Alt.com is an established dating and contacts site for people who are looking for alternative (read kinky) relationships. This is why the site is called Alt.com. The site's members are seeking other like minded singles and couples who are into BDSM, bondage, spanking, role play, dominance or submission and a host of other naughty fetishes. The site can be used either as a means to meet new partners into the same alt things as you or for more casual hookups without commitment.
The site was one of the first 'alternative' dating sites out there so in that respect it was a bit of a trailblazer back in the day. However, fast forward to 2021 and we found the site interface now looks a little old and dated compared to other sites on our list. But it is still worth a look, so read on to find out how to register as a site member.
How To Join
Signing up for an account on Alt.com takes less than 5 minutes. The registration process consists of 5 simple steps; all of which need to be completed before you can activate your Alt.com profile and membership.
Signing up to Alt.com is totally free. When you register, you have the option to sign-up as a man, woman, couple, or as a group. Then you are asked to provide more details about yourself, such as your sexual orientation, body type, race, marital status, and interests. You will also be asked to write something about yourself that will appear on your profile, (if you have no idea what to write, you can check out Alt.com’s Writing Ideas, a tool to help you craft the perfect profile!). Finally you need to submit a valid email address and a password of your choice.
Before your membership is activated, Alt.com sends you a verification email to the email address you submitted in the sign up process. Simply open the email and click the validation link. You will then be redirected to your own profile page, and you are now a member.
Membership Options
There are 3 types of membership on Alt.com; basic, Silver and Gold.
Basic membership is free and what every new joining member gets when they initially sign up. Alt.com basic membership is just that. As a basic member of this adult dating community, you can search for members who are nearby or online now. You can add friends to your hotlist, access the 'hot or not' feature, send flirts and receive notifications of potential matches.
However, basic membership has several contacting restrictions. As a free member, you cannot see a members full profile including their photos, send messages nor read any messages you recieve. Therefore, to unlock all your contacting options, you must upgrade to an Alt.com premium membership package.
Silver membership gives you a good level of contact and is what a lot of members choose. However to unlock the full site functionality and features you will need to take the Gold membership package. The benefits of being a premium member are unrestricted viewing of members profiles and photos, unrestricted messaging and the ability to read your messages, full access to recorded videos, sending virtual gifts and 24/7 phone support. These premium membership benefits are guaranteed to give you greater chances of finding other members for hookups.
Summary
If you are looking for a site to find like-minded singles and couples into anything but vanilla relationships and encounters then this might be the site for you. It might be a bit dated looks wise but it is still worth checking out so consider signing-up at Alt.com.
