A new trailer for the James Franco-produced documentary “Kink” gives viewers a glimpse into the world of pleasurable pain that Kink.com produces for fans of BDSM content.

The preview (above) teases a lot of nudity accompanied by whips, chains and leather as director Christina Voros takes viewers behind-the-scenes of the web's largest producer of pornography tilted toward those who get off on bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism.

Perhaps surprising to some, everyone working on set seems pretty nice and friendly — even as they subject themselves to intense pain during their performances.

“People probably think that we're all mask-wearing maniacs in here,” one employee says. “Most of these people go home and they're normal.”

“Kink,” which premiered last year at the Sundance Film Festival, hits limited theaters on Friday.
