The Full Story:
Get It On is Adult Friend Finder’s foray into “scientific” adult dating. It is also a response to criticism of their flagship “Adult Friend Finder” site as being cluttered, gaudy, ugly, suffering from featuritis, et cetera (criticisms I discussed in my earlier review of it, here.) It is my opinion that Get It On has largely succeeded in what it set out to accomplish.
To sign up to the site (free!), you have to fill in a reasonably long questionnaire. The idea here is to give the site’s software a good idea of what your sexual preferences are and what sort of sexual experience outcome you’re trying to achieve. This information is then used to build your profile and sort through available people in your area; the site will present matching profiles to you when you log in, with a “percentage sexual compatibility” rating next to them.
Once you’ve got your list of prospective compatibles, you can simply click through to any one of the profiles and start communicating with the person using the site’s tools; email her, flirt with her, hotlist her, whatever. Get It On will also lets you record and upload personal introduction videos, and view the saved and broadcasting videos of other members, videos that–no surprise–mostly involve the indicated individuals busying themselves in acts of self-pleasure (some things never change.)
The layout and design also really deserves a mention. Visually, the site is the acme of minimalist/Zen beauty. Clean, clear, no fuss, no mess, and best of all everything just works. Entirely gone is the “Christmas tree” design of yore, replaced by a delightful and contemporary Web 2.0 composition. One thing that particularly struck me was the complete absence of upsell advertising—the site doesn’t seem to be trying to sell anything except for memberships to itself! This may be because the site is relatively new and AFF don’t want to frighten away new members, but I hope it’s more of a long-term strategic decision than that.
I should also point out some possibly-negative features. One is that because the site is fairly new, the size of the membership database can’t compete with those of AFF’s older, established sites. This doesn’t seem to meaningfully affect the search results or matches, but definitely has an impact on things like the number of member videos broadcasting at any one time. I guess there might be something to be said for joining early and scooping up all the hotties, though, hah.
There’s also an obvious lack of a member’s forum, real-time chat, and cam-to-cam functionality. While this might turn some people off, I don’t think it should. Get It On is quite deliberately “stripped down”, with the idea of turning it into a lean, mean, hookup-finding machine. It’s not about sitting around and e-socializing all day with probably-distant Internet strangers (there’s a million other sites you can do that on, and most of them are free), it’s about finding someone with compatible perversions sexual preferences who lives within an hour or two’s drive of you and then hooking up with them to make the beast with two backs.
If that sounds like what you’re after, I’d definitely recommend giving Get It On a shot. Given the marketing muscle that AFF have, the site’s only going to become more popular, and quickly.

Clean, clear, no fuss, no mess. I love the layout of the site.
Content wise, I say 10 out of 10 too. This is a great site for hooking up.
We will see. If they don’t employ “upgrade shills”–women who message you to force an upgrade and then dissapear, perhaps they’ll be okay. Time will tell!
There is something weird about this site. Maybe they don’t hire women to fake interest, but an amazingly high percentage of the profiles employ the same phrases. For instance, “I don’t want to change my life.” Why would thousands of women employ this phrase or something similar in their profiles? I suspect many of these repetitious-sounding profiles are fake. If not, what the hell is going on?
When a website can make lots of $$ dangling pics of gorgeous women looking for unattached intimate encounters with guys …. it’s going to be a successful business model. Nevertheless, any reasonable person SHOULD know that the vast majority (not all, mind you) will be fake profiles to encourage increased membership. Eventually, the word will get out that, like CL, this website is mostly fake.
By that time, however, GetItOn.com will have made tons of money and can replicate that business model again under another website domain.
Sounds identical to most modern business practices these days, no?
Geeeeeezzzzz …..
Free? Not really. The site wanted my credit card info, like I’m going to hand that over.
They only want that information if you choose to upgrade to Gold membership.
I refuse to give my credit card information, lest it be in PERSON. I DO NOT even give it over the phone. In person or NO DEAL. I would LOVE to met more wanton women in my locale, as at the moment I have been with but ONE woman that I recall AFTER my DUI car accident, at 17. The first order of business was to make cetain I received my High School Diploma. Then because I lived in Naperville, which is Dupage County for a stint, I was eligible to attend the College of Dupage.(C.O.D.) This sounds like a could be good thing, but also it very easily could be a SCAM. I am sorry I have been taken for a “ride” one too many times. – Shane Becker

I am almost 100 percent certain this site is a phony. I see almost the exact same pictures from the aff site on this one, execept that they do not tell you the last time the person logged on. I haven’t ‘upgraded’ but the sign up process, the search forms, etc.. is almost all identical. It is a thematic sex copy of the eharmony stuff. I’ve hooked up several times from aff, but this seriously looks like just a recycle of their existing code and pictures database to milk some more money out of you.
i like it cam to cam sexfree only free
likes good friend and fun i need sexy and webcam to webcam free chat me other woman and other girl only?
I am only a monk, untill I have sex.

And NO I did NOT unintentionally use the word “Their” in place of they’re.
mmmm…I have some doubt….
With all my research on dating sites i have come to believe that alot of creators of the sites are behind the scam scenario to increast their income. We are not geting scammed from just the women but the creators as well.
hola soy mienbro de getiton y quiero pagar la mensualidad pero no tengo tarjetas de credito como puedo hacer para pagar
Very disappointed. This is my first foray into the adult dating arena and the response I got were from one of 3 hookers who were using bots. I also found that the ladies of the evening in question were using amateur website photos for their profiles. Not that I mind viewing, I just feel sorta cheated. Will keep at it until my 3 month subscription runs its course but I am not hopeful.
