How it works
From sign-up to the first contact request, every step is designed to keep the community real, respectful and discreet.
The journey in five steps
-
Create your account
A username, an e-mail address, your date of birth (18 or over) and a password. Once your e-mail is confirmed, you enter the site and can search.
-
Complete your profile
Your role, the roles you are looking for, an introduction in your own words and what you are looking for. A photo is recommended, never required; the location (canton or region) is optional. Only your age is displayed, never your date of birth.
-
Send or receive contact requests
One request per profile, with a short message. The conversation only opens if the person accepts.
-
Register your phone number
During the launch it is optional. Afterwards your mobile number is required to stay visible and receive requests: one number, one account. It is simply entered (no SMS), stays private and is never displayed.
-
Subscription, after the launch
The launch is free for 30 days. Afterwards a subscription lets you send contact requests and reply to them; without one, you stay visible and can still search and receive requests.
Safety and moderation
BDSM is built on consent, communication and respect for limits. The site is organised around these principles.
Checked accounts
A phone number can only be used for one account, and our team checks registered numbers. Duplicates and disposable accounts are removed.
Human moderation
Reports are reviewed by the team, normally within 24 hours. Photos and texts may be reviewed, rejected or removed.
You stay in control
You choose who can write to you and whether your private photos are reserved for registered people, and you can hide, block or report in a few taps.
Clear rules
Minors, illegal content, prostitution, solicitation, spam, identity theft: all forbidden, and sanctioned up to permanent exclusion.
Frequently asked questions
Who can sign up?
Anyone aged 18 or over, in Switzerland or the neighbouring regions. You confirm your age at sign-up, and we may ask you to prove it if in doubt.
Why register a phone number?
So that every profile matches a real person: one number, one account. It is the best protection against fake profiles, duplicates and spam. During the launch period it is optional. It is simply entered: no SMS is sent, and our team checks it afterwards.
Is my phone number visible?
No. It is only used for checks by our team, it is stored encrypted and it is never displayed or passed on to other members. Neither is your e-mail.
What does the subscription include?
The launch is free for 30 days: full access. Afterwards, without a subscription you can still search, be visible and receive contact requests; a subscription lets you send them and reply. The price and duration are shown before any payment.
How are my private photos protected?
A private photo is only visible to registered people: it is never shown to visitors without an account. You can make it public or delete it at any time.
What happens when I contact someone?
You send a single request, with a short message. To do so, your profile must be filled in (role, roles sought, introduction). A photo is recommended, never required. The conversation only opens if the person accepts. They can also decline or ignore, without having to explain.
How do I report or block a profile?
From a profile or a conversation, in two taps. The report is anonymous and reviewed by the moderation team. Blocking makes both profiles invisible to each other.
