We are delighted to announce the four candidates who have made it to the final stage of the M(r|x|s) Switzerland 2026 election. We are confident that you will share our excitement once you meet them in person during the election weekend.
Candidates are listed in order of their names. The order does not imply any ranking or preference.
Candidate 1: Benjamin a.k.a. Barkii
I see the role of Mr. Fetish Switzerland as far more than just a title it is a responsibility and a voice for our community. A role that stands for visibility, openness, and breaking down barriers. I want to show the outside world that fetish is about authenticity, acceptance, and strong community values. No matter your age, experience, or identity, everyone deserves respect and a safe space to be themselves. Mutual respect and visibility are especially important to me particularly for younger or newer members of the scene who may still be finding their place.
Candidate 2: Koni a.k.a. Pup Portus
Over the last two years, I have grown a lot, built up a good circle of friends, matured as a person and learned a lot mor about the Fetish world. Now I want to bring all these positive results back to Switzerland, bring us closer together again and promote what we already have even more. Together we can get a more Fetish-friendly Switzerland back on its feet, despite closures and difficult conditions.
Candidate 3: Patrick a.k.a. ÅskaTau
A central motivation is my desire to strengthen a sense of community. I want to connect people, promote events, and help create accessible pathways into existing networks and associations. Through my work, I am often a first point of contact for individuals who are curious, hesitant, or not yet integrated into the community. Being in this position allows me to guide them toward spaces where exchange, support, and belonging can grow – and to contribute to a fetish culture that is responsible, connected and sustainable.
Candidate 4: Thomas
During the election of Mr. Leather Europe 2025, I was encouraged by several current and former titleholders to take part in this candidacy. After some initiat hesitation, l adopted a “why not?” mindset and decided to apply. This attitude has since accompanied me on my travels and was one of the main reasons why I attended many new events over the past year and ultimatety submitted my application for M Fetish Switzerland. With this candidacy, I would also like to give something back to the community that has supported and inspired me throughout the years.
