What is Kink Online about?

This chapter focuses on sociosexual networking sites (SSNS) to explore kink that occurs beyond kink communities and venues. These sites have been mostly ignored in much research on kink, either viewed as a threat to existing communities or used only to recruit participants. Using interview data to consider how these sites are part of kink communities and help reinvigorate them, this chapter outlines some of the key kinky and non-kinky SSNS used by participants and distinguishes differences in uses. Non-community participants primarily use SSNS to seek casual kinky sexual encounters. Community members described similar uses but also acknowledged using kinky SSNS to establish new social connections and maintain existing ones. Finally, given the lack of literature on kink SSNS, the chapter explores what online profiles look like on kink SSNS for community members and how discussions occur in these spaces.
