In the modern world there is no shortage of BDSM communities online, but only a couple decades ago many of the taboo subjects that are now discussed openly were prohibited by just about every digital community you could have joined. One shining exception has always been Alt.com, a home for everyone interested in exploring alternative sexual lifestyles together. Since 1996, the site has serviced the needs of millions of members from all around the globe.
Strengths
The oldest, most venerable and respected alternative dating community online is definitely Alt.com. Chances are you’ve already been a member of the site at some point now or in the past, but if you haven’t you are likely one of the only people with fetish interests who hasn’t given Alt a try. The site continues to evolve year after year with a massive membership that spans nearly every niche of hardcore alt sex and fetish dating play.
Weaknesses
While Alt.com has made a strong effort to keep things fresh, the site is one that has been online continuously since 1996. Evolving the site over time isn’t the same as launching an entirely new site platform. For that reason, some of the content can seem dated at times, most often because it was added many years ago by members. The interface is state of the art and so are the current members, but at times it can feel more like a dating archive than a fresh new community.
Summary
Frankly, this is the site that many of the others copied years later when they felt it was safe to do so. There is always something to be said for stepping outside the lines of common conformity and that is especially true when it concerns expanding the BDSM lifestyle or spreading the word that perverts are in fact people, too. Alt.com deserves a lot of credit for taking a stand back in 1996 and working so hard to stay relevant with millions of sexy BDSM dating enthusiasts decades later.
