The BDSM 
scene in Finland 
is rather small by global standards. Most mainstream media remain ignorant of it, or only publish short, superficial articles. Most of the larger cities, such as Helsinki, Turku, Tampere, Lahti, Oulu and Jyväskylä, have at least one local BDSM organisation. The organisations are free for all men and women over 18 years to join, without any specific "kinky test" or initiation rites. They organise events roughly once a month or once every two months, both public events and events open only to members. Internet communities
The Internet forum Tuntematon Maa (Finnish for "the unknown land") is a Finnish internet forum, picture and story gallery, and events calendar about BDSM and kinky culture.
Because of the nature of the site, anonymity is highly respected and members very rarely reveal their first names, and never their surnames. There are various sections in the forums, including discussion about new events, private BDSM sessions, and help for newcomers. Many Finnish BDSM organisations, such as SMFR in Helsinki and Turun Baletti in Turku post announcements about their upcoming events on the forums. It has an English-language subforum.
