Although Collarspace has a promising premise, the execution is a tad disappointing. The website is outdated and quite difficult to navigate around. Many of the profiles are either fake or have been inactive for a long time. There's also the issue about security. Since a person doesn't need a profile to browse the different accounts, anyone can basically "prowl" around these public profiles and do whatever they want with the information they find. For more secure website on casual dating, check out our Casual Dating category.

  • Singles who are looking for sexual thrill and excitement
  • For people who are into BDSM and kinky sex

  • For uptight and conservative individuals

How does Collarspace work?

collarspace how it works
  • Collarspace connects BDSM enthusiasts for casual or serious relationships
  • Over 1.6M users worldwide, mostly from the US
  • No mobile app, old interface, and some features need browser plugins
  • Detailed profiles but slow approval and issues with fake or inactive accounts
  • Offers events, resources, and admirers lists but has heavy ads

Collarspace is a niche dating platform tailored for BDSM enthusiasts, offering connections for casual encounters or serious relationships. With over 1.6 million members, primarily from the US, it provides free and paid features, though communication is limited for free users.

The platform struggles with an outdated design, no mobile app, and occasional browser compatibility issues. Profiles are detailed but take time to approve, and the site faces challenges with fake or inactive accounts. Despite these drawbacks, it stands out with unique features like community resources, public events, and admirer lists, though heavy ads hinder the experience.

Even though you'll find that some of the profiles have been inactive for years, there's always that helpful list of currently online members on the homepage. There are indeed real people looking for genuine relationships, but it seems like you'd have to weed through the thousands of "findommes" (dominatrixes who practice financial domination) and dormant profiles.

Special Features

Admirers

Simply put, admirers are users who put you in their favourites list. Since all features work both ways, this means that the profiles you favourite will know that you've favourited them. If you're shy, this can be a good way to facilitate conversation (a.k.a.: have them notice you and talk to you first). If you want to stay anonymous, you can use the "Notes" feature instead.

Resources

The Resources are a list of guides to help you navigate your way not just through the site, but through BDSM as a whole. There are links on knowing your limits, how to become a good ally for the LGBT+, honouring the transgender community, all the different sexualities, and so much more.

Events

Public events are posted here and can be attended by anyone. The events are diverse and range from balls, to flea markets, to pride parades. There are conventions for doms, parties for swingers, and support groups for women.
