Step aside Fetlife, Hinge and KinkD, a new online community and dating app is set to bolster the user experience with targeted matchmaking, virtual dating, community networking and a simplified subscription.
Newly incorporated start up company, The Stevant Group has launched its Beta Testing for Kinky Souls, a new and improved online community and dating experience, which will match users across three key parameters: Lifestyle, Experience and Kinks. The full online app will be available to users from 1 December 2021.
That doesn’t mean users can’t sign up now - to participate in its online Beta Testing for free on their mobile friendly website at www.kinkysouls.com
Kinky Souls is setting itself apart in the online community and dating world, by focusing on the user experience by combining community and dating features in the one place. Users will have access to Events Calendar, Kink Education, Forum, Business Directory and Live streaming, as well as unique dating features such as a matchmaking algorithm (matches users against Lifestyle, Experience and Kinks). Additionally, users will be able to vet potential play partners online safely using the sites messaging, video/phone chat and virtual rooms for meetups/dates.
When asked Director of The Stevant Group and Co-founder of Kinky Souls, Ms. Antania Monkley stated “We saw a gap in the adult market, that really didn’t cater for proper matchmaking in the swinger/kink lifestyle. Kinky Souls seeks to fill that gap and provide users not only with access to matchmaking but education and a community as well.”
While there are sites and apps out there, Ms Monkley indicated that they failed to meet basic safety concerns around consent and keeping toxic and abusive behaviour out.
On concerns regarding safety, Ms Monkley indicated that there was a focus on safety that other sites and apps don’t provide: “We are investing in ID verification to join, as well as reporting system that allows users to report other users, block other users and a Terms and Conditions Policy that has zerotolerance for unsafe, toxic or abusive behaviour. We want this to be a safe and inclusive community for everyone.”
In addition, to the safety measures Kinky Souls is creating for users, the platform is centred around boundaries and consent, users can post images and videos and the site allows for private video and photo albums, where access needs to be requested and granted. Additionally, unlike many other sites, Ms Monkley indicated that they have human moderators vetting photos, and profiles as well, which is a throw back to the Yahoo Angels era.
With a simplified subscription service, users can choose to have a free account with limited features or a monthly/yearly paid membership. Community features, such as the forum, business directory, education and events calendar will remain free, while the dating features such as virtual rooms, video/phone chat and messaging will be limited to paid members.
A key point of difference is the inclusion of the users and the LGBTIQ+ community in developing features. Ms Monkley said when asked about the sites development, “The community and users need to be involved, there is no one size fits all rule, and as we grow, we want to improve on what we have. We have so many ideas that users and the community have already raised with us, from small tweaks to brand new features that will give a voice to many in the community who are silenced.”
With over 10million users on some of the largest Kink/Fetish sites there is a growing need for adults to access an online service that can directly match them to individuals who have similar kinks and interests. Despite the niche’ market, Kinky Souls is designed for both experienced and new adults in the swingers/kink lifestyle and this is due to The Stevant Group pairing the site with their free educational website, KinkHeaven.
With the safety, community focused and user experience at the forefront in the creation of Kinky Souls, this is release that is not to be missed.
