What exactly is it that am I doing?
Well, first and foremost, I am here for peer-support and am available on several platforms and via e-mail.
Through my activity in various forums, especially providing help at Fate and Challenge, I am looking back on more than a decade of experience with a wide variety of people and their stories. Which includes my own life with this sexual preference.
I also like to network and connect with other groups and platforms that share a similar mindset like Kinder im Herzen or VirPed. So that we can learn from each other, support each other and find out more about the situation of NO-MAPs all over the world.
As an author and speaker, I am passionate about raising awareness and am happy to pass on what I have learned at any reasonable opportunity. I have written many texts online, authored my own book and NewMan and I collaborated with the authors of the support book “Herausforderung Pädophilie”. Also, in 2019, I spoke at the University of Heidelberg and at the Forensiktage Andernach symposium, for example.
As a designer, I know that design is more than making something look nice. It's about making what you do accessible, easy to understand and (most importantly) functional in the first place. Given that NO-MAP communities and related health support projects are mostly run on a voluntary basis or have only limited financial resources: I offer my experience and skills to help with logo design, flyers, business cards, info material and other design tasks.
