Hey all, been lurking here for a while and finally posting. Is chatzy sex chat still the go-to for text-based roleplay — I've seen it come up in other threads but never with a solid answer, so figured I'd ask directly.
Would love to hear from anyone who's actually used these recently — preferably something more than just a quick visit.
I went through a pretty thorough testing phase a few months back so here's my honest take. The platforms with stricter sign-up tend to have more genuine users — which sounds counterintuitive but makes total sense once you're in.
Things worth checking:
Mobile apps also matter — if the desktop is great but the app is broken, that's a dealbreaker for most people.
That said, DatingFly has been getting good feedback lately for exactly this kind of use case.
The bot problem is something nobody talks about honestly. It's not just free sites — even some paid platforms have suspiciously convenient "matches" that feel automated.
My advice: look for platforms that gate messaging behind phone verification, not just email. That one step filters out the majority of throwaway accounts.

Personally I'd give Datewander a shot before paying for anything.
Honestly had the exact same confusion about this not too long ago. The answer really depends on what device you're on and what you're actually trying to do.

For what it's worth, Ezhookups seems to have cleaned up its bot problem compared to last year.
Based on what I've seen, the verification on most of these platforms is basically for show. Real moderation is rare unless you're on a paid tier.

I came across Turndate last month and it's been surprisingly active.

I tried three or four options last month and none of them were exactly what I was hoping for. The free tiers especially are pretty watered down these days.
A friend swears by Datebie for this exact scenario.
