Ashley Maddison is probably the most notorious hookup website out there. But notorious in an erotically good way. Their app isn’t bad either.

When first launched, Ashley Maddison was seen as a site for fun-loving individuals looking for a good time with no expectations other than both partners experiencing mutually great sex. But it became so well talked about that married folks came aboard to find out what all the fuss was about before long. They found out, and they signed up in their thousands.

Consequently, the site has repurposed itself and is now one of the hottest places for people looking for an affair, whatever their sexual and social persuasion. Today, the site is logging 60 million visits per month.

When our team carried out their site testing exercise, they logged up more messages and meetings than any other sex dating site. That says it all.

Adult Friend Finder has 64 million members in the USA, 2 million of which are active on a weekly basis. However, be warned that this site is not for the faint-hearted. Its advertising language and photo shots leave little to the imagination.

This site welcomes all types of arrangements, including couple share, polygamy, nooky buddies, monogamy, and many more.

The negatives relating to the Adult Friend Finder site are its outdated website design, its many fake profiles, and if you are of a more genteel nature, you could be offended by its rather brash approach.

If experienced women are your thing, then look no further than Milfaholic.com, one of the best sites to find horny, older women looking for action. Milfaholic features over 12 million member profiles and lets you search for potential hookups in your area, making your cougar fantasies easier than ever. You can start with a limited trial membership at less than $3 per day for three days. If you like what you experience, you can upgrade to a Gold membership for less than $12 per month.

Reddit R4R is something a little different for those searching for a hookup but who don’t want to go through the aggravation of signing up, posting photographs, creating an appropriate profile, and, if appropriate, paying.
The great thing about Reddit is that it allows you to view personal ads and make instant communications with whoever made the posting. It doesn’t have the usual features of other sex dating sites but relies instead on allowing people to instigate instant conversations.

The only thing that must be said about Reddit 4R4 is that the number of profiles is limited.

The Be Naughty website was launched in the year 2000 and has a US membership 0f 500,000. 120,000 of whom are active every month. Most members fall into the 25 to 34-year-old age group, with the 18 to 24-year-olds following closely behind.

The larger female membership is entitled to free communication with potential matches.
This site is ideal for people looking for casual sexual encounters and promotes an atmosphere that encourages members to be naughty when detailing their needs and wants.

Be Naughty is available through its website and via an app, but the app is only useable with Android devices

Tinder is one of the most visited dating sites around. It has tens of millions of members worldwide, over 8 million of which are active in the USA every week. It has one of the best gender ratios of all hookup sites, with 63% male and 37% female.

As well as its website, Tinder also has an app widely recognized for its special swipe feature. Members of all ages chance their luck by swiping left or right to find a suitable match.

The main criticisms of Tinder are (a) limited profile information of profiles and (b) not very secure with regards to authenticating a profile.

The Seeking Arrangement website has a US membership of 5.4 million, 150,000 of whom are active per week. It is something of a niche site that aims to put together sugar daddies, mommies, and sugar babes.

The site describes “a sugar daddy” as a refined gentleman with abundant resources that he is looking to share. A ”sugar babe” is described as someone with exquisite taste searching for a relationship with a sugar daddy as a friend, lover, or confidante, but on her own terms.

Most members fall within the 18 to 34-year-old bracket, but there is also a good spread of members from 35 to 55-year-olds and above.

One thing to be wary of with this site is that users are warned about the possible onsite presence of escorts and sex workers.

Hinge is a dating app with 500,000 US members, 90,000 of whom are active on a daily basis. The gender split is 55% male and 45% female. The membership base consists mainly of young professionals aged between 24 and 32.

The site tends towards providing its members with more meaningful relationships rather than quick in and out hookups. Because of this, the sign-up process is long and a little more involved than most ordinary sex dating sites.

This site is not just for people looking for casual sex.

The Alt sex dating website is for those who like their sex a little kinky – fetishes, BDSM, and bondage – all are up for consideration. Membership numbers 415,000 in the US, 80,000 of which are active every week. The age spread is pretty consistent all the way from 18 to 55 years old, plus.

The majority of members favor or are interested in fetishes, including BDSM and role-playing.

To unlock all of the kinky contacting options, including their adult chat rooms,  you must be a premium member.

Plenty of Fish has been around since 2003. They purport to be the largest sex dating site on the planet with a worldwide members ship of 90 million, 78 million of whom are in the US with 2 million logins per day.

The gender split is 60% male and 40% female, the majority of which are in the 25 to 34 years old age group.

Most members react immediately to forum posts on the subjects of love, relationships, tips, and non-dating topics such as gaming, movies, and music.

One drawback with this site is that its communication features are not as cutting edge as some of its competitors.
