What Is Adult Friend Finder?
AdultFriendFinder is your number-one stop for casual sex when it comes to internet dating. Unlike the endless swiping of Tinder or the seriousness of the eharmony personality test, AdultFriendFinder just seeks to connect you with other people looking for a quick hookup.
The site has been around for over 20 years, having been founded in 1996. With almost 25 years of experience, AdultFriendFinder has perfected the system of connecting like-minded people.
Have a browse through profiles or let Cupid Matching do the busy work for you. You’ll be two (or probably more) to a bed in no time.
Just a warning before you go any further. Being a sex community, the majority of what you’re going to see on the site is definitely Not Safe For Work.

Right from the opening screen, you’ll be seeing a lot of naked photos and videos, so make sure you’re not in a public place when opening this for the first time. Oh, and turn your volume down before you click on anything. Trust me with that one.

How Does AdultFriendFinder Work?
AdultFriendFinder is a community of open-minded people that are brought together by one thing: sex! This award-winning site works as a hookup dating website, as well as a video/photo sharing database.
AdultFriendFinder asks you to fill in your location. They will then begin to suggest profiles around your area. The idea is that you find someone you’re attracted to, start up a conversation, then meet up in person.
This is similar to many dating apps, the only difference being that AdultFriendFinder is mainly just for hookups rather than serious dating.
If you’re not looking to meet in person, AdultFriendFinder also has lots of activities on the site that you can participate in. If you’re looking to learn more about sex, you can navigate to the sex academy.
Or, if you’re looking to read other members’ hookup stories, you can look at the community section where you’ll find ‘Blogs’ and ‘Magazines’.
AdultFriendFinder really does have something for everyone, so dive right in and have a look. If you’re looking for an even more in-depth review, I’ve got you covered. You can get started for free, so there is no harm in checking it out.
How Do AdultFriendFinder Profiles And Photos Work?
The AdultFriendFinder profile section is split into twelve distinct sections. Each of these relates to a different section of your profile. All of these can be seen by other members of the AdultFriendFinder community.
Once you begin to fill in a profile section, you’ll get a grey semicircle filled in next to the category. Once you’ve completed that section, a green smiley face will display.
Basic Profile, Profile Location, Physical Information, and Personal Information are all pretty straightforward. These are going to ask you the sort of questions that you’re used to getting on other dating apps.
Questions like ‘Height, sexual preference, location’ will be familiar to you if you’ve used other apps like eharmony or Bumble.
Similarly, ‘Add/Manage Photos’ is where you’ll be able to upload any profile photos you want to use. You can also make ‘albums’ which can be made private apart from certain people you give access to.
This is one way people go about sharing more photos of themselves with others on the site, instead of uploading all of your photos directly for everyone to see.
You can also ‘Add Videos’ to your profile if you’re not really a still image kinda guy.
What Is ‘Get Verified’ On AdultFriendFinder?
Get Verified is an option on AdultFriendFinder that verifies the identity of someone using the site. You’ll have to upload a photo of yourself with your username on a slip of paper to prove that you are who you say you are.
This is a fantastic feature as it puts a stop to anyone who is using fake images to catfish others.
This can put your mind at ease as you know you’ll be talking to real people.
What Is ‘Get Confirmed ID’ On AdultFriendFinder?
Similar to the Get Verified option, this is a way that AdultFriendFinder makes sure that everyone on the site is who they say they are.
This will be a private process in which you’ll be asked to upload a form of government ID (like a passport or driver’s license). Once verified by AdultFriendFinder, your ConfirmedID will be displayed on your profile.
Don’t worry, AdultFriendFinder doesn’t share any of your personal information with other members on the site or with external parties, so no one will find out your real name if you don’t want them to.
What Is The AdultFriendFinder Purity Test?
The purity test on AdultFriendFinder is one of the most interesting things about the dating site. Described as ‘Find out if you’re a sexual overachiever or a naughty newbie’, this segment of profile building has you respond to 100 sexual questions.
These questions span through the works of sexual activities and encounters, giving you a point for everything thing you’ve done.
Questions take the form of short statements like ‘Had sex in a public place?’ or ‘engaged in sadomasochism for sexual enjoyment?’ to which you can either tick (if you’ve done/participated in the scenario) or move on to the next one.
Once you’ve answered all 100 questions, you’ll be given a ‘pureness’ score out of 100. You can also opt to show this on your profile.
This is a great feature for ensuring you’re pairing with someone you’re interested in. Whether they’re more sexually out there than you or the other way around, at least you understand where you both stand.
You can take the AdultFriendFinder Purity Test as soon as you create your profile, before paying for anything. If you’re interested to see how ‘pure’ you are, sign up for a free account and take the test.
What Are ‘My Kinks’ On Adult Friend Finder?
AdultFriendFinder designates a section to highlight exactly what your kinks are, and what they are not. There are 31 kinks to choose from, with several options for each kink.
For each kink, there are two boxes you can input your answer into. The sentence flows are ‘I am curious about/ into/ can’t live without + giving and doing/ receiving/ watching/ everything.
So, for example, if you were really into putting on a blindfold, you could say ‘Blindfolds: I can’t live without receiving’. You can skip or fill in all of the kinks in the list, which will then show up on your profile.
How Does AdultFriendFinder ‘Sex Academy’ Work?
The AdultFriendFinder Sex Academy is a tutorial section of the site. AdultFriendFinder is obviously a very sex-positive community. Part of that is wanting you to have the best sex possible.
This portion of the site acts as a video walkthrough for different positions or aspects of sex.
Some of the courses, like ‘Sensational Male Orgasms’ are just text and photo-based. These will walk you through an aspect of sex that you’re interested in.
Alongside this, some of the more popular courses, like ‘Amazing Anal Sex’, are video-based courses. These will display porn actors going through the motions of whatever sex act you’re looking to learn more about.
Both video and text portions of the Sex Academy are well-designed and easy to follow. They’re a great place to go if you want to learn more about sex.
How Do AdultFriendFinder Blogs And Magazines Work?
Although primarily used for connecting like-minded people for casual hookups, AdultFriendFinder has also found a lot of success through its written portion of the site.
The Blogs and Magazines are based around members of the community sharing stories of their sex lives.
Blogs are made by one person to recount some of their sexual experiences. Other members will be able to see and interact with these posts, leaving comments and likes.
Magazines, on the other hand, are stories that are placed into certain categories. Each of these posts will be placed in a category that relates to them.
There are many categories to choose from, between ‘Breaking Up’ and ‘Swinging’, you’ll definitely find something that takes your fancy.
Within each of these sections, there are trending articles where the most popular articles of the current week/month are displayed. These are collected over time, with different months being ‘issues’ that can be accessed retrospectively.
How Does AdultFriendFinder Messaging Work?
All messaging on AdultFriendFinder takes place within the Message Center. You’ll have a different window for every member you’re talking with.
From these windows, you can send and receive messages from other members of the community. You’ll also be able to send and receive private albums.
Using the in-site currency within AdultFriendFinder also lets you send virtual flowers, gifts, and bling to another user. This is just something added to help you get the attention of other users.
Once you send or receive a ‘Bling’, you can display it on your own profile. These are tiny clipart-style animated badges that bring a little variety to your page.
Within your message tab, you’ll also have access to Cupid Matches, which is the primary matching feature of AdultFriendFinder.
How Do Adult Friend Finder ‘Cupid Matches’ Work?
On your profile, you’ll be able to customize your searches to find exactly the type of person you’re looking for.
Categories like Age, Max Distance, Ethnicity, Body Type, Sexual Orientation, Marital Status, and Gender can all be played around with.
Changing this will have two main outcomes. First of all, your main search page will become tailored to your preferences, meaning you’ll be shown more profiles from people that fit the description you’re looking for. Alongside this, you’ll get access to Cupid Matches.
A Cupid Match is when AdultFriendFinder recommends your profile to someone and vice versa. You will both be alerted to the fact that you fit each other’s preferences.
This can help you make connections with people that you may not have come into contact with, but fit most or all of your customized preferences.
Once a Cupid Match has been ‘accepted’ from both ends, you’ll have access to each others’ profiles. From there, you can see all their photos and can message one another.
How To Upgrade To Adult Friend Finder Premium
There are two main ways of upgrading your account to a premium level on AdultFriendFinder. First of all, navigate to the home screen.
From there, you’ll have a panel on the left-hand side of the screen that will say ‘Gold Members’ alongside explaining some benefits of upgrading. If you click this, it’ll bring you to the screen where you can upgrade.
Similarly, at the top of the screen, where your username is, you can hover over that to get the option to upgrade. Either one of these methods will take you to where you can upgrade to a premium account.
The more months you subscribe for, the cheaper AdultFriendFinder becomes. Prices vary from location to location, but these are the most recent prices.
| Pricing | Total Cost | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Free | ||
| 1 Month | $39.95 | $39.95 |
| 3 Months | $80.85 | $26.95 |
| 12 Months | $239.40 | $19.95 |
How To Turn Off AdultFriendFinder Auto-Renewal?
If you have a change of heart and the hookup life isn’t for you, you can always opt to cancel your subscription. Once you turn off your Auto-renewal, you’ll be able to use your account until the period of subscription is over.
Hover over where your username is in the top right of the screen. From there, click ‘My Account’. This will bring up a page where you can edit your profile, upgrade your account or manage your account.
Look for the section that is titled ‘Billing History and Credit Card’, it should be towards the bottom of the page. Click on that link.
Finally, you’ll be able to toggle off your auto-renewal. Turning this off is a good idea just to make sure you don’t accidentally buy more months than you wanted.
If you’re not too sure how to navigate through AdultFriendFinder, you can also always give them a call.
AdultFriendFinder supplied this number which you can contact for further questioning about billing and managing your account: (669) 208-0363.
