FetishDatingSite.co.uk vs Collarspace

Where Collarspace came from

Collarspace grew out of CollarMe, a BDSM personals site that started in the early 2000s. After a falling out between its founders, CollarMe closed and the community carried on under the Collarspace name. It is text first rather than swipe first, with profiles, forums, journals, a glossary and a search that filters by role, orientation, age and location.

What people like about it

Role-based search is genuinely useful: you can look specifically for dominants, submissives or switches. The forums and journals give it a community feel that many newer apps lack, and long-standing members appreciate that it has not chased trends.

The common complaints

A mostly American membership. Reviewers consistently describe the user base as concentrated in the United States, which matters if you want someone you can actually meet in Leeds or Glasgow.

Spam and fake profiles. Several independent reviews mention spam and low-effort accounts, a familiar problem on older open platforms.

Dated design and unclear terms. The site looks and feels its age. Reviewers also disagree on what is free and what sits behind a paid tier, so check the current terms yourself before relying on any feature.

Privacy information. At least one review notes that its privacy policy has not been updated for some years. If data handling matters to you, read the current policy before you sign up.

Moving across from Collarspace

Bring what worked: a clear statement of your role, your interests and your hard limits. Leave behind anything that read like a shopping list. Most people respond better to a few honest lines about what you enjoy and how you like to get to know someone than to a long list of acts.
