DatingKinky . com is - as the name implies - a brand new website enabling kinksters to get together . We talk to the brainchild of the new site , Nookie , to find out more ...
1 . Nookie , please introduce yourself . What got you into the fetish / bdsm scene ?
My parents were in the lifestyle . When I was 8 , I knew people with multiple partners , people with same-sex partners , alt-lifetsylers and cross-dressers .
I started my own journey at 19 as glitterati , and enjoyed the bejeezus out of that before I really delved into the psychology of “ the lifestyle .”
Since then , I ’ ve taking course , traveled to seminars and cons , taught classes , written books , owned a kinky venue , encouraged newbies , and always keep learning about WIITWD .
2 . You seem to be a passionate advocate for this lifestyle . Can you tell us why ?
Because for those for whom kink is an interest , I love what it offers . I love the acceptance , opportunities to explore , find partners who can love and enjoy you for what you love and enjoy and more .
3 . You are a creative person , and have recently launched datingkinky . com which sounds like a dating site for those into the lifestyle . Please tell us more .
DatingKinky . com is a new dating and connections site for kinksters , built by a kinkster ( Me ) FOR kinksters !
