It was the early aughts, and this was one of the first social media sites to gain widespread popularity. I had come of age in AOL chatrooms, writing about my experiences and finding community on LiveJournal and (don\u2019t laugh) DarkPoetry. Through the connections I made in these cybernetworks, I ended up having the confidence to move from one coast to the other, landing in San Francisco ready to reinvent myself for the first time as an adult.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media, in the beginning, felt to me more like a space where I could let my freak flag fly in a land where it didn\u2019t feel out of place. Sneaking Nancy Friday\u2019s \u201cWomen on Top\u201d from my parent&#8217;s bedroom had shown me that I had fantasies about bondage, dominance, and submission. I read every book I could find on the topic like I was starving. While people joked about AOL chatrooms being a place for people to have cybersex, it was also where I got to chatting with kinky people in the UK, hearing about events they went to, workshops they ran, and websites like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20070712000232\/http:\/\/www.castlerealm.com\/tours.shtml\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Castle Realm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that had information on how to engage in power dynamics safely. There were plenty of places to indulge in the fantasy of BDSM, but UK BDSM on AOL was the first place to ground me on how these things worked in real life while balancing university, jobs, kids. Later, it became <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20070910234636\/http:\/\/www.informedconsent.co.uk:80\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Informed Consent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which was centered around the UK community. With its forums and event boards, it was a localized version of what the most well-known BDSM site, Fetlife, is today.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here in the Bay Area, I didn\u2019t find that kind of community on Friendster or Myspace, but I did find it on a website that was similarly localized but not kink specific, a site called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20140110213643\/http:\/\/www.tribe.net\/welcome\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tribe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Within the site, I managed to find local groups centered around popular BDSM events, various kinky interests, and sure, even something weird and niche like cooking tips. I appreciated having a space like Tribe, which didn\u2019t relegate conversations about sexuality to some secret backroom, but let it be out in the open alongside other topics such as American Sign Language or feminist theory. It was a unique time on the internet, and I felt really free to be a multifaceted person, not ignoring any part of who I was, but embracing all of it, publicly and proudly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is when censorship began to make an impact on kink\u2019s freedom of expression on social media. In 2005, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinynibbles.com\/blogarchives\/2005\/12\/tribe-and-2257.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tribe implemented a new TOS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the wake of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ilt.eff.org\/2257_Reporting_Requirements.html#:~:text=Penalties-,18%20U.S.C.,or%20refuse%20to%20permit%20inspection.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2257 expanded regulations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. 2257 requires website owners to have physical copies of records proving anyone depicted in \u201cvisual content\u201d that could be deemed \u201csexually explicit\u201d is over 18. Tribe also included an easily abused flagging system that allowed users to tag other people\u2019s posts as \u201cobscene\u201d and gated the community so you could only view content if logged in. Many users left Tribe in droves, forging communities instead on social media sites like Tumblr, Google Groups, Facebook, and Twitter. Sites that were specific to alternative sexualities like Alt.com or Collarme\/Collarspace had a momentary surge in popularity, but people missed having a space that at least had a marketplace of ideas next to the meat market.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fetlife appeared in 2008 to fill the void and offer an attractive option &#8211; social media centered around kink. Initially, it was just another kink site, passed around by word of mouth, jokingly calling itself \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120630172329\/http:\/\/www.montrealmirror.com\/2008\/090408\/news1.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook for the kinky community<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d. But as websites like Craigslist, Tumblr, Blogger, and Instagram increasingly banned content to satisfy conservative banks and skittish website owners worried about legal ramifications, plus sites like Google and Facebook began enforcing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.protocol.com\/policy\/anonymity-real-names-jeff-kosseff\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201creal name\u201d policies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that reduced the safety of anonymity, Fetlife became the best-known refuge for kinksters seeking community. Focusing more on discussions and events than on matchmaking, Fetlife soon had an effective monopoly on altsex social media; sex workers, BDSM practitioners, sex educators, and erotica writers were being banished from other social media networks if they didn\u2019t play by ever-changing rules. Fetlife became a sanctuary of sorts.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the double-edged swords of anonymity is that the cloak that protects careful users from losing their job or their children for talking about being kinky online also protects people acting in bad faith. In the wake of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2015\/03\/how-kinks-largest-social-networking-site-fails-its-users\/385586\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fetlife\u2019s policy of not making criminal accusations against another in a public forum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (which effectively prevented communities from communicating online about abusers), many people began to trickle back to more mainstream social media while figuring out where to go next. Then came <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2018\/12\/congress-censors-internet-eff-continues-fight-fosta-2018-review\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FOSTA\/SESTA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a pair of bills that made website publishers responsible for content on their platforms It caused many sites to push back even harder against content that could be deemed \u201cadult\u201d and a lot of content on these mainstream sites was again lost. Even so, the desire for community is stronger than the fear of censorship. Eenclaves of sex-positivity defiantly formed, even in the face of hostility on platforms like Facebook, using creative language to wriggle around being flagged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a957a2f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a957a2f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_scale_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_scale_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:0,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;motion_fx_scale_range&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:36,&quot;end&quot;:68}},&quot;motion_fx_scale_direction&quot;:&quot;out-in&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a50fe41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a50fe41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">#KinkTip<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40e4f27 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40e4f27\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Why is it so hard to find kink content on mainstream social media?

Try searching for #k1nk, #qinktok, #kynky, #domsublife instead. Be prepared for these code words to change. Once they become popular, platforms will censor them too.

These groups can speak more freely (though <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/culture\/culture-news\/discord-nsfw-ban-furry-porn-server-1155178\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are still at risk for censorship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), but because you have to know someone to get an invite, they aren\u2019t as accessible for the new kinkster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, any of these options have their ups and downs. Cults of personality often form around popular content creators, with follower counts that can make them seem like more respected community leaders than they in fact are. Social media as a hub for kink community has in some ways created more possibilities for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-gb\/parasocial-relationships-online-cancelling-bon-appetit\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parasocial relationships<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for con artists to act as if they put in the time in these spaces, and for abusers to avoid accountability. It\u2019s a lot easier to dodge your past if you can just change your username &#8211; much harder in an in-person community!<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering how hostile social media moderation is against discussions of alternative lifestyles, particularly those deemed sexual in nature, why do kinksters keep flocking online for connection and community? Why keep fighting for our freedom on these platforms? Why not just meet up in person, you might ask?<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media has also had some significantly positive ramifications within the kink community. It\u2019s helped us battle a lot of stigma, for a start. It used to be that you\u2019d only read about kink in the news if it was related to a serial killer\u2019s porn search history or some legal situation. Love it or hate it, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/psmag.com\/social-justice\/breaking-down-the-pros-and-cons-to-50-shades-of-grey\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50 Shades of Grey<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> raised a lot of awareness that interest in sexual power play was a more common fantasy than anyone realized. It normalized average people enjoying a bit of bondage in the bedroom. It also spawned many think pieces that encouraged the casual reader to consider consent, negotiation, and safety precautions when enacting their fantasies, which is a good thing. People no longer felt like antisocial freaks for being curious about BDSM, which led them to have healthier relationships with their desires.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also think social media increased access to these conversations (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/life\/health-wellness\/2022\/04\/05\/sex-vanilla-shaming-shows-how-sex-conversation-changing\/7061689001\/?gnt-cfr=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we could do without the vanilla shaming though<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!). This was especially apparent during the start of COVID-19, when the clubs and munches that were often a first port of call for curious kinksters closed. On social media, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/5dgg9x\/uk-fetish-club-membership-higher-than-ever-after-lockdown\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people were able to share experiences and explore around others like them<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from all over the world. As a person with disabilities, many spaces aren\u2019t physically accessible for me, but with so many workshops online, I could participate in a way that was closed off to me before. I could find people who were interested in exactly my niche, which I couldn\u2019t always find locally. Not only that, but people who were looking into kink for the first time could find nuanced conversations online that didn\u2019t always feel welcome in the dungeons. Social media exposed people to healthier and more realistic takes on kink so they weren\u2019t just learning through an eroticized lens.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, I believe social media has helped make it possible for marginalized people to be elevated to positions of leadership within altsex forums. I\u2019ve been able to hear from so many more marginalized people thanks to social media than I ever saw at conventions, which often are inaccessible unless you have both social clout and financial security. I\u2019m seeing that change more now that well-known speakers are stepping off their platforms to raise other, less known leaders up, and I believe social media has helped raise that awareness of disparity. It\u2019s past time that conversations about representation happened within these spaces, and I think that conversations spurred by kinktok and Twitter have been a much-needed flame under the feet.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the online and legal landscape shifts, from more conservative to less so and back, I think we will see the average kinkster finding their own way to ride the waves of censorship. We found each other back in the days of carefully worded newspaper ads and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesaintfoundation.org\/community\/hanky-code-bob-damrons-address-book\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the hanky code<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; we found each other in AOL chat rooms &#8211; we found each other on Tiktok. The tiger is out of the cage, I suspect, and we will keep finding each other, over and over again.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
