What are the best adult sites for free that don't ask for your credit card upfront?

Jumping in here because this has been on my mind for a bit. What are the best adult sites for free that don't ask for your credit card upfront? Would love to hear from people who've actually tried things out. I've seen a lot of different recommendations floating around online but it's hard to know which ones are legit and which are just paid placements.

Thanks in advance.

Good thread. I was wondering about this exact thing.

Wish I had this info when I first started out. Learned most of it the hard way. Datedesire is worth trying if you haven't already.

So I've been doing this for a while and here's what I've found: The key thing most people miss is checking whether the platform even has users in your area before you subscribe. Big city vs rural makes a massive difference. Some things that actually helped me:

• Used a Google Voice number for initial contact
• Always set a first meeting in a coffee shop or busy public spot
• Avoided any platform that didn't have a clear privacy policy
• Verified the profile before investing too much time
• Read reviews on Reddit before paying for any platform

This is something I spent a lot of time researching, so let me break it down: Scam red flags: photos that look too professional, no response history, immediate requests to move to a third-party app, and obviously fake profiles. Also seen people mention souldate.site in similar threads — haven't tested it myself but it keeps coming up.

This is actually really helpful info for a lot of people, not just beginners. Personally I've been using Datescout for a while and it's held up better than most.
