Non-monogamy isn’t a cultural trend, it has been intricately woven into the fabric of human history. Humans have always sought diverse forms of love and connection.

Ancient indigenous societies practiced polyamory, and various religious sects embraced consensual multi-partner relationships.

The free love movement of the 1960s reignited this spirit, challenging societal norms and celebrating love without boundaries.

In the digital age, non-monogamous couples use dating apps and social networks to meet others. But too often, we get stuck with endless scrolling and swiping.

We believe the best connections (and the best sex) happen when we spend more time on less people in a secure and private space.

That’s why our focus is on quality over quantity.

Here’s how Venus works:

An AI matchmaker for non-monogamy

At Venus, you don’t have to search through thousands of profiles. Every morning, we bring you 3 new matches to choose from.

Your matches are based on extensive research and studies on non-monogamy, behavioral science, cues from details in your profile, and even an analysis of your profile photo.

Our goal is to match you with others who complement your personality, values, and desires.

Venus will also generate personalized date ideas, suggest playful conversation starters, summarize profiles, and act as your personal AI therapist, trained on the principals of cognitive behavior thearpy and specialized in non-monogamy.

Built for private figures

At Venus, we prioritize your privacy and consent. All your data is encrypted on our servers to ensure your information stays secure.

We’ve also have built features to promote transparency by adding your partner’s email to receive notifications of messages and friend requests, the ability to blur your photos across the platform, and photos that disappear at whatever time you set.

In the coming months, we’ll be introducing an optional “Verification via ID” feature, where Venus will verify users by submitting a photo of an ID. Verified profiles will receive a “Verified” label, further enhancing security and trust among users.

How to join Venus

Quality connections thrive in a quality community. Venus operates on an invite-only basis, with each new user receiving three invites.

To get an invite code, ask around. Someone you know may already be on Venus. You’ll likely find Venus users on Instagram, Reddit, and at lifestyle events.

If you can’t get access to an invite code, you may join our waitlist for future updates here: TakeMeToVenus.com
