Featuring Pup Amp and Mr. Kristofer from Watts The Safeword
We teamed up with Watts the Safeword’s Pup Amp & Mr. Kristopher for their annual Kinky Census! More than 3000 people took the survey providing insight into the latest alt-sex and BDSM trends.
What are the most popular kinks? Weirdest fetishes? How many kinksters are neurodivergent? Are there more tops or bottoms? What’s our biggest squick? Is it common to not be into your partner’s kinks? How do most people handle kink incompatibility? What the answers to these questions (and more!) revealed about the BDSM community, what we fantasize about, and the most popular fetishes is fascinating!
And if you really want to geek out, tune into episode #156 of the Watts Your Safeword Podcast (you can find it on Spotify, Apple, or your favorite streaming service). Sexologist, BDSM expert, and Zipper Magazine Editor-in-Chief, Sunny Megatron, joined Amp for a deep dive into the psychological and cultural forces behind what the kink community is into.

We tend to associate safewords with BDSM, but did you know they can be used in other contexts too? Sunny Megatron breaks down what safe words are, what they aren’t, how they can be used in kink for ill intent, and how to customize them to fit your sexual (and sometimes non-sexual) needs.
Daddy role-play isn’t just for kinksters. Daddies & Zaddies are hot bedroom archetypes among vanilla people too. Contrary to popular belief, age play (DD/lg), gender stereotypes, and BDSM aren’t required either. Daddy play is much more versatile than most realize and the reasons why we’re so into it are wide-reaching too.
Munches are a great way to get to know people in your local kink scene. Find out the difference between a munch & slosh, what to wear, essential munch etiquette, how to find online munches, and why building platonic connections within the community is key.
