Heated Affairs Dating Site Review

Overview

Exchanging wedding vows can be exciting and daunting at the same. On one hand the both of you are starting a beautiful journey together and on the other hand you are stuck with the same person day in and day out. As a result, some couples want to keep their relationships exciting and fresh by exploring casual dating avenues such as HeatedAffairs.com. Discretion and safety is exercised and encouraged among the members. Here you will find spouses looking to flirt, chat, find friendship, hook-up, or have no strings attached fun.

Memberships

Once you fill out your information through a series of guided pages and login in, you are then greeted with the membership cost. What immediately caught my eye was the $2.95 figure. At first glance I thought it was $2.95 per month for all access. However, after further review it was for viewing just one member profile, photos, and videos for the next 30 days. This may sound like a great deal at first until your senses tell you that if you just pay $9.95 per month for the next twelve months then you get access to a butt load more of features and members. In addition you get 6 months free on top of that. That’s a pretty good deal.

• Basic Membership Free
• Trial One Profile Access for 30 Days $2.95
• Gold 1 Month $29.95
• Gold 3 Month $44.85
• Gold 12 Month (+6 months free) $119.40

Premium Membership Add Ons

In addition to the membership cost, there are other add-on features such as sending messages, friend request, viewing your profile, highlighting your profile, and adult movies on demand. As you can see adding all those features can get quite pricey. I think Heated Affairs could benefit from a bundle plan. More people will commit to features if they know they are getting a deal. Your best bet is to subscribe for a whole year. It’s the cheapest way to go especially if you plan on having casual encounters more than just once. Below is a table of the cost of the add-on features. Standard Contact - Standard Members Can Messaging You & View Your Full Profile, Friend Request 1 month $19.95 3 months $35.85 12 months $119.40 Profile Highlighted 3 months $29.85 1 month $9.95 Adult Movies on Demand 1 month $18.95 3 months $25.90 12 months $119.40

Payment Options

There are four types of payment methods: credit card, money order, electronic check, and credit card by mail or fax. If I were you, I would stick to paying with your credit card. It’s probably the safest and easiest way. So what does all this membership buy you? Don’t waste your time. Upgrading to the Gold is the best way to go. If you are reluctant to pay then the good news is that there is another option. It just requires a lot of patience. The table below list what types of features you get as a standard and gold member. Standard Membership Gold Membership Chat on IM & Chatrooms Yes Yes Hotlist Others Yes Yes Like Photos & Videos Yes Yes Join Blogs & Groups Yes Yes Watch Live Member Cams 1 Time Unlimited Times Send Messages No Yes Send Flirts No Yes Send Friend Requests No Yes Read Complete Profiles No Yes Watch Hot Videos No Yes View Full Size Photos No Yes Comment on Photos & Videos No Yes Receive Priority Customer Services No Yes

Earning Points

You are rewarded 25 points every time you log in. Keep in mind that the max points you can get for logging in is 25 points a day. The good news is that you can get more points by referrals, group post, and other miscellaneous ways. Getting a friend to register gets you a whopping 100 points. An additional 1900 points will be rewarded if they upgrade. Creating a group post gets you 30 points (300 point max). Commenting on a group post will get you 10 points (300 point max). Posting a comment anywhere will gain you 2 points (1000 points max). Reading emails with flowers will get you with 25 points. Realistically you can go free for a little while until you reach the max points allowed, but it will really test your patience. If I were you, I would just pay up. Instead of wasting your time trying to muster some free points here and there, why not just pay $9.95 a month. At least then you’ll have a better chance of having an affair. Below is a list of things you can do with all your points.

Features Surprisingly Heated Affairs has a ton of features. I’m certain you will be a tad bit overwhelmed when you log in. Once you get past the upgrade page, they drop you on the home page where you get to see who’s online, new matches, members near you, and VIPs. This is a great feature. It was a great way for me to save time and focus on the members that I could try and get laid with. Not too long into my exploration did I catch a snag. Unfortunately when you are searching for members, you are not allowed to filter by race, body type, sexual orientation, and marital status. You have to upgrade to access those features. I got frustrated and decided to just click on the next hot model’s profile I saw. Again, you had to upgrade. No surprise there. What did surprise me was that they added a new offer where you pay $2.95 for 30 days to view that particular member’s profile. At first glance it seems like a great offer because it’s only three bucks. However if you stop and think about it for a minute; you will feel that three dollars is pretty expensive for what you are getting. Therefore why not just pay $29.95 a month and view all 50 million member profiles. If you search around and click on several member profiles you will eventually get an offer of $19.95 for just the first month. It’s supposed to be for first-time customer only. With great offers like that, I can see why so many people become members. Becoming a Top Fan Another feature you can enjoy as member is becoming a top fan of your favorite member. It’s like becoming a twitter follower of your favorite person or celebrity, except it’s with members. Some of the benefits of being a top fan is viewing their profile for free (only top 10 fans can do this), contacting them for free (only #1 fan can do this), get notifications with a special badge, and appear on their activity and profile page (more visibility). So before you get a carried away just be aware that becoming a fan isn’t cheap. It’s based on a points system that you can bid on to become the members’ fan. The member’s page will list the top 10 fans along w/ their bids. The top 3 fans get their profile shown. Obviously you will have to bid more to be in the top 10 fans for the hot members. I think this part is geared towards those that have VIP type of money. To get more bang for your buck, I would suggest going with the decent looking members. This way you can become a top fan of more than one member without breaking the bank. As you can see becoming a fan will cost you a shiny penny. There are other things you can do within the community without resorting to your wallet. The lion share of my time was spent on the member activity and current contest section. Here is a break-down of what it cost for points.

Points Cost

• 1000 $10.00
• 2000 $19.00
• 3000 $27.00
• 4000 $34.00
• 5000 $40.00

Other Features

Member Activity Section

In the member’s activity section, there are tons of pictures and videos that can go on forever. All you have to do is click on the view more button and older postings will appear. The format is similar to Facebook except Heated Affairs is more interesting and graphic. In other words someone somewhere is having sex or getting naked and posting it for all to see. You can make comments or like the pictures and videos. There are so many comments that you can probably pick up new jargon. Overall, I’ve enjoyed the postings and comments quite a bit, except for the part where I have to manually refresh the page for new postings. Hopefully they will do something about this.

Contest Feature

I also spent a lot of time in the contest section. Their contest ideas seem fun. It definitely got my attention. The contest that was going on at the time was called “On/Off”. Essentially members showed side by side pictures of themselves: one picture with some clothes and the other without clothes. There was no doubt that many of the photos were super sexy. After further exploration, I had discovered that there were archived contest. Unfortunately not all the contest could be accessed. Again, you have to be a paid member to have such privileges.

Sex Academy Feature

The Sex Academy is a great feature too. I was curious of what type of courses were offered. I read and watched the video on “Erotic Massage for Couples” because it was free. After you read the material and watch the erotic videos, you then have to take a quiz in order to get certified for that particular class. The content is very detailed and helpful. I enjoyed the pictures and videos immensely. I can see the certification as being a great asset for your next potential sex partner.

Hot Members

Another area of interest was the “what’s hot” section. The hottest photos, videos, albums, member, top fans, and adult movies reside here. Unfortunately not everyone is hot. From reviewing the different profiles it seems like the hottest members are the ones that get the most likes. I spent a lot of time looking around. Fortunately, you are able to search for members by race. I appreciated this very much. As a free member you have the ability to like and comment on their profile page. Sadly that is the extent of your interaction w/ them. Anything further requires you to become a paid member. After a couple of days of commenting on member profiles, I had received quite a few emails. I was hoping that at least one of them came from a hot member. To my dismay the emails were from swinger couples wanting to hang out. I’m open to the idea without the husband or boyfriend. I’ll even let him watch. I guess I could become a paying member or if I really wanted to meet swingers I could hang out in the groups’ area and read some of the postings from local swingers of where to meet.

Bottom Line

If you are one of those social-lites that spend countless hours on posting, commenting, and following others, then this site is for you. You have the opportunity to immerse yourself into the different communities and culture. Hooking up with someone is optional. Who knows, you might be too busy doing things like partaking in contests, looking up hot members, flirting with people from half a world way, becoming a fan, broadcasting yourself, or watching adult movies on demand to mention a few. All that just cost $10 a month. That’s cheaper than taking your wife out to dinner. I say give a try.
