A new dating app called Whiplr is offering kink queens the chance to find their very own Christian Grey.

Inspired by Tinder as well as 50 Shades of Grey, the whip-smart app allows bondage buffs to decide whether they want to be dominated - or do the dominating themselves.

Whiplr advertises itself as a "messenger with kinks" and offers fetish fans to find partners who live nearby.

It lets adventurous lovers search for people with varying levels of kinky experience or those into certain "fashions", which means leather or rubber rather than normcore.

Other "kink categories" on Whiplr include "objects, behavior, materials, accessories and sounds".

Daniel Sevitt, Whiplr spokesman, said: "We believe that kink takes many forms, and we wanted to keep these categories as broad as possible. That way, our users can self-define any way they choose and can align themselves with other fetish lovers across a wide range."

A film based on the EL James' bonkbuster has caused hysteria across the land, with women thrown out of cinemas for masturbating, puking and fighting.
