Your private sanctuary
built for the BDSM community by members of the BDSM community
Built Different
Money is a feature, not a requirement. Run a fully free dynamic — no payment, no paywall, no pressure.
Direct payments go straight to the creator through their own links; we never touch that money. Sanctum credits are optional and opt-in, with a share taken only when a creator cashes out.
Mistress, Domme, Master, Dom, Submissive, Sub, Switch, Slave, Pet, Brat, Daddy, Mommy, Other. All can be creators. All can subscribe.
Built by the BDSM community for the BDSM community. You won’t be quietly banned for who you are.
“The community has been underserved for too long. This is a place that finally gets it.”
How It Works
Whether you charge, never charge, or something in between — Sanctum bends to fit.
Building a paid following.
Mira sets up subscription tiers, locks her best posts behind a price, and shares a wishlist her subs can fulfil. Supporters pay her directly through the links she chooses, and Sanctum takes nothing from that. She also accepts credits, so a new fan can unlock a post or tip her in one tap, and she requires credits to open a conversation, which keeps her inbox to people who mean it. Tips, subscriptions, and gifts arrive on her terms.
Running a dynamic, no money involved.
Asher uses Sanctum as a private hub for his submissives — no money involved. He sets daily and weekly tasks through the built-in task system, tracks completion, and issues rewards for obedience. His subs get a structured dynamic; he gets the tools to run it. The platform is free, and stays that way, because money was never the point.
Educating, journaling, serving a sub audience.
Sage writes about kink ethics, runs a journal of their own service experiences, and shares educational content for newcomers. Their audience is other subs, switches, and the curious — not Dominants. They use a free tier so anyone can read, with optional paid tiers for longer essays and tips for those who want to support the work.
“Money is a feature. Not a requirement.”
What’s Inside
Assign daily, weekly, or one-off tasks. Track completion. Issue rewards from a configurable catalog. Built for D/s dynamics, no payment required.
Every creator gets a free Follow tier automatically. Add paid tiers if and when you want them. You decide the price; we take none of it.
Real-time messaging between creators and their followers. Per-creator settings let you decide who can reach you and how.
Thirteen roles, no hierarchy. Profile fields, search, and filtering all respect that creators and audiences exist across the entire spectrum.
For creators who want them: a wishlist system where supporters can fulfill gifts privately, with no addresses shared.
An 18+ gate on entry, blocking, reporting, and reports read by a person rather than an algorithm. Your account is yours — we don’t sell data or surveil dynamics.
Optional and opt-in. Supporters buy credits once, then unlock posts, tip, and subscribe instantly with no transaction reference to chase. Creators who accept them cash out at 75¢ per credit.
Charge per conversation or per message, waive it for subscribers, or keep DMs open. The setting is yours, and it changes who gets your attention.
Offer custom services with a price and a brief, and lock individual posts behind a one-time price. Paid through your own links or with credits.
Write a week of posts in one sitting and let them go out on their own. Starting-point prompts help when the page is blank, and every word stays yours.
One click opens your store on VestaVids, the clip site in the Vesta network, with your name, photo, and payment link already in place. Both profiles link to each other.
A referral link that records who arrived through you, ready-to-post blurbs, and email starters. Your audience is yours, and you can see it grow.
“You own the dynamic. We just hold the door open.”
Why Sanctum
Sanctum was designed by people who actually live in this community — not by a fintech team chasing a vertical. The defaults, the language, and the features all reflect how D/s, kink, and BDSM relationships actually work.
Mainstream platforms quietly ban kink accounts every day. We don’t. You won’t wake up to find your community erased because a payment processor disapproves of who you are.
Money is optional. Payment methods are yours. Tiers, tasks, rewards — every lever is in your hands. Sanctum is the venue; the dynamic is yours.
