an evening of BDSM culture.

Halloween - Munch

Sanctuar Munch

Community BDSM Halloween munch

An evening of reunions, new acquaintances and a welcoming atmosphere

We are delighted to invite you to a munch dedicated exclusively to the BDSM community, organised with a special Halloween twist. It is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with those we already know and, at the same time, open the door to new people who wish to join this space of dialogue, respect and authenticity.

We will spend a relaxed evening together, in a welcoming setting, where
conversations flow naturally and the atmosphere is laid-back.
The event is intended exclusively for adults (18+), members of or
interested in the BDSM community. We want a safe, respectful and
warm space where every participant feels welcome.

We welcome you with open hearts.

Let's get to know each other (or meet again) on a memorable evening!

BDSM on Stage

Shibari – Femdom – Maledom

A performance staged strictly according to the international BDSM principles SSC (safe, sane, consensual) and RACK (risk-aware consensual kink).

Six members of the Bucharest community bring before the audience three distinct kinds of interaction, all built on the erotic exchange of power.

Act I — Shibari

In the first act we admire a shibari piece, the traditional Japanese art of aesthetic rope binding, performed on a model. The power dynamic plays out through restraint and through the exposed vulnerability of the person tied. At the same time, the model's surrender and resignation bring a distinct note of sensitivity and sensuality.

Act II — Femdom

The second act is a femdom scene. Female dominance is something apart. Power and sensuality merge in harmony, in a supreme expression of the fairer sex. Before femininity, surrender and desire become one and the same emotion.

Act III — Maledom

The third act brings a maledom moment to the stage. Male dominance is one of the most attractive and, at the same time, most controversial power dynamics. The dominant man radiates controlled strength. His brutality is wanted and awaited.

We invite you to discover the secrets of consensual, responsible and erotic power exchange from the mysterious world of BDSM.

Plays

Possible BDSM play / scenes

What is a BDSM play / scene?

Shibari

Shibari is a Japanese form of artistic bondage that emphasizes aesthetics and the intricate weaving of ropes. In BDSM, it involves tying up a partner using various knotting techniques, creating visually pleasing patterns on the body while also ensuring the model's safety. The practice can enhance physical sensations and intimacy, as it often combines elements of trust, vulnerability, and surrender. Shibari can be both a form of erotic expression and an art form, focusing on the beauty of the human body, the texture of the ropes, and the dynamics between the participants.

Master — Slave

The master-slave game is a dynamic in BDSM that involves a consensual exchange of power in which one person, the “master” or “dominant,” takes control over another person, the “slave” or “submissive.” This relationship is characterized by strict rules, protocols, and roles, creating a framework for submissives to serve and obey the dominant.

Key aspects include:

1. Consent: both parties agree to engage in this dynamic voluntarily, establishing boundaries and safewords.
2. Power exchange: the master has complete control over the slave, which may include decisions regarding their behavior, daily life, and activities.
3. Protocols and rules: the relationship often includes specific rules that the slave must follow, enhancing the dynamic and providing structure.
4. Trust and communication: open dialogue is essential to ensure that the needs and boundaries of both parties are respected.

In general, it is vital that the relationship be based on mutual respect, trust, and understanding to ensure a safe and fulfilling experience for both participants.

Sensual Play

Sensual play in BDSM focuses on exploring physical sensations, intimacy, and emotional connection, rather than domination and pain. It often emphasizes:

1. Touch and sensation: uses various textures, temperatures, and pressure to stimulate the skin and increase awareness.
2. Tying and restraint: involves holding a partner in a way that enhances pleasure and intimacy without causing pain.
3. Role-playing: may include scenarios in which partners explore different dynamics, fostering trust and vulnerability.
4. Aftercare (post-play care): a crucial component that involves caring for each other after play, enhancing emotional safety. Sensual play prioritizes consent, communication, and shared experiences, creating a supportive environment for exploration and connection.

Impact Play

BDSM games, “impact play” or impact scenes refer to the practice of activities that involve applying physical impact to a partner with the aim of causing pain or intense sensations. This may include the use of objects such as whips, canes, riding crops, or even hands. “Impact play” can be used to stimulate certain areas of the body or to cause sensations of pain or relaxation. It is important to establish the agreement and consent of everyone involved beforehand, as well as to use only safe objects and under controlled conditions. It is also essential to have clear and open communication between partners regarding each person’s preferences and limits.
