Why We’re Different

Unlike any dating app you’ve ever used.

Every feature exists for one reason: to make sure the people you meet have done the work to show up as better partners.

🚫

You can’t swipe until you learn.

5 Foundation badge courses on consent, communication, sexual health, desire, and emotional intelligence — required before Discovery unlocks. No shortcuts, no skipping.

🧬

Built on the science therapists use.

Our curriculum is structured around frameworks from AASECT, the Sexual Health Alliance, and Dr. John Gottman’s decades of relationship research — the same science therapists charge $200/hr to teach.

Your matches proved they get it.

Anti-cheat verified courses mean every person you connect with has genuinely learned about consent, communication, and healthy relationships. No faking it.

🌈

Every relationship style. No labels required.

11 gender options, 14 sexualities, 8 relationship styles, 18 desire options. Monogamous, polyamorous, exploring, or anything in between — you define you.

How It Works

Community

Real people. Real change.

Read what members say about learning, growing, and connecting on Positive Thots.

I never realized how much I didn’t know about consent until I took these courses. Now I feel confident having those conversations before things even start.

J

Jordan C.

Non-binary · they/them

As someone new to polyamory, the courses gave me confidence I didn’t know I needed before jumping into connecting with others. I felt so much more prepared.

Exploring polyamory · he/him

The compatibility scoring actually works. I connected with someone who had the same values and actually understood what I meant by ethical relationships. Finally.

FAQ

Questions? We’ve got answers.

What is Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM)?
Ethical Non-Monogamy is an umbrella term for relationship structures where people have multiple romantic or sexual partners with everyone’s full knowledge and consent. This includes polyamory, open relationships, swinging, relationship anarchy, and more. Our app welcomes all relationship orientations — ENM, monogamous, and everything in between.
Is Positive Thots only for certain relationship styles?
Not at all. Positive Thots is for anyone who wants to approach relationships with more intention, knowledge, and communication. We welcome monogamous, polyamorous, exploring, and all other orientations. Our curriculum applies to all relationship styles.
How does the badge system work?
Each badge is earned by completing a course followed by a quiz. The first 5 Foundation badges (Consent, Communication, Sexual Health, Desire, Emotional Intelligence) are required before Discovery unlocks. Additional badges are optional deeper dives. Courses take about 10–20 minutes each and you go at your own pace. You also earn XP, build streaks, and can take on daily challenges.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. We use row-level security on all database tables, meaning your data is only accessible to you and your matches. We never sell your data or use it for advertising. Sensitive profile information (sexuality, gender identity, relationship style) is only visible to authenticated app users — never publicly indexed.
What plans are available?
Free ($0 forever), Plus ($4.99/mo), Premium ($9.99/mo), and VIP ($19.99/mo). All plans include unlimited access to all 20 courses. Plus members get 5 Super Likes per week; Premium gets unlimited. Standard Plus members get 1 Profile Boost/mo; VIP members get unlimited.
What is Mystery Match?
Mystery Match is a unique feature that pairs you with compatible members behind blurred photos. As your compatibility score grows through shared badges and interests, the photos gradually reveal. It prioritizes connection over appearance and is available to Premium and VIP members.
Can I link my FetLife or other social profiles?
Yes! You can link your FetLife profile through your account settings. Enter your FetLife username, add a verification code to your FetLife bio, and we’ll verify the link. This helps showcase your verified community presence.
Where does the educational content come from?
Our courses are structured around evidence-based frameworks from AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists), the Sexual Health Alliance, and Dr. John Gottman’s research on what makes relationships thrive. This is the same science therapists and counselors use with their clients — now built into how you date.
