FreeChatNow

Long before the days of high-speed dial-up internet, but after the transition from Usenet to the World Wide Web, most people's personal computers were able to send data in the form of text nearly instantly. Still, download speeds for getting pictures were often so slow they could take over a minute to receive, and streaming video was virtually impossible.

So, while you might be able to see some low-resolution porn online, downloading a full video, or watching a lovely lady perform on a webcam was not an option.

Consequently, a new form of internet-based sex arose, which is still popular today: web chatting. Dozens of websites cropped up offering free chat adult chatrooms. However, over time due to turbulent economic conditions, improvements in download speeds, competition with studio sites, and streaming services, most of those veteran websites have either faded into obscurity or disappeared entirely.

However, like with most trends, there is always one person, entity, or organization that bucks it, and in this case, has been surprisingly maintained and updated adult chat platform – Free Chat Now.

It Is An Ancient Platform, But It Still Looks Good

Founded in the late 1990s, this platform has provided the same service – free adult chat rooms without having to register an account. They have kept their service free but also added a ton of features in the past few decades. As a result, this website is the number one sexting sites and reports itself to be one of the top porn-related platforms.

One of the reasons for this is the excellent aesthetic. Rather than do the bare minimum when it comes to layout, the orange-blue-white color scheme and minimalist icon elicit excitement but are not too visually overstimulating.

The homepage provides you with detailed but concise instructions on how to use the site and everything you can do. Plus, the top-side menu and the eleven links on the upper right-hand side of the screen link you directly to the site's main features, all without popups, banner ads, or redirects.

The few exceptions are Cam Sex and Live Sex links, which redirect you to the webcam platform ImLive.com. The other is the Free Porn Sites menu link, which takes you to ThePornDude's page, something we would usually criticize, but since he is a friend of our site, we will let it slide.

There Are Tons Of Chat Rooms To Hangout In

In fact, we thought that many seemed that they were redundant at first. However, with so many users, all of whom have different tastes and kinks, it makes sense that FCN would have so many categories. Each of which has half a dozen individual chat rooms that fit the theme of the section. We will try to keep it brief, but here is a summary of what you have to look forward to…

Sex Chat – The six chat rooms seem a bit random but somewhat enjoyable to hang out in. In addition to a few general sex chat rooms, there is one dedicated to masturbation, live coupling, and even one specifically about housewife fetishism.

Gay Chat – Obviously, this section is for users of a queer perspective for general gay talk and more specific stuff. Specifically, there are a couple of gay rooms and one for the bis, but also one dedicated to live Latinos, fellas with giant phalluses, and, of course, a place to talk all about twinks.

Video Chat – While there are not any fetish-oriented categories per se, the sheer number of people you can choose from in these six rooms is rather impressive. You can anticipate talking about and seeing solo sex and couples copulating.

Lesbian Chat – While there are not the specialty sections found in the Gay Chat, this section clearly is all about ladies who like other ladies, and the guys who support them. There is also some discussion of trans people and the sex that they have as well.

Mobile Chat – While you can access these rooms through desktop version for some reason, our guess it is a reminder that you can use this website on handheld devices.

Singles Chat – Looking to cure your loneliness and (hopefully) cure someone else isolation? Then this the place to be. Unfortunately, these pages are just a repeat of the same set of links found in the Video Chat section.

Cam, Roleplay & Adult Chat – Like the aforementioned set of rooms, there are no specific fetishes promoted here, but all of the general topics are self-explanatory.

Getting Started – Plus Tips And Rules To Adhere To

You do not need an account to participate in a chat, and all you need to do is generate a random username, select your gender, provide a birthday, and agree to their terms of service.

However, if you want to use the same nickname and make some new fap friends, membership also is free. Creating an account requires the same criteria as signing up as a guest and also verifying your email.

Whichever you do, every time you log into a chat room, you are required to promise to adhere to site rules, which we recommend you read for yourself, but we will cover the basics. Obviously, do not harass or abuse anyone or flood the chat or post links, which will be considered spam. Further, you and media of anyone you post must be at least 18 and content depicting minors, bestiality, incest, any sort of violence is forbidden. Similarly, do not promote content that is or act in a bigoted manner.

In short, do not act like a troll.

Moving on, there is a small problem with scammers trolling for users’ personal information. To be sure, that does not mean that you are going to have to be suspicious of most users.

Actually, most of them are very clearly aroused and just want to talk about sexual fantasies and share pictures, but you should be careful about what you share. So most importantly, do not give out your real name or email address. In fact, this, too, is a violation of FCN's terms of service.

Lastly, only English is allowed in the chat.

The Forum Looks Great, Too

You can get the full FCN experience in the chat without an official account, but with a profile, you can participate on the forum, which we do recommend considering. Unsurprisingly, the largest section is the Hookups and Hangouts, which is more serious than you might think. By that, we mean that in addition to talking about fantasies and past sexual encounters, people do post threads actually to meet up in-person with other users.

One thing we have noticed is that the LGBT section is surprisingly large, so our queer readers should take note. Moving on, while not massive, this forum has a series of threads we have never seen called Mugshots. Literally, they are just selfies of faces and naughty bits, but they are presented in a sort of taboo way wherein users beg other members to rate them. Exhibitionists should definitely check this section out.

Of course, there are the standard run-of-the-mill topics about tech, politics, art, and everyone's favorite subject more controversial than porn, that being politics. But there is another forum section to have conversations about conversations in FCN's chatrooms. How unique and meta is that?

The Blog Has Some Decent Reads

While not the best blog we have ever seen, there are several different posts that cover chat room policy, tips on how to have fun in individual rooms, and even reviews of video games. They are pretty well-written and fun to read, though there is no regularity to the posts.

Using This Site’s Services On Handheld Machines

Not only has this site been optimized competently for mobile devices, in some way, but it is also actually better. Specifically, it looks better because there are fewer ads, and accessing the chat is much smoother across browsers. However, on mobile, you will have to put up with spammy popups frequently.

Summing Up Is Well Executed And What To Fix

First, one of the best things that this site gets right is its aesthetics. The color combination works, and while the amount of text is a little heavy, we appreciate the level of thoroughness when it comes to explaining how the platform works and what the rules are.

Second, with 30 different rooms to frequent, which always have other people from all over the world to discuss your dirty kinks with. And if you like the people you chat with or want to meet even more people, we definitely recommend joining the equally active forum.

Third, the blog section is not the best that we have seen, but with the tons of different sex topics published, we think that it is a nice bonus feature.

However, while every page is not saturated with banner ads and this problem is not crawling with malware-laden popups, there still an advert problem.

Yes, we understand that free-to-use sites like this need to make money, but rather than generate revenue with "sneaky" links, which take you to different cam sites. Instead, we would be more direct and post a modest number of adverts openly on pages.

While FCN is good about not giving out information, the reason they stress reading their terms of service and not even giving out your phone number due to phishers and scammers, we would go further to remove users who are trying to acquire other people's data. To be specific, we would add a report feature that would alert our administrators to check backlogged data from interactions in chat or on the forum.

The biggest problem we have with this platform is its stability on different browsers. Indeed, you will find that FCN may seem broken if you use Safari when doing a CAPTCHA test when logging into a chat room. We would modify the website’s programming to fix this issue.

Lastly, we would consolidate and expand the number of chat rooms.

Do We Feel You Will Like Free Chat Now?

To be sure, there are some issues with the website which do not make it perfect, but we were so impressed with the number of chat rooms, the active forum, and the design, for the most part, we can look past most of the negatives.

Even with the structural problems that this platform has, we will give FCN four and a half hands out of five. We do endorse this site and suggest that you should sign up, or at the very least, try it out as a guest user.

Happy chatting.
