Dark Romance Magazine

For those who have been waiting for it, there is good news about the first real Dark Romance Magazine: wet rose magazine.

Lijfblad voor de onderdanige vrouw.

Where Dark Romance meets BDSM.

English/Dutch/German translation at the bottom of the page.

Het magazine komt in A5 formaat, telt 80 pagina’s en verschijnt 4 keer per jaar. De rode draad door deze bad romance is het verhaal van de bleue Rose die online de barbaarse Dom Alpha King ontmoet. Wat begint als een spannend BDSM avontuur mondt al snel uit in de obsessieve verliefdheid van Rose en een ongezonde bezitsdrang van Alpha.

De scenes die beschreven worden laten zich het beste omschrijven als behoorlijk expliciet en zijn niet ieders kopje thee.

Desondanks hebben we er bewust voor gekozen geen consessies te doen met betrekking tot de stijl. Immers, lectuur/literatuur over soft BDSM is er immers al genoeg. De doelgroep van wet rose Magazine heeft het graag grof en hard.

The magazine contains the following (regular) sections:

• Alpha King & wet rose. 4 parts haunting Dark Romance.
• Roses Choice. Explanations and (usage) tips on the toys and attributes used by Alpha and rose in the story.
• Perverse Psyche. Different than usual explanation of various BDSM disciplines and the psychology behind them.
• Fetish Fact. Interesting facts about well-known and lesser-known fetishes.
• Naat knows what to do. Question column for anyone needing advice on BDSM, relationships, sexual development and everything in between.
• Sub in de shop. Interviews in de winkel.
• Kinky Kosmos. Naughty horoscope about lust, sex & red flags.

The observant reader will immediately notice that wet rose is spelt with lowercase letters. This, of course, is not a coincidence or a 'mistake'. Wet Rose is the name Alpha King gave her. Rose is submissive, his lust slave so lowercase; wet rose. Even though it concerns a name.

Connoisseurs of BDSM are usually familiar with this 'rule'. 

Non-fiction Dark Romance

What makes Dark Romance Magazine so unique is that it is a sequel story based on true facts. Alpha King and wet rose are not fictional characters.

They really exist. The magazine will continue as long as their inky romance continues. You can think of this as law rose diary.

Although the chapters can be read separately, they are not separate stories.

Because the texts sometimes refer back to previous events, it is advisable to read the story from the beginning.

What is a Dark Romance?

A Dark Romance story is a genre that combines elements of romance with dark, often disturbing themes.

These stories often describe complex and sometimes unhealthy relationships, with characters struggling with inner demons, trauma or the lack of a moral compass.

Some features of Dark Romance:

1. Complex Characters: The main characters are often multi-layered and have dark pasts. They may be emotionally damaged or struggle with moral dilemmas.

2. Unhealthy Relationships: A Dark Romance often describes relationships that are not ideal and often involve obsession, manipulation or even violence. The attraction between the characters can be both intense and destructive.

3. Emotional Depth: The stories often have an emotional charge and may contain themes of loss, grief, and longing. Characters may struggle with their feelings and the consequences of their choices.

4. Mystery and suspense: Many Dark Romance stories contain elements of mystery or suspense, such as secrets being revealed or dangerous situations the characters find themselves in.

5. Symbolism and Atmosphere: The setting and atmosphere are often dark and atmospheric, with a focus on the emotional and psychological aspects of relationships.
