      I have to disagree with you. Fetlife is clunky, hard to navigate and all black. KinkySpace has tons more features - customizable profiles, ability to edit posts (can't do that on fetlife), privacy options (fetlife has zero privacy options), more visually pleasing (unless you like all black), ability to embed pics in threads (can't do that on fetlife either).

      Granted fetlife is more active right now, only because it's been around over a year - KinkySpace is only a few months old but already has over 6,000 people in it's short life.

      Plus they don't have the anonymous "caretakers" that fetlife has - it's a really creepy thing where you don't know who's watching you. Fetlife has an almost cult following of the owner John Baku (in fact, I bet someone jumps in to defend this). I know a number of people who left the site because of fetlife's inaction on a pedo thread that was on the site for over a month.

        Both systems have mandatory and awkward gender and orientation questions. That's as far as I got when I tried last year.

          FetLife currently has for Gender:

          Female
          Male
          Trans - MTF
          Trans - FTM
          GenderFluid
          GenderQueer
          Intersexed

          and for Orientation:

          Straight
          Heteroflexible
          Bisexual
          Gay
          Lesbian
          Queer
          Pansexual
          Fluctuating/Evolving

          (People have asked for Homoflexible, but I don't know if it's going to be added or not.)

          I do like a lot of the people and content on FetLife, but many of the defaults and ways things work drive me a bit bonkers. Oh well.

            How about "abstain"?

            None of the orientations work for me. And I don't care to declare my gender either. The best choice available is to pick something random. Eg, for age on such sites, I usually pick the oldest value they'll allow me to assign. That way it's at least suggestive of bad info.
