About me, the blogger

Hello there, I’m Kinky Tiger! Born in Italy in the wild ’80s, I stumbled upon my kinkiness in a pretty unusual way. Picture this: I was around 12 years old, innocently watching Elvira Mistress of the Dark, and I was: “Hey, this is kinda cool!” Of course, I had to wait until adulthood to really figure it all out.

Growing up in a small town, everyone expected me to do what everyone else did: get married, have kids, settle down. And I kinda knew from the start that it wasn’t exactly I wanted from life. So, at 19, I left home and set off on a journey to discover the most important person in my life (… incoming cheese…), myself.

My journey took me to London, and into the kink community. It led me to some fascinating favourites. Like parties and kinky events; the excitement, the open-mindedness, and the pure authenticity of these places made me feel like I was on a high the whole time (the safety is nice too). I discovered a lot about myself, about what I liked and what I didn’t like. I learnt that my play style is sensation and sensory deprivation play. I discovered how much I enjoyed teasing. And I’ve got a soft spot for light bondage. Oh, and being in control? Yep, that’s me, all the way. Definitely identify as a top (full archetypes here). 

Since kink never really played a role in my professional life, I decided to change that outside of my work life. In 2018 I started a blog where I was going to document anything and everything BDSM, kink and fetish-related that I came across. And many years later, here I am. From fashion to workshops, photographers, TV shows, and more. This blog has become my creative corner of the internet.

In my personal life, I’ve always been upfront about my kink interests with my partners. Most of my LTR were vanilla, but occasionally I have had play partners that were also into kink. I’m always looking to explore more of the kink world. 

I am on on FetLife (where you can follow me), and you can find me at online and in-person parties (I often wear a pair of tiger ears), or wherever the action is (think munches, shopping events, and such).

When I look back, I can’t help but notice how the fetish scene has evolved. It’s no longer hiding in the shadows. I see latex, harnesses, and all things fetish-wear making their way into music videos and actors and actresses talking openly about kink and consent in the media. It’s like society’s finally waking up to it, realizing there’s nothing to be afraid of, but so much to embrace.

So, that’s me, Kinky Tiger: exploring myself and the world of kink, one step at the time, one blog post at the time.
