About us

InFLUX is a dream and a hope.

Our Journey

It started in 2018, when we bought a space with all of our savings and started bringing it to life. We had a hope of creating a safer space for people who want to learn, grow and express their true selves without fear of judgment.

We were too tired of spaces that would reject us for who we are and we were too tired of moving from place to place only to encounter more challenges and judgements. We were also tired of spaces that welcomed us, but did not care much for our safety and comfort.

We don't claim to be perfect, but we always strive to improve and feel like a real home for the deviants. For the rebels. For those who refuse to conform at the price of their own truth.

It is a space that is privately owned, in an industrial building that insures privacy and no sneaky neighbors. It is owned by queer, non-conformists and rebels, so you will never have to worry about an uncomfortable raised eyebrow when you join us. It is the labor of 5 years of love and desire for community. Be it kinky, ropey, non-monogamous, queer, all deviants are welcome to join us.

Our Team

Meet the deviants in chief, the folx who manage this space!

Kitty Rea

General purpose pervert

Explicit coach. Teaching folx on consent / desire / kink / feminism / non-monogamy / ropes

Kitty Rea is a certified relationship coach and sex coach in training, with over 7 years of experience in community organizing. She has been teaching about sexuality, BDSM and non-monogamy for more than 5 years. Opening InFLUX is her way of giving back to the communities that nurtured her and taught her. She hopes that InFLUX will be the place that opens doors and minds for others who might feel lost and alone as she once felt. She might feel hard to approach, but approach her anyway - she isn't an ice-queen, she just has terrible social anxiety (even though you couldn't tell given how much she talks). She could become your friend as long as you don't break the community rules.

Băje

The rigger

Rigger. Kinkster. Voyeur

Băje has been part of the Bucharest BDSM community since 2013. Shortly after joining the local scene, he discovered the exciting world of rope bondage, and started participating in workshops, first locally, and then internationally. Gradually, rope bondage became more than a kink, helping him overcome his shyness, and offering him the opportunity of meeting incredible people from around the world, and of sharing wonderful experiences with them. At InFLUX, he hopes to offer others the same opportunities, and cannot wait to discuss the technicalities of different ways to tie a single column tie with other rope enthusiasts.

Iulia

Fairy Princess

Fascinated by human diversity.
Addicted to feeling all her emotions.

Iulia has dreamt about the safe space where people can meet others similar to them, where it's safe to challenge cultural assumptions, ask whatever questions, talk, and communicate! And ropes, lots of ties and suspensions, such unexpected body shapes and human connections! InFLUX, she's been expecting you for years!
Some of the people she's met in the community have become her chosen family and best friends.
Iulia is a feminist and a bookworm, a high sensation seeker, interested in all things non-monogamy, BDSM, and shibari. Soon to be a licensed therapist.
