Kink Went Mainstream?! From TikTok Trends to Locktober Obsession (with Amanda Dames)

Send us Fan Mail

What happens when kink leaves the dungeon and hits the mainstream? From TikTok tutorials on rope play to luxury fashion houses sending models down the runway in harnesses, BDSM isn’t hiding in the shadows anymore. But has kink lost its edge—or finally become safer and more accessible?

In this Kinktober special, I’m joined by Amanda Dames, kink educator, coach, and host of The Kink Consultant Podcast. Together we explore:
✨ How TikTok & social media helped normalize kink
✨ Why chastity & Locktober are exploding in popularity
✨ The rise of femdom, cuckolding, foot fetishes, and more
✨ Why some gatekeepers resist kink going mainstream
✨ How to safely dip your toes into kink this Kinktober—without shame

👉 Don’t miss this conversation if you’re curious about exploring kink or just want to understand how it’s shaping modern culture.
