Passion.com

Those who try out Passion.com will find it's pretty similar to Adult Friendfinder. In fact even the logins are interchangeable. However, if you are looking for a toned-down and less "in your face" hookup site, Passion.com is the one for you.

The community

Due to the nature of the site, Passion is for anyone seeking casual relationships or friends with benefits rather than a monogamous relationship.

The Friendfinder network is vast; it has reach across most countries and has tens of millions of registered users. They even have their own messaging system so that you can keep contact and chat live with other members on the network at any time.

Profile Settings

After creating your profile, you can quickly get to work on customizing your preferences - saying what you are looking for and what kind of relationships you'd be open to.

There's an enormous amount of extra detail that you can add on your profile. As well there's the fun sexual compatibility tests. The purity test gets really specific, and probes you on your sexual experience. It's designed to test how adventurous or cautious you are.

It's well worth putting in a little time to fill out your profile. For one thing it lets people know the types of things you'd be into and whether you're worth contacting.

Secondly it means you'll be more likely to appear when people do advanced searching. If your profile is empty, there's nothing to match on so you won't show up. That means far less contacts and messages.

In addition to your personal preferences, you can decide what types of photos and content you want to see. It gives you choices from PG (no nudity), Mild to Everything which includes explicit images and videos.

Membership types

Standard membership is free as with other FriendFinder sites. But in order to do most things, including contact other members, you will need to upgrade.

Premium memberships enable you to access more features and give a wider variety of ways to contact other members.

Sending messages, live online chat and even viewing additional images is not possible until you upgrade.

If you're not ready to upgrade, there's Pay to View. With pay to view, you just pay a one off fee to look at a profile, image or video. While this is quick, it can work out a little expensive over time.

Getting a full membership for one month, costing $40.00 works out cheaper especially if you view more than a handful of profiles.

Standard Contacts is an add on extra. This extra opens the door to anyone on the site, including free members. They can view your profile, send messages and live chat when you're online.

This is a great way to access a huge pool of members, who otherwise have no way of contacting anyone.

Note that the standard (free) membership does not allow viewing of complete profiles.

In summary

In summary, both the app and the website offer members a broad selection of features include live chat, forums, messaging and advanced partner searching. Once you create a profile, the website is easy to navigate and follows the same clear format as the other FriendFinder sites.
