INTRODUCTION:
Meeting people who have some pretty out-there kinks used to be pretty difficult in the pre-internet days. It wasn't something you could really put in a personal ad in the back of a newspaper or magazine. You pretty much had to live in a city and know the right kind of people and the right kind of clubs. Nowadays, you only need to know the right kind of websites, and I can say for certain that one of the best I've used recently is TheCage.com.
When you want to find people who have the fantasies as yourself, it's only a matter of browsing through the huge selection of topics and member lists, and there are a lot of other great features on the site that can teach you a lot about the BDSM community at large. To prove that they're caught up with the latest trends, TheCage.com also offers free podcasts, and has a very popular twitter page.

ABOUT:
When you arrive in TheCage.com, you'll be surprised that the only really dark thing on it is the background. It has an extremely modern blog-style layout, with all the different features listed along the top, and all the topics in the forum listed below. The forum is a great way to meet other members as people go into each topic thread and can have detailed, layered conversations about anything from submission to questions about sex toys, and even recommendations for things to do in certain cities. The site also has a great personal ads section, which you can search for through a variety of filters, including location.
If you want to actually interact with everyone else, however, you have to sign up and create a profile, but fortunately that is completely free to do. You should also add a lot of details to your profile page (age, relationship status, likes/dislikes), because this is one of the main ways other people will see you, both in the forum and for personal ads. All this really helps you to start to get to know the thirty thousand-plus members who use the site, and when you do want to talk to one person specifically, it's easy to send a private direct message to them (it's a good opportunity to talk a bit kinkier, and maybe share info about your exact location so you can meet up).
The site also offers plenty of education for those who are new to BDSM. There are several articles about the various aspects of the lifestyle written by experts, and the blog section is full of great pieces written by different members.
