Kinktionary

More like guidelines and a lot less like definitions.

Welcome

Welcome to Kinktionary. Kinktionary is an online resource for and by kinksters. Built based on contributions from hundreds of Fetlife’s 10M+ members, Kinktionary provides a look at kink and BDSM related language, concepts, and community.

As you can imagine, this is a slippery subject - one that’s constantly evolving, and where personal variation can be as unique as, well, people! As a Wiki, Kinktionary is never perfect, never done. But it is updated, debated, and improved each and every day by people who care about the kink community - and helping others navigate it.

Any Fetlife member can suggest an edit to an existing entry. Just:

  1. Open the entry you wish to suggest an edit for.
  2. Select the “Suggest Edit” link at the bottom of the page.
  3. Make edits to the article and add the rationale behind the changes.
  4. Submit the form.

A member of the Fetlife team will review your submission. Other Fetlife members can also comment on pending edits.

Keep in mind that when an entry already has a suggested edit pending, you will need to wait until that one is processed.

You can view all open/accepted/closed suggested edits by all members here.

Thanks for visiting!
