Kinkly was founded by Nicole Janssen and Tara Struyk in 2012.
Nicole Janssen is a serial entrepreneur. She began her business journey at the age of 12. Her expertise is in technology, real estate, and corporate event planning. Tara Struyk is a content creation and management executive with 15 years of experience working in online media.
Coming from backgrounds in digital media and their curiosity, Nicole and Tara saw the need for an educational site on all things sex, one that was open-minded, non-judgmental, and fun to read.
Over the years, Kinkly has become home to the Sex Blogger Directory, the largest, most comprehensive list of sex blogs available online, as well as a key industry resource.
Kinkly’s mission is to promote comfort and dialogues around sex. They aim to create content for people of all genders, sexual orientations, and experience levels. They work to answer your questions, teach you some new things, and, ultimately, help you discover more about pursuing pleasure in ways that are safe, healthy, consensual—and fun.
