BDSM Personals Sexy Ads Dating Service Review |
| |
|
The Company
|
: |
John and Maureen, who met through online personal ads 8 years ago, founded SexyAds.net to allow other adults to experience what they have found online. As noble as their motivation may be, seems like a place where you're more likely to miss a potential mate, who's probably just as lost as you are, lurking somewhere beneath the pile of confusing categories.
|
|
Site Navigation
|
: |
' cluttered, confusing ads are not clearly grouped, a dizzying array of buttons to overwhelm the visitor.

Sign-Up Process
|
: |
In his first attempt, the reviewer got as far as the page notifying him an email with a registration code has been sent. But there was no email. The second attempt using a different email address met with the same result. ' FAQ/Help section suggests that the subscriber obtains a free Yahoo account and register again. (Guess what? One of those two attempts WAS made from a Yahoo email.) It took a full 15-minutes before the email finally showed up.

Long Description
|
: |
is not exactly a site devoted to BDSM. It is merely a portal to SexyAds.net, where you'll find people with a diverse range of sexual preferences, from straight sex to phone sex and fetishes. So if you're willing to suspend your alternative lifestyle needs to explore ads of men and women with lifestyles that are not so alternative, then jump right into .
Membership is not BDSM-specific
Theoretically, if you sign up for a site that caters to your special interests, you should be among people with similar interests so you can select those with preferred characteristics from this pre-screened pool. Since it doesn't work that way with at SexyAds.net, you'll have to do some back-peddling; you'll have to use the search window to weed out those seeking threesome sex, casual sex, phone chat, pen pals and others.
' site display
Whoever ' Webmaster is, he or she seriously needs to be disciplined. Once you complete the signup, you can explore the 4-column home page, each column populated with links from top to bottom like a train schedule. In addition to the profile management tools available on , picture voting buttons and other standard features, you'll find a daily quiz, results from yesterday's quiz, "recipes that can lead to great sex," advice and tips from SA Gazette and others. Sadly, useful links, like announcements of member-hosted parties and free erotic stories, got lost (look for them in the two columns above the Orgasmic Chef icon).
can be accessed via free membership through the Sexy Ads network
Free membership to SexyAds.net gives you access to forums and chat rooms, which are quite active. In fact, you're more likely to find a companion if you join the right chat room or forum. As an unpaid member, you can also send "free tickles," presumably to indicate your interest. A free tickle is represented by a feather icon. Now, a little warning here: Once you hit that "Send so-and-so a FREE TICKLE" link, that tickle is on its way; there's no additional step asking you if you really want to do this. So if you're one of those trigger-happy folks who like to click at anything blue and underlined, make sure you want to tickle whichever member you happen to be looking at.
's sexy souvenirs
SexyAds.net gives you the option to buy mementos, like T-shirts, mugs and hats. So if you're a brave soul who doesn't mind donning something that reads, "Feeling Naughty? SexyAds.net" across your chest, then happy shopping.
Online daters seeking BDSM partners should look before buying into
To sum it up, at SexyAds.net is not the ideal place to find BDSM partners. But the lively chats, free articles, erotic stories and other giveaways make the free membership a worthwhile experience. Just be open-minded about other people's normal sexual cravings.
