The Adult Friend Finder Adult Personals makes it as easy as possible for you to meet people through the power of the Internet. They have divided up all of their members according to categories for people interested in all types of intimite and erotic activities. They have also added several powerful features which allow you to narrow your search so that you are able to find exactly the kind of person you are looking for.

 Yes, Adult Friend Finder will always keep the site free for basic members. Payment is only required for members to access some of the high-end features of the site. For a chart of the benefits enjoyed by members who have purchased a Gold or Silver membership, click here.

Yes and no. A valid e-mail address is required in order to become a member of Adult Friend Finder, as you will not be able to obtain your password without one. This means that should any member of the site be found guilty of harrasing other members, they will at least have a clue as to who is causing the problems, and hopefully with the help of that member's ISP can have that person traced down. Needless to say, such people will be permanently banned from membership on this site. However, there is no way that they can do extensive background checks on members, and they expect you to understand that they cannot take responsibility for any damage caused to you by use of this site. Please use your common sense and be careful about giving out personal information such as phone number, home address or real email to people you meet on this site.

Adult Friend Finder works on a membership system because they need to be able to keep data files which contain your profile information and other information such as your "Hot list," etc. Anyone is free to enter the site and browse the profiles of members listed, but in order to respond to ads you must be registered with a valid e-mail address (which helps Adult Friend Finder prevent e-mail harrassment of their members). You must also be a member in order to create a "Hot List" (a list of members who you are corresponding with) and to use the Cupid service (automatic e-mail notification of new members who meet the qualifications you are looking for).

The number of replies you get from other members will depend greatly on the quality of your profile. Here are some helpful tips which will help you:

• Upload a photograph - People like to see who they're writing to, and as a result profiles with photographs get up to 10 times as many clicks as profiles which don't. One of ther goals of Adult Friend Finder in creating this site was to make photograph submission as easy as possible, so take advantage of this feature. If you don't have access to a scanner, and don't know anyone with access to a scanner, you can send your photo by mail.
• Make a catchy title for your profile - When people do a search for listings on Adult Friend Finder, the title of your profile is listed next to your name. As a rule, profile titles like "Hi!" do not catch people's attention

There are two ways that you can search Adult Friend Finder's database: by Handle or by a detailed description. If you are looking for a specific person and you can remember their Handle (or part of their handle), enter it in the "Handle" field at the top of the Search Page. If you are not looking for a specific person, but rather someone who matches a description you give, then use the second form on the Search Page, which allows you to describe the kind of person you are looking for. You can search by almost any category of information which Adult Friend Finder keeps track of, including sex, location, languages spoken, etc.

The Cupid service allows you to provide a profile of the type of person you are looking for, and Adult Friend Finder will then notify you via e-mail of new members who join Adult Friend Finder which match that profile. In other words, you will receive prompt notification of new members without having to come to the site every day to look for them yourself.

For Adult Friend Finder members, when you are browsing the listings, you will notice that every page has a button on it which says "Add this person to my hot list."  Clicking on this button will do exactly what it says. Your Hot List is a list of members who you are interested in, and maintains a link to their page and remembers the last time you sent them e-mail. You can remove people from your Hot List by clicking on the "Remove" checkbox next to their name, and then clicking on the "Update List" button.
