Eroticy is a unique personals site that combines sex/swinger personals and escort services with hardcore pornography. This way, if you can’t find a playmate, at least you can play with yourself. According to our friend Sir Rodney, best known as “the Roger Ebert of porn,” the porn is just okay, but there is also a vibrant, open community here.
Users can use the personals AND the porn in a three-day free, no-credit-card trial. People can join as a female, a male, or a (presumably heterosexual) couple. If transgendered, you can identify yourself as such under "orientation." (Okay, a bit clueless on the site's part, but they're trying.) You choose what sex of partner you're looking for, and you can choose more than one.
The site’s a bit confusing to use at first, because there is so much here: pro and amateur still sets (many submitted by members), animation, horoscopes, advice, chat, message boards, web directories, club and escort listings. However, after a couple of visits, I got used to the navigation scheme. It feels quite intuitive now. Customer service is a strong point, and was rated very highly by all the users we talked to.
In a recent article in Maxim, Denise Franklin, a writer whose work has been published in Newsweek, Time, RollingStone, Playboy, Cosmopolitan, Men’s Journal, and several other major print publications, described the site “the early adopter of the ‘Sexual Discovery Killer App.’ In other words, Eroticy is to learning about your sexuality as eBay is to Auctions, Amazon is to Shopping, and Friendster is to Social Networking.”
The site has legions of fans. Meghan describes it as “one of the most addictive sites since eBay.” Katie says she’s been using the site “for years. This site has everything anyone can ask for and then more. It is more than an adult site, more than porn, more than personals; it is my reference for everything that has to do with sex.” Brenda says, “My husband and I have learned so much about our sexual interests and have uncovered so many new and exciting experiences. We continue to use Eroticy to explore what we're into and I wish I were comfortable enough to tell more of my friends about it.”
Men appear to be highly satisfied as well. Crazy Eddie told me, “I have gone to several incredible sex parties, and last week I had the erotic experience of my life with someone I met here. Can't say enough good things about this site, plus there is lots of jack-off material included for those sorry times when I've got to do it by myself.” However, several men did tell me that they were unable to hook up on the site, and were as disparaging as Eroticy’s many advocates are positive.
