Liam Gordon Murphy, who refers to himself as "The Wolf" on fetish site FetLife, faces four charges over the first incident, which allegedly happened at a hotel in 2015.
The charges include two counts of aggravated sexual assault inflicting actual bodily harm.
A fresh charge, sexual intercourse without consent, was laid in June after a second woman made a statement to police.
Mr Murphy has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
On Friday, in a hearing at Downing Centre Local Court, Crown prosecutor Amay Tembe said the alleged victims aren't known to each other.
"As far as the prosecution case goes, they're different victims, different sets of facts, different types of offending," Mr Tembe said.
"The two complainants in question don't know each other. It's not like they've spoken to each other or are friends or sisters."
Lawyer Omar Juweinat, filling in for Mr Murphy's barrister Charles Waterstreet, told the court there was a "commonality" between the victims.
"What is very open is the relationship between the applicant and the complainants had evolved around a website called FetLife, which is a BDSM forum," Mr Juweinat said.
"Both complainants developed a relationship with the applicant on that forum."
Mr Juweinat said the victims were also linked by a "trigger man" who prompted them to go to the police.
"The complainant in the fresher matter provided two statements to the officer in charge," Mr Juweinat said.
"What she discloses involves a gentleman that the applicant will say is the trigger man to the complainants effectively raising the white flag and running to the police.
"That is a male who initially occurs in the older matter, and re-emerges in the fresher matter"
Magistrate Christopher Halburd ordered a variation to Mr Murphy's bail, which will allow him to access the FetLife account "The_Wolf_" for three hours.
"The defendant is to have access to his FetLife profile for three hours, including download access, in the presence of his legal representatives on a date to be advised to the DPP," Mr Halburd said.
His other bail conditions, including reporting to police, staying in NSW, and avoiding international departure terminals, remain in place.
Mr Murphy remained mostly silent during the hearing, giving the thumbs up to his lawyer when the matter was adjourned.
The cases will return to court on December 15.
