Kink-friendly Speed Dating

March 24, 2026 By bekahstuckey@liftedspiritskc.com

Tired of going on dates only to find out they’re not into alternative ways of dating, relating, or playing? This event is created specifically for kink-friendly, ENM, swinger, and BDSM-aligned singles and solos, whether you’re monogamous, polyamorous, casually dating, or seeking long-term connection.

And forget the old-school “sit across from a stranger and hope for the best.”
Here, you’ll meet matches who are actually compatible with you.

You’ll complete a short questionnaire after getting your ticket, and our matchmaking tech does the pairing matching you with the top people in the room based on your preferences. It’s the perfect blend of online matching and real-life chemistry, without the dead-end first dates or matches you never meet.

Go on at least 7 5‑minute dates with highly compatible people. This is fast, fun, and pressure-free.

Whether you’re outgoing or on the shy side, we make it easy to spark real conversations in a room full of people who want the same thing you do: genuine connection.
