Where can I find kinky like minded people in Portland online? mi

All the personals i've tried are advertising ads. I tried the mercury personals online and that is really good, but what else is out there?

Theres always the casual encounters section of craigslist (usually NSFW).

Try CraigsList -- not so much for itself, but to find some direction.

I believe the personals on bondage.com are free.

Rather than jumping straight for the personals, I'd concentrate on getting to know those most involved in the scene, as they can help advise you on where to find exactly what you're looking for. I would check out http://www.livejournal.com/community/portland_bdsm/, make a post to the community, and interact with those who are there... especially darklady, as she's Ms. Oregon State Leather, and is well known for the events that she hosts.

I would also consider looking for local munches and generally getting to know people first.

Adult FriendFinder

While you won't have as many features, they do offer free accounts.

Tribe.net has many thriving Portland communities, many of them adult. Tribe tends to attract the, er, "free-spirited". Jumping in there and getting to know folks would probably be a good way to go.
