If you’ve spent some time on AdultFriendFinder, you might be interested to know that there’s a larger network of sites that share its architecture and design philosophy. These sites are part of the FriendFinder Network, which encompasses a wide variety of sites, from mainstream dating sites to religiously focused dating services and even live cam sites.
Here are three of the most popular AFF alternatives run by the FriendFinder Network:
ALT
ALT is one of the largest kinksters-only dating sites on the web, with a much greater BDSM influence than even AdultFriendFinder. The user interface and site aesthetics are clearly inspired by AFF, but there’s a much greater emphasis on connecting individuals to couples or couples to individuals, and the user base is largely well-schooled in the basics of BDSM.

Mashable Trend Report
BigChurch
If you’ve spent any time on AFF, it may surprise you to learn that one of the other sites under the FriendFinder network umbrella is a Christian dating site, but apart from the aesthetics and user interface, BigChurch has almost nothing in common with its naughty sibling.
As with many other FriendFinder sites, signing up is totally free, and BigChurch has a strong community aspect, with a biblical bent nearly everywhere you look. The homepage serves up not only a Bible verse (Genesis 2:24: “A man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh” — what else!) but also a search bar, so instead of finding partners by shared kinks, you can find someone who shares your passion for Ephesians.
Cams.com
If you’re more of a visual learner and want your dating experience to match, Cams.com is a great alternative to the more common, text-based approach to online dating. As with AFF, free members are somewhat restricted in what they can do on the site, though you can browse webcam feeds. If you upgrade to a paid account, the fun really begins, with HD webcam feeds and the option to tip, private message, or live video chat with other users.
There’s also a very robust search filter, so you can find models of all ages, genders (trans-inclusive!), and ethnicities. One big caveat, though: as with AFF, there are scammers on Cams.com, often using pre-recorded video feeds, so take a second to verify the person you’re watching is real before you spend a token on them or send them a message.
