The sharing economy is HUGE. Certainly, it got a boost when Beyoncé used AirBnB to rent a place near the Super Bowl this year. KinkBnB is offering rentals on dungeons, prison cells and adult playrooms. Their marketing director Ryan Galiotto,

“BDSM has been on the edge of popular culture long before Fifty Shades came out. Every new, kinky image adds to the progress of acceptability.

“I feel more people are becoming able to explore their own sexuality, instead of repressing it. We appeal to the sexually adventurous and curious alike, people who know what they want and those that are just starting out.”

His site, the “sex-positive Airbnb”, is banking on offering clients the chance to indulge in their deepest sexual desires without a trace of shame or stigma. Pick your location, then scroll through the guest rooms (or prison cells and play pens) that are available. Anyone with the appropriate space or equipment is free to act as host, just as long as they are open and “accepting of sexual diversity”. Some apparently even stay to offer extra “educational” services – though this is not officially part of the Kink policy.

“The idea came with our friend who has a rentable dungeon play space had her regular guest room dropped from a popular guest share space. That was when we realized that this was an important group not being served. We then put up the site, and got 100 users signed up within the first day.”

Exciting times. Galiotto is positive about how the company is evolving globally,

“It is getting better. We have almost 10,000 members so far with listings in over 100 cities in 30 countries. So far the response has been wonderful.”

The sexy spot featured above in is Los Angeles and goes for $250 a night. You can check it out here as well as other listings across the country.
