Foxy Temptation Review
Overview of Foxy Temptation
FoxyTemptation.com is a good online dating site if you are looking for a fast hookup, dirty chat, local date, or pics. This is generally not a site for those looking to take it slow and find true love. The profiles are pretty easy to sort through because of their search features, many of the pics are XXX, and the mobile site is easy to navigate and use. Free sign-up is fast, and identical to other dating sites. The catch is that viewing all the profiles and seeing all the pics (especially the really hot XXX pics) takes a Premium Membership plan. You can get cheaper memberships if you sign up for more than one month, and I think the one-month option is pricey so if you are going to pay anyway, it’s worth it to just do it all at once.
Features of Foxy Temptations
Home Tab: Access the features you’ll use all the time. If you are new to dating sites and it confuses you, just start here. If you have joined these sites before, the layout is like other sites and easy to navigate from this hub.
- Post Updates– This is like most other social media platforms. Better updates can get you more attention or replies. Check back often to see new hot pics and statuses from people who are online or recently active.
- See Online Members– See who’s active online so you can chat, without having to wait for them to return a message.
- See Notifications– The Icon in the corner shows notifications for new activity.
- Access Settings– Click the arrow next to your name for a quick menu and settings.
Search Tab: Search the site for possible hookups and chat friends by age, location, online status, and photos.
Live Sex Tab: Links you to live webcams for instant online sex. This is a great feature for hookups, but it’s an affiliate link, so a new tab will open.
Sexy Games Tab: This is another link to a partner site for XXX games and interactive sex games.
Rate Photos Tab: View hot member pics and rate them.
Standard & Premium Memberships
There is a standard free membership you get when you sign up. It gives access to the site and profiles. If you want to use the features that make this site fun (chat, hookups, and video), you need to upgrade to a membership. This is a negative feature for sure, but there are very few actually free adult dating sites so it is not a surprise. I do like the payment options – you can use a credit card, debit card or trade in gift cards to other stores. This is a great option for members looking for total privacy. For me, the ability to use another payment method other than a credit card is a huge plus.
Pricing and Features
If you are only looking for a one-month trial, choose the monthly billing option, but if you want to use the site often, the six-month membership is a much better deal. One drawback of the monthly membership is the steep price, but a benefit is a lower upfront cost than the long-term membership plans.
Upgrade Options:
- Monthly Recurring: $29.95 /month (billed monthly)
- 3-Month Membership: $19.98/month (3 months billed at sign-up)
- 6-Month Membership: $16.66/month (6 months billed at sign-up)
Premium Membership Features
- Unlimited messaging with any site member
- Watch and play on live cams
- View all pics and all profiles, even other Premium members
- FREE XXX Videos
- Unlimited site interaction on games and social media features
- Priority listing on the site to make you visible
- Priority support from the help desk
Searching is simple. Put in the location and age range and specify if you want someone with photos or who is Online Now. When you hover over a photo, you have options to like photos or contact that member. If you want to view immediately, click on the View button and it will take you away from the Search Tab to view the full profile. This is nice because I don’t have to leave the search page to save the profiles I want to see later, but I can go straight to an interesting profile at any time. Many of the profiles that are shown in search are premium members, so again, you can’t interact without paying, but that also says that the site must be worth a membership. The picture previews are large and uncensored, so it’s easy to see the other members without having to click on each thumbnail image, so if you are just using the site to look at pics and not join, it’s a decent feature.
Help and Support
It’s easy to access the support and contact the site if you have any issues. If you click on Help at the bottom of the screen, it will take you to a FAQ page that lists common questions and answers. If you can’t find the answer, you can contact the site support just by clicking on the button.
One caution is that using site support requires identity verification to protect your profile. This protects you so that no one can contact them to try and access your profile, but not everyone wants to give their info out to dating sites. So that is something to think about.
Summary
Overall, I enjoyed FoxyTemptation.com, if for no other reason that it is busy. A busy site means lots of messages and chats and pics, which is the reason to join these sites in the first place. If you are looking for a fast XXX hookup be prepared to pay for the service. Again, if you want to interact with anyone and not just browse the members and pics, you must pay. Not all sites are worth a monthly payment, and there are many others I have reviewed that I would never consider paying for again. This is one that might be worth the price, particularly if you choose a longer plan than the one-month option. This site does also have ads and links out to partner sites, and that is a drawback for some because it can look like spam, but the sites are fun too, so if you are up for sex games and live cams, this would be a positive feature.
Casual Hookup Review
Overview of CasualHookup
Casualhookup.com is a decent place to find a fast chat, local hookup, or live sex. The profiles are legit, the pics are XXX, and the mobile platform is easy to use. Free sign-up only takes a few steps, but one drawback is that viewing and interacting with other Premium Members requires you to buy a membership. There are options for cheaper memberships if you sign up for more than one month, but I think the one-month option is pricey. This is great for people who want to use the site for a few months, but if you are looking for a one-time hookup or chat, you would be better off on a different kind of site.
Navigating the Features of CasualHookup
Home Tab: This is the hub where you can access the features you’ll use all the time. If the site overwhelms you, or you can’t remember where your matches, updates, or settings are, start here.
- Post Updates– Update your own status and see when other members have uploaded photos or updated their statuses. This is like most other social media platforms. Better updates can get you more attention or replies.
- See Online Members– See who’s active online so you can message with other members, without having to wait for them to log back in.
- Rate Member Photos– Look through member photos and rate them.
- See Notifications– The Bell Icon in the corner shows notifications when you have important activity.
- Access Settings– Click on the arrow next to your screen name to access a quick menu and settings.
Search Tab: This tab lets you search members by age, location, online status, and whether or not they have photos.
Live Sex Tab: This tab is exactly what it sounds like – it links you to live webcams for instant online sex. This is a great feature for hookups, but the drawback is that it is an affiliate link, so don’t be surprised when a new tab opens.
Sexy Games Tab: This is another link to a partner site, but could be fun for people who like to play XXX games.
Rate Photos Tab: View tons of pics and rate them according to preference.
Standard & Premium Memberships
This site offers a free membership that allows you to see the site and profiles. If you want to use the features that make this site worthwhile, you need to upgrade to a membership. This is a negative feature for some, but they do offer payment and membership options that many other sites don’t have. You can use a credit card or debit card or can trade in gift cards to other stores. This is a great option for members looking for total privacy. For me, the ability to use another payment method other than a credit card is a huge plus.
Pricing and Features
If you are only looking for one month to try the service out, you can choose the monthly billing option, but if you want the most bang for your buck, the six-month membership is a much better deal. One drawback of the monthly membership is the steep price, but a benefit is a lower upfront cost than the long-term membership plans.
When you upgrade, you have three options:
- Monthly Recurring: $29.95 /month (billed monthly)
- 3-Month Membership: $19.98/month (3 months billed at sign-up)
- 6-Month Membership: $16.66/month (6 months billed at sign-up)
Features of Premium Memberships
- Send and receive unlimited messages
- Access to live cams
- Full access to all profiles, including other Premium members
- FREE XXX Videos
- Send unlimited likes to other members
- Priority listing on the site so you get seen by other members
- Priority support
How to Search and View Profiles
Searching is a simple process. You can put in the location and age range you’re looking for and specify if you want someone with photos or who is Online Now. When you hover your cursor over a photo, a “Like Her” or “View” box will show up. If you want to Like the profile to view later, click on the heart icon. If you want to view immediately, click on the View button and it will take you away from the Search Tab to view the profile. I like this feature because I don’t have to leave the search page to save the profiles I want to see later. However, many of the profiles that are shown in search are premium members, so again, you can’t interact without paying. The picture previews are large and uncensored, so it’s easy to see the other members without having to click on each thumbnail image, so if you are just using the site to look at pics and not join, it’s a decent feature.
Help and Support
It’s easy to access the support and contact the site if you have any issues. If you click on Help at the very bottom of the screen, it will take you to a FAQ page that lists common questions and answers. If you can’t find the answer, you can contact the site support just by clicking on the button.
Be aware that if you do contact support for help with your account or site experience, they will ask for information to verify your identity. This protects you so that no one can contact them to try and access your profile, but, understandably, not everyone wants to give their info out to dating sites.
Summary
Casual Hookup is a good site for a fast hookup and for online hookups but be prepared to pay for the service if you want to actually interact with anyone and not just browse the members and pics. Not all sites are worth a monthly payment, but this is one that might be worth the price, particularly if you choose a longer plan than the one-month option. This site does also have ads and links out to partner sites, and that is a drawback for some and a positive feature for others. The ads and links out tend to work and link to fun sites, but for people who hate being taken on a ride to other sites, it can be really frustrating.
Sweet and Casual Review
Overview of Sweet and Casual
SweetandCasual.com is a Casual Dating Site designed around Chat and Video to bring people together to flirt, date, or hook up.
One of my favorite features on this site is the Smart Match. They use your personal info (interests and preferences you provide the site in your profile), search, and dating activity to learn more about what you like. They use this info to show you members you’ll be interested in. This is a new technology some dating sites are using and I think it improves the dating experience. If your searches or interests change, the program changes, too.
My least favorite thing about the site is that it isn’t fully free – even if you buy a membership, you have to upgrade to a VIP membership to get the full benefits and experience. This isn’t a surprise, as dating sites and casual hookup sites are rarely free, but the membership structure is a bit of a headache.
SweetandCasual gives members a lot of ways to communicate, search and play on the site. This is a big deal – I don’t see many dating sites getting both the tech and the social aspects right.
- Home – This is your default landing page. It has the features you’ll use when you’re online. This is where you will see notifications, chat alerts, and access your dash.
- Inbox – Your inbox will show a notification when you have a new message. It will also store past messages. The better membership packages offer longer storage for your chats, and the ability to interact with more people. The VIP membership lets you chat with everyone. I don’t like the different membership levels for communication and permissions. Some of them are confusing, but ultimately, the best deal with most perks is the VIP Upgrade if you want to message people on the site. You can’t use your Inbox if you can’t message anyone…
- New Members – Members who are new to the site.
- Your New Matches – These are matches that SweetandCasual suggests for you based on your preferences, previous searches, and site activity. This is where the Smart Match Tool applies.
- Browse – Look through members by category or view people you’ve interacted with. Choose to see people who are:
- New – Shows new site members.
- Online – Shows members who are Online Now and have not hidden themselves. You can choose to remain Offline if you prefer to browse the site privately.
- Matches – Shows people the site suggests.
- VIP – Shows VIP Members. You can view these members, but can only interact with them if you have Upgraded to a VIP Membership, in addition to Paid Membership. Consider this section a preview to try to get you to Upgrade if you haven’t done so already.
- Admirers – People who have Winked at you or Liked your profile.
- Favorites – Members you have Liked and who have Liked you in return.
- Visitors – Users who have visited your full Profile to learn more about you.
- Blocked – Use the Block feature for any member, for any reason. You may even want to block people you know in real life if you are dating discreetly or already in a relationship. This is a feature I appreciate. While I love online dating, there are definitely people I don’t want to interact with more than once… or ever. If you change your mind, you can Unblock them.
- Profile – See your profile info and edit it as you see fit. The information you give on your profile helps the site find matches for you. Even if you are just using the site to chat with someone or find a hookup, you should fill out your info so your Matches are relevant.
- Chat – Voice Chat or Video Chat with other users. You can only do this if you have paid for a membership, and even then, you can only Chat with VIP Members if you are one. This is where they nail you down because not being able to chat makes the site kind of hard to use for actual dating.
- Inbox – This is where your messages are stored.
- Flirt – This is a feature that suggests a potential flirt for you based on your preferences. The site keeps track of the Top Flirts of the Week.
Memberships
The free membership on SweetandCasual.com gives you access to basic features of the website, like search, browsing, and accepting messages. If you want to enjoy the site, date, or hook up, you need to upgrade to paid. The structure for upgrading on this website is more complicated than some others I have used.
If you plan to get a paid membership to the site, it is best to buy the VIP add-on as well. There are so many features on here that you can’t use if you don’t upgrade, so my suggestion is to either stay free and just browse the site or to upgrade to a full VIP Membership. Otherwise, you are paying for a service and still not getting access to all the best parts.
The six-month plan is the best deal. Adding the VIP to the Gold Plan is still cheaper each month than the monthly recurring plan. It saves a substantial amount to pick the longer plans, but they are also billed on sign-up, so it is a higher upfront cost.
Upgrade Options:
1-month membership at $39.99/month
- Add VIP $14.90/month = $54.89
- Total due at signup = $54.89
3-month membership at $29.99/month
- Add VIP $14.90/month = $44.89
- Total due at signup = $134.67
- Saves $10/month or $30 total
6-month membership at $24.99/month
- Add VIP $14.90/month = $39.89
- Total due at sign-up = $239.34
- Saves $15/month or $90 total
Summary
SweetandCasual.com is a quality dating site – I’d pay for it again (and already have). It isn’t glitchy or full of spam and links out to other sites. It runs like a social media site. They review and validate profiles, have good security, and the site always seems busy.
The winning features of this dating site are the Search Function and the Smart Match. The way they work together makes it easy to find Matches. Casual Dating and Hookup Sites are busy. There are a ton of them online, and it can take forever to sift through profiles on the sites, especially on the sites that are slow, don’t have great features, or take you out to different sites with bait and click or pop-ups every time you try to click on the next page. The Smart Match makes this whole thing easier, which is relieving for someone who spends a lot of time on sites that are a nightmare to navigate, much less enjoy.
My least favorite things about the site are the Membership Structure, as I think it could be simplified, and the lack of a Status Update feature. A lot of the new dating sites have Status Updates, and those lend a community feel to the site. You can get to know other members before sending a private message. I’d love to see them add that in the future.
