This week's feature story, "Kink of the Jungle: A field guide to Denver's wild life," explores the various sub-sects of the kink scene in Denver.

We go inside the world of the kinksters, who have an adults-only, sex-play headquarters in the heart of town. Given the edgy nature of this activity, we took an academic approach to the topic, playing off wildlife guidebooks to take a serious look at Denver's really wild life, which, judging from the extensive interviews done for this piece, attracts a surprising cross-section of this city's residents.
