What is the Kinktionary?
The Kinktionary is FetLife's community-written guide to kinks, fetishes, and the words we use for them. It's more like a set of guidelines and a lot less like a dictionary of definitions.
Anyone can read the Kinktionary. Members who are logged in can help improve it:
- Suggest an edit to an existing page
- Suggest a new page for something that's missing
Every suggestion is reviewed before it goes live. Members whose suggestions are approved appear on the Kinktionary "Leaderboard".
When a role, gender, or orientation on a profile or in your activity feed has a Kinktionary article, its definition links to it. See How do I see what a role, gender, or orientation means?
Searching, suggesting, and the Leaderboard are only available in a web browser, not in the official FetLife app.
How do I search the Kinktionary?

- Click the "Search Kinktionary" box at the top of the page
