NewHoney Review July 2020

Back when it was Lisa18, registration was made interesting with a picture quiz. In it, new members selected the visual—and not safe for work!—representation of their answers to the questions. 

At NewHoney now, you can sign up wherever and whenever as the erotic imagery is gone. In its place is a rather detailed quiz which will ask about you and the sexual experience you’re looking for. 

Here’s the deal: you can’t skip any of the 18 questions. Although it may take a while, it saves you time as you get to build your profile and preference in one go. 

The first six questions will ask what you are (male or female), your relationship (single, attached, married, divorced, or in an open relationship), and what you’re looking for at NewHoney (men or women). 

It will then ask your birth date, nickname, and location with the latter being used for matching purposes.

Profile-building is the aim of the next seven questions. You will be asked to supply your answers to the following: 

• Height 
• Body type (slim, average, athletic, a few pounds more, or full-figured) 
• Hair colour (blonde, brunette, red, white, black, or bald) 
• Hair length (short, medium length, or long) 
• Eye colour (blue, brown, black, green, or grey) 
• Three character traits that best describe you 
• Three things you love the most about your body. 

For the next three questions, you get to define what you are looking for. NewHoney will use your answers to match you with members who are on the same page as you.

Choose the type of relationship you can commit to (short affair, longer affair, erotic chat or flirts, sensual relationship, or whatever excites you) then supply the characteristics of your ideal sexual match. 

Lastly, NewHoney will ask for your history on one-night stands: is it a routine or not? All that’s left is for you to supply your email address and preferred password. NewHoney will then send an email confirmation. Click the link to finish signing up.  

Its women clientele may be delighted to know that NewHoney is still 100% free—from profile creation to actual interaction with members. 

For the gents, don’t fret. NewHoney offers what is probably a generous set-up: the auto-premium. 

For a few days, you get full access to all of the dating site’s features. This trial allows you to get in touch with the ladies and can be the deciding factor if you’ll want to upgrade to a paid subscription.

A premium subscriber, regardless of gender, will enjoy the following features:

• Contact Proposal

Unlike other dating websites, NewHoney does not give any of its users the liberty to search for a potential match. 

Instead, they give you contact proposals: members they identified using their special algorithm. These profiles match your sexual interests and are also nearby for quicker pick-me-ups.

You immediately get at least 10 contact proposals upon registration. Unlike other dating websites, what’s rather neat about NewHoney is that you get to keep all proposals. No time limit will pressure you to get in touch.

• My Matches

Click this tab to review all the Contact Proposals NewHoney generated from the time you registered up to the present. 

• Conversations

These are the messages you send and receive while using the site. The Mailbox is like your trusty text message inbox. 

On the one hand, you get to exchange words easily; on the other hand, you won’t be able to send any multimedia. 

A little bummer, but it seems like you’ll have to rely on your words alone. Your conversations will be stripped of the more creative images, videos, GIFs, and emojis.

• My Visitors

This feature is quite self-explanatory: it lets you know who viewed your profile out of all the contact proposals you received. 

That way, you can opt to dedicate some time in wooing the members who showed you interest.

• My Favourites

Although NewHoney works to ensure you get suggested to members who fit the bill, you can still decide who the cream of the crop is and add them here. 

The My Favourites tab not only stores your faves’ profiles; you can also jot down notes about a particular member.

• My ‘Likes’

Probably one surefire way to score a hot date is to make sure the other party likes you, too. At NewHoney, you get to do just that with My ‘Likes.’ 

In this feature, make your pictures visible so the ladies can let you know they have their eyes on you. Shoot your shot on the lassie who comes up in your My ‘Likes’ list.

We had minor beef with the messages we received. Most of the ladies insisted that we talk outside the website.  Even before we establish any rapport, they asked for our social media handles and personal email addresses. 

Since the website does not offer any verification feature, we found these messages quite suspicious. Divulging details may put our identities and privacy at risk. 

In situations like these, we recommend that you stay cautious. Don't hand out these personal details easily; get to know the person until you can ascertain that they're not, heaven forbid, scammers and identity thefts.

We did think of NewHoney's current messaging feature and concluded that it was quite limited. A voice mail or video chat are better alternatives to plain text messages.

The features to get in touch at NewHoney may not be as grand and creative. The lack of an open search feature may be a turnoff for some. 

Still, the lesser daily matches help you connect and establish rapport with other members. That way, you don’t get overwhelmed as you focus on today’s contacts alone.

NewHoney profiles may not be as long and detailed, but this gives you enough leverage to get a conversation going. 

Most of the information on your profile came from the registration process; this is because NewHoney uses this info to generate proposals for you.

If you want to fine-tune your profile and contact proposals, you can always edit your details. The following forms a member’s profile:

• Name and NewHoney Contact ID

Located at the upper left corner of your page is your name and assigned NewHoney contact ID. 

Since you are encouraged to use a screen name, it’s nice to note that you can modify yours should you want to reinvent your profile.

• Photo Gallery

Standard and paying users can upload five photos at NewHoney. For added protection, they can also set who can view their photos. 

Images will remain blurred until the user permits the viewer. If the member chose not to upload any photo, then their profile will feature a steamy stock photo.

• My Erotic Type and Erotic Gallery

Since NewHoney advocates wild and unattached hook-ups, members can define and show their erotic type. The Erotic Gallery showcases five visual representations of the user’s type.

• Interact Options

Right below the Erotic Gallery is the interact options a viewer can choose from:

1. Add to favourites
2. Show my photos
3. Report a member
4. Write a message

• About Me

The “About Me” section is located on the right side of a profile. It will display your answers from the registration process along with these additional questions: 

1. Body art
2. Education
3. Profession
4. Vices (drink, smoke)

The default answers are “Ask me personally” or “Rather not say.” If you choose to divulge the details from the get-go, edit and select from the categories and pre-composed answers.

• Personality and Attributes

This section will display the descriptors you used to define your characteristics. It will also include the three body parts of yours that you love the most. Like the other sections, you can revise these sections anytime.

• Desired Preferences and Encounters

The answers you chose on the latter part of the signup process—sexual preferences and what you love in a partner—will be displayed here.

• My Opinion On

This section will only appear once you participate in the NewHoney polls. Watch out for the Question of the Day on your conversations; queries will cover your opinions on your bedroom activities and potential partner’s character.

Gentlemen, listen up. Access to a member's full profile will require you to upgrade to a premium subscription.

NewHoney kept it simple with its features: for men, pick out which subscription period works best for you. Choose from the three options:

• 3-month Premium Start
• 6-month Premium Classic
• 12-month Premium Relax

For your convenience, NewHoney will automatically renew your membership at every end of each term. If you want to cancel it, you'll have to do so a full month before it expires. Otherwise, your account will be renewed. 

If you want to terminate your membership before the term, you may get in touch with Customer Service for faster action.

As it is 100% free for females, you might want to try out upgrading. Women may be more enticed to join NewHoney which means you get to fish around a bigger lake.
