Easy to Use
While the signing-up process is very simple and straightforward, the site can be very confusing when it comes to getting to the actual homepage. The site sends users to a payment page, which they ask for so that they can confirm the age. However, some users might feel as though they have to provide this information, but that is not the case. However, once they get past this screen, they might get taken to several random pages before getting to the homepage. This could frustrate a lot of members and leave them wanting to look elsewhere.
However, when users eventually get to the homepage, they are presented with local matches and members who are online right now. They are also given a list of people who are on cam. All of the menus are neatly located down the right-hand side of the screen, giving them easy access to options such as local matches, new members, and friends, while they can update their profile from here too.
On the whole, the site is simple enough to use once users get to it and can access what they want and need. It is not the best site to use, but not the worst either. If members are looking for something different, then this could be the service for them.
Search Functions
The homepage makes things very easy for users to search profiles as it provides a list of members instantly. This might work for those members who are looking for a simple way to date. Here users can find singles based on their needs and locality, but if they want more, then they will have to carry out a search that can be found at the top right of the page.
The search seems fairly basic as they can determine who they are and for who they are looking for. They can then select an age, what they are looking for, the distance from their location, and where the members are living.
The search is nothing special and could be more detailed, which means that there could be an option to search by username, although having the ability to search by the city can help users to find someone who lives nearby. Once users have worked out how to search on Sexsearch.com, they can then begin messaging other users.
Safety & Security
As a member site of one of the largest dating networks in the world, more could be done to make it safer. From the moment users join, they are peppered with messages from other users, which seem like fake accounts while there are adverts too, and that can concern those when it comes to viruses. Along with this, it asks for card details at the start of the signing up process, which can be skipped, but it can make people feel as though they are trying to get their payment details to charge them. Email verification is required, but that is about as far as it goes when it comes to dating safety.
There is a Sexsearch.com customer service available, and users can access an FAQ section too. On the whole, the site feels as though it is safe enough, but more could be done.
Summary
This is a well-known site, and that can mean that members will expect it all. The site has some very useful features such as video chat and cam shows. However, even though the site is quick to join, they might feel uneasy with how it presses them for payment details. The profile section is easy to update while the search could be improved. Therefore, the site could offer more, but it does more than enough to give users what they want.
