All you need to know about AdultFriendFinder: Test reports, experiences, tips and advice on AdultFriendFinder in the UK

AdultFriendFinder is the British arm of the world's largest sex dating website. The American site has been going strong for over 20 years, and conservative estimates claim that more than 5 million people are registered with the site globally. AdultFriendFinder offers highly explicit content, which includes photos and videos, chats, and groups, which are often pornographic in nature and sometimes based on niche sexual preferences and fetish.

Reputability isn’t one of AdultFriendFinder’s best points - the site has been victim to several high profile hacking and data dumping cases in recent years. On top of this, most people are aware that AdultFriendFinder allows sex workers and cam girls to use the site to make money for themselves. One of the more blatant ways this happens is by “broadcasting for tips” - wherein cam girls will use the site to make cash by showing erotic videos to members.

AdultFriendFinder is one of the world’s leading sites when it comes to erotic amateur content and social networking. Member’s profiles are awash with revealing photos, erotic videos and more, and private chats and group discussions of a sexual nature are the norm. If you’re a fetishist, AdultFriendFinder is probably a great place for you, as the site provides for most sexual preferences imaginable.

If you don’t mind paying (even beyond the membership fees), and find most casual dating sites a little on the tame side, you’re going to have a lot of fun on AdultFriendFinder.

No. If you don't sign up first, you will not be able to get past the AdultFriendFinder homepage. You won’t even be able to see content such as blogs or profiles without registration. However, registration with the site is fast and free.

No, you can barely do anything on this site for free. Even women have to pay, and there are only very occasional exceptions for getting a free memberships, which include special offers for groups and competition winners.

Only a very small section of the site is available for viewing free of charge. You can sign up for free, and make a profile, but without paying you won’t be able to do much more than view profile thumbnails, read member blogs (which often contain very explicit images) and read group discussions and magazine articles.

One of the best things about AdultFriendFinder is the fact that it offers members several payment packages, memberships types, and ways to pay which don’t necessarily require subscription. To take advantage of all sections of the site, as well as send messages and view profiles, you’ll need a Gold Membership, which costs from £13.33 per month. There are also subscriptions for £12.95 per month, and ‘profile highlights’ membership plans which start at just £5.95. Without subscribing, you can unlock individual contacts for a small extra fee, and there are plenty of other options available for differing prices depending on what you want to use the site for. All payments can be made by credit or debit card, direct debit, bank transfer, cheque or postal order.

Yes, you can. AdultFriendFinder is very good for this, and offers many different payment options.

At present, you can only contact AdultFriendFinder customer services via feedback form, as there is no hotline to call.

Registration with AdultFriendFinder is free, and you can keep your free membership for as long as you want. However, if you want to contact others, you’ll either have to pay to view profiles or buy (or win) a Gold Membership.

There’s no secret formula when it comes to AdultFriendFinder and success on this site - the only way you can guarantee yourself a good time is if you’re willing to pay for it. If you’re up for splashing your cash on the professional girls who use the platform, you’ll have no problem getting yourself a date. However, if you’re looking for a free date with a genuine girl, you might have a tougher time on AdultFriendFinder UK.

Your rate of success depends on your definition of success, and your expectations of the site. Compared with other serious casual dating / erotic encounter sites, the chances of a genuine private date on AdultFriendFinder are quite low.

There are no vouchers, coupons or promotional discounts for AdultFriendFinder UK. However, some competitions do pop up now and then, offering free membership, and you can buy gift vouchers for the site. It’s worth noting, though, that the gift vouchers cost more than a normal subscription… and who gives gift vouchers for a sex dating site anyway?

Subscriptions are available from £12.95, but it's possible to view individual profiles from £2,95. AdultFriendFinder subscriptions are generally priced well, and the pay-as-you-go option is a welcome change from the usual subscription models.

If you’re into explicit photos, videos and chat, and not that bothered about hooking up with real members, then AdultFriendFinder is probably fine for you. Victoria Milan doesn’t offer pornographic content, but the chances of a real date are much higher with that portal.

There are a lot of fakes on AdultFriendFinder, but it’s worth emphasizing the fact that AdultFriendFinder actually has fewer fake profiles of women made by men, which have the intention of squeezing the cash out of gullible suitors, than other similar sites. The sort of ‘fakes’ you get on AdultFriendFinder are mainly women using the site to entice men to other platforms, where they can then charge the men for sex services. However, because of the nature of AdultFriendFinder, you should always be prepared for women looking for financial compensation for one thing or another, whether they are ‘fake’ or not.

AdultFriendFinder prefers to have massive membership numbers rather than cleaning up their database and removing fakes. There is an abuse report form you can fill in, but this is mainly aimed at tracking down members who undermine AdultFriendFinder's business model.

There isn’t an AdultFriendFinder app, but there is a mobile website which members can access via their phones. As such, you can still use AdultFriendFinder services while you’re on the go.

Cancelling a paid AdultFriendFinder membership is easy: all you have to do is deactivate the automatic renewal. You can do this in a few seconds by going to your profile, and clicking the option under "My Account." Once the subscription has ended, no further payments will be taken once the current membership expires. Deleting your an account is also very uncomplicated. Just follow the instructions, and click on the correct link in “my account” to delete it once and for all.
