Sex is a topic that’s often difficult to discuss. Whether you’re a teen trying to figure out how birth control works, or an older adult looking to spice up your relationship, it can be hard to find reliable information.
Sex is something everyone experiences, and everyone has their own opinion on what’s right and wrong about it. But as long as you’re having consensual sex with someone who wants it just as much as you do, there’s nothing wrong with doing what feels good!
There are many apps available for people of all ages who want to learn more about sex, whether they’re single or in a relationship. If you want to learn about STDs, or how your body works during sex, these apps will help answer any questions you might have about sex.

17 best sex apps to try for casual hookups
- Thursday
Sex apps: A woman on a sex app on her phone
How does Thursday work?
Perhaps surprisingly, Thursday only works on… yep, you guessed it, Thursdays. The new app, set to launch on 6th May in London and New York, is based around the premise that you should actually be having IRL dates, so only gives you a short but sweet 24 hours to chase those matches and arrange those dates.
It’s invite only, and according to the app, 110,000 lucky users are already signed up. Plus, catfishing is banned, and all users must be verified and prove their identify (with a passport or driver’s license scan) pre-joining.
Don’t worry if you don’t live in London or New York – the app will roll out to Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Liverpool, Glasgow and Dublin later in the month.
Why is it one of the best sex apps?
Well, it’s very talked about at the moment, semi-exclusive, and encourages you to get off your screen and spend more time actually out there dating… what’s not to like? Plus, they’re hosting members only events from the summer. Enjoy.
What reviews say:
Smudge897 says: “My kind of dating app! I’ve been using Thursday since it launched and I’m a big fan. The concept of the app really works for me and I’ve been on a few dates with matches from Thursday already. It’s great to cut the small talk and make plans off the bat, especially knowing that matches are expecting that.”
“Having been on it since the start, I can already see its growth and how the team are taking feedback on board and making improvements to the user experience. I’m excited to keep using Thursday and to see what comes from it!”

Sex apps: A woman on her sex app on her phone
How does Lover work?
Fun fact: 87% of people said they felt ‘greater sex life satisfaction’ having used Lover for just a week. Not bad. Lover promises to offer a science-based approach to sexual hiccups and issues and essentially acts as a personal sex therapist. Think research-based content and guides covering exactly what you’re keen explore sexually.
Why is it one of the best sex apps?

“I truly feel the positive possibilities about making amazing improvements and changes in my our sexual journey.”

- Ship
How does Ship work?
This is dating with a difference – instead of tirelessly swiping right, your friends do the hard work for you. All you have to do is decide whether or not the matches they’ve made on your behalf are up to scratch. You create a crew with your BFFs which opens a group chat and you pick the people that you think your pals would be suited to, and they do the same for you. You can chat privately in your crew, discuss potential matches, and share profiles of people who you want to set up.
Why is Ship one of the best sex apps?
It’s fairly new, so you might not find as many potential partners as the original apps – but give it time. The concept is fun and gives you the opportunity to match people you might not usually swipe right for.
What the reviews say?
Nickname EG says: “I’ve been in a relationship for a while and haven’t been on the apps. I love that I can now participate and swipe for my friends. If they ever incorporate the idea of finding friends I am totally in.”
“I do wish that friends could chat with the prospects. I’d like to be more hands on and groom some of these dudes (: My only complaint is that the profiles show how far away people are but not where they are located. My friend is moving to my city soon so I’d like to make sure the 60 mile away prospects are 60 miles in the correct direction!”

- Blendr
Sex apps: A woman wearing headphones stands on her phone
How does Blendr work?
Free for iPhone users, it asks to link to your Facebook to access your location, photos, interests, plus ‘friends’ who are signed up too. It links you up to singles who are up for sex in your postcode, but remember – the more info you put on about yourself, the more you can see about others.
Why is Blendr one of the best sex apps?
Popular with young professionals (we came across a mix of 20-something chefs, builders, students, musicians and lawyers) who aren’t shy when it comes to no-strings sex.
Get it now
What the reviews say:
Xiylo says: “I think the app has an awesome selection of gentleman looking to just be friendly but take care of business when the opportunity presents itself. I like the premium feature, but I felt I couldn’t stop the influx of people coming in and they start to increasingly get mad at me for not getting to them, but I have Ike over 99+ likes already. Really quick and easy place to find a good person. So far, I’ve met someone on here (only two days using the app, btw) and he turned out to be really nice. ❤️”
“Other than feeling overwhelmed by selection, this app is the most successful for me that I’ve ever used. Love this place. Oh my last complaint would be the messages they send out to the people who I like. I didn’t want to start a conversation the way they did, because I didn’t want to be authentic and respond to the bit question they asked an interest. But seriously, otherwise, really great app.”
- HUD
How does HUD work?
With a tag line like ‘why be limited to one option at a time’, you know what you’re getting with HUD. Join 9 million users on the casual dating app by linking your Facebook profile or mobile number and you’re off. No strings attached.
Why is HUD one of the best sex apps?
It’ll definitely help you on your no strings sex quest, but be warned – people can join anonymously, which does compromise the quality of people you’re meeting a little. Although their video chat does have an auto blur safety feature.
What the reviews say:
Ender5200 says: “So i’ve been using the app for about 2 months now on and off and it does what it is intended to do. so much better than all the other so called hookup apps… in fact i would go as far to say this is better than the pure app (if you know what that is). But it does have some draw backs. It has some great safety features to keep only the right people on the app, but that also means some people get permabanned for no reason and not told what they did wrong.”

- Disckreet
Sex apps: A woman on her phone texting a potential date
How does Disckreet work?
An app that keeps your naked photos, belfies, and sex videos safe and secure. You can only access the files if you and the other person(s) involved enter passwords. The idea behind this is that only you and your partner can watch your previous bedroom antics together.
Why is Disckreet one of the best sex apps?
Good for couples or f*** buddies who want to spice things up in a safe way. It’s a solution to revenge porn.
What the reviews say:
JassonOnin says: “Great idea but needs a few tweaks. I finally found an app that does private messaging through an app that seems to be secure and that only allows one on one conversations to avoid the dreaded “I accidentally messaged my mom scenario”.”
“I understand the concept is it is geared for people in relationships that could go south but narrowing its use too tightly will turn a lot of people off (This apps advertised functions are essentially telling you to download this app if you don’t belong in your current relationship and nobody will use it as it is explicitly telling the other person you don’t trust them), especially if they are in long term relationships or want to use the programs function for business.”
“I feel that if they were to focus more on trusting relationships by allowing an option to access to photos even without permission at all times. It feels too much like babysitting in the conversation.”

- Sexy Vibes
Sex apps: A woman on her phone
How does Sexy Vibes work?
An Android app that turns your phone into a vibrator. Yes, really. It can be controlled remotely by your partner, making even long distance hook-ups possible.
Why is Sexy Vibes one of the best sex apps?
Call us prudes, but we’re not keen on the thought of our phone (that goes so close to our face) being used as a sex toy.
What the reviews say:
D_Curman says: “Better than others. Good app but wish continuous vibration was included without purchase. Can’t turn off screen while using.”

- Pure
How does Pure work?
Great if you want to find no strings sex right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d prefer to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.
Why is Pure one of the best sex apps?
Great for privacy. Your photo and tagline are only displayed for an hour at a time, which also means you’d better move fast.
What the reviews say:
Keeley Bennett says: “Definitely the most female-empowering dating apps currently on the market.”
“I’m genuinely into one-night-stands – they’re just such an exciting thing to do – but I obviously want to have the highest level of security possible when looking for one. Neglected by many girls is data security and anonymity as well. There is no reason to share your social media profile, to share a lot of pictures and give out details on your life. Pure offers the ability to create chats which automatically delete themselves – you can video chat with virtual masks and you can activate the automatic destruction of pictures you send to someone after a fixed time frame.”
“It’s not pseudo-anonymity like Tinder or Lovoo, it goes much much deeper than that. This is why I recommend Pure for women looking to have a casual dating experience, as it’s the safest option out there right now. While there are certainly always “creeping” men on every app, Pure has a very responsive support team. Once when I used it, a guy brought up zoophilia. I connected with a support team member and received an answer within minutes. Five stars, I hope this start-up is going to bloom and stick to its core values.”

- 3Fun
If you’ve always wanted to try a threesome, the sex app 3Fun could help you meet your matches
How does 3Fun work?
3Fun recommends profiles based on the GPS and users’ preferences. If you want to like someone’s profile, you can tap the heart button. If you don’t like a profile, you can tap the “X” button. Whenever you like a profile and that person likes your profile, then you both become matched. It is Free to chat with your matches.
3Fun is mainly aimed at individuals looking for threesomes, and allows couples to chat synchronously from one account – If new users choose the ‘couple’ option when they initially create their 3Fun account, they will both be able to log in to that account from two different mobile devices and chat with others at the same time.
Why is 3Fun one of the best sex apps?
3Fun is the fastest-growing dating app in its field. Most of the important features are free. There are a lot of members using the app who are interested in these kinds of “three people” arrangements. The unique photo verification feature helps its users avoid meeting the fake and scammers. It previously had some data privacy issues, but a rep said to MC: “Since the app’s vulnerabilities were discovered in 2019, we’ve done a comprehensive overhaul of its security and safety features that fully protect user data from leaks, breaches, and vulnerabilities. It now has a Certificate of Penetration Testing, too.”
What the reviews say:
Nolank270 says: “Good looking people but missing a lot of features. The concept of 3Fun is great as a location based swipe app, and a good portion of the people are fairly attractive. However, there are some big holes in a few of the features.”
“One of the biggest needs is to be able to sort and search messages and matches. For example, we traveled to Portland recently, then Dallas, and now back to Florida, but our matches and messages are all jumbled up and it’s cumbersome to sift through them to find who is currently local. What happens when we are back in Portland? How do we then sift back through the hundreds of matches? Suggestion – make the match / message list searchable for terms and other info AND sortable to location, status, etc. It would instantly make this app more usable to actually meet others.”

- Feeld (otherwise known as Thrinder)
Sex apps: A woman lies on her sofa scrolling a sex app
How does Feeld work?
Always wanted a threesome but never known where to find that special (extra) someone? Well, just like 3Fun, Feeld is a dating app to help you out. Feeld works much like Tinder; log on through Facebook (there’s an option to change your name), choose the composition of your group (2+1, or 1+1+1) and swipe through hundreds of potential matches in your area.
Why is Feeld one of the best sex apps?
This app has the ease of tinder, and much like that, most of the fun lies in the swiping. Once you’ve matched, how things proceed is up to you. Just remember to keep your friends informed of your whereabouts – taking extra precaution when meeting strangers is always advised.
What the reviews say:
FM_M says: “It’s better than most apps, particularly if you’re LGBTQ+, queer, neurodivergent, kinky, and/or poly. There’s more space here for different loving, and if you fall under that umbrella, it’s really refreshing.”
“Their paid tier (“majestic”) gives you one free ping (a way to connect with other members) per day, and having that daily ping refresh and be available to use has, for me, been really spotty. They say they’re working on it, but it’s been a while and it’s still an issue. Hopefully they’ll get that fixed one of these days

cobble app

Tinder, meet existing couples! Take the ease and fun of swiping through potential matches on Tinder and turn that into a new way to find new date ideas that both partners will enjoy. Swipe right on any date idea that you find intriguing and if your partner also swipes right, it’s a date!
Whether you live in New York City or just happen to be visiting, there is a lot to do. Cobble takes out some of the guesswork in narrowing down a suitable date night by presenting simple cards of outstanding curated for you and your special someone. Ideas include restaurants, bars, clubs, and special events. In total there are more than 3,000 curated suggestions.
Cobble further assists couples by helping schedule the night out. The app aids by allowing you to make reservations and buy tickets for whatever it is you have planned. Swiping can be addicting and you’ll have a slew of matched ideas in no time. Filter those date ideas by category, where they are, when they are, and cost.

In an attempt to pivot during the pandemic, Cobble has started including new date ideas that you can do from home. There are new categories for movies and TV shows, cooking and baking, takeout or delivery, home activities, and virtual events. Now being stuck at home won’t limit your ability to be romantic.
The only problem with Cobble is that it is limited at the moment to NYC! If you’re outside of the Big Apple, keep an eye on this one as it expands to additional markets.
Merge App
MERGE – SHARE TASKS, STAY ORGANIZED
Married a month or a happy couple for a decade, there are always shared tasks that need to be managed between the two of you. I know with my wife we are always trying to stay on top of things like the grocery list or chores around the house. Merge is an app for couples that takes aims to take the stress of these common issues.
Any iPhone comes with the default Reminders and Notes apps which, it’s true, can be shared with other people. But they aren’t even close to being optimized for couples. Merge absolutely is.
Any list or tasks you share, add them to Merge. Grocery lists, household chores, errands to run, dinner orders, and more can be added. Any item or task on the list can be assigned to a specific partner (or marked as “shared”) and further details can be added or clarified. Not sure what bagel your wife wants you to get? Just ask within the app and she can add the specificity needed.
Other users include the ability to vote on preferences or the ability to set reminders for bill payments that are coming due.
All lists that you’ve created can be filtered and sorted with just a tap. Show only the tasks assigned to you, produce all bills that are coming due, or narrow it to just your current shopping lists.
It’s all easy to do and works across your iPhone and iPad so you’re both always up to date, regardless of the device you use. Use Merge and never argue who forgot to take the trash out again!
Kukini app
KUKINI – AN ORGANIZER FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Merge is fantastic for couples but Kukini is an exceptional option when that couple turns into a whole family. Kukini can handle your shared tasks but it also includes activities, a shared calendar, health tracking, and a meal planner.
This app crushes it at family planning. Not… planning to have a family but planning what everyone is doing and keep track of it all. It is no easy task but Kukini manages just that. The home view gives you a great summary with a list of today’s reminders, activities, food, etc that you have planned. That sits just below additional summaries of your to-dos, your shopping lists, and your activities. It’s a perfect way to take in your day.
Going into the calendar you get a much more itemized view of each day and who it involves. Does your partner have a doctor’s appointment? Does your kiddo need to take a pill? Does your oldest have soccer practice at the high school? All of this is on display and who’s responsible. They even get tagged by color based on what it is (food, activity, medicine) and who it includes. This is far more granular than a simple shared calendar.
Meal planning is also a unique feature to tout. Set specific breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners for the whole family or by person. I’m also loving the health tracking. You can input
when someone has a fever and how high, how much medicine someone took (or needs to take), how much formula your baby drank, or how long your toddler napped.
The app goes further with shopping lists, reminders, dark mode, and even in-app messaging. There is so much functionality here that it will make family life easier, and make your relationship better because of that.

between app
BETWEEN – A PRIVATE MESSAGING APP FOR COUPLES
Cutesy alert! Between is an app that loves to brag how much it is loved by couples. Keep track of special occasions, send private messages, and cover your pics in tons of animated gifs and stickers.
