BDSM is popular all around the world, with people into just about anything you can imagine. There are more kinks that fit into BDSM than you can shake a stick at. From simple bondage to humiliation, BDSM has something for everyone. This is a big part of the popularity of the lifestyle.
With that being said, using a traditional dating site to find BDSM lovers usually doesn't work out. Kink based dating sites and BDSM focused sites are the best places to turn to find a partner for any kind of kinky dating, whether it be long term kink relationships or short term fun.
Why are BDSM/Kinky dating sites the best option for finding BDSM lovers? Take a look at these five reasons.
No Vanilla People
The number one reason to choose a BDSM website is that everyone on the site has some level of interest in BDSM. No one on the site is vanilla (not interested in kink at all). You don't have to worry about overwhelming most users or scaring them off. Also it is great to not have to worry about sorting through people to find out whether someone is kinky or not, which usually involves messaging back and forth.
Saved Time
You have a lot of saved time when you use a kinky dating site to find BDSM lovers. Every feature is designed to make it easier to find someone who is into kinks, from the kink-based filters (more on this below) to the lack of vanilla users. Many kinky dating sites allow you to also search based on the kind of relationship that you are looking for, serious relationships, short-term relationships, one night stands, etc.
One of the biggest time savers is not having to message with other users to get to know them before knowing if they are even interested in kink. Sometimes on traditional dating sites, even if you find someone interested in kink, you will have to talk to them to make sure that you share the same kinks.
Kink-Based Filters
Kink-based filters are the crown jewel of kinky dating sites. By kink-based filters we are talking about two different sets of filters offered on BDSM sites. One of those filters is obvious, being able to find people based on the kinks that they are interested in, such as bondage, impact play, sissy play, and more. Not only is this a big time saver, but it allows you to find people you will be more compatible with when it comes to the BDSM world.
The second type of kink-based filters has to do with your titles. Sites like this offer the ability to search based on whether you are a dominant, submissive, or switch. You can also set what you are looking for title wise. This prevents awkward situations where two submissives or two dominants end up talking and the relationship doesn't go well.
Some dating sites go above and beyond when it comes to filtering based on titles, they will offer kink specific titles such as Daddy, Master, Mistress, etc. You can use this to further narrow down what you are looking for on the site.
Enhanced Privacy
Kink dating sites are designed with privacy in mind. They understand that not every person who engages in BDSM or other kink activities wants their name or profile out there on the internet. Especially when most employers Google future employees and run background checks on them. One of the most common privacy features is the restriction of profile information to those who have a full account.
Security on these sites is also strong to prevent hacking, data breaches, and other problems. The last thing many BDSM lovers want is for their personal messages on dating sites to be seen or distributed, high levels of security help to prevent that.
Extra Kink Related Features
With a BDSM dating site (and kink dating site) you get a number of additional kink related features. The most obvious is being able to list your favorite kinks on the front page of your profile. Other features can include tips, introductory articles, and forums. Many sites are also now offering picture and video databases of user contributed content.
A lot of extra features found on kinky dating sites rely on user contribution and as such can be much more rewarding. You are able to interact with users in new and more ways. Learning by example from real people can also be very rewarding.
Kinky fun is exactly that, fun. No matter how fun it can be, there is a place for that fun to be found. When it comes to finding a kink partner on the internet, the best place to turn is a kink dating site.
