kinkily

/kˈɪŋkili/ adv

In a kinky manner.

Word Origin Kink comes from Middle English, probably from Old Norse 'kinka' to bend or twist. So kinky means full of twists, and kinkily is the adverb. The word originally described physical twists in rope or hair, then took on a figurative sense of quirky or sexually unconventional. The -y and -ly suffixes stack up: twisty-ly.
