The Good

Recommends matches for you based on an algorithm • Let’s you know who has been looking at your profile

The Bad

Expensive • Personality test has a few flaws

The Bottom Line

For those who consider themselves ‘elite’ and are looking for a serious, long-term relationship with someone from the same ilk.

1. Elite Singles

For those who consider themselves ‘elite’ and are looking for a serious, long-term relationship with someone from the same ilk.

The theme of Elite Singles is pretty self-explanatory, with the target demographic being successful, educated professionals (82% of members hold a degree), who boast deep pockets and are searching for a serious, long-term relationship with someone of the same ilk. Although you can sign up via the Elite Singles mobile app, we recommend that you sign up through a desktop to get more of a personalised experience, such as pop-ups explaining how best to use the site and tips on how to start a conversation with your matches. You’re also able to see your full personality profile on a desktop, a feature that is lacking in the app.

9 of the best vibrators: The good, the great, and the orgasmic

TwitterFacebook

They say sex sells itself, but vibrators? Not so much. In fact, shopping around for the just-right “personal massager” can be intimidating as hell. It’s definitely not a task to take lightly — after all, you’re buying something that’ll go inside, around, and on top of all your most intimate nooks and crannies. You want to make sure it’ll get you off, obviously, but you also want to make sure it’s a high quality product that’s easy to clean.

As with any other sex toys, you need to do some homework before plunking down your credit card for the vibe of your dreams. Step one, of course, is deciding what kind of vibrator you prefer: Do you want a rabbit vibrator, classic vibrator, or bullet vibrator? Are wand vibrators up your alley, or do you prefer a device geared toward G-spot stimulation? How much do you care about vibration speeds and patterns? Are couples vibrators in the mix? How about a clitoral vibrator that imitates oral sex? Are you OK with a battery-operated vibrator, or do you want one that comes with a remote control?  Read more…

Danish photographer Andreas Hvid did exactly that, which instantly pissed off a lot of people and caused Egyptian officials to launch an investigation. He doesn’t plan to travel to Egypt again anytime soon. Check out our video to see the controversial image. Read more…

AdultFriendFinder review: A kinky hookup site for open-minded people

TwitterFacebook

Everyone knows making friends as an adult is just as nerve-wracking as it was in schoolAdultFriendFinder sounds like it should be the solution — but is it?

Moving to a new city or working at a new job where you don’t know anybody can seriously be depressing. What are you supposed to do?

Dick appointment makeup tutorials are the only good beauty guru niche left

TwitterFacebook

Dick appointment makeup tutorials are the only good thing left from beauty YouTube.

As cuffing season picks up, people are bound to schedule a quick dick appointment. But how do you make sure your makeup stays flawless through the hook up, and be reminded to have safe, consensual sex? Beauty guru YouTube is here for you. 

The term “dick appointment” is self-explanatory; Urban Dictionary defines it as “to set up an appointment to have sex with a man.” A second entry clarifies that “no feelings are involved” in the interaction. Unlike a drunk one night stand you bring home from a party or a late night “u up?” text, a dick appointment is often premeditated — which gives the appointee some time to actually prepare for it.  Read more…
