Fetish dating is the search for someone whose particular interest matches yours. The more specific the fetish, the smaller the pool – which makes being clear about it more important, not less.

Step by step

Finding your match

  1. Name it on your profile.Use the word people would actually search for, not a coy hint.
  2. Say how central it is.Essential, a big plus, or one interest among many? That one detail filters a lot.
  3. Search as wide as you need.The more specific the fetish, the wider the net. VIP search lets you narrow by city and distance – and by experience and openness too.
  4. Ask, don't assume.Someone listing latex might love wearing it, seeing it, or both.
  5. Agree how it fits a first date.Talk through what you'd both enjoy beforehand, and save anything physical for a later date.

The profile line

Saying it clearly

Too vague
“Open-minded, into a few unusual things.”
Clear
“Latex is my main thing – wearing it and seeing it. Into rope too.”
Too much, too soon
Three paragraphs of detail and a gallery. Save it for someone who's asked.

Near misses

When it's almost right

Sometimes a person shares the fetish but none of your other interests, or likes it but not as much as you do. Decide in advance what's essential. A partner who's happy to include your fetish now and then can turn out a better fit than one who shares it and nothing else.

Three don'ts

Keep it respectful

  • Don't lead with photos.
  • Don't push past a no.
  • Don't reduce someone to one interest.

Fetish dating questions

Before You Search.

My fetish is rare. Is it worth joining?

Being specific is what helps people find you. Set a wide radius, say exactly what you're into, and be patient.

Should I mention my fetish in my first message?

If it's on both your profiles, yes. If it's only on yours, a light mention is fine – let them ask for more.

What if a match isn't into it after all?

Thank them and move on. A no to a fetish isn't a no to you, and pushing never works.

Specific is good
