Are AdultFriendFinder’s messaging tools actually safe for swapping nudes?

Few sites have brought horny adults together on the scale that AdultFriendFinder has.

The long-running platform is kinky, fetish-friendly, and very NSFW (hey, what's not to like?).

So much so that it hasn't created an app for the Apple App Store.

That would require complying with Apple's app guidelines and toning down its content considerably.

AFF won't compromise what has always been its most attractive USP: unfiltered adult fun.

But with a major data breach some ten years ago and the ever present threat of online scams and sexploitation , it's fair to question whether it's safe to go full throttle on AdultFriendFinder — particularly if you plan on sharing nudes, one of AFF's favorite, most-encouraged activities.

So, is it safe to share nudes on AdultFriendFinder? And how does it compare to other widely-sued sexting platforms like Snapchat and the now-defunct Confide ? Keep reading for an honest look at AdultFriendFinder's pros and cons when it comes to exchanging nudes.

All it takes is an internet connection and a few minutes of your time.

But AFF does offer a layer of security that helps ensure trust among users, who, for the most part, are total strangers.

Indeed, AFF uses a profile identification technology called ConfirmID , which furnishes ID-approved users with a verification checkmark, signaling to other users that everyone with a checkmark is exactly who they say they are.

To proceed, simply upload a piece of government-issued identification (such as a driver's license, passport or healthcare card) and do a face scan via your webcam.

ConfirmID will then do exactly that and confirm that you are the person on the ID card.

Where are the disappearing messages? From Snapchat to the late, great Confide, disappearing messages (messages that self-delete after a set amount of time, not only from the chat logs but from the servers) have become a privacy staple.
