CARNALIFE is a private membership organization based in Tampa, Florida, serving the kink, fetish, BDSM, and sex-positive lifestyle community across the Southeast United States. Membership includes vetted events, education, coaching, matchmaking, and a venue marketplace.

Is CARNALIFE a dating app?

No. CARNALIFE is a private membership organization, and matchmaking through Carnal Affinity is one part of a larger membership. Introductions are made within a vetted community based on real compatibility, guided by our team. There is no swiping and no anonymous browsing.

How do I become a member?

You apply. Every application goes through the same process: identity verification with a selfie, a public records check, a reference who will vouch for you, an interview, and review by a real person on our team. Approved members pay dues and hold full membership. The vetting criteria are published, so you can read exactly what we look for before you apply.

Coming Soon

Carnal Dens

The door to physical space.

Carnal Dens will be CARNALIFE's venue and space marketplace: real rooms, real hosts, vetted the way everything here is vetted. It isn't open yet. Dens comes later, once CARNALIFE has the partner venues to make it worth building. Want to be notified when it does? Join the interest list below.

Join the Interest List

What this will be

A marketplace of spaces that welcome this community, run by hosts who understand it. Venues for events, rooms for private gatherings, each one vetted the way a member is: somebody from CARNALIFE has stood in it, met the host, and put a name to the recommendation.

Why it is not open yet

A marketplace with three listings is a directory of favours. Dens opens when the network of partner venues is deep enough to be worth a member's trust, and the venues CARNALIFE already works with for its own events are the seed of that list.

What happens instead today

Every CARNALIFE event is already held in a space that passed the same bar Dens will formalise. The marketplace comes later; the standard is in force now.
