Peter Acworth, founder and CEO of the BDSM<\/a> porn empire Kink.com, has just announced \u201cthe end of an era.” In February, Kink actors will do their final shoot in the world-famous San Francisco Armory, the historic castle-like building that’s also a popular destination for tourists and porn<\/a> enthusiasts. The Kink.com studio is just another unfortunate casualty of the rapidly gentrifying city, which has made it financially<\/a> impossible for Acworth to continue production in the Armory.<\/p>\n

Although Kink.com will continue to provide content to subscribers, porn actors are lamenting the closure of the porn studio that, as the Guardian explains, \u201celevated the profile of fetish<\/a> entertainment and BDSM and provided stable jobs and a safe workplace for LGBT people and sex<\/a> workers.\u201d Over the years, the national landmark held tours, workshops and other porn events, as well as made it their mission to \u201cdemystify and celebrate alternative sexualities by providing the most ethical and authentic kinky adult entertainment.\u201d Ultimately, the proliferation of free porn made it impossible for Kink to stay afloat in San Francisco\u2014but the Armory’s kinky legacy will live on.<\/p>\n
