I grew up in a sex cult – making feminist porn helped me overcome my trauma

Inka Winter has no memories of the day she arrived at the commune as a tiny child.
After her father abandoned the family, her mother had to seek work in Berlin, so four-year-old Inka was left at the headquarters of a ‘socialist living experiment’ just outside Vienna.
The commune looked like the perfect place to leave the little girl in others’ care while she earned enough money to support them both, her mother thought, and she made sure she visited regularly.
For Inka, who now has a good relationship with her mother, it is difficult to talk about their past. She doesn’t know if she was too young to remember the separation or if she has blocked it out to protect herself from the trauma.
Inka didn’t realise it at the time, but the utopian community which she was expected to make her home was soon to descend into a sex cult where women were expected to have sex with multiple men under the controlling eye of Otto Muehl, a former soldier who had fought for the Wehrmacht – the armed forces of Nazi Germany.
‘Free love’ was the lynchpin of Muehl’s Friedrichshof Commune, and members were expected to sleep with everyone, possessions and childcare were communal, nudity was commonplace and family relationships were forbidden.
