Fantasy has always been part of human intimacy. From childhood games of make-believe to the stories we tell ourselves as adults, imagination helps us explore identity, power, vulnerability, and desire. In kink and BDSM spaces, roleplay and fantasy become intentional, collaborative tools for consenting adults to step outside everyday norms and into something curated, negotiated, and deeply personal. At its best, roleplay isn’t about escaping reality. It’s about understanding ourselves more clearly through creativity, communication, and trust.

Set within the shadowed elegance of a Victorian-style mansion, "The Manor Men: Victor" opens a new photo essay series for PROUD & Kinky Magazine—one that explores power, poise, and presence through a distinctly gothic lens. Victor moves through the pages like a well-kept secret, blending classic masculinity with quiet provocation as history, desire, and individuality intertwine. Each image invites the reader deeper into the manor, where the past lingers, confidence reigns, and every gaze tells a story.

By the time Danny Will Die Alone premieres its third, and now final, season on Dekkoo this February, creator Jack Tracy will have completed one of the most unlikely arcs in contemporary queer television. What began as short-form webisodes posted to OnlyFans has grown into a fully realized half-hour comedy series and one of Dekkoo’s most successful originals. It’s a trajectory rooted not in algorithmic luck or studio backing, but in something far more radical: honesty about sex, dating, and the loneliness that persists even when liberation is promised. Season Three doesn’t arrive quietly. Set six months after the provocative polyamory cliffhanger that closed Season Two, the new episodes plunge headfirst into fallout: emotional, sexual, and ideological. Poly relationships fracture, hookup patterns repeat, and Danny’s search for intimacy spills into speed dating, amateur porn platforms, divorcees, and New York City sex parties. It’s funny, uncomfortable, horny, and crucially, sad.

Las Vegas is often described as a city of excess, spectacle, and fantasy… but beneath the neon and noise lives a community that understands something deeper: liberation is not just about pleasure. It’s about safety, consent, dignity, and care. That is where the Sin Sity Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence live and work. Squarely in the beautiful gray space between sacred and sinful. For more than two decades, the Sin Sity Sisters have served the LGBTQIA2S+ community of Southern Nevada through radical visibility, irreverent joy, and unapologetic service. While we are widely known for our signature over the top “habits”, glittered faces, and campy style fundraising, our deeper mission has always been rooted in compassion, particularly for those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS through our AIDS Drug Assistance Program, SADAP. In recent years, that mission has expanded to more explicitly include kink-affirming, sex-positive, and fetish-friendly spaces… not as novelty, but as necessity.
