Kinky Messaging Apps

Whiplr is the "50 Shades" of Apps

Marketed as a "messenger with kinks," the Whiplr app is specially designed to get you out of your comfort zone in the bedroom.

Thanks to 50 Shades of Grey, kink has transcended the world of taboo. No longer relegated to the back closet, the nipple clamps and latex are hanging out on the kitchen table.

If chains and whips excite you, but you're unsure how to go about experimenting with them, then Whiplr is the app for you. Its friendly platform allows curious users the opportunity to dip their toe into the world of kink and fetish using text, voice and video chat options. And, if you decide that you'd like to let your kinky side free outside of the virtual world, Whiplr will even connect you to potential play partners.
