Bondage.com is a dating site for people into BDSM. The free membership benefits are extensive; free members can post a full profile with photos. Profiles include a survey where members can list the things they've done and the things they want to try.
For free, members can also send and read mail (but not view or send pictures in mail) as well as search ads, view profiles, and so on. Also for free topic-specific and general discussion boards, affiliated with IRC chatrooms. Paying subscribers have more access to kinky porn.
I interviewed D.C., a submissive woman in Massachusetts, who was searching for a dominant man. She says, "There are many people in this category. The male to female ratio is very high, at a guess, 10:1."
"The site has a nice feature where you can see what percent of mail people respond to. There are lots of discussion boards but I never found that useful."
D.C. had only the free membership, which allowed her to I guess the full membership is mostly about access to porn and so forth, so I didn't bother; I could do everything I wanted to do with the free level."
"They also have a nice survey in your profile, which you fill out with things you've done and things you want to do, so you can identify areas of interest. It even tells you what percentage match you have with other people, and what percentage 'pure' they are. You can post lots of pictures and text about yourself, which is good."
