Denver may not be a city that comes to mind when you think of kink, but apparently, people who live there are into bratting, role play, and edging, along with their skiing and hiking.

You’d expect the home of the infamous red-light district would be the kinkiest place in the world, but there are other cities on Feeld’s list that have higher numbers of people into specific kinks. But like Berlin, the people of Amsterdam are very into open relationships and identify more as heteroflexible than other cities.
