Since we are international here, I would be interested to know how you perceive the BDSM scene in your countries.

Germany has several epicentres, which are mainly located in urban areas. Those who live in rural areas are therefore less likely to find suitable locations or partners.

My area, Cologne and the Ruhr region, is very well positioned with scene meetings and real BDSM clubs. However, many swingers' clubs now also offer space for SM.
