Alt.com is brought to the market by the FriendFinder series of dating sites and is definitely the most popular alternative adult dating site on the net. With well over 2 million members, its database is unrivalled in terms of its size, meaning members who are looking for the perfect kinky hookup, sex-date, friendship or more are certainly looking in the right place. There is of course a certain amount of cross-over between a serious fetish site like Alt.com and its tamer but more popular cousin, AdultFriendFinder, in terms of the member fantasies and sexual practices at the lighter end of the fetish scale. Alt.com is however totally unapologetic about its devotion to fetish and kink sexual practices, so if this is what you’re looking for in a partner, be sure to check Alt.com out!
Alt.com members, as with almost every other adult dating site we have reviewed, can use the site’s profile creation features to construct a profile to entice other members. Standard (free) members can create a profile without the need to upgrade, so you can get started on this straightaway. Aside from all of the traditional features we expect from every dating site (profile information, pictures, likes/dislikes etc.) Alt.com provides users with a range of further (and often fetish-specific) features to help enhance their profiles. Users can upload a video greeting or audio greeting to their profiles to help illustrate the sort of person you are and what you’re looking for in a lover. They can also host an extensive gallery of images so other members can get a taste of what they might experience if they hook up with you. As well as using the video and audio introductions to explain what you’re into and what you’re looking for, members can complete the ‘Fetish Checklist’ which advertises to other users what you like, what you’d be willing to try, and what you’re not into at all. This list is extensive, running to several pages, and we were amazed by how comprehensive the list was. The ‘results’ of the checklist can be posted to your profile, so members checking you out can also see what you’re into. All of these features are great news for alternative daters looking for the right partner, especially as fetish dating is a bit of a broad church anyway.
With more than two million members across the whole of Alt.com’s worldwide network, it is essential the site provides users with a high quality range of search tools that will let members search for others quickly and efficiently. As usual, Alt.com doesn’t disappoint, with members being able to use a range of great search functions and a fantastic selection of pre-defined searches to help find the members they are looking for. Members can also manage their interactions with other members in such a way as to make it easier to find favored users. Members can use ‘MyLists’, a feature that allows members to filter their contacts, favorites, hotlist members and others into categories under a range of helpful headings. Of course, if you prefer not to search for a suitable partner, but have one found for you instead, the LoveDog matching service will be just right for you! Users of this service don’t need to complete additional questionnaires or surveys, but simply need to ensure that their profile is fully stocked with information. LoveDog uses the information on your profile, your likes and dislikes and what you’re ‘into’ to find the ideal match on Alt.com. Finally, members can also create a friends network to help manage interaction with those you meet on the site (as well as helping to introduce one friend to another).
Communicating with other members of Alt.com also throws up a range of options. Members can signal an interest in other users by sending them a flirt or a wink, while more extensive contact can be achieved through sending a message to a user’s dedicated mailbox on Alt.com. All users have access to a complete set of inbox and mailbox tools, with members being able to send rich, detailed messages complete with attachments. They can chat with others using the site’s chatrooms and message boards, read and leave comments on the site’s blog or join groups to meet others with shared interests. One of the most popular features (naturally!) is the great webcam chat feature, which allows members to hook-up and play with other members of the site from the comfort of their own home. The kinky chatrooms hosted by the site also allow users to chat using a multicam feature, meaning you can partake in sexy video chat with more than one other user of the site at the same time. Great stuff.
As well as everything we have already discussed, Alt.com hosts a wide selection of additional features to ensure that members don’t ever get bored when surfing around the site. Members can get access to a wide range of horny adult movies, read and post to advice columns and take a range of tests (the results of which can be added to your profile to enhance it). The ‘Fetish Consent Worksheet’ is another useful feature for those who engage in particularly hardcore practices, especially as this site is the only one in this category to provide such a feature to its users. The Alt.com shop lets users buy BDSM and Bondage gear online, as well as a range of kinky costumes too! Members can earn ‘points’ by referring friends to the site, and these points can be exchanged for adult movies or for discounts at the Alt.com shop. All of these features mean that, when you’re not talking or webcamming with other members, there’s always something to occupy your mind at Alt.com!
Premium Membership of Alt.com starts at around £7 a month (if a user signs up to the longest duration subscription), though a member could pay up to £26 a month if they pay monthly. While some users may view this pricing as being a little expensive for a site like Alt.com, if you’re into alternative dating, BDSM and Bondage and more, then this site is definitely for you. As Alt.com is arguably the number one destination for the kinkiest people in the online adult dating scene, the membership fee could well be worth paying if it introduces you to a whole new world of sexual exploration. With a wide range of features and one of the biggest membership bases we found anywhere online, this site is definitely worth a look. What’s more, with standard membership available completely free of charge, new members really don’t have anything to lose – sign up and check Alt.com out today!
