SAN FRANCISCO, CA—At the Folsom Street Fair on September 27, 2015, KinkBNB LLC is publicly launching a campaign to decriminalize sex work and support currently legal sex workers.
Coming on the heels of an extremely successful launch in May, the multinational company decided to clarify its position on sex work and to incorporate support for legal sex work into the website's future offerings.
Starting in November, improvements to the website will enhance the experience for guests and hosts by making it more customizable. At the host's option, listings will be available for hourly rental. In jurisdictions where sex work is legal, hosts are able to denote whether the unit is available to sex workers. The website incorporates new amenities, such as the presence of CMT (certified massage therapists), sex educators, and no-sex escorts. All arrangements for these services must be made outside of KinkBNB's website.
At the same time, KinkBNB is embarking on a campaign of giving to organizations that support the fight for decriminalizing sex work. KinkBNB does this in solidarity with sex workers, for the promotion of safety, and for the protection of human rights. Initially, KinkBNB is starting with local organizations such as SWOP Sacramento and Red Umbrella Policy Project, adding more local, national and international organizations to its support portfolio as the company grows.
CoFounder Darren McKeeman said, “It's about time the current laws surrounding prostitution were disrupted in a meaningful and effective way. We hope that we can make a dent in the public stigma surrounding sex work with our stance.”
