As the name itself suggests, BeNaughty is a popular UK based online dating site dedicated to casual dating, flirting and hooking up. Although most available dating sites offer their customers a place where they can meet the love of their life, at this dating site people are focused on finding no strings meets and they enjoy webcam sessions without serious intents.

As we said in the intro, BeNaughty is all about casual flirting, one night stands and occasional hookups. If you are trying to find everlasting love or romance, it is better to sign up on another dating site. At BeNaughty, you will get the chance to meet like-minded people who are ready to have some fun just as you are. Satisfying playful desires is all that matters here. To place your naughty interests on your profile is considered to be a norm here.
As to its members, the site is full of regular adults who want some kinky fun. There is no specific age range, but most people are in their early 50s or 60s. If you search through the profiles you may also find people from 18 and up who are interested both in friendship and casual flirting. When it comes to sex preferences, you are allowed to join the site no matter if you are gay or straight. All nationalities are welcomed, too.
Although, most online dating sites aim at 50/50 gender distribution, at BeNaughty the ratio men/women is 64/36, which means men are the predominant gender. In fact, there are 28% less women than men. To bring the ratio closer to the ideal 50/50, BeNaughty occasionally offers free subscription to women. In terms of active users vs. registered members, there is no big discrepancy. This means that most registered members are actively searching for their perfect match. Statistics show that 9.3 million people visit the website every month in order to have fun and meet a person to spend the night with.
One issue connected to BeNaughty is the truthfulness of the users` profiles. Many disappointed registered members claim that at this dating site you can find a person to spend the night with but only virtually. They say that almost no real-life encounters happen thanks to BeNaughty. In the past couple of months, BeNaughty was even recognized as a legitimate site full of fake profiles. The company rejects these arguments and works hard on improving its popularity in the online dating world.
Overview of the paid service
The initial membership at BeNaughty is free. However, if you want to enjoy all features you have to subscribe to one of the three available membership plans. Don`t worry the prices are decent and everybody can afford a membership.
No matter what plan you choose, the paid service includes the following features: a naughty mode (show explicit videos and photos when activated), a choice of about 50 different ice-breakers (flirt-cards, winks), chat and video applications, participation in erotic photo contests, sending naughty virtual gifts and browsing matches by using specific searches.
The most commonly used paid feature are the ice-breakers. They help members make the initial contact and establish a connection with other potential matches without using words. The most exciting feature according to the registered members are the naughty virtual gifts. The details about the pricing are to be found below in the cost overview section.
What does the free variant offer?
When compared to other online dating sites, BeNaughty gives a full access to all features the first three days after you complete the registration process. Users describe this opportunity (to try out the site for free) as spectacular. However, after your 3 day trial expires, you either subscribe to the basic free membership or subscribe to a paid service. The basic free membership does not offer much. After you create your profile you can check some profiles but you are not allowed to make a direct contact. The marketing idea behind the 3 day trial is the following: Once men have tasted caviar, they never settle for catfish.
How good is the matching algorithm?
BeNaughty does not find you matches automatically. The whole matching process is based on the preferences you type in the search box. This means that you control the process of match making. However, what BeNaughty does is facilitate the matchmaking process by narrowing down the huge number of potential candidates to those who match your dating criteria. BeNaughty also offers an advanced search through which you can find out how many people are waiting for you at a specific point of time. A local search is also available to those who want to search singles in the local area or in the neighborhood.
In fact, the matching process is not as thorough as the one based on science, however it proves to be effective since people trying to find a hookup for the night do not really pay attention to personal characteristics and features. There are many members who are only focused on fresh blood and they contact new members immediately.
Unfortunately, the success rate of BeNaughty is disappointing. Most of the registered members claim they could not find any real women there. You might be lucky and have cyber sex, but getting laid in person is nearly impossible.
BeNaughty is also known as having bad reputation in terms of fake profiles. It is often criticized for creating fake profiles of women itself because of the lack of women on the website. The number of fake profiles is getting bigger and bigger every day.
Registration procedure and profile creation
The sign up process at BeNaughty is probably the easiest and fastest on the market. You can create a profile in just 30s. It is up to you to decide whether you are going to give details about yourself. Some profiles are almost blank, while there are others filled with unnecessary details. The basic information you must include is your sex orientation, your name, date of birth and password. Everything else is optional. And that`s it. As simple as that. After your profile is created you receive an e-mail and you can immediately start your search. An automatic question appears on the screen asking you if you would like to see some suggested matches. Since the profiles are not very detailed, the suggested matches probably won`t be to your likings and you will decide to continue with your search manually.
Cost Overview
People come and go at BeNaughty. If someone pays a membership for this month, it doesn`t mean that he/she will continue the subscription the following month. This is one of the reasons why BeNaughty is relatively a cheap online dating site. Everyone can afford to join at least once, before he makes a decision to stay. The monthly membership costs $24.99. If you would like to subscribe to a 3 month membership you will have to pay $13.99 each month. And if you choose a 6 month membership you pay $10.99 per month which means you save $14 every month.
The subscription is renewed automatically. So if you want to cancel it, don`t forget to do it manually. In terms of payment methods, all credit and debit cards are acceptable. You can also pay by using a wire transfer.
Are there any bonus offers and vouchers?
Probably the most exclusive promotion available at BeNaughty is the free membership for women promotion. Since the percentage of active women is much lower than that of men, BeNaughty encourages women to sign up for free. Sometimes, special promotions such as free weekends or a chance to browse profiles for free are available. You can also find some coupons which guarantee discounts to all memberships. The usual discount is up to 30%. BeNaughty offers holiday promotions too. Before signing up, make sure you visit the website, check the available promotions and search for unofficial codes which sometimes magically work.
Support
If you have issues or if you are not sure about something, you will probably try to find a frequently asked questions section or a help center at the website. And here comes the surprise. There is none available. Not only does BeNaughty lack a FAQ section, but it also lacks a contact area or any sort of help. BeNaughty is probably the only online dating site where a customer support team is missing. Many potential members see this as a huge disadvantage and decide to switch to other providers instead.
Security and privacy
In order to be safe and to fully enjoy BeNaughty, you can find a list of 17 great date tips on its landing page. It is always good to check the privacy policy of every online dating site, before you decide to go through with the registration process. The privacy policy includes the following info: who has access to your data and who can use it, what data they collect and what they do with it, how long they keep the data etc.
More background about the operator
As you probably concluded from what we have recently discussed, BeNaughty is an online dating provider for those seeking a more adventurous dating experience. The ownership of BeNaughty is in the hands of Cupid Plc which also operates with Sex in the UK and Girls Date for Free. It is available as a mobile application too. The naughty singles are located mostly in UK and US. Most members describe it as feature rich, but these same people also say that BeNaughty is not the most reliable dating provider dedicated to casual dating and hookups. Yet, somehow, through the years BeNaughty has managed to maintain a huge number of active members which is growing each and every day.
Conclusion
All in all, BeNaughty is a fun, entertaining and feature reach online dating site. It has its own advantages and drawbacks. People love it because they are never bored when at BeNaughty. On the other hand, there are those who are utterly disappointed and think of the whole experience as a waste of time and money. Since the cost is relative cheap, everyone can register at least for a month and see for themselves.
