Who writes our guides
Every guide is written by a named educator on our team — never an anonymous content mill or a generic AI dump. You can see who they are, what they focus on, and everything they've written on our writers page. We believe you deserve to know who is talking to you about your body and your desires.
How we fact-check
Before a guide is published, it is fact-checked for accuracy and reviewed for clarity. Where a guide makes a claim about health, psychology, or risk, we check it against reputable sources and link to them so you can read further — organisations like Planned Parenthood and other established sexual-health resources. We write in plain language and update guides as our understanding improves.
Safety and consent come first
Kink is for consenting adults, and some of it carries real physical or emotional risk. Every guide that touches a riskier practice covers consent, communication, and safety as part of the guide — not as an afterthought. Safety-critical topics get an extra review before they go live, and we will always tell you plainly when something requires care, negotiation, or a safeword.
What we don't claim
We're experienced educators, researchers, and writers — not a medical practice. We do notclaim to be certified sex therapists, licensed clinicians, or doctors, and nothing here is medical or mental-health advice. If you have a medical concern, are in distress, or need personalised guidance, please speak to a qualified professional. We'd rather be honest about what we are than borrow authority we haven't earned.
Sources
For health and safety facts — contraception, STI prevention, anatomy — we point to authoritative public-health organisations rather than asking you to take our word for it. Psychology and behaviour claims are framed as what they are: widely observed patterns, not laboratory certainties.
Corrections
We get things wrong sometimes, and we want to fix them fast. If you spot an error — factual, safety-related, or otherwise — email us at contacts@knowyoursins.com and we'll review it.
Privacy
Reading here is private. Our tools — like the Kink Quiz— don't require an account to use, and we never ask you to identify yourself to explore what you're into.
