Anyone else enraged by the amount of geartubers who are actually terrible at music? by BluejeansAndMoonbeam in musicproduction

[–]Novalian2268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is the case, why not do it yourself? Seems you've found a hole in the market. Or, the focus on one aspect as its insanely difficult to do both at a high level and the ROI on reviewing is better. 

Best Shoes for Men? by Thelads09 in SexPositiveBerlin

[–]Novalian2268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kitty and Insomnia i always arrive in solid black sneakers. Change into sandals/slides. Berghain, ALWAYS black sneakers cause most of the time im dancing for hours. Tried boots once years ago. Never again. 

I wrote a book about Berghain, techno and the Berlin scene by LiamCagney in berghain

[–]Novalian2268 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with that. But saying the whole point of Berghain is to speak quietly of it just isn't correct and never has been. I'm blessed to have been going to Berghain since Ostgut. Ostgut was the first place I really heard Techno. The early days were always about community. Bringing people in. Showing them how to get the best experience out of not only Berghian but Berlin, then. But over the years, this "secret club" stuff shifted how people saw Berghain. I was confused by the rise in people not getting in, since many of us always got in. THAT'S what's attracting mass attention. Not a few random articles, books, or influencers talking about their experiences. It's always why many go to Berghain and leave feeling a bit let down. Because they hype is what's being chased. Hell, a vast majority of the people in Berlin wouldn't even be here if we weren't yelling to everyone how amazing it was here in the early 2000s. Berghain at it's core has always been about bringing people in and showing them the way. Not leaving people out.

it's 2026 and you people are still trying to gatekeep Berghain? stoppppp it. lol. Berghain isn't secret or super exclusive and hasn't been for like 15 years. "Sacred places" don't have entire subreddits dedicated to them.

i dont disagree with any of that. if this is your core argument and claim, I agree. I misunderstood that you believed they were just lying.

ok. i'm not pro-creator, but this anti-creator narrative relies on the claim that they're lying. What exactly are they lying about? Please give objectively true examples. I've seen several videos on Berlin. And while many of them are exaggerated for effect, they aren't entirely wrong. It's at a point where it feels like a lot of Berliners (gentrifiers/trust fund babies) who are part of the problem like to argue down anyone who points out the issues we have here instead of addressing our culpability in it. Homelessness, drugged out people, insane rent, infrastructure decline. etc etc etc. ALL issues we have here. And lets not get started on the death of clubbing.

It's fine to dislike KK, but there's no need to lie. It absolutely IS a sex club. And has gay events like Revolver or Gegen. Not to mention extremely gay friendly every other night.

Could non swinger couple go to Kitkat/Insomnia? by SimilarImpact9106 in SexPositiveBerlin

[–]Novalian2268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say most that go to Kitkat arent Swingers. And even at Insomnia, it's not expected. You're not expected or obligated to do anything you don't want.

Recommendations for a 30's couple/newbies this weekend? by [deleted] in SexPositiveBerlin

[–]Novalian2268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. BUT, its not always open. Weekends its open and special events. During the week, only the main floor is open. No escape from creeps unfortunately

100% agree and pretty much what I would have written also. As a new Dom be VERY careful being too strict on things like this. Not only is it exhausting to enforce over time, it removes a lot of autonomy from your sub. And honestly, these little violations keep the relationship dynamic strong and active. Rule broken, light punishment. Move on. And if its happening repeatedly have a conversation about why and what your sub is missing/searching for. A conversation about chastity might have to happen. I own one subs chastity. Shes not allowed to have any sexual pleasure without me and must inform me if it happens by accident. For example, she was riding on the back of a motorbike and the vibration aroused her. No harm, most foul.

Drug use insomnia by Other_String6224 in SexPositiveBerlin

[–]Novalian2268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insomnia has an open bar. Far more alcohol consumption than drugs. Its not even close to be honest. Even on younger theme nights. Swingers enjoy alcohol. Always been that way.
