About Us
Based in Brisbane, Australia, The House of Dasein is a kink collective built by and for kinksters, artists, and the alternative community. We are a space dedicated to immersive events, skill-sharing, and genuine connection. Our history is shaped by the unique passions and ideas of our members, and we invite you to contribute your own energy to our growing collective.

The Meaning of Dasein
It means 'Being-there.' It’s a philosophy about being fully present in the world and choosing to live authentically rather than just following what society tells us to do.
Martin Heidegger (Philosopher 1889 – 1976 Austria) argued that humans aren't just "brains in jars" looking at the world from the outside. Instead, we are deeply embedded in our surroundings. To be Dasein is to be actively engaged with your environment, your tools, and other people.
This mirrors the idea of "presence" It’s about being fully "there" in the moment, in your body, and in the scene.
While most people live "inauthentically" by just following the crowd—doing what "one" does (e.g., "one wears these clothes," "one has this type of sex").
We move to find an authentic way of living and expressing ourselves, to realize our own unique possibilities and make our own choices.

Our Shop
We have always been huge collectors of kinky toys, we make them ourselves, and love the weird and wonderful. Our shop started as an extension of that where we found what was great and more importantly what was not. Our collections are what we found that works.
While we have luxury items we also love a bargain. If you are after kinky items you will find them here

Advice, Mentors & Training
Our Commitment to Community First and foremost, the House of Dasein will never charge for advice or support. We believe our community deserves accessible guidance; therefore, all of our classes, training sessions, and mentorship programs are provided entirely free of charge.
When we refer you to third-party services, please know they have been thoroughly vetted. While some may be paid services, they are professionals we have personally tested or who come with our highest recommendation.
Beware the "Paid Authority" Charging for advice in this scene is often a red flag for ego-driven motives. If a psychologist must train for nearly a decade under strict supervision to understand the human mind, we must question self-proclaimed "experts" who lack that structure and have only been doms/dommes for a short time like 5 years. Despite my own 15 years of experience, I still view myself as a student of the craft.
Seek out those who lead with humility and a genuine desire to support. These mentors never advertise on TikTok or Facebook; they are found through reputation and community work. They also do not charge.
