Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner are tame and outdated compared to Peter Acworth, arguably one of the most successful and cutting-edge fetish porn entrepreneurs in America.

With porn websites that range from basic bondage and S-and-M, to high-tech sub-sites featuring women having sex with robots, Kink.com offers it’s 60,000 plus subscribers anything but tame content. Kink’s ability to successfully build and expand on its brand of pornography, which, at times, focuses on the crude bondage and sex slave dungeon stuff that even some players in the porn industry consider politically incorrect, may now result in the creation of Acworth’s ultimate fantasy, “the upper floor.”
