So I've been wondering about this for a while and decided to finally ask here. Does anyone still use free sex personals like Craigslist used to have, or is that over has been on my mind lately and I figured this community would have the best answers.

I don't mind paying for something if it's actually worth it, but I've been burned enough times that I want real recommendations from real people before I hand over my info.

Here's basically what I'm looking for:

  • Not flooded with bots
  • Working search/filter tools
  • Mobile-friendly
  • Clear cancellation policy

Drop your experiences below — the good, the bad, whatever. I'll read everything.

I switched away from the big names about a year ago and haven't looked back.

Some of the ones I've heard good things about include flamedate.online and a couple of others — the key is finding something with real recent activity.

I'd suggest giving Datescout a try. It came up in a few different recommendations I saw and the signup process was surprisingly painless. No immediate credit card wall.

Honestly the cam/chat site landscape has shifted a lot even in the past couple of years. Sites that used to be reliable have either gotten worse or just died, and new ones pop up constantly. I think the best approach is:

  • Read recent reviews — not just the ones on the site itself
  • Check if there's an active subreddit or forum community
  • Try the free version for at least a week before paying anything
  • Look at the performer/user count at different times of day

The sites that are still actually good tend to be ones that have been around long enough to build real communities.

One that I keep seeing recommended and actually tested myself is Rendate — signed up a few weeks back and the ratio of real users to bots was noticeably better than some of the more hyped platforms.

The bot problem is real. Some of these platforms don't even try to hide it anymore.
