Internet dating is more popular that ever, and Sex Search brings together people looking for a little adult fun and adventure. The site is geared more toward those people looking for no-strings sex rather than long-term relationships. You can create several different profiles under one account to target the different types of people that you are looking for. For instance, if you are a bi man and want to meet both men and women, you can create two seperate profiles, each tailored to the type of person of each sex that you'd like to meet.
There's no doubt that uploading a photo gets you more attention than not having one. I spent more time looking at people who had photos to accompany their profiles than ones who didn't. A hot profile is nice, but having a picture in your head of what a person looks like is much better. One thing that I didn't like about the photo uploading process was that before I uploaded one, I wanted to search a bit and read a few profiles. Unfortunaltely, I kept getting interrupted by a message to upload my photo and get a free "VIP Gold" membership. While I appreciated the special promotion, I would have preferred to browse a bit more before putting my photo online. Considering that there was no way to bypass this message and get back to browsing profiles, I felt like I was forced to upload a photo. Not cool. After being forced to upload a photo before browsing, I thought my prroblems were over — not so. I was then forced to upload a webcam video of myself before I could continue browsing with no interruptions. AAARGH!
After I jumped through all the hoops required for me to browse the listings, I got down to the business of reading profiles to see who I could meet. My seraches returned hundreds of possible matches, and allowed me to search in every U.S. state as well as internationally. However, I have to admit, some of the profiles looked a little suspect. I recognized one pornstar photo that was used in place of a real photo. That isn't necessarily the fault of the Sex Search staff, real people submit fake photos all the time. Some of the profiles seemed almost too good to be true. One woman wrote, " I really don't have a problem with men cuming on my face..I don't think it's that big of a deal". All I can say is "wow". That seems a little over the top, but one can only hope that this site really is the playground of such horny sex fiends and not just clever ringers.

Gold members can do advanced searches
Gold members can upload photos and videos

A gold level membership gets you access to the "Gold Room". In this area of the site, you will find hardcore videos, live webcam shows, photos, adult games, and more. There were video-on-demand selections from Hustler, and photos in several niches. Most of this content here is included in your gold-level membership, but some of the things in this area require you to spend more money to fully enjoy the benefits. For instance, there are links to live cam rooms, but you have to pay to go one-on-one with a model.
So once my profile was up, did any hotties contact me? Well, I got a few people who "showed interest" in me and a couple of e-mails from people who wanted to cyber. I'm, sure my hands will be sore from all the one-handed typing I'll be doing in the next couple of days. No real-time hookups yet, but you never know where all that steamy cybersex might lead.

[v]Conclusion(3.7)
Overall, I was pretty happy with my experience at this site. It doesn't take long to start sending messages and hooking up with people. The member's are very sexually open, and you can find someone to satisfy any kink you have. I wasn't very impressed with the "Gold Room". The content you find here is no different from the plug-in content that you can find on any other porn site. I was much more interested in the profiles and the opportunity to meet real people in my area.
