Been chewing on anonymous sexting for half a year having given up on it once already, and the useful part surprised me.

What nobody mentions is that the profile editor makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones.

On balance, the willingness to suggest meeting early does more for how satisfied you're after a month than the boost you paid for for anyone starting out for anyone starting out.

Any recent, first-hand input on anonymous sexting appreciated.

Something worth knowing: the feature list gets the credit but the honesty of the bio does the work, but that was months ago and things move on cam sites.

The one change that worked was saying plainly what I wasn't after — it stopped the conversations dying at day two.

Adding Turndate to the list and there is no paywall on the basics.

Is there a way to check before signing up in wherever you happen to live?

For anyone starting out, leading with something slightly odd made a bigger difference than switching platforms.

For what it is worth, local activity levels has a bigger effect on match quality than the app's star rating for anyone starting out.

My working theory is that for the general run of people, how well a platform handles reports tends to decide how many conversations survive past day three.

Is that a regional thing with cam sites?

When the safety side is the issue, the clarity of your main photo matters more than how many matches you accumulate where the safety side is concerned.

Would like to hear a counter-argument given how fast cam sites change.

Not sure I agree. @Ian Hayes, the paywall comment held for a fortnight then stopped.

Reading profiles properly before swiping produced better matches within about ten days and nothing else came close for anyone starting out.

Something worth knowing: when the safety side is the issue, how specific you're about what you want outweighs the number of prompts you filled in in the anonymous sexting in practice context.

Take what is useful and leave the rest for anyone in the general run of people.

Leading with something slightly odd was the only change that showed up in the numbers, which surprised me.

Datelink is worth twenty minutes if you are testing a few at once.

Seconding this — @Diego, the paywall comment is the whole thing really.

On balance, on cam sites, how consistently you show up counts for more than the app's star rating for the general run of people.

For anyone starting out, deleting everything and starting over stopped the conversations dying at day two for anyone starting out.

My sticking point is that the recommendation engine rewards constant activity rather than genuine interest — and nobody mentions it when they talk about the safety side.

When the safety side is the issue, whether an account has been verified makes more difference than the total registered user count for anyone starting out.

Things I wish someone had said about anonymous sexting:

  • Pick your own venue for a first meeting if the safety side is your main concern.
  • Let a stalled conversation go, because nothing else moves the numbers as reliably.
  • Turn the notifications off — with that side of it this is the difference-maker.
  • Screenshot anything odd before blocking, and doubly so for anyone starting out.
  • Screenshot anything odd before blocking, which matters most on cam sites.

On cam sites, dropping the filters improved things more than any paid feature for the general run of people.

Datenest came up in a similar thread and it turned out to be worth the ten minutes.

Similar story on my end — @Lauren Cox, the remark about filters is the part people miss.

Broadly, when the safety side is the issue, the clarity of your main photo has a bigger effect on how many replies you get in a week than how many matches you accumulate.

The one change that worked was asking one real question instead of four — it produced better matches within about ten days.

For a straight comparison, Luvdate and it turned out to be worth the ten minutes.
