Each dot = the politics of people Moderately+ aroused by that kink, on the survey's two political questions (economic & social). Blue = men, red = women. Default view shows each kink's deviation from its sex's average (the whole sample skews liberal, so deviations are the interesting part; crosshair = a perfectly average respondent). Kink-adjusted additionally removes the "kinkier people are more liberal" gradient. Switch to Absolute scale to see raw positions with the −3…+3 axes.
Read with care: Big Kink Survey, n≈1.01M with politics answered — a self-selected, very-online sample that skews young and liberal (note both stars sit left of center; the interesting part is relative position). Politics question is US-flavored. "Kink-adjusted" = politics residualized on a 59-category arousal-breadth composite within sex. Dots are means; every fetish's fans span the whole compass. Hover any dot for n and 95% CIs.
