The Top 5 BDSM Communities You Should Know
If you are reading this article you are probably interested in BDSM and wondering where you can turn to find others who are interested in BDSM. There are a number of online BDSM communities out there. Some of them are more active than others. We are going to cover the top 5 BDSM communities that you can find on the internet.
Alt.com
Alt.com is a very versatile community for BDSM. It has a feature for just about anything you might want from a community on the internet. You will notice that many of the features on Alt.com either involve dating or can be used for dating. But dating isn't the only thing that goes on at Alt.com.
Another big feature of Alt.com is being able to interact with other users via chat and forum. People use these platforms as a place to learn about the alternative sex community, including BDSM. While Alt.com spent a lot of focus on the dating side, most people actually use Alt.com for the other features.
The majority of negative reviews of Alt.com when it comes to the community portion of the website have to do with the design. If you can get past the design, you will enjoy your time on the website.
Reddit r/BDSMcommunity
Reddit is one of the most popular communities on the internet. People from around the world post on Reddit daily and the website claims to be the front page of the internet itself. Reddit has its very own BDSM community known as r/BDSMcommunity. It may not be a creative name but it has 149 "kinksters" (users) registered on the page with any member free to comment or post in the community.
r/BDSMcommunity is often used for just about any aspect of BDSM community that you can think of. People ask questions, find people to talk with, share articles, and otherwise converse. Numerous new topics get posted every day. The ability to post your own questions to the whole community while remaining anonymous is also a big draw to the Reddit BDSM community.
If you have specific fetishes or other sexual desires you can also find other relevant Reddit communities. Communities on Reddit are marked with the r/ tag. A good example of some of the other BDSM communities are ones for photos of specific acts.
FetLife
Out of all of the fetish communities on the internet FetLife is one of the most popular. The website has a good layout and a large number of users. Some of the features may appear basic, but they all work perfectly. More importantly, a good number of the features are available for free.
FetLife has a large userbase with people from around the world. Many of these people are active on features such as the forums and personal ads. While some FetLifers like to keep their profiles rather private, a good number share photos and sometimes even videos of themselves that registered users can browse.
Fetster
You will find that Fetster looks very basic. In fact, some might at first think that the website was too basic to be real until you login to the backend. Fetster is a community of likeminded BDSM practitioners and those who are interested in BDSM. Despite initial appearances, the website has a large number of features for users to interact with each other.
A long sign up process helps you to completely design your profile for the website. Your profile will play a big part in how other users view you on the website and interact with you. Detailed profiles, groups, chat, and more all come for free. Fetster is a free website with very few ads.
Thecage.co
With a name like Thecage.co, it should be pretty obvious that the website isn't for vanilla people. Thecage.co is like a social media platform for those who enjoy the BDSM lifestyle. On the homepage you are greeted with links to the forum, the blogs, personal ads, and the magazine. Each section should give you a good idea of the content that can be found on the website, and there is a lot of content to be found.
Thecage.co works well with a membership at FetLife. One works as a community for getting to know people and the lifestyle while the other (FetLife) provides you with a lot of graphic content and more of a dating platform. In fact, some of The Cage staff and administrators have both Cage accounts and FetLife accounts.
Take a look at each of these top BDSM community websites and you will find that there is a lot of content for you out there on the internet. Whether you are new to the lifestyle or an old timer, there is still a lot more for you to explore.
