Last night Violet Blue invited Eve Batey, Lori and myself as her guests to Happy Hour at the Kink.com offices (aka Porn Palace) in San Francisco. Kink.com produces online adult videos, with a focus on unique and unusual forms of bondage and fetish. The company was started 1997 by fetish pornography entrepreneur Peter Acworth, back when he was a PhD student Columbia University. It has since grown into a hugely successful BDSM empire.
While at the Kink.com we took a tour of their facilities, including several of their sets and their basement workshop. Of course I shot a bunch of photos (which are all surprisingly safe for work), I mean how often do you get to have a porn set as your backdrop.
Recently Kink.com purchased the historic San Francisco Armory, a massive army barricks built in 1914. They plan on using it to expand their production studios, which in turn has caused quite a bit of controversy in San Francisco. Last month Violet Blue wrote about this issue in her article “Kink.com and Porn Hysteria: The Lie of Unbiased Reporting” for her San Francisco Chronicle column Open Source Sex.

Kink.com also hosted the afterparty for opening night of SF Indiefest film festival at the armory this year. Kink.com’s armory is a great location for events and a good use for a building that had been vacant for nearly thirty years.
Your pictures rock!
Delicious! Whoever built those banister knobs had some pretty amazing foresight into that stairway’s kinky future.
What’s the controversy? It’s just good clean fun (and it’s consensual). So what’s the big deal? I wanna go.
