Tips & Warnings
Fling recommends that you upload more photos to attract more potential friends.
Although registering for Fling is free, the service does offer paid subscriptions that give you access to additional features such as access to real-time video chat and full access to all areas of the site.
Fling allows you to safeguard your identity by blocking out personally identifiable information before uploading your ID. The photo verification process is only for the purpose of verifying physical identity and age. Address information is only required when uploading sexually explicit photos of yourself.
Finally, because Fling features adult material, you may want to protect your privacy by using a free web-based email account.
