A cybersecurity researcher discovered that five iOS-only dating apps—BDSM People, Chica, Pink, Brish, and Translove—all developed by UK-based M.A.D. Mobile, left nearly 1.5 million images publicly accessible without any password protection. The exposed files included content from private message threads, profile verifications, moderator-removed photos, and user posts.

A fascinating new concept—known as the “tree of kink”—reveals that sexual fetishes aren’t isolated quirks. Instead, they tend to cluster into predictable groupings, reflecting underlying patterns in how desire develops.

Kink weddings are non-traditional commitment ceremonies that incorporate BDSM dynamics, fetish fashion, collars instead of rings, contracts, and curated power-exchange vows. These ceremonies allow couples—or polycules—to embrace their erotic identity in a formal, consensual ritual.

We have to wonder what did those suggested ads look like?
