Listen, not everyone is looking for the traditional releationship. If you've been rejected by eHarmony, or are looking for something more than the "long walks on the beach" and "romantic candlelit dinners" the girls on Match.com want, that's perfectly ok. (I'm not judging.) Fortunately for you, there are some places online where the term "dating" has a broader meaning. And strays far from the conventional.
Places where you can find that special someone to, say, tie you down to the bed and smack you with a ceiling fan blade. While dressed as Marge Simpson. Places where you can create a virtual version of yourself to have virtual sex with an endless number of virtual women.
So, if your tastes tend to lean toward something a little different, here are five places you may want to surf over to. Purely for informational purposes.
Utherverse.com /
RedLightCenter.com
Think of Utherverse.com as the result of a bunch of swingers taking over MySpace. You can search "friends" by sexual orientation, gender (which runs more than just male and female here), age and location. And popularity and sexiness too. Members can set up personal pages (a la MySpace), with likes, dislikes, turn ons, photos (worth a look), and what they are looking for. In explicit terms. You can also collect friends and send messages and comments.
RedLightCenter is their sister site where you can create an avatar and experience a world of fantasies you'd find in Amsterdam’s Red Light District - without the legal repercussions. There's virtual nightclubs, hotels, bars, movie theaters and stores. Where you can have a lot of virtual sex.
Both are free, with paid upgrades.
AshleyMadison.com
If you watch daytime talk shows, you may have heard of this highly controversial site. It's controversial because it's a site where married people can discretely meet other married people. To have sex with. Discretely. Not so discretely, their marketing tag line is "Life Is Short... Have an Affair."
I know, you're shocked and horrified. But the really shocking thing is the site boasts over 1.7 million members. That's a lot of bored housewives.
AshleyMad is free to join and search. Not surprisingly, most pics are "private only", until you are sent a "key", if someone is interested enough in you. And you'll have to buy "credits" to be able to contact other members.
LoveVoodoo.com
LoveVoodoo is a dating site by swingers for swingers. You'll find people into a wide variety of "preferences" here, looking for mostly short term casual relationships. You can search by just about anything, and small "voodoo doll" icons in the person's profile, let you know at a glance their sex and sexual preferences.
There's video, voice and text chat, a blog area, and local LoveVoodoo events they throw around the country, so you can meet other members in person. And of course have sex with them.
AdultFriendFinder.com
The granddaddy of them all, AFF was possibly the first, and is now the largest, place to find freaky friends online. With millions of members and over 100,000 people online at any given time, by sheer numbers alone you're likely to find exactly what you're looking for here.
Joining is free.
CraigsList.com
I know, I know. CL is the place to list old couches for sale and to find a job at a local newspaper. But there's also a huge community of people who use it for dating. And "alternative" dating. Check out the women looking for "misc romance" and "casual encounters" in your local area. Once you dig through the obvious porn ads disguised as personals.
Free as always.
