An honest review of all dating apps!
Looking to have a little fun outside of your relationship? The Heated Affairs dating site will let you do just that. But will it actually fulfill what we’re looking for? Probably.
As I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of dating sites, I came across HeatedAffairs, which I hadn’t heard of before.
I’ve been eyeballing this dating site for a while and finally took a dive into it. I was hesitant mostly because there have been some questions about whether Heated Affairs is legit or not and I wanted to take a look for myself. There’s nothing worse than signing up to find a cutie (or multiple) only to realize filtering isn’t that great or there isn’t enough info avail about users. So if I can save you that precious time, I will.
Heated Affairs currently bills itself as “the world’s largest cheating site” with over 48.7 million members (!!) to find friendships, online affairs and cheating spouses. Let the mischievous side of you come out to play! 😈
Outside of the obvious (🤫) HeatedAffairs.com offers easy access to live member streaming, showcasing a variety of explicit content and hook-up opportunities. The platform provides an array of features familiar to dating and hookup sites, including profile views, hotlisting, flirting, friend lists, and personalized hot lists. Virgos, rejoice!
For those who love getting involved in community (or even just lurking…) Heated Affairs offers engaging features such as blogs, groups, a magazine, a sex academy, contests, and erotic (*ahem* spicy) stories to ignite your imagination.
Having a community set up this way is a great way to get your feet wet and feel safe without actually interacting with people yet if you don’t want to.
The number one concern on all our minds – yup, from what I can see, Heated Affairs is legit as far as dating sites are concerned. With its user base of millions and established presence in the online dating community, it offers a platform for those looking for extramarital affairs and discreet encounters.
While it's important to exercise caution and discretion when engaging in online hookups or casual dating, Heated Affairs has proven to be a reputable and reliable option for those interested in exploring their desires outside of a committed relationship.
*Note, this is as of June-July 2023. Please check Heated Affairs in case something has changed shortly after creating this review.

The good news is, you can choose between a free or premium (Gold Tier) membership depending on if you’re trying to just get your feet wet, or something else entirely.
Since I’ve been using a bunch of dating sites, quick and painless is definitely what I’m looking for.
The initial sign-up process is fairly simple. Just let them know what gender you identify with, if you’re solo or part of a couple (for double the fun), and what you’re seeking.
Worth noting: it’s great to see Trans as an option here, as not many other dating sites include this.
After that, enter your birthdate and zip code, email address, user name, and (optionally) sexual orientation, body type, race, and marital status to finish signing up.
From there, you can set up your full profile, including your “cupid preference” to fine-tune the hookup you’re looking for.
Once you’re in, it’s hotties galore!
You’ll be able to see a curated box with
From your personal homepage, there’s also easy access to see members' live streaming (beware: naughty videos available) and member activity.
Like most other dating and hookup sites, you’ll be able to see who has viewed your profile, hotlisted or flirted with you, your friend list, your own hot list, and more.
Common Questions:
Age Requirement to use Heated Affairs: To become a registered member, you must be at least 18 years old, as Heated Affairs is an adult website. While this is expected, if someone looks to young, it’s worth being careful because the age verification process doesn’t seem extensive
Heated Affairs Doesn’t Require Facebook Registration: Woo! While some appreciate this, Heated Affairs does not offer the option to register using Facebook.
Email Verification: After registration, you'll receive a confirmation email. By clicking the link provided in the email, your email address will be automatically verified.
Editing Your Heated Affairs Username: You can edit your username by accessing the "My Account" section on the homepage.
If you’re looking to save cash like me, you’ll have happy to hear that some site functionality is available on the free tier, and more advanced features with the Gold Tier.
If I can avoid spending cash on a dating site and get a delish cup of coffee instead, I will. So I love a good free tier obviously. On Heated Affairs, there’s a free tier that allows you…
Things really heat up as a gold member though, with prices ranging from $19.95/month to $39.95/month depending on how many months you purchase.
With the “Gold Member” tier you can get more action, contact any member, and have full access to all profiles, photos and videos.
It was frustrating finding a profile that looked enticing and running into the upsell for Gold Membership, so if you like what you’re seeing, it may be worth signing up for a month.
You’re able to see a few thumbnails, part of the bio information and the type of account and capabilities they have, however.
You can use a variety of different payment methods:
Is community your thing? Heatedaffairs.com has blogs, groups, a magazine, sex academy, contests, and erotic stories (to read alone or with someone else). If you want to show off your personality and catch the attention of those looking for hookups, you can also use *bling* that’s reminiscent of the Myspace days, or be gifted it if you’re good at making friends ;)
If you’re looking to purely enjoy erotic and enticing content, the community section allows you to dive into personalized feeds and thousands of blogs, groups and shared erotica with a number of different categories.
The community section is incredibly active for viewing or participation and allows you to follow users, hide them, or save for future viewing.
Time to put away your erotic novels and quench your thirst with tons of new material.
So just how easy is it to search for a hookup or affair? Their search features start with fairly run-of-the-mill filters, but then you’re able to drill down into,
Overall, their search functionality is pretty extensive beyond the basic filters, and perfect to find your heated affair
There normally aren’t unique enough features to set a dating site apart, but I was surprised at what I found on Heated Affairs that helped set it apart:
So, is Heated Affairs legit? All in all, I found it to be a comprehensive dating site with extensive features, community, and connection opportunities. I’d consider using the paid tier for a little bit longer and see if I can meet someone who checks all my boxes.
