Explore: how to find people

Explore is the profile grid. It is not a catalogue in arrival order: it sorts by relevance.

What weighs in the order

• Compatibility — what you and the other person rated in My practices, with the right polarity (what one gives and the other receives).
• Reputation.
• Recent activity.
• Proximity, if you have set a location.

Profiles with DomBound+ stand out with a + and a crimson glow.

The filters

• Role — Dom, sub, switch.
• Type — In person, Cyber or Both.
• Availability — who is looking right now: Free sub, Dom searching.
• Searching only — leaves out anyone who is not.
• Preferences — by specific practices.
• Community — by identity: leather, bear, pup, uniform…
• Who visited me.

Advanced filters (role, practices, proximity) are DomBound+; the free plan sees a limited number of profiles. The detail is on Pricing.

What you see on a profile

Opening one: their description, their preferences, their hard limits, their reputation (if shown), their honours, their public connections and their gallery.

From there you can invite to circle, propose a bond, write (via a request), share their profile or block/report.

Since the profile sheet was reworked, profiles also show age and attributes (height, weight, build, position, orientation, circumstances, experience) and their communities, if they filled them in. That is what makes the identity filter useful.

Proximity

For proximity to work you need a location set in My account: GPS — compared on the server and never shared — or a manual city. Detail in location and check-ins.

One tip that saves time

Compatibility is calculated from what you declare. A profile with no rated practices is not «mysterious»: it is invisible to matching. Ten minutes in My practices completely changes what you see and who sees you.
