Adult dating sites

Posted by enrico33 on Thursday, June 21, 08:54 AM

Recently, adult dating sites have started to explode. It seems that more and more people are not looking for love on the internet, but directly for sex. Adult dating sites turn might turn sex into a consumption good. Maybe it is too easy to determine the person you want to make love with by selecting him/her from a database. Do adult dating sites make it to easy to have sex? What is your opinion? Would you ever consider using one?

I used to work for FriendFinder so can attest to their effectiveness for the members.  The leading sites are AdultFriendFinder and SexSearch.  I think the way to think about these sites is that everyone likes to lead with their preferences for a certain 'thing' in a relationship.  It could be devotion to God, in which case you might go to ChristianCafe.  It might be devotion to your pet, in which case you might go to DateMyPet, it might be an interest in meeting others of a similar race, so perhaps Arablounge.com, or IranianPersonals.com.  The adult, a.k.a. casual dating, a.k.a sex dating sites helpe people lead with their interest for sex.  The reason they are so big these days (they've been growing fast for a long time, btw) is that EVERYONE seems to be interested in sex.  Fancy that!  :-)   The sites also allow people to learn and ogle and discuss aspects of sexuality with others who are 'experts.'  They're entertaining, shocking, and educational all at once.

Very interesting comment, Mark. I like the possible explanation you provide.
Some people have critique on datingsites - especially sex dating sites - because they change the normal "real life" dating and mating process. Every large change of fundamental society values seems hard to accept for many people. I think that is one of the main reasons why (adult) dating sites are criticized.

Cool "Group" Tam =)

Mark, Enrico,  is adult dating as popular in Europe as it is in the states? If so, are there some countries in particular where adult sites are more popular. Granted, sex is sex but Europeans as a whole are so much more open about the topic than we are here in the US. As a result, I wonder if there is less of a need ot interest in adult sites.

living in a community where people hardly turn to adults before the die and they remain children of up to 7 feet tall, and where access to internet in general and such sites in particular is seriously limited, and where people do not have the payment means required to use such sites-as they are all pay sites, I have no idea! I mean, what is an opinion? we are not supposed to have opinions here!
We don't even have any bars here so that Brian's comparision would make any sense to me!

anyhow, despite all the above, and the external ignorance I live in, I know myself well, and no I'd never use such a machine to find sex..

I'm headed to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain in October to see just which dating sites can be accessed to the most liberal areas of the Middle East.  Many, I hear, are blocked.  I'd also like to appeal and make a presentation to the authorities to open up access to some of the major dating sites and SNS.  What's your thoughts?

It's hard enough finding anyone for a meaningful relationship, no wonder we Muslims have it so tough, so why would anyone merely want to find someone just for the purpose of empty sex?  Must have been some invention of men who don't often focus on the heart anyway.  Society is in the trash heap and this kind of stuff sadly only makes it worse.

Prude to crude: The evolution of sex

Show/hide details

Group description

This group's main focus is mapping the ever changing ways we interact with our sexual partners. How has sex changed over the years and the influential people who helped push it along? I never realized there were such “variant” forms of sex until a few years ago; some of which are considered taboo. I really want to talk about how sex has changed from cutting a hole in the sheet to full on S&M. How did sex go from prude to crude?
