Adult Friend Finder (AFF) Review: Our Take? Hard Pass (2025)

New Swinger Podcast | Apple | Spotify

Tried AFF for a hot second. Deleted it even faster. What promised to be a sexy playground turned out to be a glitchy junkyard of bots, scams, and saggy internet dicks. Buckle up, this one’s brutal.

Look, we’re no prudes. We host a sexuality podcast. We’ve been naked on cruise ships. But even we couldn’t stomach what we found on AdultFriendFinder. It gave me such the ick.

We gave it a go on a free account. Keyword: free, because we’re not about to drop $30 a month just to get spammed by cam girls, catfish, and some dude named “HungLikeADeer69” whose profile pic looked like it was taken with a toaster. Within 24 hours, we deleted our account and wanted to burn our phone in a ritual cleansing ceremony. Kidding. (Barely.)

Adult Friend Finder review

Bot City, Baby

AFF is overflowing with users – millions, supposedly. But if you believe even half those profiles are real, I’ve got a sexy bridge to sell you. It was bots on bots on bots. Like a zombie apocalypse but with more dildos. We got messages every 30 seconds, all from voluptuous “women” with usernames like BambiSquirtz88 whose bios were just… emojis, porn hub links, and so many graphic photos, my phone blushed and asked for a safe word.

You know what it wasn’t? Human. Authentic. Or sexy.

The D*ck Pic Drought... umm Deluge

The moment you open AFF, it’s like walking straight into a sausage-swinging warzone. Just unsolicited graphic pics—and not the good kind. We’re talking low-angle, harsh-flash, horror movie imagery. One guy’s profile pic was just a close-up of his flaccid situation. OMG, why?!

It’s not even cheeky. It’s just… sad. Desperate. Like Craigslist Casual Encounters had an STD-ridden baby.

Paywalls and Pointless Features

Want to see who messaged you? Pay up. Want to send a message? Pay. Want to filter out the bots and see a single real human? That’s not a feature. That’s a fantasy.

Even basic browsing is frustrating. The site feels like it hasn’t been updated since 2002. Buttons glitch, pages hang, and it reeks of “built by someone’s horny uncle.”

Safety? Never Heard of Her

Let’s not forget the massive data breaches in AFF’s past. Millions of user profiles leaked – including kinks, preferences, and locations. Think Ashley Madison, but raunchier and kinkier. So not only are you talking to bots, you’re doing it on a digital time bomb.

Fake Reviews, Don't Believe the Hype

Let’s be clear – those glowing AdultFriendFinder reviews all over the web? Total BS. They read like paid shills or bots pretending to be real people. I know because I personally tried AFF. We’ve actually tried all the big players – Kasidie, SLS, SDC, Feeld, and 3Fun – and none of them gave us the ick like AFF. This one wins the gold medal for scummy. The second we logged in, it was just a flood of close-up junk and snatch shots. We felt gross. So don’t believe the hype – this site is a scam, pure and simple.

Reddit Agrees: “It’s a Mess.”

“Complete scam. 100 percent fake profiles. The entire site is completely fake.”

We thought maybe we were being dramatic (we are), so we scoured Reddit. Turns out, we were tame. AFF gets roasted like chestnuts in a Christmas fire. Even those trying to be optimistic had to admit – if you do find a real person, you’ll need to wade through 600 gigabytes of cyber sludge first.

“It sucks! Men are constantly duped by scammers and prostitutes… HORRIBLE SITE unless you’re ok catching STD’s.”

Just. Don't. Do. It.

Don’t do it. Just… don’t.

AdultFriendFinder isn’t a friend. It’s a cautionary tale. It’s the digital equivalent of walking into a “massage parlor” and realizing it’s actually a haunted house of broken dreams and grainy webcam feeds. We lasted less than a day. Kept the account open for month, rebooted the site, then promptly deleted our account – ICK! And we still feel spiritually violated.

If you want to meet sexy, open-minded people? Stick with Feeld. Try Kasidie. Hell, even Tinder is a better bet. Just leave this one in the internet graveyard where it belongs.

💋 Happy swinging!
