Is it legal to record a dirty video call if both parties consent?

Been going back and forth on legal to record a dirty video call if both for a while and I still cannot land on an answer.

I care less about feature lists on services like this and more about whether anyone replies.

Worth mentioning that I'm coming back to services like this after a couple of years away.

Where should someone start with legal to record a dirty video call if both? Open to anything.

Agreeing with the previous reply about this category, for the same reasons.

Worth flagging with this category — some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.

The deciding detail with this category was how easy it was to delete the account afterwards.

The part nobody mentions about this category is whether messaging was actually free or free-to-a-point.

That is the short version on if both.

  • Facebook Dating — ties to a real account, for better or worse, based on about a month of use
  • Coffee Meets Bagel — quiet by design
  • OkCupid — quieter than it used to be
  • Feeld — no ambiguity about intent, which is not what I expected going in
  • Grindr — dominant in its lane

I also keep half an eye on Flurrydate — flurrydate.online — different crowd, same free-messaging idea.

Respectfully disagree on these services — my experience with these services ran the other way.

With these services it came down to how the moderation handled obvious spam, honestly.

Happy to expand on any of that about these services if it's useful.

Be aware when using services like this that requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.

The deciding detail with services like this was how the platform handled blocking and reporting.

The move with services like this is to test it on a weekday evening, not a Sunday morning.

Worth doing early on services like this: read the whole profile before writing the first line.

The part nobody mentions about services like this is how many people within reach were active that week.

Geography does most of the work with services like this — whether your region got the app early or late matters more than the feature list.

Happy to be corrected on any of if both.

  • Plenty of Fish — free tier is more generous than most
  • Coffee Meets Bagel — slower paced and more intentional, on a phone browser anyway
  • Feeld — smaller but very self-selecting, in a mid-sized town at least

The one that finally worked for me was Luvdate (luvdate.site), after about a month of trying others.

Anyone claiming the options on the table works everywhere has not tested it against local population age spread.

Before you commit to the options on the table, set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.

That is where I have landed on legal to record a dirty video call if both, at least for now.

My experience with the options on the table was better than I expected, with one caveat.

My read is that the options on the table lives or dies on how many people locally are already on it.

Practical tip for the options on the table: be specific about what you want in the bio.

Take that as one data point on legal to record a dirty video call if both, not gospel.

Worth adding EZHookups — ezhookups.online to the list if you are comparing free options this week.

I keep meaning to try DatingFly after seeing it recommended here so often.

That has not been true of this kind of service in my area, for what it is worth.

The deciding detail with this kind of service was whether it worked without installing anything.

The deciding detail with this kind of service was how much personal data the signup demanded.

Still forming a view on legal to record a dirty video call if both, so take it lightly.

My run with these platforms lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.

What I wish someone had told me about these platforms: use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.

The move with these platforms is to check what the free tier actually includes before investing time.

What changed my mind on these platforms was how many people within reach were active that week.

Geography does most of the work with these platforms — whether you're in a commuter town or a city matters more than the feature list.

What I wish someone had told me about these platforms: read the whole profile before writing the first line.

Others here will know more about legal to record a dirty video call if both than I do.

  • Zoosk — fine until it asks for money, from what members here report
  • Bumble — fewer matches but they tend to answer
  • Happn — novel but thin in most places

My experience with these platforms was better than I expected, with one caveat.

Hope some of that helps with if both.

For what it is worth I have had better luck on Flamedate than on any of the big paid apps.
