Kink.com was founded by Peter Acworth in 1997 as ‘Cybernet Entertainment’. After launching the company’s first website Hogtied.com, and running it for a full year from his graduate school dorm room, Peter moved the company out west to its current home of San Francisco, where it continued to grow steadily over the following years. Cybernet Entertainment officially became ‘Kink.com’ in 2006.

For a more detailed account of Kink.com’s history, please refer to the 10-year Anniversary documentary that was produced by the company’s free video blog website, BehindKink.com.

Kink.com’s studios are headquartered in the San Francisco Armory, a 200,000 square foot 1914 reproduction of a Moorish Castle that served as a National Guard Armory and Arsenal until the 1970s. The historic landmark was purchased from a private owner in 2006 by Kink.com CEO Peter Acworth. For more information about the Armory, please visit SFArmory.com.

Kink.com operates sixteen premium subscription sites, a free documentary site, BehindKink.com, and an on-demand site, KinkOnDemand.com, that allows customers to purchase every shoot ever published by the company on a per-shoot basis. KinkOnDemand also provides exclusive access to Kink.com’s impressive collection of test shoots, as well as content from leading third party producers from around the world.

KinkMen.com, the company’s gay division, was launched August 1, 2008, with the release of our first gay bondage site, BoundGods.com. Competitive wrestling site NakedKombat.com joined the KinkMen family in April 2009, followed by the new and improved ButtMachineBoys.com in July 2009.

Kink.com seeks to demystify and celebrate alternative sexualities by providing the most ethical and authentic kinky adult entertainment.

We uphold a safe, sane and consensual environment where models come first.

• We expect employees to give honest, direct feedback.
• We foster an environment that promotes innovation and creativity.
• We are proud of who we are, what we do, and how we do it.
• We encourage people to explore their kink and feel no shame.

Kink.com is led by its original founder and CEO, Peter Acworth. The company’s executive team is led by Chief Operating Officer Daniel Riedel.

Kink.com employs a diverse staff of about 100 talented and sex-positive people. All of our regular site directors are full-time employees, but guest directors are occasionally contracted for special shoots. With the exception of our site directors who appear onscreen and a few other full-time employees who also participate as regular models, our onscreen performers are contractors who have either applied through our website or have been hired through talent agencies.

Kink.com has one of the best reputations in the adult entertainment industry for our respectful and fair treatment of models. We provide clean, comfortable working conditions and an honest and approachable crew; we ensure that models fully understand their rights and feel empowered to stop or alter a scene at any time; we ask all directors to follow a strict set of shooting rules so that all of our content conforms with our company values; we treat our models as professionals and compensate them generously for their talent.

Kink.com is the only major adult company that posts its standard rates. Please see our model call page for more information about our rates.

KinkLive.com is the live broadcast home of Kink.com, featuring monthly BDSM group and solo model shows from Device Bondage, The Training Of O, and The Upper Floor, plus impromptu parties and chats with lifestyle players and pros. Our live events are streamed live to subscribers via state-of-the-art HD technology. These shows are streamed in a higher resolution than any other adult live shows on the web. Please refer to our Live Shows page for the schedule of all live streaming shows.

Tag team matches for UltimateSurrender.com are shot in front of a live audience at the San Francisco Armory. These shoots are open to a limited number of website subscribers and to the press.

All members of the local community are invited to take a complimentary tour of the historic San Francisco Armory & Arsenal. Led by Kink.com employees, the monthly public tour takes visitors though all five floors of the landmark building and allows them to explore the facilities originally built to service the National Guard, as well as the elaborate and cinematic sets that have since been constructed by Kink.com's Art Department for use as production studios. For more information about public tours or to sign up for free tickets, please email tours@kink.com.

Videotape access to Kink.com shoots is restricted to major cable and broadcast television outlets and are considered on a case-by-case basis. If you are interested in doing a story about Kink.com, please email PressInquiries@kink.com with the details of the show you will be shooting for, the specific requirements of your shoot, the angle of the story, the format you'd be shooting in, the number of crew you'd be bringing and links to any credits of yours.

Photography of the facilities is permitted on public tours of the Armory; however, photography of shoots in progress or photographs of Kink.com employees are not allowed without explicit advance permission.

Kink.com team members including Kink.com founder and CEO Peter Acworth are available for interviews with major media outlets. Please email PressInquiries@kink.com for more information about scheduling an interview with any member of our team.

Except for a small number of performers who also work here, Kink.com's performers are contractors. We are therefore unable to schedule interviews on their behalf, and encourage all press requests to be sent directly to the performer or their agency
