For too long, the digital dating world has treated "kink" as a checkbox or a spectacle, rather than a fundamental part of how we relate to one another. We’ve grown tired of the "hey" messages that skip over boundaries and the platforms that make us feel like we have to hide our truest selves to fit an algorithm.

Kink dating has become increasingly popular, with more and more people seeking out like-minded individuals who share their interests and desires.
