Fefet Spice

FetLife is a social networking website that serves people interested in BDSM, fetishism, and kink. On its homepage, FetLife describes itself as 'Like Facebook, but run by kinksters like you and me.' The 'Fet' in the name refers to 'fetish'. FetLife distinguishes itself from competitors by emphasizing itself as a social network rather than a dating site.[1] It is on principle supportive of fringe sexual practices.

History[edit]

FetLife was launched in January 2008 by John Kopanas (also known by his username John Baku), a software engineer in Montreal, Quebec.[2][3] Frustrated by attempts to find women who had the same sexual interests as he did, Baku created a website in 2007 called 'FriendsWithFetishes'. While working on release 2.0 of FriendsWithFetishes, Baku decided to launch it as a separate site and named it FetLife.[4] James Golick served as chief technology officer.[5] In 2009 Baku received the Community Choice (Man) Award as part of the Pantheon of Leather Awards.[6]

Features[edit]

In the past, any member could create a group devoted to whatever fetish they chose. However, in January 2017, FetLife temporarily shut down the ability to create new groups. At the same time, they deleted hundreds of existing groups, including anything with the words blood, needles, rape and incest.[7][8] The ability to create new groups was reinstated shortly afterwards.

All new members are by default enrolled in the group Fetlife Announcements, which has (as of 2017) over 6 million members.

There are many groups devoted to answering thematic questions, such as 'Ask a Submissive', 'Ask a Mistress', 'Ask a Dominant', 'Ask a Stripper', 'Novices & Newbies' and so on. Groups can be searched for by words in the group title.

In addition, there is a separate 'directory' of fetishes which a member may indicate their interest in. Any member can create a new fetish.

Any member can post an Event with date, location, cost, dress code, and other information. Location can be concealed and only revealed individually by the Event owner to participants. Users, on an Event's page, can indicate that they 'will attend' or 'might attend'.

All members have a personal profile. A member may have multiple affiliate profiles, but sockpuppets are against the site's terms of use. There are 12 possible 'sexual orientation' choices, plus 'Not Applicable' and over 60 'role' choices. The groups the member belongs to and the fetishes the member is 'into' or 'curious about' are displayed as part of the profile. Beyond this, the member may write text that is automatically posted on their profile, with no limitation on length. All profiles are by default visible to all members, though a member can block another member.

Members can indicate that they are 'Friends' with another member, and thus receive notification of the Friend's activity (for example, which groups the Friend joins and what posts they make). Confirmation from the proposed Friend is required.

Members can also indicate that they are in one or more relationships. A separate menu allows a member to indicate more specifically any D/s (Dominant/submissive) relationships they may be in. Both optionally allow the member to specify someone on their friends list.

Members can exchange private messages with any other member. A limited chat function was implemented in 2013, allowing members to chat to others with whom they were friends: this function was discontinued in 2016. In 2020 it became possible to select if one wishes to receive messages from any member or just from followers and friends.

Each member can post writings (journal entries, erotica, and notes), photographs, and videos. Posting of photographs or videos not taken by the member themself is not permitted unless they are photos or videos of the member. While membership is free, videos can only be viewed by financial supporters. Those who make a financial contribution receive an 'I Support FetLife' badge on their profile.

Any member may comment on another member's piece of writing, photo, or video. Comments are public and cannot be changed after posting.

Fe Fet

The search feature is deliberately limited to prevent members from finding users with specific characteristics, such as age or gender.[9] Also, writings cannot be searched by topic or keyword; they are only available via the author's profile page. From 2020 it is possible to add tags to writings and search a writing via tags.

Members are encouraged to report illegal content as well as terms of use violations to the administrators of FetLife.

Criticism[edit]

In 2012, FetLife found itself at the center of a controversy regarding its policy that users pledge not to 'make criminal accusations against another member in a public forum'.[10] This policy has been objected to by users on the basis that censoring posts of sexual assault victims that name predatory users prevents them from warning others.[11][12][13][14] FetLife's reasoning behind this policy is that it allows users to accuse others of a crime, which could be libelous if the allegations are false or unprovable.[15][16]

An account is required to view content on FetLife, although membership is free. The site is not indexed by search engines and, partly because of this, critics have argued that FetLife presents itself as being more private than it is.[15]

In April 2017, FetLife was accessed by Brendt Christensen, the killer of Yingying Zhang, to explore topics such as 'Abduction 101' and sub-threads such as 'Perfect abduction fantasy' and 'planning a kidnapping.'[17]

After being cited in several criminal cases, FetLife prohibited several hundred fetish categories.[18]

A ferroelectric field-effect transistor (Fe FET) is a type of field-effect transistor that includes a ferroelectric material sandwiched between the gate electrode and source-drain conduction region of the device (the channel). Permanent electrical field polarisation in the ferroelectric causes this type of device to retain the transistor's state (on or off) in the absence of any electrical bias.

Fe Fet

FeFET based devices are used in FeFET memory - a type of single transistor non-volatile memory.

Description[edit]

Feta

Use of a ferroelectric (triglycine sulfate) in a solid state memory was proposed by Moll and Tarui in 1963 using a thin film transistor.[1] Further research occurred in the 1960s, but the retention characteristics of the thin film based devices was unsatisfactory.[2] Early field effect transistor based devices used bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) ferroelectric, or Pb1-xLnxTiO3 (PLT) and related mixed zironconate/titanates (PLZT).[2] In the late 1980 Ferroelectric RAM was developed, using a ferroelectric thin film as capacitor, connected to an addressing FET.[2]

FeFET based memory devices are read using voltages below the coercive voltage for the ferrolectric.[3]

Fe Fetal

Issues involved in realising a practical FeFET memory device include (as of 2006) : choice of a high permitivity, highly insulating layer between ferroelectric and gate; issues with high remanent polarisation of ferrolectrics; limited retention time (c. a few days, cf required 10 years).[4]

Provided the ferroelectric layer can be scaled accordingly FeFET based memory devices are expected to scale (shrink) as well as MOSFET devices; however a limit of ~20 nm laterally may exist[5] (the superparaelectric limit, aka ferroelectric limit). Other challenges to feature shrinks include : reduced film thickness causing additional (undesired) polarisation effects; charge injection; and leakage currents.[4]

Research and development[edit]

Structure of a 1 Transistor FeRAM cell

In 2017 FeFET based non-volatile memory was reported as having been built at 22nm node using FDSOI CMOS (fully depleted silicon on insulator) with hafnium dioxide (HfO2) as the ferroelectric- the smallest FeFET cell size reported was 0.025 μm2, the devices were built as 32Mbit arrays, using set/reset pulses of ~10ns duration at 4.2V - the devices showed endurance of 105 cycles and data retention up to 300C.[6]

Effete

As of 2017 the startup 'Ferroelectrc Memory Company' is attempting to develop FeFET memory into a commercial device, based on Hafnium dioxide. The company's technology is claimed to scale to modern process node sizes, and to integrate with contemporary production processes, i.e. HKMG, and is easily integrable in to conventional CMOS processes, requiring only two additional masks.[7]
