FetLife: The Ultimate Guide and Review
The FetLife.com Community
By Renee Haizlip
FetLife is the largest online BDSM community in the world. This is one very interesting place with plenty of room for many to explore their fantasies.
FetLife consists of thousands of different BDSM sub-communities and groups. BDSM stands for Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism, and Domination and Submission. So, if you’re interested in being tied up and spanked, give this online community a try. There are sub-communities for the spanking fetish, floggers and roman stars, both, restraints and body art, fetish kink, anal play, massages, oral play, BDSM teachers, and everything else you can imagine.
There’s one thing about this community that surprises me—I rarely see the word “cringey” mentioned.

Fetlife Communities
Fetlife is a relatively young site, but it’s quickly going places. Not only does it have thousands of active user communities for people with fetishes, those who don’t really have fetishes, and just interested in seeing what’s on the site, it also runs a slew of video and photo streams, erotic stories, and even the odd “straw that broke the camel’s back.” As it turns out, pretty much all it takes to make some site big is to start with a weird fetish.
Here’s our rundown of everything you could possibly be looking for on FetLife, as well as what you’ll find, and how you can interact with people within its communities, if you want to.
Fetlife Safety
Fetlife’s co-founders have personally invested over $1 million in the site’s safety and in 2008, the site introduced its first safety measures, including new character limits and two-factor authentication. In 2015, the site introduced a more rigorous set of safety measures, including a 100% alcohol policy, background verification, and new verification requirements for membership.
