Adult FriendFinder (AFF) is an internet-based, adult-oriented social network, online dating service and swinger personals community website. It allows members to interact online, meet new friends, and seek out likeminded sex partners. The site was founded by Andrew Conru in 1996. AFF ranks among the 100 most popular sites in the United States and is a major competitor to leading personals sites such as Match.com. ==History== In 1994, Andrew Conru created the first online dating site, WebPersonals. After selling that site in 1995, he launched FriendFinder.com, an early social networking site intended to help people connect with likeminded activity partners, in 1996. Days after the site went live, Conru found that people were posting naked pictures of themselves and seeking partners for adult-oriented activities. As a result, Conru started Adult FriendFinder. FriendFinder has since established numerous niche dating sites, including Senior FriendFinder, Amigos.com, BigChurch.com, and Alt.com. The parent company (Various, Inc.) had difficulty finding venture capital due to the adult nature of its signature property. In December 2007, the company was sold to the Penthouse Media Group for $500 million.〔 〕 Penthouse later changed its name to FriendFinder Networks. On September 17, 2013, the parent company FriendFinder Networks Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In December 2013, FriendFinder Networks emerged from bankruptcy protection with reorganization in effect. Founder Andrew Conru gained control of the company and serves as CEO. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adult FriendFinder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
