Adult Friend Finder - Shame on you

Why is that even the best sites occassionally have to divert to sleaze to attract members. I am both a promoter and a subscriber of AFF. So, yesterday, when I received an advertising email from AFF, and found the following reference (and versions thereof) a total of 2 different times, I wasn't very happy with the program:

small-breasted schoolgirl types

Or maybe you prefer the allure of small "schoolgirl" breasts?

To most surfers, 'schoolgirl' means exactly that: a school girl = an underaged girl

And I would assume that for more surfers then not, the implied mention that there could be underage girls on the site is a turnoff and a reason to get away from the site as quick as possible. You guys seem to forget, surfers are just like you and me. Just because they surf porn, doesn't mean that every little sick fantasy, such as schoolgirls, is going to turn them on.

AFF is a good program, for both the webmaster and our customers. I would hope that you reconsider using this type of appeal to generate business. This takes the acceptability of AFF as a viable dating site, to a site where our consumers need to sneak around and hide in shame.

On a side note, I assume that you send out a different email to the females? With 1 member out of about 20 being female, I would assume that considerable efforts are being made to ensure that not only do we convert our male visitiors to sales, but that when they join, they will find a good selection of 'real' members and not just a few 'real' ones splattered in with a large number of webmistress sites. And yes, a good percentage of the ads where the woman appears to be seeking everything under the sun: men, women, groups, couples, and so on, are in fact veiled ads for their adult sites.
