Adult dating sites! You may love them, you may hate them. They always create debate. Some people say they promote honesty, others say they are morally bereft.
I’m not interested in judging people. I am open minded enough to know that people like these sites, so they obviously provide a valuable service to some. Instead of judging, I’d rather take the position of advising you of some of the pros, cons, risks and rewards associated with this category of dating site, so you can be better prepared if you decide adult dating is for you.
Adult dating sites have different pitfalls for men and women. That is, the risks women face are very different to the risks men face. Below is a summary.
The dangers a woman faces from these sites are dangers to her “person”. These sites tend primarily to emphasise open sexuality in dating and therefore there is an expectation that a date will quickly escalate into a sexual encounter. Obviously problems can quickly arise where the expectations of a date differ between the participants.
So the best advice I can give to women is to not put yourself in a position of physical vulnerability until you are completely sure that is where you want to be with a person. Make sure your first date is in a public place, if for no other reason than to ensure the person matches the photo and the other details on the dating site.
Make sure when you meet a potential in the real world you use your usual dating precautions. That is, only escalate when you feel safe and that it is ok. Trust your instincts. Don’t throw caution to the wind just because you met this person at an adult site.
Men face a different threat. There are many scammers out there hoping to push past a man’s common sense with a picture of a beautiful woman and a promise of something to come. These scammers want one thing, the man’s money. This is the biggest danger men face on adult dating sites, the threat of falling for a scam.
There are many different types of dating scam in this regard. For example there is the 1900 phone number scam. Here, the gorgeous girl you met at the website gets you to call a 1900 number and encourages a long phone call. You pay a fortune for the phone call, she makes money from the phone call. She never wants to meet you, if she met you, you wouldn’t have to call and she’d stop making money.
Another breed gets you to join their personal website so you can view her on the webcam. The webcam is pay per view so every time you talk with her, you pay. Once again, she’ll never meet you in real life. Why would she? She’ll stop getting paid if she does.
And then there are scammers who are looking for a way out of their country. Yes, these scammers can be pretty persuasive, but if you are looking for an international introduction, an adult dating site is not the right place to be. Go to a profession international introductions site where the professionals who run it will protect you to some degree from being scammed.
The best advice men can take on board when facing these dangers is simply to remember why you came to the site. You came to meet like minded people to form a hot and steamy relationship with. You didn’t join these sites to give your hard earned cash up to people you’ll never meet.
The rewards of adult dating sites are pretty obvious I think, when used properly. And they are the same for men and women. Simply put, you get to experience exactly what you want to experience, when you want to experience it and with the person you wanted to share it with.
Its not often you get such an opportunity in life, so good luck!
