Browsing around the internet you will come across a good number of fetish websites. Some of these sites are high quality while others leave much to be desired, not all fetish sites are built the same. So how do you find the right fetish website to get what you expect? We are going to take a look at the top 10 most popular fetish sites on the web. Each one will come with a quick description so that you can tell if it is right for you.
Alt.com
Alt.com is a big name in the BDSM and kink world, it has been around for years. The main focus of the website is to be a fetish dating site to help you hookup with other kinksters for just about any kind of relationship that you may be interested in. Users find that the website goes beyond that of a traditional dating site and provides community features such as BDSM chat rooms, blogs, groups, and even magazines.
A relatively rare feature that you will find on Alt.com is the ability to use a number of features for FREE, including photos, BDSM chat rooms, adding friends, and searching. However, a good number of features will require you sign up for a membership which runs around $20 a month. Paid features include the ability to contact members not in the chat rooms, access to the additional community content, full view of profiles, and more.
Alt.com has many users and the number of users fluctuates regularly. Despite the fact that the trend has been at a low recently, there are still millions of users to interact with.
AdultFriendFinder
Although AdultFriendFinder isn't specifically a fetish site, many users turn to the platform to find friends for kinky encounters. The main use of AdultFriendFinder is to have sex chat online but there are also plenty of people who turn to the platform to hookup or even find BDSM relationships. People love the fact that so much about the website is focused on sex, it makes it fun and alluring.
AdultFriendFinder is one of the oldest fetish hookup sites on the internet. Not only that, but it is part of a chain of really well reviewed platforms. All of this goes to tell you that they have the experience at AdultFriendFinder to help you find the hookup that you want.
Some users don't like the fact that AdultFriendFinder is full of ads, and not just normal ads, rather raunchy ones. You may want to be careful where you use AdultFriendFinder as it makes its competition look vanilla. Not just through the ads either, many of the pictures and features are rather bold. Anyway, this is one of the best options for sex positive people looking for some kink fun.
BDSMDatingOnly

The site is constantly adding new categories too to ensure that everyone can find their favorite activities on the site.
Two different types of membership exist on BDSMDatingOnly, a silver plan and a gold plan. With either paid plan you can contact members and use most features of the website. However, with the gold plan you also get priority listing on search results, full access to community features, and you can be among the first people to contact new members.
Gold memberships start around $30 a month and Silver memberships at $20 a month. You can get discounts on both membership types if you pay for 3 or 12 months at a time. The discounts for 12 months at a time are very worth it and will make the website much more entertaining.
Fetlife
Fetlife is one of the largest online fetish sites in the world, also probably one of the most well-known. Fetlife is a full BDSM community, not specifically a dating site. Instead of having a matchmaking feature, Fetlife has groups, personals, picture and video sharing, and such features.

Finding events around the world has never been easier than on Fetlife. Almost every kink event has a listing on Fetlife. In a similar manner, just about every kind of person can be found on the site. That includes all genders and orientations.
One of the reasons that so many people turn to Fetlife is the fact that it is free to use almost every feature, including the messaging system.

There are plenty of people to message on Fetlife too, in 2019 they had over 7 million users and that number has continued to grow.

FootFetishMatch
The previous website isn't the only foot fetish site on the market. FootFetishMatch is another website on the internet. The website has a decent number of users and comes up in many searches. One of the big things that FootFetishMatch has going for it is that it is very private. You have to go through the complete signup process to be able to view profiles and learn more about what you can and can't get from the site. It feels like a members only site.
Something to be aware of is that FootFetishMatch is far from the best dating site out there. The number of users actually looking to hook up is quite well. The reason that we included the site in this list is the fact that it is one of the few foot fetish websites that isn't a complete scam.
Before trying this site, we highly recommend giving FootFetishDating (mentioned above) a good chance.
