Is there a Brazilian alternative to FetLife?

Yes. DateCerto (datecerto.com) is a Brazilian dating platform for adults 18+ who are into kink, BDSM, swing or open relationships. It runs in the browser and is in closed beta, with access by invitation. This guide is ours, so the comparison below uses only what each service documents, with no ranking.

What is the best app for BDSM in Brazil?

There is no best one for everybody, and this guide does not name one. The answer depends on what you are after: community, dates or both.

A kink social network tends to revolve around groups, events and discussions. A dating app revolves around profiles and conversations. Nothing says you have to pick just one.

What to compare before you choose

  • Who can write first, and whether you can limit that.
  • What blocking does in both directions, including in groups and chats.
  • Whether hiding your profile is free or paid.
  • What verification confirms. A photo badge proves neither identity nor good intentions.
  • Who sees the practices you mark on your profile, and whether you can keep any of them secret.

What four services document

The table sums up what DateCerto, Feeld, FetLife and Sexlog document on their own help pages. DateCerto and Sexlog are run by Brazilian companies. The services are in alphabetical order; this is not a ranking. All of them require you to be 18 or older. Features change: we checked each page on this guide's update date, so confirm with the service itself before you decide.

What each service documents about conversations, blocking, hidden profiles and verification
Service Who starts the conversation Blocking Hiding your profile Verification
DateCerto Matches can message without a limit. Someone you have not matched arrives as a request you accept or decline; for women, the default is to receive requests only from the gender and age they are looking for. Two-way: the person disappears from your search and conversations, and you disappear for them. Show or hide your profile in search and hide your online status and last activity, at no cost. 18+ confirmation through Didit for explicit content. Identity verification is separate and opens only when your profile shows it as available.
Feeld Only after a mutual like, which Feeld calls a connection, at no cost. A Ping can carry a note before that, and you can opt out of notes. You stop seeing each other's profiles, and the block is permanent. You can still share group chats. You can hide your profile; incognito is part of the paid Majestic plan. Optional photo verification: Veriff compares a live selfie with one of your profile photos.
FetLife Anyone, by default. Across four levels, you can send people you do not follow to message requests or bar new conversations, and decide what happens with people who have no photo or are not verified. Neither of you sees the other's activity, with exceptions such as group discussions. Private messages are archived for the person who blocked. FetLife documents no incognito mode; deactivating the account hides the profile. With a government ID or a photo on your profile, whenever you choose.
Sexlog You can limit messages by gender, to friends only or to favourites only. Private messages are listed among the benefits of the VIP and Premium plans. The blocked profile cannot open yours, message you or interact with your content. Pausing your profile takes it out of view for people visiting the site. Invisible mode only hides your profile visits and is paid, with tokens or in Premium. Age verification mandatory since March 2026. Selo Real is not a paid feature and asks for face photos and an ID document by email, but only shows on a profile with an active plan.

What DateCerto does, and what it does not do yet

You write what you are looking for, and search finds people by the interests they declare. People you have not matched with arrive as conversation requests, which you accept or decline. A desire marked secret never appears by name.

The limits count too. There is no app in the stores, only the site, on a phone or a computer. Requesting an invite creates no account and gives no immediate access. Identity verification is not available in the beta yet, some search filters are Premium, and we publish no member numbers and promise nobody in your city.
