SAN FRANCISCO (April 7, 2008) – Fetish erotica leader Kink.com is pleased to announce that its personnel and websites have been nominated multiple times in Stage 2 voting for The Bondage Awards.

The Bondage Awards are an annual award given to models, writers, photographers, websites, riggers, comic artists and more in the fetish and BDSM fields. The first stage is write-in only and produces Stage 2 nominees based on submissions from visitors to the Bondage Awards website. Stage 2 nominees were announced at the beginning of April.

Voting at BondageAwards.com will close at midnight Eastern Time on April 13, 2008. The rules of the Awards allow each user to vote once per day.

In the Best Pay Site category, Kink.com nominations include DeviceBondage.com, Hogtied.com, MenInPain.com, TheTrainingOfO.com, WhippedAss.com, WiredPussy.com, and SexAndSubmission.com, plus Kink.com itself.

Nominated in the Free Website category are Kink.com's Free-Hardcore.com and BehindKink.com, the ongoing documentary series about life at Kink.com.

Kink.com nominees in the rigger category include WaterBondage.com director Lew Rubens, SexAndSubmission.com and MenInPain.com director James Mogul, Hogtied.com director Matt Williams, WiredPussy.com director Princess Donna, and frequent Kink.com collaborator Claire Adams. In BDSM parlance, a rigger is one who restrains models with rope, an art that is central to the creation of bondage entertainment.

Lew Rubens, widely known as a rope expert and educator in addition to being the webmaster of WaterBondage.com, also picked up a nomination for Best Photographer. Rubens is Kink.com's In House Bondage Consultant, providing services for a variety of Kink.com sites, as well as basic and advanced bondage training for Kink.com webmasters and employees.

ABOUT KINK.COM - Kink.com was started in 1997 by bondage enthusiast Peter Acworth while he was a PhD student at Columbia Business School. Realizing consensual BDSM play was more fun than finance, he left academia to devote his life to providing consensual bondage and kink fantasies for sexual adventurers worldwide. The result was Hogtied.com, Kink's first site. Since then, Kink.com has opened more than a dozen popular fetish sites including such BDSM sites as SexAndSubmission.com and TheTrainingOfO.com, machine sex site FuckingMachines.com, transsexual domination site TSSeduction.com, and UltimateSurrender.com, the only unscripted female fetish wrestling show on the web. In 2007, Kink.com began restoring the San Francisco Armory, a 1912 National Guard facility that had been vacant for more than three decades, as new headquarters and studio for its network of sites.
