Unlike basic dating sites or hookup apps , where the matchmaking system is the entire experience, Adult Friend Finder offers genuine alternatives to endlessly sifting through profiles, which is great news for people who struggle to find matches because it means you have something to do between one-on-one conversations.

"I like how the cams and chat work, though they can be buggy.

I enjoy getting on there and releasing my inner exhibitionist," said one woman from New Hampshire who uses AFF with her partner.

Spend even a few minutes in the AFF Community or Live section, where people broadcast their own webcam feeds, and you'll see that "releasing the inner exhibitionist" is a common pastime on the site.

Another user , who actively seeks extramarital connections through AFF, reiterated this sentiment: "AFF is entertaining, with tons of videos." But another commonality between the people who enjoyed the site the most was that they were more likely to be in a polyamorous relationship seeking a third (or fourth…) for a fun link.

A former Tinder user put it this way: "Adult Friend Finder is an excellent site for singles/couples that want to swinger or get into threesomes, [but it's not] so useful for one-to-one hookups." Another swinging couple reiterated that sentiment: "We have also had decent luck finding playmates there." Does this mean AFF can't work for singles? Absolutely not.

But it's definitely easier to stand out and gain attention if you join the site in a pre-established relationship.

Con: Paid subscription required to enjoy the site A consistent con, on the other hand, was how limiting the site is for free users.

One user summed it up perfectly : "The free version lets you browse and set up a profile, but if you want to actually message someone, see who’s viewed your profile, or use some of the other key features, you have to pay.
