If you made a video for Friends Only, what would you include? That’s kind of a trick question, because I’m sure some of you neckbeards would include bong hits and shots of your sword collection, but around here I’m always more concerned about content you can jack off to. Maybe the better question is what you would like to see if you had a friend with benefits, and she happened to be a sexy internet model. What’s a couple of nudie videos between close buds, huh?
I’ve heard FriendsOnly.me referred to as an alternative to OnlyFans, but I don’t think that really does the joint justice. They’ve got some similar features, including letting amateur babes sell their own premium content, but these guys roll in some other social media features that I’d say are more immediately enticing than what the big OF throws at you. I’d say the platform is more like a cross between OnlyFans and TikTok, and I’d be happy to explain why if you haven’t already followed your boner through the link.
Who Got TikTok in My OnlyFans?
If I hadn’t already heard of FriendsOnly, I probably would have assumed it was another one of the TikTok Porn Sites that I’ve been reviewing a lot lately. Pulling up the front page, the first thing I saw was a video loop of a tattooed babe in a sports bra and panties licking her lips and teasing the camera. I swiped the screen and found a big-ass goth girl shaking her ass in sheer lingerie. A few more swipes brought me a topless blonde shooting a mirror selfie vid, some pedicured toes peeking out of a bubble bath, a girl with pink hair and a pink tail twerking, and a chick with big jugs unbuttoning her sweater.
It feels a hell of a lot like TikTok, especially if you’re viewing on your phone. There are little icons to mute the loops, like them with a heart, give a gift or share, plus a tiny selfie button that’ll bring you to a model’s full FriendsOnly profile. The interface is engaging as hell, and I could see whacking off to the site right away without ever signing up for an account.
At the same time, I felt there might be even better material on the other side of the Log In button. I didn’t see any explicit nudity out front, not a single pussy lip nor nipple, not even a stray pube. Poking through a few random profiles, the content was a bit more explicit, but a lot of videos were blurred out and locked down. The FriendsOnly.me Rules of Service only ban the usual illegal and hateful stuff prohibited by most sites, so I knew there was kinkier material to be seen by Friends Only—if I could only find it.
Registration is quick and easy. You can use your credentials from a handful of different sites/apps, but I just used a temporary email address to avoid spam. There’s no validation step, so my account was up and running within a matter of seconds. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but the first video I saw on the front page after registering was a fully topless babe, nipples and all. There were still a lot of non-explicit vids, but one chick did pull her G-string aside to flash her butthole.
Homemade Nudie Vids for Friends Only
Flipping through the vids on the front page of FriendsOnly.me, it really seemed like registering an account gave me access to dirtier material. I saw a fair number of nipples, but I was curious just how freaky the site got. I started typing things into the search bar, beginning with Anal. The platform doesn’t seem to use tagging to organize the content, which is a fucking bummer, so the search only sifts through usernames and nicknames. I found a handful of accounts with names like Anal Stretch, Anal Sex, Analytics Prima and Analena Kizzy. What I didn’t find were anal porn videos.
I had a tiny bit of luck searching FriendsOnly for BBW, Feet and Asian, but no content for common porn keywords like Dildo, Cosplay, BDSM, Masturbation, and Teen. I feel like much of the problem boils down to the total lack of tagging and the relative newness of the platform. Some of the models add hashtags to their posts, so hopefully they add those to the search engine at some point. If not, searchability is going to become an even bigger issue as the site grows. Good stuff will probably get lost in the shuffle if they don’t do something to stop it.
It’s always frustrating when a site doesn’t offer a decent way to search through the archive, but it’s especially obnoxious when there’s a nice range of content available. I got a taste of that just flipping through randomly. In a couple minutes I saw topless redheads, thick Latinas, pretty feet, banana-eating blondes and a stray dude unbuttoning his shirt. There are belly dancers and country girls, cosplay chicks and PAWGs.
Since I’d heard FriendsOnly.me was an OnlyFans alternative, I was genuinely surprised by the wealth of free videos. Holy shit, I think most of the platform may be free at this point. Most models do have a selection of clips reserved for paying Friends Only, but there are also a fair number of them who let you Become A Friend for free just by clicking the button. Many of them are promoting content on other platforms, which helps explain why so much of the material here is relatively soft. Everywhere you go, they’re always trying to sell you the premium version!
Damn, I’ve Got Some Sexy Friends
I’ll admit, I am a little disappointed the Friends Only girls are reserving their best content for paying fans. At the same time, I totally get it. It’s kind of like what I’m doing over at PornDudeCasting with all the free video previews. I let you watch a minute-long montage of every movie I shoot, but you’ve got to shell out thirty bucks a month to see the full thing. That’s just Business 101, my friends. (If you’re really interested in the business, check out my other site, PornWebmasters!)
FriendsOnly models set their own prices like they do on OnlyFans and get to keep the same 80% they would on the bigger platform. Most of them charge around 10 EUR, give or take, though whether or not it ends up cheaper than your typical paysite is really a matter of your own impulses and your own willpower. Signing up for a couple profile subscriptions or beating off to the free stuff will be a lot cheaper than a membership for PornDudeCasting, Brazzers, RealityKings or any of the other big boys. If you’re a compulsive masturbator or addictive porn buyer, well, you may want to set a budget before you go in.
No shit, my dudes, I think FriendsOnly may be my favorite “OnlyFans alternative” that I’ve encountered so far. I really love the pseudo-TikTok presentation, which gives you an instant feed of dirty stuff to get you all hard and drippy. That’s a far cry from the setup at OnlyFans, where the front page doesn’t have a hint of T&A and the suggestions mostly suck. The overall design of FriendsOnly is fucking great.
That said, there’s certainly room for improvement. One of my longstanding complaints about OnlyFans is their search engine, which is fucking garbage. The one on FriendsOnly ain’t much better, but I feel like it has a lot more potential since they don’t try to maintain a bullshit aura of respectability like OnlyFans. Help masturbators find what we like and we’re sure to spend a lot more money!
I’m excited about FriendsOnly.me, and I’d love to see more models getting on board the platform. It’s already instantly engaging in a way that other OnlyFans knockoffs simply aren’t, so all they really need to explode is a bigger userbase of models hawking their content here. I think this one will continue to improve as more models sign up and they iron out the kinks in the presentation. Check it out if you like the format of TikTok and the porno of OnlyFans.
