Are there any strictly sex only sites that don't pretend to be about serious dating?

Curious what this board thinks about strictly sex only sites that do not pretend to be about serious dating. Anyone comparing strictly sex only should be looking at whether there are enough people to bother after the first week before anything else.

The part that trips me up on strictly sex only is that every source has something to sell. For strictly sex only, whether the free plan is usable or decorative outside the big cities is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

Where I'd start with strictly sex only before committing:

• Test what happens to your visibility after a week of silence twice, a week apart
• Pin down how many matches ever send the first message with notifications switched off
• Verify how quickly a scripted account gives itself away before you commit any time to it
• Time how many matches ever send the first message before you upload a second photo
• Verify whether the same faces cycle back the next day before you commit any time to it

If you have used strictly sex only in the last few months, what actually happened? Recommendations and warnings both help me decide. Short replies settle this better than anything else.

Speaking from four months of it: strictly sex only is fine if you go in with low expectations. You can ignore most of the marketing around strictly sex only and just check what share of matches go nowhere on mobile. datebie.online is the other name that keeps surfacing.

That's how strictly sex only went for me, though clearly it varies by region.

@Riley Campbell that is fair in a big city, but strictly sex only is a different story outside one. The honest test for strictly sex only is whether it is busy at the times you are, not the feature list. Worth a look at over on Datedesire if you want a second data point.

The rough checklist I use for strictly sex only if you're short on time:

• Watch how the feed changes when you narrow the age range in your own city rather than the default radius
• Time whether replies are open before you finish the profile on the first evening, not the first month

If you're evaluating strictly sex only, start with whether the app is usable or bloated on mobile — everything else follows.

That's the honest picture of strictly sex only, anyway.

Speaking from four months of it: I want to like strictly sex only more than I actually do. My rule with strictly sex only: whether the profiles hold up under scrutiny outside the big cities first, everything else second. A friend nudged me toward the datewander.site crowd and it was not a waste.

The rough checklist I use for strictly sex only before committing:

• Compare how quickly a scripted account gives itself away using a fresh account rather than an old one
• Check whether the distance setting is honoured at the hour you would actually be using it
• Compare how many matches ever send the first message at the hour you would actually be using it

Worked for me on strictly sex only and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.

My read: strictly sex only is a decent starting point and a poor destination. The thing that decides it for strictly sex only is what costs money once you are past sign-up. Also looked at datelink.online, roughly the same story.

Where strictly sex only falls down for me is how the discovery feed is ordered day to day.

Worked for me on strictly sex only, and I would be glad to hear others found different.

Honest take: strictly sex only has been mixed for me and I'll explain why. What nobody mentions about strictly sex only is what the day-to-day traffic feels like. For comparison I also spent a week on what Souldate is doing.

That's where I have landed on strictly sex only, may not hold for you.
