is a well laid out site with many services offered for the money. I rate it a 4 out of 5 only because of the slowness and poor picture size and quality.

User Experience
|
: |
I love all the different features offers for the money and I really like that I can meet men from the U.S., Canada and Australia as I would like to travel to both places in the next year or so and would like to make "friends." I like that 's mail members are real and for the most part very down to earth, but very few fill out their complete profile and the quality of the pictures posted at are really poor and very small when you're browsing.

Long Description
|
: |
has put together a very well laid out and organized site that offers a great assortment
of services for those interested in online dating, erotic fun and more. Personally, I haven't seen a site that offers as many features as . After filling out a short questionnaire, to get your own personal profile started, you're given 2,500 tokens, which you can use to browse to look for interesting men and women and see if you'd like to become a paid member. This is a fantastic way to get people hooked on and become active members.
has a unique setup for an adult dating site
is organized quite differently than any other online dating or adult site I've yet encountered. In your "my " section you're advised of how many people are currently online, how many new people have joined this week (over 30,000 the week I reviewed the site), how many people are on live chat and on live web cam. This section of also gives you your personal horoscope of the day, shows you the featured personals of the day and lets you know if you have any new emails. "My " also shows you clearly how to get to just about any other part of you might be interested in.
is populated by Americans, Canadians and Australians
In general, the people who've joined seem to be genuine and I like that people can browse other members in all three countries covers (United States, Canada and Australia) although there were very few men in the browse section for Australia. Also, it looked like a few of the women I browsed through were "professionals" posing as students or massage therapists.
drawbacks: Slow page loads and low-res personals photos
The biggest disappointment for me with was the small size and poor quality of the photos in the browse sections. I guess I've
become spoiled by the good quality of both on other adult dating sites.
is a worthy investment for finding matches interested in adult activity
Overall, is a very good deal even if you try a VIP membership for one month at $24.95. Very few other online personals offer the breadth of services that does for fun, finding a match and the ability to meet other people who are interested in everything from just singles dating to making a wide array of connections with people with very specific erotic, adult and alternative lifestyle interests.

Slow page movement, especially when browsing
