I don't know why this site has gotten good reviews - maybe they are fake. The sex scenes are glossy but so lifelessly fake they are unerotic. And it is almost impossible to cancel your subscription. You can't on the site, and it takes multiple emails to their host company.
I decided to start a 2-day trial membership. I checked out the site a little bit and it was ok, and I would have looked into other aspects of it to see if it was really for me until I saw that I was immediately charged twice for the 2-day trial. Then I looked to see if there was a way to manage my account while logged in and there isn't! I hate sites like this! There is no way within the site to easily see my profile, and most importantly, CANCEL. So I logged back out and checked the cancellation information provided on the main site. To cancel, you are directed to a very generic form in which at least three field of information must be completed and submitted to find the member. This external type of form seems very unsafe as the member must provide their username, PASSWORD and full CREDIT CARD NUMBER. Reluctantly I completed the form only to receive the error message: NO ACCOUNT FOUND BASED ON SUBMITTED INFORMATION. So again, another intentional roadblock to make it impossible to cancel. I have now emailed the company two days in a row and have not received a response. Now I am waiting on hold to speak to a customer service representative. I have been waiting for 45 minutes! Every thirty seconds or so, a recorded message states I may press 2 to receive a message, but guess what? That voicemail box is unable to receive messages at this time - so two more roadblocks: no way to leave a voicemail, and now I am sure the goal is to keep me waiting so long I eventually give up and then forget to call again. Meanwhile, I have paid $30 for about 20 minutes worth of content (which is not that great btw). I have literally never in my life signed up for an adult site before and now I am learning why. These sites are predatory and shady - I thought this one was different as it touts itself as ethical and for women, but it is not. It is scammy.
BTW, sitejabber asks its reviewers to submit a confirmation email showing proof of purchase but users of sssh.com do not receive a confirmation email of any kind - no welcome email, nothing.
I just answered Tim's question below, on how to contact Sssh and cancel his membership. Than I noticed that there are a handful of people (4 to be exact) complaining they could not find a way to cancel their membership either.
I hate to state the obvious, but Site Jabber has kindly provided everyone with Sssh's customer service phone number and email. The same phone number and email address that's on their site. Yet there are people here saying there is no way to contact them.
Just saying.
P.S. I personality have never had a problem reaching out to them, and I've been a repeat member for years.
Just emailed to cancel (more than 12 hours before trial ends). Will wait to see if all goes well. Will advise either way. Couldn't see a quick way to do it (on the iPad anyway).
30/8/15 Update - cancellation confirmed. So all good.
So, review of the site. Videos are good quality and definitely have a womanly vibe as they advertise. May go back and look again but still shopping around.
Love, love their movies. The site is very feature and content rich. Well worth the $20.
I did read the other reviews here, prior to joining. Here is my take away. Don't call a site a scam or rip-off because YOU DIDN'T READ.
I will be rejoining in the future.
I signed up for a 2 day trial for $4.95 and was charged $4.95 PLUS $19.95 for a months subscription. I emailed them hours ahead of the cut off time and was stilled. I'm filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and urge everyone else ripped off to file complaints too.
I saw this site on ABC Nightline and then read a bunch of stuff about it. I was intrigued I wanted to see exactly what "porn for women" or "female friendly porn" was and joined. I really liked the site. They seem to cater to a lot of different tastes and I found the site and content classy.
Bottom line, I felt like I got my money's worth and have actually joined a few times, most recently with my boyfriend.
Love this site its compelling and provocative.
This type of content is one of a kind. Only adult site that focuses on women and their sexuality. Great job!
To anyone saying they didn't understand how the rebill work, READ!
Its clearly marked on the site and on the join page. Had to call customer service for a question and she was so helpful. Highly recommend!
Love this site. Blethyn H. - Yes they rebill, but it is very clearly marked on the site and even in the email they sent me when I joined. I have been a member off and on for many years and have never had a problem with canceling, in fact I would say their customer service is superb, as I keep forgetting my login LOL
Ripoff. Sucks you into 1-month automatically renewing subscription when you do 2-day subscription. Refused to refund my money since I hadn't read the fine print, even though I never used part of the 1-month subscription.
I paid for the 48 hr trial membership and careful reminded myself to email my cancellation request prior to the deadline - two hours before, because I read a review that you had to be careful to cancel within that time period or would be automatically renewed. However, I received a confirmation that they had cancelled my request but my credit card was billed an additional $19.95 for another month membership. When I called their customer service department to point out the error, I was told that they did not receive my email until two hours AFTER my trial membership expired - even after I told them I had written proof at what time my email was sent out and stamped on their response. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with this site - scurrilous practices.
Sorry to hear you had a problem, Katie.
Just a few things to set the record straight:
Sssh is not a Scam site. We have been online since 1999 and are viewed as one of the most customer service oriented sites in the adult internet space.
As for the "2 hour" cancellation you mentioned:
Our VERY visible cancellation policy with regards to rebills state "If you purchase a trial membership for 2 days, your membership will automatically rebill at our monthly (30 day) rate of $19.95 and thereafter, unless notice is received from the Subscriber to terminate the subscription. Notice must be received 12 hours prior to the renewal date.” This is specifically for email cancellations.
However, there are other options that take place immediately which include phoning our 24x7 live customer support line for immediate service, and a link to a self-serve cancellation page located right under the “Join Now” button. There are no time constraints on these two options. Our phone number to cancel is on the tour of the website, the join page, the page prior to the join page and in the email you received immediately after you joined.
Best Regards,
Coleen at Sssh
So let me tell you my story about Sssh. Last year I had to cancel my membership for a couple of months as I could not afford it. I emailed them and was talking to someone named "Skye". I explained that I had to cancel until I was back on my feet again, but that I would be back as I was totally crushing on one of their male stars (Ryan Driller). Yes, I actually told her that. Anyway, she canceled the membership and life went on.
About a month later I got an email from Skye. She had seen Ryan and told him I was a fan. Attached was a short video of Ryan saying "Hi" to me and a scanned personalized message he wrote. Skye snail mailed me the note.
As far as I am concerned, they have the best customer service on the planet. Far above what I would have expected from any business. Remember, I was not even a member at the time.
Hats off to both Sssh, Skye and the rest of the staff, for an exceptional site and customer service. They made me feel like I mattered and they have won back a very loyal customer.
There is no link on there site to cancel and This company will charge your card 1 min after your 2 day sub is up. DO NOT SIGN UP THE SITE IS A JOKE, ITS BASICALLY JUST A BLOG. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
Hi Amanda,
I'm sorry you had a tough time locating a way to cancel your membership.
We do offer numerous options;
A live 24/7 customer support number
Automated links
We also accept cancelations from any email address on the site.
All these options are listed on the page prior to the join page, the join page itself right under the submit button (join now button), because it's the one place on the site that everyone has to go and in your email confirmation. I'm sorry you did not see them.
Yes we also have them in the Terms and Conditions, but we have found that people rarely read them, which is why we have it in so many places on the outside of the site.
As for the prompt billing, please realize our system is automated.
I'm not sure how to respond to us being a "scam". We have been in business since 1999, have won numerous awards and have been featured in the media.
We provide a feature rich website, that includes not only original movies, but also radio stations, a virtual world, original novels and stories and a host of other features.
I'm am truly sorry that you had such a bad experience. I guess the old adage is true, you can't please everyone.
If you would like to reach out to us, either via phone or email, we would be more then happy to give you 3 months free of charge.
Best Regards,
Coleen
My wife and I have joined this site many times. We both enjoy it. Very high quality movies. Great experience.
What a great site. Love their movies. Totally geared towards women
Answer: I know this is an old question but writing as a warning for others who come looking like I did today. The person who answered, Ursula, is dead wrong. First of all, users do not receive a confirmation email or even an emailed receipt. Secondly, there is no way to manage your account while logged in as a member. Yes, there's an email and a phone number to contact them. I have emailed them and I am still waiting to receive a response. As for calling, I am currently on hold with them and have been for an hour with no luck. Every thirty second or so, a message pops on saying I may press 2 to leave a detailed message but the first time I called and tried, I found out the voicemail box is not receiving messages - so now I am on terminal hold.
Sssh.com has a rating of 2.7 stars from 16 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Sssh.com ranks 79th among Teen Clothing sites.
Hi,
There is no fine print on the site. All our terms are either the same size font as what is displayed on the page or larger. For instance, on the join page on the left hand side, in a giant light pink box (so it stands out), in a font 4 -6 times larger then anything else on that page is a header that reads..."Please Remember..." It very clearly states that we rebill.
That same statement, along with numerous ways to cancel, including a live 24/7 customer service phone number, and automated link are located in numerous areas of the tour, including the email confirmation you received when you joined.
