General
Does browsing cost anything for visitors?
Browsing listings and clubs is free for visitors. Any costs are only between you and the provider.
Search and listings
How does Near me work?
Choose Near me in the region filter and allow your browser to access your location. We show listings and clubs within your selected radius of 5, 10, 25 or 50 km. Your location choice is kept only for the current browser session and can be removed at any time.
Why does Near me not work?
Check whether you allowed your browser to access your location. If permission is blocked or your location cannot be determined, use the region and category filters instead.
Why do I see no or only a few results with Near me?
Results depend on your selected radius and the available location data of listings and clubs. Increase the radius or use the region filters to broaden your search.
What does the crown on a listing or club mean?
The crown identifies a paid listing or paid club entry. All paying advertisers and clubs receive this label. It is independent of phone-number verification.
Understand BDSM and decide for yourself
What can I find on Strafbock?
Strafbock is for adults interested in BDSM, dominance, submission and fetish. Private contacts, professional services and BDSM studios have different purposes. Read each person’s description and ask questions rather than inferring activities or availability from a role.
Do I have to choose a fixed role?
No. Dominant, submissive and switch are self-descriptions, not obligations. You may be unsure, ask questions and change your interests. Nobody needs to accept an activity to belong to a community or suit another person.
How do we agree on consent and boundaries?
Consent must be freely given and may be withdrawn at any time. Discuss wanted and excluded activities beforehand and keep checking in during contact. A role, previous agreement or payment does not replace present consent.
Does a safeword guarantee safety?
No. Agree on a clear stop signal and another understandable response if speech is unavailable. Pay attention to each other and stop when uncertain or when a response is missing. A signal supports communication; it does not automatically make a situation safe.
Contact and arrangements
How do private contacts differ from professional sessions?
Private contacts clarify personal expectations together; professional providers additionally agree services, duration and prices. Ask explicitly which arrangement is intended. Strafbock does not book sessions or process payments between participants.
What belongs in a first BDSM enquiry?
Describe your interest and experience respectfully without sending unsolicited explicit images. Ask whether the profile seeks private contact, a professional appointment or studio enquiries. Clarify expectations, place, time and possible costs directly; a message does not commit you to meeting.
What should I ask before visiting a BDSM studio?
Ask whether you are enquiring about a room, a particular person or an event. Clarify house rules, equipment, access and permitted use directly with the studio. A directory entry does not confirm an available appointment, particular services or supervision.
Does a verified profile certify BDSM suitability?
No. A verification mark or premium status does not establish experience with specific interests, trustworthiness, consent or the safety of a meeting. Compare information, ask precise questions and decide whether the contact fits your boundaries.
Events and privacy
What matters at a BDSM event?
Check admission, house rules, photography restrictions and on-site contacts beforehand. Attendance or clothing does not imply consent to touching or activities. Respect refusals and clarify how to leave or obtain support.
How do we discuss the time after contact?
Ask beforehand whether rest, conversation or distance is preferred and whether a brief later check-in is welcome. Needs can differ. An agreed conclusion does not oblige anyone to stay in touch or replace professional support for ongoing distress.
How can I protect privacy and recognise pressure?
Initially share only details needed for the arrangement. Do not publish someone else’s images or messages without consent. If faced with threats, pressure or payment demands for an unknown address, end the arrangement and consider reporting it or seeking independent support.
Do live cams and videos imply availability for real meetings?
No. Live and video services are separate external offerings with their own terms. A displayed role or content does not imply availability for personal meetings. The local 18+ preview confirmation does not verify identity or count as age verification with an external provider.
Safety and reports
How do I report a listing or violation?
Use the report function on the relevant listing. We review the report and block or remove the listing when necessary. Anyone affected must file a police report themselves. Upon a lawful request, we provide the competent authorities with the data held by us.
How is my data handled as a visitor?
Details are in the privacy policy. We do not use analytics cookies for visitors; only technically necessary cookies and local storage.
Child protection, access & rules
What common rules apply to listings and media?
An ad must accurately describe a real, legal offer for adults.
All advertisers and depicted persons are at least 18 years old and have consented to publication.
Only your own authentic photos or videos may be uploaded. They must show the actual provider or business being advertised.
No recognisable depictions of genitals. This also applies to pixelated, blurred or partially covered images and videos if genitals remain recognisable by their shape or outline. Choose framing or full coverage that prevents the genital area from being recognisable. No depictions involving children, animals, violence or excrement.
Written consent and all required personality and image rights must exist for every identifiable person and protected item of content.
What child protection rules apply on this website?
Zero tolerance of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
This policy applies to content, profiles, listings and use of our platform. Children and minors means everyone under 18. Our service is for adults only. Protecting children requires more than an 18+ confirmation.
Child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Content or conduct that promotes, facilitates or enables child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE).
Content, contact or behaviour that sexualises or exploits minors or targets them for these purposes, including grooming, solicitation and arranging such contacts.
How do I report a child protection concern?
Use the reporting feature on the listing detail page where available. For other concerns, or if that feature is unavailable, use the form on our contact page. Include the page URL, the listing ID if available and a brief factual description. Mark the report “Child protection”.
Do not download, copy or redistribute suspected material. Do not attach such images or videos. Do not continue contact with suspected individuals or conduct your own investigation. In immediate danger, contact the local police directly; our contact channel is not an emergency service.
Does the 18+ confirmation prevent access by minors?
Video previews require a local 18+ self-confirmation in the browser. This does not check ID or identity and does not replace effective parental controls. It does not block access to the entire website.
SafeSearch can reduce explicit search results. Google SafeSearch only applies within Google Search and does not prevent visiting a website directly. Add device or account restrictions and check their effect on the devices actually used.
Combine several measures: safe search, device and account settings and optional filter software. This reduces the chance that minors reach strafbock.ch or similar sites.
