Mollena Williams and Georg Friedrich Haas: a love story and then some

I'm reminded that some people are living extraordinary lives, and some people have extraordinary relationships.

Mollena Williams-Haas is an black American writer, BDSM educator, and actor. Georg Friedrich Haas is a white European from Austria, a renowned contemporary composer. In 2013, the two of them met through OkCupid. He was 62 and she was 46. After three failed marriages, Haas wanted to get it right. They laid their cards on the table and told each other what they were looking for in life and a relationship. She was submissive. He was dominant. It was, to coin a phrase, love at first sight. This is an amazing story.

How to explore this story: Below, Mollena tells her tale in a NSFW video filmed at Bawdy Storytelling. I link to a 2016 New York Times article detailing their story: who they are and how they met. At the bottom, is the trailer for the 2018 film "The Artist and the Pervert", an exploration into their special bond. Enjoy. And wow.

It goes to show you never can tell. by Mollena
Tomorrow marks five years since I received my first message from some OKCupid dude who went by the bemusing handle “spicyspiritlove.”


The New York Times ran an in-depth article about the couple. This is a must-read to fully appreciate who this couple is, their relationship, and why the two of them have something quite special.

A Composer and His Wife: Creativity Through Kink by Zachary Woolfe
The OkCupid message Mollena Williams received in December 2013 was, in some ways, standard. It was complimentary: “Wow — your profile is great.” It was confident: “I am an artist, very successful (probably member of the top 10 or 20 in my genre in the world).” It was polite, signing off with “warm wishes.”

But something was a bit out of the ordinary, speaking to its author’s interest in domination and submission. The central desire? “I would like to tame you.”

The writer was Georg Friedrich Haas, whose powerfully emotional, politically charged music and explorations of microtonality make him one of the world’s leading composers. His work had brought widespread acclaim, but his personal life was troubled, with three failed marriages in his wake, when he met Ms. Williams, a writer and sex educator who specializes in alternative lifestyles. Shortly after he messaged her, the two began a relationship and were married last fall.
