I’ve fantasized about bondage and “roleplaying” during sex for years (and did some experimenting occasionally) before I discovered BDSM dating sites that welcome people who are into these things. I’ve browsed several sites before I found one that suited my taste and my style. Alt.com is generally a well-rounded site for people who want a bit of everything – bondage, dom-sub interplay, fetish, swingers, etc. I’ve stuck around longer than I expected because of the following reasons.

Alt.com is more than a dating site; it is a community of individuals who embrace the BDSM culture and lifestyle. The general ambiance in the site is comfortable and welcoming. I can be myself and talk about my fetish because everyone else has something similar going on. For once, I didn’t have to scrape my brain for empty conversation starters. I could say “any dom here?” in a chat room and several people would message back.

On the negative side, prepare to be ignored by some members. The members come from all walks of life, and like any community, there are those who snub you just because. No explanations, no responses. You’d think they’re inactive until they interact with other people in forums and blogs. There are also people who immediately latch on to you because you’re new to the site, but drop you just as quick later. Not everyone who’s friendly is willing to interact further, especially when you don’t share his or her idea of what sex should be like. My point? The community is too diverse.

Membership on the site is pretty straight forward. You can stay for free forever if you’re just after the magazines, blogs, and chatroom discussions. You can introduce yourself to the others through instant messenger, but as I mentioned above, you might be messaging someone who doesn’t share your fetish (ex. you’re sub and she’s sub as well). Profiles, photos, emails, match suggestions from administrators, and videos of the members would be helpful but these features are only available through a premium membership (20-30 USD a month).
