How we counted

  • Source: ratings members saved in their private Kink Checklist between February 2025 and November 2026.
  • Yes means "yes" or "love it", no means "not for me" or "hard limit". Unrated activities are not counted.
  • Totals only. No individual answers are shown or shared, and activities with fewer than 30 ratings are left out.
  • Members choose which activities to rate, and Kink Checklist users are people interested in kink, so these shares describe this community, not the general population.
