Meet Whiplr, The Tinder For Fetish, BDSM And All 50 Shades Of Kink
Are you into the feel of silk or the scent of freshly washed towels -- like, really into them? Or perhaps you want to turn a scene in "50 Shades of Grey" into a safe and consensual reality? The new mobile app Whiplr, the only location-based messenger that promises to connect both experienced and newbie kinksters with each other, just may be the app for you.
Whiplr just launched today, but there were already a couple dozen profiles up. In one, a 25-year-old woman who is "100 percent" into men, lists her kinks as "fashion, behavior and sounds," while a 21-year-old male student lists his kinks as "just curious, objects, behavior, and odors." Profiles even allow users to choose "safe words."
Whiplr is free to download from the Apple store and Google Play, and if you choose to, you can text, voice or video chat with other users, or send them little animated "sparks" doing kinky things like tightening corsets or cracking whips to spark conversation.The premium service Dekadon allows unlimited chats and other features for $10 a month for a year's subscription.
But unlike kink communities such as the online site FetLife, where anything goes in terms of profile picture and language, Whiplr adhered to some rules in order to make it onto the Apple Store, said Sevitt.
Whiplr user profiles can't feature any nude or sexually explicit images or language, but Sevitt said that private messages aren't recorded or saved, so users can feel free to let their freak flags fly there. "We just didn't want anyone to come to the site for the first time and feel that anything was too extreme," he said.
And if Whiplr seems too vanilla? There's always the "platonic cuddling" app Cuddlr.
