Hi there! Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to read :) We’re Becky and Anthony, coming respectively from backgrounds of renewable energy journalism and experimental filmmaking. To let you in on a little secret: we’re not involved in the BDSM or kinky scenes; rather we’re two curious minds always on the lookout for new and creative ways to connect with each other and the world.
A few years ago, we discovered a BDSM apartment not far from Berlin and decided on a whim to stay there. With no expectations, we went with eyes open and ended up spending the night laughing and playing. The experience has stayed with us ever since.
As life progressed, we became more aware of how overwhelming everything is: negative news, intrusive social media, endless to do lists at work and home, demanding children (incredible as they are ❤ ️). We realized how easy it is to forget the importance of laughter, intimacy, and playtime. That the more digitally connected we are, the more we lose ourselves.
And so we quit our jobs and spent two years conceptualizing and building The Circle. Our mission was to create a playful adult escape – a cocoon – protected from the outside world; an alternative to the traditional BDSM/kinky apartments out there. And we wanted you to be able to control how you use the space.
Two years later, and we’re super excited with the results! In large parts thanks to Felix Pahnke, the incredible interior architect who agreed to go on this journey with us. It’s fun, discreet, whimsical, modular, elegant; a place without judgement or pressure; a retreat for curious lovers like us, who want to discover new forms of intimacy and to laugh. After all, sex is a fact of life, something to be celebrated and embraced, not to be ashamed of.
So come, enter The Circle, where we provide the playground, and you define the rules…
