This is a list of Internet forums (or 'fora' if you know your Latin) that cater to folks in fetish and BDSM lifestyles. Unless specified otherwise, they all cater to English-speaking people and are free to use (most require membership to participate or even to view). Some forums are monitored; this means that postings may be removed after posting or might not be posted until being checked and even edited. Few of them are pornographic but they are all intended for adults only.

Yahoo operates several forums. Only those with over 500 members and average over 25 non-spam posts per month are listed here. You can search for other groups for your specific interest and language.

Google operates several forums as an interface to Usenet. Only those with over 500 subscribers and average over 25 non-spam posts per month are listed here. You can search for other groups for your specific interest and language.

Global

These sites are for anyone around the world. Some of them cater largely to those in the USA, simply because USA citizens outnumber those in other English-speaking countries.
