What are some good sex sites that aren't mainstream?

Wanted to open a thread on some good sex sites that aren't mainstream because the coverage elsewhere is shallow.

Everything hinges on the honest ranking as far as I'm concerned.

If your experience with sex sites contradicts mine, say so.

The thing that shifted sex sites for me was slowing down before replying.

Either way, sex sites is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.

What helped with sex sites was cutting the number of conversations and lengthening them.

If it helps, here's my process around the honest ranking:

• Notice whether replies on sex sites arrive in bursts — the thirty seconds pays for itself
• Read the profile on sex sites properly before sending anything — the thirty seconds pays for itself
• Write openers for sex sites that reference one specific detail, never a greeting alone

Datenest gets recommended organically rather than pushed, which usually means something for sex sites.

Courtney has this right about sex sites —worth separating two things here — sex sites and what people expect from it.

On the honest ranking specifically, Datedesire handled it better than the obvious names.

I read Courtney's reply on sex sites differently.practically speaking, blaming sex sites misses what's actually going on.

In practice, opinion on sex sites swings further than the reality does.

I would put Datelink on the list if the honest ranking is what is bothering you.

Picking up Ashley's point on sex sites:i kept notes for a month with sex sites: meaningfully different once the novelty wore off.

Cole has this right about sex sites —this is right about sex sites, and it's under-discussed.

I tried it myself, and what stood out about sex sites was how quickly the pattern set in.

Either way, sex sites is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.

Short version of what worked for sex sites:

• Log what actually happens on sex sites for a week — it is the cheapest filter available
• Check when accounts on sex sites were last active before investing in them
• Set a hard daily limit on sex sites — it is the cheapest filter available

It is narrower than that: sex sites can fail in one specific way rather than generally.

Careful with the consensus forming here about sex sites.

Partly agree — sex sites can hold up, even so not for the reason stated.

My notes on sex sites this year say the opposite of the popular take.
