Adults.co.uk is a dating site for consenting adults in the UK who want adult dating to feel grown-up: frank about sex, careful about consent and privacy, and courteous throughout. You must be 18 or over to join. The guides are written mainly for people in their thirties and beyond, though nobody over 18 is turned away for their age.
Who runs Adults.co.uk?
Adults.co.uk is run by Ambervine Inc, a Delaware company at 131 Continental Drive, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, USA. Membership is governed by the members-area terms, under Delaware law. Account and billing questions go to the members help centre.

Who it's for, and who it isn't
Adults.co.uk is for UK adults who know what they enjoy and like a proper conversation before anything else. Members tend to want something casual or regular, discreet and consensual, rather than a conventional relationship.
| It suits | It doesn't suit |
|---|---|
| Adults 18+ who want casual or regular adult dating | Anyone under 18, without exception |
| People happy to talk frankly about limits and safer sex | Anyone looking to pay, or be paid, for sex |
| Couples who have both agreed to meet others | Anyone whose partner hasn't agreed |
| People who value discretion and give it back | Anyone hoping to pressure, deceive or expose someone |
If you're new to it, the guides explain what to expect, from consent to a first meeting.
The house rules
Three principles run through the site and the guides. They describe how members are expected to behave, not a promise that everyone will.
- Consent, always. A clear yes, and anyone may change their mind at any point.
- Discretion, both ways. Treat other people's privacy as you'd want yours treated: no screenshots, no sharing, no gossip.
- Courtesy first. A proper hello comes before anything else.
Two parts: this website and the members area
This website holds the guides and information pages. The dating itself (your profile, browsing and messages) happens in the members area at members.adults.co.uk.
The members area is shared with partner sites in the same network. Members who join through any of those sites are in one database, so they can see and message each other, and each profile shows the site the member joined through. We say this plainly because it affects who can see you; our page on privacy and discretion explains what that means for your profile and photos.
What we check, and what we claim
Every photo is reviewed. ID and selfie checks are required for sign-ups through a VPN and for flagged accounts, and are otherwise an optional paid badge. What members write about themselves is not checked. The full picture is on profile checks.
Some things you won't find here, deliberately: member numbers, success stories, ratings badges, claims that profiles are "verified", or promises about who you'll meet. Earlier versions of this site said "we verify user profiles" without explaining what that meant; the profile checks page replaces it.
The address
The adults.co.uk address has a long history on the web, and the site at that address has looked very different over the years. This version was rebuilt in October 2026, with every guide written from scratch.
How the guides are written
Guides are written by the Adults.co.uk editorial team for readers, not search engines. Every external fact links to its primary source, such as a government department, regulator, NHS service or official helpline. Pages on the law are published only after specialist review. Our editorial policy explains the rules, and if you spot an error, the contact page says how to tell us.
