How do I see what a role, gender, or orientation means?

Many roles, genders, and orientations have a short definition you can read right where you see them. Look for a dotted underline:

  • On a member's profile, next to their gender, role, and orientation.
  • In your activity feed, on the story that says someone updated their role, gender, or orientation.

To read the definition:

  • On desktop, hover over the underlined word.
  • On mobile, tap it.

If there's also a Kinktionary article about it, select "learn more" in the definition to read the full article. Learn more about the Kinktionary in What is the Kinktionary?

Words without a dotted underline don't have a definition yet. If you can't find the right role, gender, or orientation for your own profile, see I can't find an appropriate role, gender, orientation, or relationship type for my profile, what do I do?
