Introduction
KinkTalk started in 2008 and was a BDSM Community forum where people could sign up to become a member. Members could post threads and replies, upload images and videos. It stopped since the beginning of 2026, and is currently retired. With 62.000 members as of late 2025, it was a thriving place for kinksters. It started as a spinoff of the (also) retired Truth or Dare Online Forum GetDare.
Subjects welcomed by KinkTalk
Here is a short overview of topics that people could talk about and explore on the forum:
BDSM
The term BDSM stands for the broad idea of bondage, dominance/submission and masochism. There is often roleplay, where one takes charge (the dominant figure), and one follows (the submitted). KinkTalk welcomed all types of people that were interested in this.
Femdom
Femdom stands for Female Dominance, and it is where a woman has the dominant role. Often male followers are then submitted to this Mistress. They have to do what she says, and can get punished if the Mistress seems fit.
Chastity Belts
A Chastity Belt is a device that makes sure that you cannot have sex, or masturbate. It is worn around the crotch. It could be for instance that a femdom Mistress orders her Slaves to wear this.
Bondage
Bondage was also a topic on Kinktalk. It involves tying or restraining a person (with consent), so that this person is totally submitted, and vulnerable for the one who does the tying up. This is often with ropes, but many couples also use the well known handcuffs in bed.
Why Secret Dare is a perfect alternative to KinkTalk
KinkTalk was a BDSM forum, where people can post and reply. At Secret Dare however, you can search for members, and you can find a Mistress or Slave directly. There is also a Search feature to help you with that.
Verifying members using Dares
Secret Dare also has a verification system, so that you know for sure that the other person is who they say they are. You can send an assignment, or Dare, that the other person has to fullfill. The uploaded picture, a blurred version, is then reviewed by matches to make sure the person actually did the assignment. And you can ask something to verify the picture, like show a note with a name. At Secret Dare we monitor the platform and there are only real profiles.
Master/Mistress and Slave through your webcam
There is also a Video Chat game at Secret Dare. So if you want to give somebody live assigments, you can do it through Video Chat. You can think of ideas yourself, or use the built in game, where random assigments are sent through a click on a button.
In summary
KinkTalk was a thriving BDSM forum with an active community, up until its closure in January 2026. Secret Dare is a great alternative for kinksters with live Video Chat, Person Verification and a Search feature to find matches.
