It all started years ago with a site called Hogtied, set up and made successful by a student from Colombia University, Peter Acworth. Since then, Kink has gone on to own its own castle studio, produce some of the world’ best Kink porn and earn many awards along with an excellent reputation. This membership offers you access to their collection of exclusive and partnered content, as it has always done, but it appears to have made a few changes since our last visit.

Let’s compare numbers. When we were last at Kink.com, we told you the network covered 25 sites, holding 13,800 videos, 11,600 of which were directly from Kink. There were 109 channels, 4,249 models and the content was arranged in 58 categories. Well, these days, the counting is slightly different, but the numbers are still very impressive. To start with, your menu lists 49 Channels (30 of which are direct from Kink, and the other 19 are from partners). Then, it lists Scenes, and there are 13,504 BDSM videos. Then come the series, where 10 titles grab you by the balls and drag you in to their specifically themed content, and a Categories page with 217 categories to choose from. These range from ass-hooking to waterboarding, passing through every known kink along the way. Finally, you have 3,691 models, and 24 free videos from sponsors.

That’s a lot to take in, but it’s actually very easy to find the content you want. Head to the Channels page and you will see some of the contributors and some of the specialties of those contributors. You have content here from Hogtied, Everything Butt, Kink Trans, Device Bondage, Fucking Machines, plus classics like The Training of Or, and Wired Pussy. Among the partner sites (with non-exclusive content), you will find the DDF Network, Tied Tales, Severe Sex Films and Submissed. When you check out the series page, you find movies connected by a theme, for example, ‘The Diary of a Madman.’ Like the others, this appears to have chapters (videos) showing the main character, the madman, doing all these kinky things to his 'victims', so it’s like an ongoing TV show except with gloriously dirty kink going on. All of which is one way of saying your membership gives you unlimited access to a massive collection with a huge amount of variety, but all within the realm of kink, and mainly about BDSM.

When it comes to settling in to watch a film, then you have no worries. You can stream or download the movies, and you have a choice of four resolutions. The top one these days is the 3,840 x 2,160, 4K HD version which is for downloading. (See membership details; most memberships are streaming-only.) The top res for streaming is 1080p, and that should be fine enough for anyone. You also have one mobile-friendly option at 480p, and then there’s 720p as well, and all downloads are in Mp4 format. Movies also come with a trailer to sample, plus a gallery of camera shots taken from the shoot, and you can take these in a zipped file. Each scene runs for around 40 minutes on average, and there are no download limits.

The content is principally movie-based at Kink.com, though there are those galleries connected to the videos. There wasn't always a lot of information about each scene, but you very often find interviews with the cast, before and after their hot kinky session, and each of the models in the index has a list of tags, so you can see what other kinks you might share. All in all, it’s a great collection of classic kinky and fetish porn from the masters of the genre.

I mentioned that it was easy to move around inside the members’ area, and it is. To start with you have various ways to arrange the content, so you can view the scene in date order or by popularity and user rates. You can search by director, category, tags and performers, and you can arrange the content by year from 2028 to the present. Then, of course, you have hundreds of categories to filter by, and they are very specific at times. The category ’19-year-old’, for example, sits right next to ‘Acrylic Plug’, and ‘Flogging’ next to ‘Foot Torment.’ You will very easily find your way around by using the linked tags words too, and you find these with videos and models alike. There is also a general search box.

Members have some of the standard interactive functions to look at too, such as adding scenes to a favourites collection, and giving them a rate. There are also comments boxes for scenes, and many members connect and chat through them, though there was no forum (that I could find, and I thought there used to be). You will also find an account area, making it easy to check up on your membership status, and there are those free videos to explore right at the end too.

You are paying for experience, class, and quality at Kink.com, which is why the recurring monthly payment is $39.99 (but for this number of sites and this amount of content, it’s reasonable), or you can opt for a three-month plan at $89.97, or a six-month one at $139.99. However, although the longer you sign up for the more you save, you won’t get any downloads with these memberships. The only way to get downloads is to sign up to the 12-month plan (that works out at $15.00 per month), which is paid in one instalment of $179.99. With that done, you will find absolutely everything the site has to offer.

Kink hasn’t changed so much over the years, but it seems to have shifted. It’s now easier to get around, is still stocked with amazing and very kinky porn, it still employs the best fetish directors and stars, and it still updates frequently. Now with over 13,504 BDSM videos alone, plus other content, and with the majority of this being exclusive, they ask a fair price for access to what remains the world’s biggest and best depository of fetish porn.
