Questions About Adult Dating!

What are some tips for casual/adult dating?

You've just gotten out of a serious relationship and now you've decided to try a casual adult dating. Where do you start? Are you rusty? There are a few things that you can keep in mind that will help to ensure that your casual relationship remains safe, fun, and most of all, casual.

1. Always make sure to be honest about wanting to keep the relationship casual. After all, you do not want to mislead your partner into thinking you want more when you're really just looking for casual sex.

2. Remember to never spend the night, because this gives your partner the impression that you want to move beyond a casual relationship into a more serious one.

3. Remember that you are not the only one in a casual relationship. You're looking for a local girl that will have sex with you, and chances are that she is just looking for sex too. You're going to talk to hot, sexy women and she will probably end up talking to sexy men or woman as well. This is a casual sex date.

4. Always take care of yourself. Make sure that, when you meet up, you are clean and ready for sex. With casual adult dating, she will be more likely to refuse sex if you do not look clean and ready to go.

5. Remember that she is a fuck buddy, and that you are looking for hot sex and nothing more. Always, ALWAYS, wear protection.

6. Casual dating lets you try new things. Maybe you've always wanted a threesome, or maybe you have never had sex with a blonde. Maybe, you want to be tied up by a hot MILF. Remember to have fun and be adventurous.

Do's and Don'ts of casual sexual encounters and adult dating sites

Here are some do's and don'ts to help you make sure you're having a good time, staying safe and being a good fuck buddy:

DON'T: Don't text her at all hours of the evening. Just because she is having casual sex with you doesn't mean you should be bugging her all the time. She might be married...

DO: Always use a condom and make sure to get tested for STD's regularly. Also, look out for cold sores and don't have casual sex with women who look like they may have had a lot of unprotected sex.

DON'T: Don't stay too long. You're there for casual sex and not a relationship. Remember, she might have just fucked you, but her husband or boyfriend could be coming home any minute.

DON'T: Don't cuddle after sex. Remember you are trying to keep this a no string attached night. You're there for sex, and once you are done you should not be giving her the wrong impression.

DO: Keep repeating to yourself before, during and after sex, that this is just about sex and not love. That good feeling you are getting while she is riding you or giving you a blowjob is not love...

DO: Experiment and keep things wild. You're not there to make love, you're there for crazy sex, so make it crazy. Ask her if you can tie her to the bed, or ask her if you can cum on her face. Chances are she is meeting you for local casual sex because she wants to try new things too!

DON'T: Don't be mean to your casual sex partner. Remember, this could be the first time she has ever had sex with a random local stranger too. She could be nervous, and you probably are too. The goal is to have fun and have sex and to go home laid, not to go home angry.

What are some tips for meeting up and hooking up through adult dating sites?

There is probably nothing better than hooking up with a hot local girl or meeting up for a one night stand while your travelling or while the wife is away (nobody is judging...) but there are a few things you should always keep in mind:

1. If you live in a large city and you are looking for local girls for sex, you might accidentally see someone you know. If you do, hit her up and see if she wanted to have sex with you, but remember that she is local and you might have the same friends or know the same people.

2. Never spread rumors or share information about the local women you are talking to. They are simply looking for a good time and should be comfortable doing so. By spreading rumors or sharing private information about the girl, you might scare her into deleting her profile. Always respect the girls that are online looking for local hookups, just as you would want them to respect you.

3. Chances are, that if you are trying to meet local women for hookups, dates, casual sex, or even serious relationships, you might end up bumping into them again. Some of these girls might be the girl next door, or a co-worker, nurse, doctor, or anything in your area. You could easily run into past and present casual sex partners, hookups, fuck buddies and friends with benefits in public. Remember to be discrete and respectful.

4. Be discrete! This is very important! When you are online using a casual or adult dating service, discretion is very important. Chances are, you don't want everyone to know you are cheating on your wife, and most girls don't want half the town knowing she has a profile on an adult or casual dating site.

How do I pick up women on adult dating sites?

This may be a bit of a tough subject since there are a lot of people out there who seem to think that adult dating websites are fake or that they are used to promote prostitution/escort services, but adult dating websites are actually a really good place to meet lots and lots of women
The truth is that you can play around for months and years and spend hundreds on adult dating websites without any success if you do not know what you are doing, and this is why we are here to help!

There are four main steps that you can use to help you hook up with more women:

STEP 1: SIGN UP FOR THE FREE TRIALS

First you need to get accounts with the best adult dating sites and use their free trials to snoop around the sites. Try to avoid paying anything upfront because you want to see if the girls are hot and if the accounts seem realistic. You also want to look for sites where the ratio of men to women is good. There is no point in signing up to a site which has many guys and very few women since your chances of success on such an adult dating site are much, much slimmer.
Try to take some notes on which site you liked best based on the following (at minimum):

* How many women are registered on the site and do they look like real account?
* What is the ratio of women to men?
* How easy to use is the site that you are on?
* What profile elements are you able to see? (For example, what can you see about the girls? Are they able to provite photos/videos? Is there a messaging limit? etc.)

STEP 2: SETUP AN INTERESTING PROFILE

After you have selected the site or sites that you want to try meeting women on, you need to make sure to properly set up your profile. This is where a lot of people can make or break their online dating success. For example, some people will put a bunch of nonsense and garbage in their profile info or they will use old, outdated, and poor quality photos. Other people will write up profiles talking about love and romance. You have to remember that most women on these sites are also looking for casual or NSA sex and you're only going to scare them away by talking about love and romance.
There are the elements of your profile that you need to pay extra attention to:

* Your profile pictures - You need to make sure that your profile pictures are always up to date. Try to make sure that your photos are no more than 1-2 months old, and try to make sure that your photo clearly shows your face and body from the waist up. This does not mean to upload "sexy" half nude or nude photos. You should test and rotate our your photos to see which ones get more women's attention.
* Additional Photos - Always try to include a variety of normal pictures, such is pictures of you hanging out with friends or playing a sport, going to the pool, etc. AVOID posting any nude pictures!! Even on adult dating sites, this is a bad idea. Women like what they don't see almost as much as they like what they see. This means that they will be thinking more about whats in your pants if you don't post it as a profile picture. You always want to leave something to the imagination.
* Videos - Some of these sites will allow you to post short videos. If they do, consider putting up a short video if you talking into a webcam. All you need to do is say that you are looking to meet a normal girl who is looking to have some fun. You never want to say anything too freaky in these videos.
* About You - Try to be as truthful as possible. You may also want to try and be playful and/or bashful but the point here is that you need to be yourself. Most women are looking for a normal guy to have sex with, and not marriage or someone who is potentially creepy, so you want to be careful what you say. * Sexual interests – Write about what you are looking for in a girl, but remember that you want to turn them on and excite their curiosity and not scare them away. Try to imagine romance novels when writing this part...not hardcore porno.

Just like you want to avoid profiles that look really fake, women want to do the same. The more real and normal you seem on your profile, the more women will respond to your message, or will even message you!

STEP 3: START MESSAGING GIRLS

Once you are happy with how your profile looks, you are ready to start contacting and messaging women. Here are some important rules to consider:

* You want to make them WANT to read your message!
Pay a lot of attention to the subject line, because that is the first thing they will see. If they don't like the subject they will just delete the message. The subject line needs to do one of three things:
* Make them laugh or giggle
* Make them curious about what you have to offer
* Be compelling

For example:
BAD - "Hey nice tits babe!"
GOOD - "WARNING: Cute Guy Alert - Wanna meet-up sometime?"

As you can see, on of these will definitely not work, while the other one is kinda silly, and rouses curiousity...

STEP 4 - KEEP TRACK OF GIRLS / MEET-UPS

As odd as it sounds, you should try and keep track of who you have contacted, as well as some information about them and information on if and when you have actually met them.
The best way to do this is to keep some sort of spreadsheet of all of the girls with some info (as odd as this sounds, it is important):

In the sheet you want to have at least the following:
* Name – The full name of the girl you messaged
* Date – The date and time you contacted her
* Replied – Has she replied to your message?
* Phone Number – If you have her number, keep it here. You don't want to have 100 phone numbers from girls on adult dating sites in your phone...
* Hooked up – Did you manage to meet with her and/or hook up? Is there potential to keep hooking up?
* Notes – What are some of the things you have talked about? What are her interests? This one is IMPORTANT! You don't want to get your girls confused...

Additional Tips and Advice:

SITES TO AVOID!

There are some sites that you simply want to avoid. For example:

Craigslist - The fact that CL is free is a bad sign. It's also dangerous to use for online dating, especially casual sex. Free sites - It may sound odd, but you want to AVOID THE FREE DATING SITES! The reason you pay for adult dating sites is because that weeds out a lot of the bad, and it also helps pay for admins/moderators who audit and remove fake profiles etc. Just look at it this way...how many people will want to pay hundreds of dollars to maintain a fake profile? Social Media sites like Facebook - If you don't believe this one...just watch "Catfish." Facebook is full of fake/stolen profiles. Again, you do not want to take chances on free sites or sites not intended for adult dating.

TELLING WHETHER AN ACCOUNT IS FAKE

There are a few things you can do to tell if an account is fake. This will help save you time and will also help you avoid scammers and escort services posing as dating sites. Remember, though, that the top paid sites get screened constantly by support teams to prevent fake accounts, so they are very few and far between (again..this is why you are investing in a paid dating site to begin with!).
Here are some tips to figuring out profiles:

* Do they show their face? If they don’t show their face there is a high chance that they are escort who do not want to be identified.
* Are all of their photos sexual? Just like you added some normal photos you would expect them to as well. It's harder to fake a profile with an abundance of different pictures.
* Is she wearing the exact same clothes in all of the photos? If it looks like a photo shoot, then it is probably a fake account...
* Is their English REALLY bad? Having bad english isn't necessarily a bad thing but you need to be careful because you could be talking to a man in Nigeria...
* Did they contact you with a very forward message? If they are messaging you and they are being very direct, impatient to meet up, and forward, you can probably assume that the account is fake. Remember that even though these women on the sites are also looking for casual sex, they are still going to be reserved because they are probably getting a lot of messages from a lot of men. If they sound desperate, then something is wrong...
* Do they not own a phone or camera? It's the 21st century...pretty much everyone has a camera phone. If they don't that's because they either can't talk to you because they are not who they say they are.

What are some tips for better no strings sex?

No string sex is one of the best things that can happen to you. You get to have sex with local women without all of the burdens of a real relationship, like remembering birthdays or anniversaries. All you have to do is remember where to meet and fuck. Here are some tips on making no string sex even more fun:

1. Always remind yourself that this is no strings sex. Remember to remind your partner as well. Both of you are just looking for some sex, and not some attachment. Remember to be clear with your intentions as well. Also, it may be perfectly fine to be friends with your casual fuck buddy, but remember to draw the line there.

2. Your fuck buddy is not your wife or your girlfriend, and she probably isn't the first person you should run to when you need to talk. When you are in a no string sexual relationship remember to make it all about sex and not all about you. Nobody wants to listen to you about your ex-wife or your problems at home. Like you, she is there for sex, so make sure to keep it that way.

3. No strings attached sex is the best way to live out a fantasy and to try new things in bed. Always remember, however, to be respectful of her wants. Remember to try everything. If you both want a threesome, why not? If she wants you to tie her to the bed, go for it. Make the most of your time to experiment and make the most out of sex, but don't cross the line.

4. Don't get stuck with just one girl, try out a few. The best way to have fun casual sex is to rotate sexual partners frequently. This will keep your levels on confidence high, and will make it easier for you to remain discrete and avoid attachment. Who knows, you might even be able to get all the girls to fuck you at the same time :).

What are 5 Greatest Perks of Casual Sex?

Casual sex, when practiced responsibly and ethically, offers certain benefits for some individuals. Here are 5 potential perks:

Physical Pleasure: This is perhaps the most immediate benefit. Casual sex can be a source of physical enjoyment and sexual release.

Exploration and Experimentation: It allows individuals to explore their sexuality, try new things, and discover what they enjoy without the commitment of a relationship.

No Strings Attached: Casual sex offers freedom from the expectations and emotional investment of a traditional relationship. This can be particularly appealing for those who are not ready or interested in commitment.

Confidence Boost: For some, engaging in casual sex can boost self-esteem and provide validation.

Convenience: Casual sex can be convenient and efficient. It fulfills sexual needs without the demands of a relationship, which can be beneficial for those with busy lifestyles.

Important Considerations:

Consent and Communication: Enthusiastic consent is crucial in any sexual encounter, including casual ones. Open and honest communication about expectations, boundaries, and sexual health is essential.

Emotional Health: It's important to be honest with yourself about your emotional needs and whether casual sex aligns with them.

Sexual Health: Practice safe sex to protect yourself and your partners from sexually transmitted infections. Regular testing is crucial.

Respect: Treat your partners with respect and consideration, even if the encounter is casual.

Disclaimer: The benefits of casual sex can vary greatly depending on the individual and the specific circumstances. It's essential to prioritize your physical and emotional well-being and make responsible choices that align with your values and needs.

Why should I try looking for sex on adult dating sites?

Casual adult dating can be a great thing! It allows you to meet up and hook up with sexy local women who are looking for all sorts of fun. Also, it gives you all of the benefits of dating, such as sex, without you having to give up the fun and excitement of being single and lets you try things you can't always get from your wife. For example, maybe your wife does not like to give you blowjobs. Chances are you are going to have no trouble meeting a local sweethears that will be willing to suck you all night long, right? Or, maybe you've always wanted to tie a girl up to the bed and fuck her. Again, there is probably going to be a local girl online who is looking for just that.

How has the internet changed how we find casual sex partners?

The internet has drastically changed how we connect, and that includes how people find casual sex partners. Here's why the internet reigns supreme in this arena:

Unprecedented Access: Forget limited bar scenes or awkward social circles. Online platforms offer a vast pool of people explicitly seeking casual encounters, eliminating the guesswork.

Targeted Searches: Dating apps and websites allow users to filter by specific desires, interests, and preferences, increasing the chances of finding compatible partners.

Anonymity and Discretion: The internet provides a level of anonymity for those who prefer discretion when exploring casual relationships.

Breaking Down Geographical Barriers: Location is no longer a limiting factor. Whether you're at home or traveling, connecting with potential partners is just a click away.

Convenience and Efficiency: No more wasted time and effort. With online platforms, you can connect with people seeking the same thing from the comfort of your home, any time of day.

Essential Considerations:

Safety First: Always prioritize your safety. Meet in public places, let a friend know your plans, and be mindful of sharing personal information. Honesty and Communication: Be upfront about your intentions and desires to ensure everyone is on the same page. Sexual Health: Practice safe sex and get tested regularly.

Respect: Treat all partners with respect and consideration, even in casual encounters. The internet has undoubtedly revolutionized how people find casual sex, offering unmatched convenience, access, and efficiency. However, it's crucial to engage responsibly and prioritize your safety and well-being.
