If you have a kinky fetish and want to find an Internet date with whom to share your personal preferences, there’s an app for that.
A California company was working Wednesday to publicize its new “KinkD,” an app “dubbed the Tinder for Fetish enthusiasts and it aims to make sex life great again,” according to a statement. “During the beta testing period, the app has gotten about 30K users.”
After joining, “you are required to select your role in your kinky lifestyle,” the company explained. “The roles include dominant, submissive, master and many more.”
The new app was designed to end sex boredom for couples who have been together for a long time.
“Couples often complain that their sex life has become dull the longer they’re together. Sex has become a routine and not as exciting as it could be,” the San Francisco-based company said.
“The purpose of creating KinkD is to help kinky people connect with each other easier and bring a little kink into the bedroom. When sex starts to get monotonous, getting into kink can help you make your sex life great again,” said “John,” the co-founder of KinkD.
Unlike many Silicon Valley startup leaders, “John” apparently doesn’t want the limelight, using only his first name.
“The Fifty Shades series have inspired discussions about Fetishes & BDSM,” he was quoted as saying. “Society has become more open and accepting of kink. It’s now seen as fun and positive, not grimy and nasty.”
“While it’s all about unique sex, the company was serious in its business plan. Before globally launching KinkD, the KinkD team continuously improved the app based on the feedback from its initial users,” according to the statement.
“The main feature of KinkD is similar to Tinder – users upload their photos and swipe to get matched with other kinky users. However, KinkD doesn’t provide users with a Facebook login like Tinder, just in case some users are afraid that their personal information will be disclosed on social media.”
The KinkD app “aims to create a safe and private community for kinky people.
“Photo verification feature makes the community safer. Users can submit their IDs to verify their profile photos. KinkD’s staff review the verification requests from their users every day. Private albums allow users to upload some photos they are not comfortable showing publicly.
“If anyone wants to view the photos in the private album, they can send a request to the owner. Once access is granted, they’re able to view the private photos.”
