Long Description
|
: |
is here to aid you in your quest for "lust, sex and no commitments." So if you're seeking romance, marriage or friendship, you may consider the less-sexual matchmaking sites, like , or . But if you're seeking a sex partner, can accommodate pretty much any type, from a hot chat buddy or a straight sex partner to a dominatrix.
Sign up for , but be wary
's signup process is fairly effortless but the registration confirmation received by the reviewer was quarantined by his email server Earthlink.net for a suspected virus. While this in no way suggests malicious intent from the 's operators, it is an indication that you must proceed with caution. The reviewer recommends keeping your anti-virus software fully updated before registering.
Find your VERY specific perfect match at
The profile management tools are intuitive, but a bit confusing. For instance, under "Whom You Seek," allows you to specify your desired mate or mates by putting a checkmark for "man, woman, couple, group," with the option to select all that apply. But afterwards, when you specify hair color or eye color, you can select no more than one button. What if you are looking to engage in group sex and you are open to, say, blondes or brunettes with blue or green eyes? Even those seeking single-partner sex may not want to limit themselves to blondes only or brown eyes only. This unnecessarily restricts the search pool.
Post your profile for free
If you sign up for a free membership, you can post an ad, browse ads and conduct searches, but be ready for 's repeated invitations to upgrade. You'll get that prompt each time you try to obtain more information on a certain member.
Adult photos are the rule, not the exception
The photo policy at is quite liberal. Member photos are explicit; many contain full-frontal nudity or close ups of private parts. Since you are signing up here to search for a sex partner, chances are you don't object to such exposures. But if you are sensitive to these types of photos, you may want to reconsider; there are other online adult dating services with stricter photo policies.
Extras: Dating Tips with a Twist
offers some uncommon features, like the "Sex News Feed" under "Love Line Quick Clicks" on the home page. It features interesting news items ("Sect leader guilty of Chilean sex crimes," "Catholic Bishops Launch Marriage Initiative," and more), culled from Reuters, AP and other media sources. It is doubtful that these items will help you in any way in your search for a sex partner, but they do give you something to read if the forums and chat rooms become inactive. also has a section with dating tips ("Is a Long Distance Relationship for You?" "20 Signs Your Sex Partner is Becoming Your Soul Mate," and so on). There is also a schedule of events, but unfortunately the schedule is empty at the moment.
Offers Dedicated Customer Service
In 's News section, which is separate from the Sex News Feed section mentioned above, there are three items. Two are generic news items, which might have been better suited for the Sex News Feed. The other is an announcement from about some new improvements. They all dated back to February 2003, a possible clue as to the launch date of the site. While there isn't a lot of information on the company behind , it is one of the few matchmaking sites with dedicated customer support via phone 7 days a week (the service is outsourced to Live Person, a New York-based independent support-service provider).
A Popular Online Adult Community
During the reviewer's three test sessions at , the online counter indicated there were between 3,500 to 5,000 people online at the same time he was on. In the absence of any published statistics on its membership, the reviewer concluded from these numbers that there is at least a substantive user base at .
is a step behind other adult dating sites
Even though is full of potential, the awkward profile-building tools and the lack of data on the company prevent it from rising above other adult matchmaking sites.
