Kink & Tell — honest field reports
About us — your correspondents

We are new-ish to this too, and that is the whole idea.

"We go to sex parties so you don't have to, but we would love to see you there."

Kink & Tell is a small, honest project by a couple in their thirties who got curious, did the homework, and started writing the guide we wanted on our own first night. We are not insiders. We are barely regulars. We just take notes.

If you are dipping your toes into kink and clubs and don't know where to start, this is for you. We're here to demystify and, where we can, to destigmatise. Every review is first-person, from one couple's evening, with names and faces left out and the honest, occasionally awkward bits left in.

With love and reasonable curiosity,K. & T., correspondents at large
