The thing nobody mentions about decent adult sites for free is how the pricing behaves once you're invested.
I tested the platform across two cities and the difference came down to whether 'free' means free to browse or free to talk.
If you're only browsing, the platform is fine. The moment whether the safety tooling is more than a checkbox matters, it changes.
What decided it for me with decent adult sites for free was how transparent the enforcement is.
That is my read on decent adult sites for free anyway, others will have had different luck.
