Understanding FetLife

FetLife is a social networking site for the BDSM, fetish, and kink community. It's a place where people can connect with others who share their interests, learn new things, and explore their sexuality. It's not a dating site, but it can be used to find events and meetups in your area.

FetLife was founded in 2008 by John Baku. He created the site to provide a safe space for people to explore their sexuality and connect with others who share their interests. The site has grown significantly since then, with over 8 million members worldwide. FetLife is free to use, but you can upgrade to a premium membership to access additional features.

Navigating FetLife as a Beginner

If you're new to FetLife, it can be overwhelming at first. There are so many different groups, events, and discussions to explore. Here are some tips for navigating the site as a beginner:

1. Complete your profile. Your profile is the first thing people see when they visit your page. It's essential to fill out as much information as possible so that others can get to know you better. It's recommended to include a profile picture, a bio, and your interests. Do not use a dickpick as your profile picture.
2. Join groups. So now that you've completed your profile, it's time to start exploring the site. There are thousands of groups on FetLife, so it's easy to find one that interests you. You can join as many groups as you want, and they're a great way to meet people with similar interests.
3. Participate in discussions. Discussions are a great way to learn more about the community and meet new people. You can also start your own discussion if you have a question or topic you'd like to discuss. Be sure to read the group rules before posting anything. Do not ask people to meet up, send you pictures or to be your Dom(me)/sub.
4. Attend events. There are many events on FetLife, including munches, parties, and workshops. Attending these events is a great way to meet new people and learn more about the community. We also organize a monthly munch for young people aged 18 to 30, it's a great way to meet other young people interested in kink and BDSM. You can find more information about the Youth Munch here.

• Don't spam. Don't send the same message to multiple people or post the same thing in multiple groups. This is considered spamming and will get you banned from the site. Sending messages like "Hi" or "How are you?" is also considered spamming.
• Read profiles. Before sending someone a message, read their profile! Most of the times, they are not interested and you don't need to waste their time.
