- BDSM
- Subscription
- Chat
BDSM roles and shared fetishes give ALT members a clear starting point for finding a play partner. Chat rooms and member webcams add ways to meet. Standard accounts can reply to 10 emails every 24 hours, while Silver and Gold support initiating contact. An upgrade makes most sense after you have spotted a few profiles worth writing to.

Partners with shared interests
ALT brings together people interested in dominant or submissive roles and shared practices. BDSM includes bondage, domination and submission play. Describing your limits alongside your interests helps people approach you with suitable expectations.
Magnolia Blossom Inc. operates ALT within FriendFinder Networks. The network's XMatch caters to more general casual dating.
Standard, Silver and Gold
Replying and reaching out
Joining is free. Standard membership allows a limited number of profile views and replies to received emails within its daily quota. Silver and Gold add outgoing messages, broader search and higher placement in results.
Chat rooms and member broadcasts offer other openings. Talk about an interest or experience, then continue privately if you both want to.
Other members can see your preferences. A separate username and photos without a recognisable face make your profile less easy to identify.
Images and consent
Consent for shared images
Everyone visible in an uploaded photo or video must have agreed to its publication, including a partner in a session photo. ALT may request an authenticity check for a profile.
Use the takedown form or the profile's report flag for an intimate image shared without consent, including an AI fake. After a complete request, ALT commits to making reasonable efforts to remove it and known copies within forty-eight hours.
Arrange a first meeting somewhere public and discuss boundaries before planning a play session.
Membership and prepaid balances
Choose Silver or Gold at checkout, checking the entry price, term and renewal. Public pricing does not establish your account's offer. Renewal is stopped in billing history. Points or tokens, prepaid units for separately purchased features, are non-refundable. After 180 days without a login, ALT may deduct five hundred points or fifty tokens a month from the balance, then erase it with the account after two years.
