Peter Acworth, founder and CEO of the BDSM porn empire Kink.com, has just announced “the end of an era.” In February, Kink actors will do their final shoot in the world-famous San Francisco Armory, the historic castle-like building that’s also a popular destination for tourists and porn enthusiasts. The Kink.com studio is just another unfortunate casualty of the rapidly gentrifying city, which has made it financially impossible for Acworth to continue production in the Armory.
Although Kink.com will continue to provide content to subscribers, porn actors are lamenting the closure of the porn studio that, as the Guardian explains, “elevated the profile of fetish entertainment and BDSM and provided stable jobs and a safe workplace for LGBT people and sex workers.” Over the years, the national landmark held tours, workshops and other porn events, as well as made it their mission to “demystify and celebrate alternative sexualities by providing the most ethical and authentic kinky adult entertainment.” Ultimately, the proliferation of free porn made it impossible for Kink to stay afloat in San Francisco—but the Armory’s kinky legacy will live on.
