|  Posted - Nov 20 2015 : 8:00PMSo I want to subscribe to 4 sites but it seems prohibitively expensive. $30 per site when most porn sites charge like 15 for their entire library. Now I can claim deals through review sites and I heard that once you join one site the other become discounted but how much are they discounted? I'm really looking to spend around $30 a month for the 4 sites. I could subscribe on videobox to the kink channel. But it's not the full content just a selection of scenes. Any advice would be appreciated.  [Link] |

You could subscribe to Kink Archive. You get all scenes from all the Kink subsites that are two years or older for about $30-40 per month.
Drawbacks:
1. You don't get any recent scenes (less than two years old).
2. Kink sometimes re-releases scenes and changes the date so they are removed from Kink Archive because they are now not "two years" old.
If Kink Archive doesn't meet your needs, you would need to take a long term membership to a site to lower its cost. For example, S&S is currently $90 for 6 months ($15 per month). Otherwise, it is $30 per month even with a long term membership I have to one of the sites. If you don't want to take out long term memberships, you could rotate your sites monthly at $30. It is very easy to cancel.

Very interesting development at Kink per AVN. Instead of subscribing to individual sites, you subscribe to all Kink sites. There is no longer the option to buy Sex and Submission individually, for instance. If you are interested in more than one site and wish to have them concurrently, it could be a money saver. It also is a massive money saver if you are interested in a certain performer (i.e. Casey Calvert or Penny Pax). You could take out a monthly sub and get all their content from the various Kink websites rather than needing to take out individual memberships or buying through Kink on Demand using the old way of buying Kink memberships.
The only thing about the AVN announcement that is potentially a deal breaker is the amount of updates per week. Before, Kink would update its sites weekly. From the quote by Peter in the article, the individual sites seems won't be updating weekly on a consistent basis. He didn't share the update schedule. Questions not answered: Are sites being shut down and no longer updating? How many updates per week?
New Pricing:
Monthly (recurring) $50 per month
3 months (recurring) $100 ($33 per month)
6 months (non-recurring) $170 ($28 per month)
1 year (non-recurring) $320 ($27 per month)
Has anyone taken out a Kink Unlimited membership? Any issues? Are all files downloadable?

^ That is really good news. Thanks for mentioning it here.
I had an all-inclusive Kink membership back in October/November 2015 but I can't recall how I came to get that. it may have been an email offer made to previous subscribers. I was able to download anything.
One other possibility is subscribing to the Kink Channel at Videobox. That can be really inexpensive since adding a channel is pro-rated on your monthly membership. So if you join VB on July 1 and are planning to cancel recurring billing so that your subscription expires on August 1 you can subscribe to a channel late in the month and you only pay for the remaining days in the month. There are some drawbacks though: while there are scenes from most Kink sites they are randomly posted so it is hit or miss if the scenes you really want are there. The biggest drawback is video quality though. VB doesn't offer HD formats that you can get from Kink itself. But a VB channel is a good way to dip your toe in to some Kink sites without the cost of actually joining the site. I added the channel to download some stuff from Ultimate Surrender because I didn't know if it was something I was really interested in so I had the chance to watch some at a low price.[Link] |

^ Interesting. I was aware of Kink Archive where you were allowed access to all of Kink's scenes 2 years or older but not an all scenes option in previous years. I have on occasion had memberships to US, SAS, WA, HCGB, BGB, TTOO, FM, EB, and PD along with a month or two with Kink Archive. I was always frustrated after canceling a membership and then the next month someone you wanted to see showed up on the cancelled website. I found it way too expensive to have concurrent memberships so I would take out a membership, then cancel and then take out another.
I too feel like it is really good news.

I meant to mention this to the OP in my reply but forgot: when you're a member to one site you normally get a reduced rate at other Kink sites. This is still more expensive than the new all-inclusive membership if you eventually want to join several sites but may be cheaper if you want access to just two sites. Join through the cheaper site and access the more expensive one through a discount.[Link] |

Rear Admiral, could you check it out and see if this is also true from your end? Go to Kink's website (kink.com). I log in using my username and password and then click on Hogtied (as an example), Kink Unlimited is the only option. I am unable to buy separate sites anymore.
I have used your strategy in the past for getting discounts on sites. Buy the cheaper and get a discount on the more expensive one or take out a new membership a couple of days before another site's membership would lapse. Now, it seems like Kink Unlimited or nothing.[Link] |

Wow, I have spent hundreds joining half of the sites in the Kink network individually. This will be a great deal for me.[Link] |

Man, I love the Kink sites, but I've stopped subscribing because not many of my favs join anymore, and i'm starting to sub to more niche fetish sites i'm into that also deal in bondage play...
May consider this new membership option in the future though

^I'm more or less like you in that I was a huge fan of multiple Kink sites but I let my last membership drop a couple of months ago and I haven't seen much since than that interest me. If that new pricing is true and I can't see why it isn't than I might consider joining again in the next few weeks.[Link] |

Kink Support was able to answer my questions regarding the Kink Unlimited plan.
1. All shoots from all sites can be streamed/downloaded with no download limits.
2. Kink Unlimited will update at least 5 times per week.
3. The individual classic version is no longer available
4. All subscriptions have been converted to the kink.com format > I don't have a current sub so it doesn't affect me. Not sure if they converted someone who has a current sub and automatically turned that into a Kink Unlimited subscription.[Link] |
