Prioritize your sexual health & mental well-being

About Kink Responsibly

Living your best (sex) life can be wild, thrilling, and full of discovery. You’re at Beyond Darklands to embrace your freedom, explore your desires, and connect with a community that gets you. But fully enjoying yourself also means understanding how sex, chems, and mental health influence one another. Kink Responsibly helps you navigate these dynamics with more clarity and confidence.

After last year’s successful debut, we’re bringing Kink Responsibly back to Beyond Darklands. This time with fresh insights, interactive games and space for real conversations about everything that shapes your pleasure and well-being. Together with Belgian health and community organizations, we offer accessible information, surprising eye-openers, engaging displays, clear facts, myth-busting and guidance you can actually use.

What you’ll discover

A healthy mind in a healthy body—that’s the foundation of feeling good and enjoying yourself fully. From that starting point, we dive into topics like chemsex and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

  • How are you doing? Do the self-scan!
  • How can you spot the signs of STIs early on?
  • Do you use chems during sex and want to better understand their interactions with other substances or medications?
  • Have you been feeling low or overwhelmed and want practical ways to cope?
  • Are you familiar with S.S.C. (Safe, Sane, and Consensual) and R.A.C.K. (Risk-Aware Consensual Kink) to help guide your kink and play dynamics?
  • Break through persistent myths and get the facts that truly matter.
  • Match the right protection method with an STI and discover what actually works.
