Community Guidelines

Our Commitment

KinkMeeter is dedicated to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all users to explore their BDSM preferences. These Community Guidelines outline the principles and behaviors we expect from our community.

Core Principles

1. Consent is Paramount

All BDSM activities must be based on informed, enthusiastic consent from all participants. The assessment is a tool for self-discovery, not a prescription for action. Always:

• Communicate clearly about boundaries and desires
• Respect "no" and "stop" immediately
• Negotiate activities before engaging in them
• Remember that consent can be withdrawn at any time

2. Safety First

BDSM exploration should always prioritize physical and emotional safety:

• Educate yourself about risks before trying new activities
• Use safe words and check-ins during scenes
• Never engage in activities while impaired
• Seek medical attention if injuries occur
• Practice proper techniques to minimize risk

3. Respect and Inclusivity

We welcome people of all:

• Sexual orientations and gender identities
• Relationship structures and dynamics
• Experience levels in BDSM
• Cultural backgrounds and beliefs
• Body types and abilities

Prohibited Conduct

Absolutely Forbidden:

• Minors: Any content or discussion involving individuals under 18
• Non-Consent: Promoting or encouraging non-consensual activities
• Abuse: Harassment, threats, stalking, or bullying
• Discrimination: Hate speech, bigotry, or discrimination based on protected characteristics
• Illegal Activities: Promoting illegal acts or substance abuse
• Self-Harm: Encouraging self-harm or suicide
• Exploitation: Financial exploitation or coercion

Responsible Use

Using Your Results

• Results are for personal reflection and self-discovery
• They are not diagnostic tools or professional assessments
• High scores don't obligate you to participate in activities
• Use results as a starting point for communication with partners
• Respect that others may have different results and preferences

Privacy and Sharing

• Your results are private unless you choose to share them
• Do not share or screenshot others' results without permission
• Be mindful when discussing your results in public spaces
• Respect the privacy of partners and community members

Communication Standards

If you interact with others through our platform or about our service:

• Be respectful and courteous
• Avoid making assumptions about others' preferences
• Don't pressure others to share their results
• Use appropriate language for the context
• Respect boundaries and personal space

Mental Health Awareness

BDSM exploration can bring up strong emotions or past trauma. If you experience distress:

• Stop the assessment and take a break
• Reach out to a mental health professional if needed
• Remember that assessment results don't define you
• Seek support from trusted friends or community resources

Education and Growth

We encourage continuous learning:

• Research activities that interest you from reputable sources
• Attend workshops or join educational communities
• Learn from experienced practitioners
• Stay updated on best practices for safety and consent
• Be open to evolving preferences and boundaries
