Would you feel guilty if...

No way! I definitely need the money, and they offer the points system. It's not like I spam, I post plenty even after my limits are up, I actually enjoy the forums! So if they want to help a very poor girl out to get some extra kinky fun... I am very grateful, but not guilty and not gonna let that stop me.

I understand where you are coming from. I'm a full-time college student and I take care of kids so it IS hard, but I buy when I can. Those reviews, if done with all your effort are your way of paying for the toy. I don't just try and get things just to get them for free, I'm careful and choose accordingly. If I were ONLY doing it to get free toys I would feel guilty. As long as you are contributing and giving everything you can for the toy you recieve for free then you aren't stealing. I would never write a half ass review though. I think that would be a bit unfair if you always accepted the items then half assed your part. In the beginning I did a short review on my 1st toy because I didn't have the option when I did my first one. Now I always choose the extended version and give every detail I can. I use the toy at least 10 times before reviewing and forming an opinion. Like I said, do your part, make an effort and you shouldn't feel guilty. I would love to purchase more from EF but until I graduate my budget is low at the end of the month. As long as you're serious and you contribute in every way you can and you're in it for the long haul then you're conscious will be squeaky clean.

I dont feel guilty at all. Ive gotten 4 products on points and one for free so far, and ive given honest reviews, i participate in stuff in forums and i do alot to help the community. So i think its Edens way of saying thank you by giving gift cards and points to get free products.

I'm a little mixed. I think I'm hard-wired to get as much stuff for free as I can... However I do feel bad because it could end up costing the company money.

I never feel guilty. I'm broke myself, and I get my items for free via points and such. I wish I could give back to EF for being so awesome, but I don't have the money to give. I'm so grateful for the opportunities EF has given with the review program, edenpoints, and the affiliate program. Hell, they are giving me money! I couldn't do it without them.

No. I work hard to promote this site, and like you said, there wouldn't be a free point system if they didn't want us to make use of it. In any case, nothing I get here is completely free for me, as I have to pay 50% of their cost in taxes to rescue them from customs, even if I got it completely free, so... ^^U

I'd feel a little guilty, but the program is there to be used so I figure, why not?

why feel guilty , this is what the site is about. enjoy it

I think if you're willing to put in the effort to get the points, it should be okay. But I do buy things occasionally. The prices here are very reasonable and there's always something on sale.

I don't feel guilty because I buy more than I get for free.

I feel a little guilty but hardly. I do make an effort to get lots of points, but that is just to battle the cost of somethings. I like to order a few items on Eden rather than one or two at a time, and I take advantage of what is offered and give back with reviews and advertising.

I think it's nice that EF rewards us for being active and involved in their community. Plus, the points are super great for all the extremely high-end and expensive toys I lust after. X333 It makes them affordable to people who just can't drop 80-100 dollars on a really good clit vibe or what have you.

Lol your so sweet. But your a very active member and your contributions should be rewarded

I do feel pretty guilty. But I'm so broke. I'd never be able to buy anything without the help from points.

I don't feel guilty, because I'm contributing to the community and enjoying myself, and the points I earn are for helping build the community and improve service. Beyond that, the points system and review system have earned my loyalty, I recommend EF to everyone I know, and once I have income again, it'll still be my go-to for sex toys. (It's quicker to buy than to earn points.)

I think if you are an active member of the community then it all equals out!

Personally, pretty much the only reason I ever use money on here is because I get impatient.
I know that EF receives a lot of money from other people and therefore don't feel to bad when I deny them the payment for a $30 toy (that's about how long I'm able to make myself wait to save up points for). If I really had the patience, I would pay for everything I buy on here with points.

i don't feel guilty. obviously everything they offer on this site has some kind of incentive for them on their end as well, either with making the site more active and popular, or being able to show toy companies that THIS IS THE SITE YOU WANT YOUR STUFF SOLD ON. if we were breaking the bank, point climbing would be much slower, or worth less, or there would be more limits.

obviously, many limits have been set to prevent serious advantage being taken, but obviously things are working out well for them if this program is SO popular that it's making people feel guilty.

i try to do the best reviews i can in order to help the next person make a good decision on there purchase!

Don't feel guilty - your support and advertising and viewing of the site and being part of the community gives EF more than the value of the toys, I think.

Don't be guilty unless you're scamming someone to get free stuff.

Not really. i don't think they would have these 'scehemes' in place if they couldnt afford or were suffering as a buisness.. if they were in a poor sgtate i think the daily limit would either decrease to wittle down people or it would be abolished. and it takes a while to generate a big chunk to redeem - so essentially you are putting in quite a bit of time onto their site

Sometimes I do feel a bit guilty, but also I know how much time I spend on here writing reviews, mentoring, helping others and with the forums. I love this place and feel that it has been carefully put together so ..a)they do not have to pay reviewers cash, pay taxes on wages, etc. and b) it is a check and balance system. They get a full blog, review site and forums and we get products to fill the site and build it up. I love it, though nad am super grateful for everything we get from here!!!

I feel a little guilty but I feel guilty about everything. Ha ha. However, free assignments are in return for reviews so they're not really "free". And I make an effort to review everything I receive for free from points and otherwise. I've got a couple left to do, actually.

I do feel pretty guilty, even though I know I shouldn't because EF created this system for a reason and I go about everything honestly here. I am so so thankful to EF, because I literally would never be able to afford toys. All my income basically goes towards rent and food, but I try to give back to the community as much as possible and try to write great reviews on everything I get. I also tell my friends about EF if they are considering purchasing toys. If I get any christmas money this year I am going to spend it here!
