Adult dating sites are always contentious. Some people refuse to use them, some people use them exclusively. They cause debate on morality and a range of other issues. As you’d be aware of by now though, at Dating Down Under, we aren’t really interested in these types of opinions. We are open minded enough to know that people like these sites, so they obviously provide a valuable service somewhere. So we’d rather take the position of advising you of some of the pros, cons, dangers and rewards this category of dating site exposes you to, so you can be better prepared if you decide adult dating is for you.
As such, we have put together a page on our website to review adult dating sites. We only put up sites on this page, which we have vetted and believe offer a high value service. There are many sites out there which we have reviewed and found lacking. These substandard sites are fraught with dangers, some of which we list below, putting you and your finances at risk.

Dangers Of Adult Dating Sites
There are many dangers with adult dating sites. The dangers these sites pose to men tend to be different to women, so we have split these up and summarised them below:
Adult Dating Sites – Dangers To Women Typically the dangers a woman faces from these sites are dangers to her “person”. These sites tend primarily to emphasise open sexuality in dating, and therefore there is an expectation that a date will quickly escalate into a sexual encounter. Obviously problems can quickly arise where the expectations of a date differ between the participants.
So the best advice we can give to women is to not put yourself in a position of physical vulnerability, until you are completely sure that is where you want to be with a person. Make sure your first date is in a public place, if for no other reason than to ensure the person matches the photo and the other details on the dating site.
And only escalate when you feel safe and comfortable with your partner.
This is pretty sound advice to anyone who is dating. But due to the sexual expectations surrounding adult dating sites, it is especially important here.

Adult Dating Sites – Dangers To Men The biggest threats to men on these sites, are not dangers to their person, rather dangers to their wallet. Adult dating sites are packed with scammers, and unfortunately, most (but not all) of them are pretty women. Exactly the type of women you expected to meet on the site.
Some Adult Dating scams: 1900 phone number scams. You can be contacted by someone who wants you to call them on a 1900 number. These phone calls cost you a packet, the scammer actually profits from the phone call. They will never meet you, all they want is for you to call so they make some money.
Scammers who want you to come to their site/see their pics/see their webcam. Its the same deal. These girls want your money, not to meet you. Their websites will always be pay per view or pay to signup, so you pay, and they get paid.
Scammers who are looking for a way out of their country. Yes, these scammers can be pretty persuasive, but if you are looking for an international introduction, an adult dating site is not the right place to be. Go to a profession internation introductions site, where the professionals who run it will protect you to some degree from being scammed.
The best advice men can take on board when facing these dangers is simply to remember why you came to the site. You came to meet like minded people to form a hot and steamy relationship with. You didn’t join these sites to give your hard earned cash up to people you’ll never meet.
