Anyone who’s a longtime AdultFriendFinder user will already know the benefits of the site’s “Premium Gold Plan”. But for those who are only just getting started with the long-running hookup site, there’s lots to learn. And just because it regularly prompts users to sign up for the plan, don’t feel obliged to immediately input your credit card details. There are definitely benefits to a paid membership, including features and extras, but it’s best to understand what the Premium Gold Plan actually offers.
Not that you have to, of course. Not everyone wants to fork out for an extra feature. Tight budgets are in place for a reason. We get it. You can still have lots of fun playing around with AdultFriendFinder’s free version. Just know that there are limits to the freebie fun. And there’s a ton of spicy content and quality-of-life stuff when you upgrade.
You can test the waters with a one-month membership for only $35.95. Or you can commit to three months at $26.95 per month. If the trial run goes well, it might be worth committing to a more long-term membership. You can get a one-year membership for just $19.95 per month. It’s worth noting that you will need to manually cancel your Gold account after each membership period ends, otherwise the subscription will automatically renew by default. Don’t make the age-old mistake of only remembering to cancel once you’ve seen the money leave your account.
If you’re intrigued but want to know more before making a commitment, we’ve rounded up three perks exclusive to paid users that will help justify the monthly cost:
Discover vastly expanded chatting options
If you’re relying on a free membership, actual chatting options are limited. You can search for individual members by criteria (Man/Woman/Trans or Couple/Group, for example) and apply very limited filters (Online or Near Me). But you’ll find that when you try to click through the profile photo and find out more about the person who’s caught your fancy, you’ll get an instant prompt to upgrade your account.
Free members are restricted to interacting with others in forums and group chat spaces only, which is all good and fun but also limiting, since there’s no guarantee the people you’re chatting with actually live near you. And while free members can receive regular direct messages from premium users, they will need to upgrade to respond and start a back-and-forth DM convo.
Gold members, of course, get much more. Members can send and respond to private messages as well as enter webcam shows and speak to the host for free. They can also create a Friends list to make regular contact all the more easy. This will also unlock access to AFF’s instant messenger, giving you real-time convos.
Unlock AdultFriendFinder’s even naughtier side
It doesn’t take long to get an eyeful of nudity and NSFW content when you log on. It’s fair to say that the nudity filters are very much turned off. But that’s what AdultFriendFinder is all about. It proudly platforms and encourages sexual content. But free members only get the basics, with tiny thumbnails and low-res cam feeds. With a premium membership, though, you have access to better quality photos, videos, and streams — it all comes to life in stunning (not to mention very spicy) HD when you subscribe.
Additionally, Gold members can view and comment on nude photos and videos that are otherwise restricted for free users. And while free members can watch Gold member webcams, they can only watch one at a time. Gold members can open and enjoy multiple streams at once, though.
Finally, Gold members can access AdultFriendFinder’s Sex Academy, a massive resource for anyone who wants to learn more about sex and sexual health, and discover new techniques to improve their skills between the sheets. Topics range from the basics — 101 skills like how to correctly put on a condom — to more advanced stuff such as oral sex techniques. Everything’s covered in a way that’s easy to follow and — in the case of practical sex skills — easy to replicate in real life.
Refine your search for the perfect match
We know that free members have limited interaction with their searches, and it’s frustrating to discover how limited the basic search function is — especially when you consider how much information users voluntarily provide about themselves.
Once again, it’s little surprise that paid members get a better, slicker experience. The Gold membership unlocks a more refined search that includes not just basics like gender, sexual orientation, and an age and distance range (Straight, Bisexual, Bicurious, Gay, and Prefer Not To Say are all options), but extra categories such as marital status, ethnicity, and body type (Average, Slim/Petite, Athletic, Ample, A Little Extra Padding, and BBW/BBM are the options here).
Paid members can get super specific in AFF’s self-explanatory My Kinks section. They can fill this out to signal exactly what they’re into — there’s no shame or judgment on AFF. The benefits are obvious, with a better chance of attracting like-minded people who share your desires. The list is pretty exhaustive and extremely kink-friendly — something for everyone, you could say.
Paid members can also build up a friends list, helping to track their favorite people and chat partners. That makes it easy to slip back into a steamy conversation or keep up with a particular streamer’s schedule.
If you’re after a naughtier online dating experience, something that prioritizes kinky fun and taboo-busting chats that other sites keep hidden behind innuendo and self-censorship, AdultFriendFinder’s paid membership experience is very much worth exploring.
