Overview
SexFinder.com(SexFinder) is self-explanatory. It doesn’t get any easier than this. You shouldn’t have a problem finding a fling, hooking up, chatting, meeting swingers, housewives, and married mature wives. With over 30 million members, I see sex in your future.
I have to say that having a naked woman on the main page screams porn site. With that being said, I wanted to see more pictures of the naked gal. I filled in my basic information like my email, race, and sexual orientation as quickly as I could type. After that they sent me an email and I was on my way to getting some action. Like anything else that is worth having or achieving you have to put some elbow grease into it.
Membership Information
SexFinder.com immediately hit me w/ the membership cost information as soon as I activated my account. I wanted to close the page but the “You Will Get Laid” guarantee caught my eye. They guarantee that you will get laid within three months if you follow their “simple” rules. I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be simple. The first couple of steps were simple. All you had to do was maintain a gold membership for 3 months, log in at least once a month, send at least 3 emails a month, and create one blog or group post each month. There is a catch 22 though. If you don’t get laid, then you are supposed to tell customer service you didn’t get laid. I see a lot of men reluctant to tell anyone that they were successful at getting laid because they will most likely get labeled a loser. It’s such an ingenious plan. In the event you do tell them that you didn’t get laid, then you get another 3 months for free. Keep in mind that’s it’s a one-time deal.
| Type of Membership | Duration | Cost of Membership |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | 1 months | $29.95/month |
| Gold | 3 months | $14.95/month |
| Gold | 12 months | $4.95/month |
In addition to the membership cost, there are other add-on features such as sending messages, friend request, viewing your profile, highlighting your profile, and adult movies on demand. Below is a table of the cost of the add-on features.
| Standard Contact (Messaging First, Friend Request, View Profile) | |
|---|---|
| 1 month | $19.95/month |
| 3 months | $11.97/month |
| 12 months | $8.95/month |
| Highlight Your Profile | |
|---|---|
| 1 month | $9.95/month |
| 3 months | $8.95/month |
| Adult Movies on Demand | |
|---|---|
| 1 month | $18.95/month |
| 3 months | $12.95/month |
| 12 months | $9.95/month |
As you can see adding all those features can get expensive. Too bad they don’t have a bundle plan like Comcast‘s triple play. I think more people would be willing to take on other features if they know that they are getting a deal. Committing to 12 months may be the best route to go. Just remember to cancel your membership when you are done with the site or else you will be facing some unwanted charges.
Payment Options
There are four types of payment methods: credit card, money order, electronic check, and credit card by mail or fax. I think your best bet is to pay through credit card. This way you can report any fraudulent charges in the event that someone gets a hold of your information.
Naturally you are probably wondering what all this membership buys you. The table below list what types of features you get as a standard and gold member.
| Features | Standard Membershp | Gold Membership |
|---|---|---|
| Chat on IM & Chatrooms | Yes | Yes |
| Hotlist Others | Yes | Yes |

It’s a good idea to upgrade to Gold Membership or else you are basically wasting your time. Then again if you are the guy at the strip club that sits in the back and never tips the stripper, then this would be right down your alley. There is another option that you can adopt if you don’t want to upgrade and pay.
Member Points
Every time you log into SexFinder, you are allotted 25 points. This sounds great initially until they tell you that it’s only 25 points a day. Plus, to get anything that is worth getting for free requires a lot of patience. You can accumulate more points by referrals, group post, and other miscellaneous ways. If a friend registers, you get 100 points. You get additional 1900 points if they upgrade too. When you create a group post you get 30 points (300 point max). Commenting on a group post will get you 10 points (300 point max). Posting a comment anywhere will gain you 2 points (1000 points max). Reading emails with flowers will earn you with 25 points. Below is a list of things you do with your accumulation of points.

Technically you can go free for a little while until you reach the maximum points allowed, but why waste your time. I say just pay up and you won’t have to play these games because in the end the bottom line is they want you to upgrade and enjoy all the features they have.
SexFinder Features
To your benefit, SexFinder has a slew of features. Don’t be surprised if you are overwhelmed when you log in. Once you get past the upgrade page, they drop you on the home page where you get to see who’s online, new matches, members near you, and VIPs. I enjoyed this feature immensely. It was a fantastic way for me to save time and focus on the members that I could impact on right away. It was only a matter of time before they threw me a curve ball. When you are searching for members, you are not allowed to filter by race, body type, sexual orientation, and marital status. You have to upgrade to access those features. What a bummer! I got frustrated and decided to just click on the next hot model’s profile I saw. I chose sexzazngirl’s profile. Again, you had to upgrade. No surprise there. What did surprise me was that they added a new offer where you pay $2.95 for 30 days to view that particular member’s profile. At first glance it seems like a great offer because it’s practically free. However after your logic and value conscious mind kicks in; you will feel that you are getting ripped off. Why not just pay $29.95 a month and view all the member profiles. If you search around and click on several member profiles you will eventually get an offer of $19.95 for just the first month. It’s supposed to be for first-time customers only. With great offers like that, I can see why so many people can get easily hooked.
| Cost of Points | |
|---|---|
| 5000 points | $40 |
| 4000 points | $34 |
| 3000 points | $27 |
| 2000 points | $19 |
| 1000 points | $10 |
As you can see becoming a fan may get pricey. There are other things you can do within the SexFinder community without breaking the bank. The majority of my time was spent on the member activity and current contest section.
Becoming a Top Fan
Another thing you can get hooked on the site is by becoming a top Fan of your favorite member. This feature is like becoming a Twitter follower of your favorite celebrity, except it’s with members. You never know, some of these members might be famous. Some of the benefits of being a top Fan is viewing their profile for free (only top 10 Fans can do this), contacting them for free (only #1 Fan can do this), get notifications with a special badge, and appear on their activity and profile page (more visibility). So before you get a massive boner just be aware that becoming a fan will cost you money. It’s based on a points system that you can bid on to become the members’ Fan. The member’s page will list the top 10 Fans along w/ their bids. The top 3 Fans get their profile shown. Obviously you will have to bid more to be in the top 10 Fans for the hot members. Personally I would go with the okay to decent looking women. I think you will get more bang for your buck. With this route you can become a top Fan of more than one member without breaking the bank. Here is a break-down of what it cost for points.
Member Activity Section
In the member’s activity section, there is plethora of pictures and videos that can go on for probably miles. All you have to do is click on the view more button and older postings will appear. The format is similar to Facebook, except SexFinder is more interesting and graphic. In other words someone somewhere is having sex or getting naked and posting it all to see. You can make Comments or Like the pictures and videos. There are so many comments that you can probably pick up new sex lingo or new languages. You just have to copy the comment into Google Translator. Overall, I’ve enjoyed the postings and comments quite a bit, except for the part where I have to manually refresh the page for new postings. Hopefully they will do something about this.
Contest Feature
I also spent a lot of time in the Contest section. Their contest ideas are fun and playful. It definitely got my attention and I’m certain it will get yours. The contest that was going on at the time was called “On/Off”. Essentially members showed side by side pictures of themselves: one picture with some clothes and the other without clothes. I have to say there were some sexy photos. I was glued to this area for a while. I also enjoyed the “Sexy Superheros & Villainous Vixens” contest. Some of the members went all out. That was certainly a treat.
Sex Academy Feature
The Sex Academy also caught my eye. I was curious of what type of courses were offered. I read and watched the video on “Erotic Massage for Couples” because it was free. After you read the material and watch the erotic videos, you then have to take a quiz in order to get certified for that particular class. The content is very detailed and helpful. I enjoyed the pictures and videos immensely, especially since there were naked women. I can see the certification as being a great draw for your next potential sex partner. You can apply some of the new attained knowledge literally all over them.
Hot Members
Another area of interest that piqued my curiosity was the “what’s hot” section. The hottest photos, videos, albums, member, top fans, and adult movies reside here. Not everyone was hot, but “hottest” is subjective. From reviewing the different profiles it seems like the hottest members are the ones that get the most Likes. I spent a lot of time looking around. Fortunately, you are able to search for members by race. I appreciate this because it would be a tremendous waste of time if I have to sift through all the members. As a free member, you have the ability to Like and Comment on their profile page. Unfortunately that would be the extent of your interaction with them. Anything further requires your credit card.
As a result of my Likes and Comments on member profiles, I had received quite a few emails. I was hoping that at least one of them came from one of the Asian members from the “hot” section. To my dismay the emails were from swinger couples wanting to hang out and get to know each other before really getting our feet wet. I’m open to the idea minus the husband or boyfriend. If he is okay with watching, then I might consider testing the waters. I guess I could become a paying member or if I really wanted to meet swingers I could hang out in the groups' area and read some of the postings from local swingers of where to meet. This way I don’t really have to spend any money. If you are okay with just reading a post and not creating your own, then you need not upgrade. Otherwise you will need to upgrade to make your opinion known.
The Bottom Line
After getting a chance to spend some time on here, I felt SexFinder could be my new venture or hobby. If you are one of those that like to spend countless hours on Facebook and or Twitter, then this site is for you. The ambiance is essentially community centric. You have the opportunity to immerse yourself into the different communities and culture. I don’t think you have to even necessarily hook up with anyone if you don’t want to. However, it’s nice to know that there is an insurance policy just in case you don’t get laid in the first three months. In addition, there are so many things to do like partaking in contest, looking up hot members, flirting with people from half a world way, becoming a Fan, broadcasting yourself, and watching adult movies on demand to mention a few. If you commit to the long term, then the cost is almost negligible. Just think of it as buying the cute girl at the bar a drink on a monthly basis. If SexFinder was on Facebook, I would definitely “Like” it.
