Kink

What is kink?

To some people, this could be something as simple as a blowjob. Yes, we have checked, there are people out there who really are that vanilla.

Naturally, there are others who go to the extremes of qualifying the ‘k’ word only if it involves swinging from the chandeliers, using a gallon or two of hot wax, or having your anatomy hooked up to a car battery.

Then there are the majority of people who are somewhere in the middle.

While it is hard to define, we generally find that most sex-focused sources describe this word as any sexual interest which falls outside of vanilla or ‘normal’ sex.

Sure, that is not very specific, but a better way to describe kink is what it involves, which usually means sex, which requires objects like sex toys, flogs, whips, restraints, and, yes, candle wax. Further, each of these fetishes in terms of what people find enjoyable is unique to each individual, which means this term could be described even more broadly.

If this sort of thing interests you, or if you say you do not but keep on reading, you are in luck. This porn platform seems to have more fetishes than we think you might be familiar with.

So, buckle up and get ready to explorer your own kink as you read our review of this fascinating fap site.

This Smut Site Has Always Been Controversial Even By Porn Standards

Given its name and certainly its content, Kink has always been a target of prudes, censors, radical feminists, and all people who are anti-porn. Further, there are people out there, even those who enjoy erotic entertainment, might look at this site’s “extreme” content and be put off.

When it comes to all of those people, we think that this is a shame – especially since Kink.com is one of the best fetish sites. And we are not just referring to the video footage but also when it comes to this platform's ethics.

Yes, you read that correctly. This website has a values section that governs the behavior of all performers and the crew. So, no matter how crazy the action gets, you know that everyone is having a good time in a safe environment.

Give this part of the site a read before you click on anything else. We think that it will warm you up to the site even if ‘extreme’ erotica puts you off.

A Fetish Site Which Was Made With A Purpose

Usually, when we do some digging into a website's past, we find that the founders have a background in photography, filmmaking, apparel modeling, or, especially these days, web development. However, the creator of Kink.com, Peter Ackworth, has an unusual story.

British-born Ackworth was a Columbia graduate who was pursuing a doctorate in finance of all things, had heard that a firefighter who had made a fortune by starting a smut site. It just so happens that Ackworth also had a keen interest in BDSM, and so in 1997, he launched the first site in the Kink empire: Hogtied.

A year later, he moved out to San Francisco after having dropped out of school to build up Hogtied and recruit fresh faces to the industry. After Y2K, FuckingMachines.com was one of several new websites that were added to the network over the years.

The network has gotten even bigger over the years to cater to nearly all fetishes and orientations, but the mission is the same. According to the site, Kink is supposed to "demystify and celebrate alternative sexualities" and, according to Ackworth, create content which comes "from an individual's actual fantasies."

But Getting Flack Has Not Stopped Kink Producers From Improving Their Craft

Though it does not work for every site, especially vanilla ones, the use of a black background and splashes of color in accents, links, and descriptive text works great on Kink. However, the use of color is done tactfully, and balanced out by a lot of white text is enough so that your eyes are not overstimulated.

Further, some of the elements on the site are changed seasonally, or when a new special comes out, so the website has a slightly refreshed look every few months.

There are a few ads, but they are all for membership or e-store items found on the site. And there is no issue when it comes to popups or other forms of spam.

While a little on the simple side, there are several ways to find content quickly. The search bar can be augmented to seek out terms that are specific to channels, models, studios, or all scenes. Along with that, you can select between different parts of the site via the menu.

Pick Your Porn; Pick You Kink

When you first log in to this site, you will see the typical disclaimer that this is an adults-only site. However, there is an additional option to filter what you are going to see already. To gain access, you have to select between Straight, Gay, or both kinds of smut.

Through the menu, there are a series of submenus, the first of them being the Browse option. It is the main way to find kink and has the following links:

Scenes – You might think that a website, or rather a series of sites joined to a single domain, have hundreds of videos – and you would be wrong.

Instead, this website has archived over 8,000 scenes (!) most of which are fifty minutes to over an hour and a half long. We will get into what you are going to see later in this review, but we will sum up by saying that no two scenes are at all alike.

Unlike most other sex shoots in online porn, every scene which Kink.com posts includes some neat post-sex interviews.

In keeping with Kink's values, all of the performers are asked immediately after the shoot – typically while they are still sweaty and naked, we should add – about their experience. Questions are open-ended, so the models do not feel pressured to answer a certain way.

They also ask them what their favorite part of the scene is, which makes re-watching every video, or at least part of the movie, worth it.

Models – A common misunderstanding of BDSM and other exotic forms of erotica is that there is only a certain ‘type’ of performer who gets into this kind of porn. There are models who definitely have made a name for themselves through alternative and fetish fap material.

Some of the finest examples of women like that include Skin Diamond, Isis Love, Maitresse Madeline Marlowe, and the world-renowned Princess Donna Dolore. But there are some faces you may recognize from the mainstream porn industry like Bobbi Starr, Ana Foxxx, and India Summer.

Besides the search bar, you can sort between the nearly 5,000 models by those who are most active overall, recently active, and stage name. You might be surprised by who you see.

Channels – Unlike other web-based entrepreneurs, Ackworth and his friends did not start with just a half dozen websites to contribute to his network. There are 28 websites, two of which are brand new, which cover a variety of fetishes focus on dominatrixes, working out, ball gagging, breathe play, and all sorts of rope tying.

Studios – Besides creating new content, the webmasters at Kink have made friends with a ton of other studios from all over the interwebs. Even though they are independent, you might want to give them a look, too.

Some of our recommendations include Femme Fatale Films, Digital Sins, and Harmony Films. Remember that there are another 28 websites to check out, so we say you should give them all a quick visit.

Directors – Besides Ackworth, there are another 16 prominent directors, all of whose work is worth looking at. But since that is a lot of smut to review, we think you should start with the busiest producers, Kirin Kurai, Fivestar, and Ex Libris.

There Are Dozens Of Fapable Fetishes

If you have not figured it out yet, this site has more representations of fetishes than most sites, even compared to most tubes. In addition to the typical stuff, you have got the expected kinky categories like Double Penetration, Rope Bondage, Double Anal, and Blindfold.

Beyond that, there are plenty of acronyms like BDSM, TS, and CBT. Then there are some exceptionally exotic sections like Speculum, Electrical Play, Pegging, and Big Toy.

There is even one which we had to look up called Sybian – and you should do it, too.

There Are Even More Ways To Indulge You Taboo Desires

Clearly, scenes and movies are the main media which this site is selling, but there are a couple of pages filled with interactive, sexually-charged media.

Live Cams – When reviewing most sorts of sex sites, we often comment on whether or not they have an original cam feature. Sadly, a lot of them still do not, but we are happy to say that Kink.com does. To be honest, it is not exceptional when it comes to erotic live-streaming.

But as you might think, the models here are far more willing to be flogged by their partners, shove shockingly larger or oddly shaped things inside them, and generally test their bodies' limits. Further, the design matches the same color scheme as the main site, and you get free credits by signing up.

Virtual Reality – Since headsets are getting cheaper every year, it is clear that VR experiences are the future of erotic entertainment. Clearly keeping up with the times, this site has a great selection of VR movies starring some of the best performers on Kink.

If you do not have a VR set, that is no problem – you can claim a Google google for free. On top of that, you can get access to this content as a trial member for only a dollar!

New To Kink? This Site Is A Great Educational Resource!

Kinky sex can be a great way to enjoy yourself and your partner, but if you are not educated on how to "do it," properly, everyone involved can get physically and psychologically hurt. To prevent this from happening, this platform provides you with plenty of places to go online and in-person to learn how to enjoy BDSM to the fullest.

Workshops – Reading about fetish sex can be edifying, but a lot of people benefit most from a hands-on experience. If you are that kind of person check this part of the site out to get a complete list of upcoming BDSM events in the San Francisco and greater Bay Area

 With the click of a button, you can RSVP via Eventbrite and secure your spot at the next titillating, interactive kink tutorial.

BDSM Resources – Of course, not everyone can easily travel to the west coast of the United States or are fully comfortable being around so many kinksters in public. As an alternative, this page links you to other websites to learn the basics of the BDSM lifestyle as well as other fetish-focused educational, social events in different locations and places to keep track of your sexual health.

This Website Is Also A Great Way To Buy Dungeon Toys, Too

Excited to create your own sex cavern filled with erogenous inducing items, but are you afraid to spend too much money? Then do not bother going anywhere other than Kink's e-store.

They have a massive selection of sex toys of all types for novices who are into naughty sex and advanced dungeon masters. For those who are interested in anal play (or perhaps your partner is), there are several colors and sizes of douches, enema kits, and anal training sets.

If you are going for something even crazier, there are a fair number of bondage ropes, lube injectors, fisting creams, and all kinds of chastity and torture items.

In case that is a little too much for some of you, there are “softer” items for sale like collars, eye masks, and comfortable love cuffs. Of course, there are tons of the usual sex toys like dildos, vibrators, and fleshjack devices, too, all of which pair nicely with water-based, silicone, and hybrid lubricants.

Toys that are the favorite of the webmasters (all of whom are just as kinky as the viewers) are clearly labeled on item preview pics. Further, some items might be a bit expensive, but there sales on items going on all of the time. In fact, no matter what you buy, you can even save 15% on your first purchase.

Kink.com Is Fun To Watch No Matter What Machine You Prefer

After a while, we started to deliberately look for some kind of flaw in this part of cyberspace. We are happy to report that having a poorly optimized website is not one of them. When using Kink on mobile devices, the same layout applies but has been slightly tweaked to render well.

Getting An Account Is Affordable – Especially During The Holidays

With all of this content, we think that charging more than the standard thirty dollars a month. For access to dozens of sites with hundreds of new videos added a year, plus torrents of bonus material, you only have to pay $39.99 every thirty days.

However, if you get a three-month subscription, you only pay $29.99 and $22.99 for half a year. To make things better, there are specials which are given away during most major holidays. Right now, you can get full access for $69.99 total – that is only $5.75 a month!

Major credit cards accepted as well as Euro debit and ACH transfers. Furthermore, if you signup now, you can get a Kink Live account, too.

Depending On Your Taste There Is A Lot To Love

It is hard to complain about (not to mention easy to stay hard over) thousands of high-quality sex videos featuring some the finest starlets to come across your computer screen. Then there is the fact that many of the features they star in may as well be full-on films given there length and production values.

Even if you are someone with more tame tastes, we are certain you will easily find a few categories which will help you tickle your pickle. Of course, if you are into the edgiest hardcore content, short of anything with scat or blood, you are going to see everything you want and more on Kink.

At first, we thought that there were not enough search options, but when we started navigating between the browse part of the menu, the category section and used the search tool, it is surprisingly robust.

Even if you use a broad term, you can whittle down results by tag, orientation, and include additional tags.

Here Is Who We Think Should Give It A Visit And Those Who Need To Join

Ultimately, we think that everyone should give this site a look or maybe even two. But, of course, we realize that not everyone is into the more than vanilla smut.

However, if you have a “dark” or “dirtier” side to your sexual, or just feel that you might, then Kink is a great place to explore this part of yourself.

As a website, since there are virtually no problems with this platform and torrents of reasons to join, we have to give Kink.com five hands out of five.
