Common questions
Where do kinky people actually meet?
Mostly at munches (casual meetups in a bar or restaurant), at workshops and events, and on kink-specific dating apps where role and limits are on the profile.
How do I know a dom is safe?
He respects a small no, agrees to a video call and a public first meeting, talks about past partners with respect, and has people in the community who will vouch for him.
Is Feeld still good for kink?
It has the most people, but kink is a smaller share of its users than it used to be. Many people pair it with a kink-specific app for fit.
