Libertine Vienna
Who is Libertine Vienna
Who/what is Libertine Vienna?
Libertine Vienna sees itself as a contact point and interest group for all those who are interested in dealing with the topic of sadomasochism or BDSM. Libertine Vienna is an officially registered association. It exists since 1986 and is therefore the oldest (official) BDSM initiative in the German-speaking area.
What does Libertine Vienna stand for?
Our basic principle is tolerance towards all forms of sexuality, which are enjoyed by consenting adults. To that effect, we strictly reject non-consensual violence, such as domestic violence, rape, sexual abuse, psychopathic crimes commonly referred to as "sadism" and the torture of prisoners.
We believe that it is important and healthy to get in contact with one's own inclinations and feelings and that it is more productive to responsibly act on them than to make them a taboo subject.
We are aware that people with BDSM interests are a social minority. The goal of Libertine Vienna is therefore not to recruit or proselytize. Our objective is rather to promote understanding of this kind of sexuality and to create a space for discussion. We see this as solidary contribution to a tolerant social climate.

Beginners Welcome
LIBERTINE Beginners Welcome
For everone, who wants to, but didn't yet connect to Viennas busy BDSM scene.
You are in the "BDSM scene" for the first time? Or you want to go?
You have been at a regular meetup, but ask yourself "what else" has Viennas BDSM scene to offer?
Where do you buy toys? Where do you learn skills? Where do you get safety advice? What to do in case of mishaps?
For answering all those questions we offer the „Beginners Welcome“.
This is not a regular meetup, but still we offer this connection point about every two month to ask all those question.
And - as a rule - there are no silly questions. All of us have started their entry to BDSM somewhen and have asked similar "silly" questions.
To get in contact with "beginners welcome", please write to beginnerswelcome@libertine.at.
What does Libertine Vienna not do?
Libertine Vienna is not a dating service, and thinking otherwise will make you unpopular quite quickly. But you will of course meet people with similar feelings, and many people have already connected this way.
Libertine Vienna is not a therapy center. But it is of course possible to get some help and suggestions from a lecture, a seminar or simply from an honest conversation with like-minded people.
Libertine Vienna is not an agency for professional or commercial services.
And Libertine Vienna is also not responsible for making your fantasies a reality. No ifs and buts!
