What does German criminal law say about BDSM? Is BDSM legal in Germany? When can BDSM practices be legally permissible, and where are the limits?
This 60-minute talk provides an introduction to the German legal framework surrounding BDSM, with a particular focus on German criminal law. We will look at different BDSM practices, consent and its legal limits, documentation, and what to do when something goes wrong.
