There’s no denying to the fact that hooking up has become easier since last couple years. Hookup apps are not only safe but also have judgment-free horny singles and swingers. Popular hookup sites are blessing because they allow you to flirt at any time, anywhere. You no longer religiously have to go out on weekends to find someone for a one night stand.
In a bar, or at a party, you might, at best, find a couple of hundred singles. Online, you’ll find thousands. So, while weekend nights are great for fun, you no longer have to feel the pressure of meeting someone special. You can do that from the comfort of your couch.
If you’re looking for singles who are DTF then there are solid Tinder alternatives. Especially if you have tried one of the lesser well-known dating apps and sites and realized it’s filled with bots and scams. Below we’ve listed best of best hookup apps, based on our personal experience, to help you find singles for casual sex.

DTF: 11 best Hookup Apps
Contents
1. DOWN
Down is a free hookup app for one-night stands and casual sex. To use Down app you have to log in using Facebook, they verify users (i.e. bots can’t become members), but keep all information completely private. Not even other users are able to contact you, unless you both like one another.
As Down doesn’t match you until you’ve both liked one another, the app ensures that no one will know you are interested unless they’re also interested in you. You can choose whether you want to get down with someone, or date someone. It makes it easy enough to figure out what someone wants from you before you even meet up.
This app has been around for many, many years and been written up about in several major magazines, plus it has over 5M members, so you know it’s not a scam. The downside is that compared to dating app like Tinder, there will be a lot less people using it.
Available on iPhone and Android
2. Happn
Happn connects you with the people you crossed paths with, and seize the opportunity. Happn is for you if you always wished there was a way to start talking with that really cute guy/gal you see every day on the bus, or at the gym, but don’t want to invade their space. Happn lets you see whenever you cross paths with other members using the app.
If you like a member you cross paths with, you can heart their profile. They won’t know you’ve hearted it unless they heart you too. That means there won’t be that awkward moment when you realize your friend just hearted your boss for you…unless they hearted you right back, that is.
It has 50M members (about 6.5M monthly active users). That’s ten times the amount of Down. And give it to the French — you finally can hook up with all those missed connections, whether you didn’t dare speak to them face-to-face, or simply missed them by a couple of minutes in your favorite bookstore.
You may come across 100s people on one single train journey in a city with millions as it will match you with people in your immediate proximity, not necessarily people you saw face to face as it can’t determine that.
It makes it a bit hard to go through all potential matches you come across in a bigger city to decide whom to heart.You also have to turn the app on and off so it doesn’t track you at all hours. Unless, of course, you want to be tracked at all hours.
Available on iPhone and Android
3. AshleyMadison
AshleyMadison is a popular hookup app for affairs and making friends with benefits. Ashley Madison is specifically designed for singles who are looking for hook-ups and extramarital affairs. Its easy to sign-up on Ashley Madison and they offer both mobile and desktop version of their app.
Ashley Madison has a great member base of 50 millions and gets 5 million unique active members every month which speaks for its popularity and authenticity. Everything is super easy, you can easily find new members near you, and see who’s been checking you out.
Once you join Ashley Madison, getting laid is very much guaranteed. You can view profile of members and send them a wink which essentially means you’re super interested in them.
Ashley Madison has been continuously working on removing fake profiles and frauds to make sure everyone gets the best possible user experience. Its app is very straight forward and easy to use, no complexity at all.
When you subscribe to their premium subscription plan then you would be able to send messages and do video calls with members. You can read the review by clicking here.
Available on iPhone and Android
4. AdultFriendFinder
AdultFriendFinder is a no strings attached app for hookups. Started in 1996, Adult Friend Finder was the first of its kind and pioneered the current casual online dating scene. When you sign-up for Adult Friend Finder, it’s almost impossible to walk about without getting laid.
Adult Friend Finder design and interface is very explicit visually because it is designed to set the mood of the users just right. However, their boldness and explicitness has resulted in their mobile app not being approved on Apple store and Play-store. However, their site is completely accessible and mobile-friendly which means you wont be missing on anything.
To get the full advantage, you’ve to pay for their premium membership. After all, all good things come with some price. In premium membership, you get to message girls, video chat with them, join sensual live webcams and participate in giveaways.
If you’re not willing to get premium membership, then chances of you hooking-up are pretty slim. You can read the review by clicking here.
Available on iPhone and Android
5. Tinder
Tinder is the most popular dating app for casual dating and hookups. With over 50M users and 26M matches a day (in 2018), Tinder has the kind of potential most other apps don’t: it has a ton of members. Tinder is usually the first app people turn to when looking for no-strings-attached sex for that very reason: it’s hard to find a city where people aren’t using Tinder.
Tinder verifies users via Facebook, which makes fake profiles less of a common problem. Surely, some people create a Facebook profile just to get a Tinder profile, but it takes a bit of work.
The downside with Tinder is that it’s not strictly for one thing or another. On Tinder, anything goes. You’ll find people looking for kinky sex, marriage, or a date for the night. Of course, it’s quite easy to vet people simply by asking what they are looking for, but there’s no saying they’ll be 100% honest.
As Tinder is the original casual dating app, you should definitively try it out. Just make sure to put a variety of different profile pics on there, as well as a short (funny) bio, as the competition is stiff.
Tinder is best when you first start using it as your profile will be pushed out to hundreds, if not thousands, of users, so make sure that profile of yours looks good from get go.

6. Casualx
Casualx is a sex app which makes it a lot more casual than Tinder. As mentioned, on Tinder anything goes. On Casualx people are, generally, looking for no strings attached relationships (NSA) or friends with benefits (FWB).
This is a free dating app for hookups, in whatever format. Couples who want to do some swinging can also be found on here, as can married people looking for affairs. Anything goes, so long as it’s consensual and legal.
Casualx goes as far as to allow you to create a secret album with sexy pictures that you can show your matches. Casualx is now KinkD for iPhone users.
Heads up! Popular Sexting Apps
What’s great about Casualx is that it’s legit. It’s not some random app filled with scammers — their team actively works to prevent it from happening. Of course, as with any app, you can’t be 100% assured you’ll never run into anyone with dodgy intentions, but at least they try to find the scammers in their midst. In fact, they approve all profiles manually!
Available on iPhone and Android
7. Pure
Pure is the best hookup app just for one-night stands. You aren’t even supposed to be looking for relationships on here. They also happen to take anonymity very seriously — they erase your profile within a couple of hours of you creating it. Yes, really. Why?
Because this app is for instant hookups. You’re meant to logon, put up a pic and make your pick (sorry I appear to be stuck in a pun state of mind). Basically, you are meant to upload a picture of yourself and use the next hour to find your date. After that everything gets erased.
This means you can quickly find people to have sexy conversations with, or simply meet up and have sex with. As with any dating app, you’re better safe than sorry: it’s good to meet in public first, but the intention with Pure is that you are going home with someone.
The anonymity side comes with a big perk as your boss is unlikely to find you on Pure, unless they too happen to be looking for a casual sex at exactly the same hour you are. Nor can any potential future employer find your profile while Googling your name.
You have no clue who’s on the other end. When you meet someone on Pure you don’t know who they are. When profiles are being erased at the speed of light, it’s not like a team has the time to go through each one. And due to the anonymity there is no connection to other social media networks. So, as already mentioned: meet them in public first.
Available on iPhone and Android
8. Whiplr
If ya wanna get spanked, or spank, Whiplr is the place to be.
Whiplr is a free hookup app if you’re looking for people with similar fetishes. With over 2M members, you’re bound to find someone into the same things you are!
Members, or “kinksters,” can search for others based on sex, distance, fetishes, etc. so it’s easy enough to find the right person who is also DTF. And unlike Tinder, you know this is about sex from the get-go. That’s not to say you can’t meet someone and fall in love (all the best plans are waylaid and all that jazz), but this is an app for people looking for kinky sex.
Apart form your profile pics, you can upload sexy photos of yourself and choose who sees them. You can also delete photos you’ve sent via messages, but of course people can do screen grabs, so don’t feel too safe sending sexy pics to strangers.
One great thing with Whiplr is that it offers icebreakers — lines you can use if you’re unsure of what to say to someone. We all know what it feels like coming up with the perfect conversation starter when we have a temporary brain freeze because the person we’re staring at on the screen is just too hot.
It can make the best of us tongue-tied. I write dating advice for a living and I’ve had moments when I’ve lost my marbles and forgotten every conversation starter I’ve ever come across. And let’s just say I’ve come across a few.
There are public groups within the app where you can talk to people about different topics. If you ever wanted to understand what Mr Grey was truly all about, then this is the place to start the research. You’ll meet everyone from novices to expert BDSM peeps.
Available on iPhone
9. Feeld
Ever wanted a threesome? There’s an app for finding that. No more fumbling in the dark when trying to figure out if some of your friends might be up for it. Feeld is also an app for anyone looking for kinky sex — you can be straight or gay, but whatever you are, you need to be open minded.
Feeld let’s you choose whether you’re two people looking for another one to join, or if you’re single looking for two other singles, or a couple. Makes it easy to find your perfect threesome!
Sometimes, looking at the apps today, you wonder what they’d have thought back in the seventies, or eighties if there was “an app for that.” Not to mention what people back in the 1700s would have said:
“So, Mr Darcy, how do you fancy a little romp with the chamber maid and Lady Austen?”
The ton would, most likely, have fainted had they known where society was heading. Back then you couldn’t even spend time alone with anyone of the opposite sex, these days you can use an app to find a threesome… The times most certainly have changed!
This app guarantees you interact with real humans. In other words: they’ve banned the bots. They also allow you to hide from Facebook friends. After all, it would be a bit weird if you found out your local librarian is looking for a threesome or some kinky sex behind the bookcases. Then again, if you aren’t friends on Facebook with your local librarian, maybe you’ll still find out about that.
Available on iPhone and Android
10. Tonight
For the New York crowd there’s a new app in town: Tonight. As the name implies, tonight is all about finding a date for the night. It simply finds you a match on nights when you’re looking for a date.
Tonight is a bit like Tinder in that it’s a mixed crowd: some people on there are looking for casual hookups, while others are after something a bit more serious. You have to make it clear what you are looking for, so as to avoid disappointment.
The whole idea behind Tonight is that you avoid people who will chat with you on and off for three weeks and then never meet up with you in real life. Anyone without the intention to meet up the very same night is not using Tonight. They’ll be on Tinder checking how may people are swiping right on them instead.
Available on iPhone
11. Grindr
Grindr is one of the most popular gay hookup apps. Created exclusively for the LGBT community, it’s one of the best within its niche. Grindr is all about finding people nearby — you can see exactly how far away people are, meaning you can go to a club and locate users in that club.
While Pure is all about finding someone fast as your profile will be erased, Grindr lets you customize your settings so that you find exactly what you’re looking for. While Grindr can be used for finding love, it’s really an app for hookups.
Many people don’t even show their faces on there — they are looking for conversations that get dirty fast. If you take offence to dirty talk, this is likely not the app for you. Again, remember safety first: meet in public before you take someone home.
These apps have made it possible to meet others for sexy conversations and real-life sex in a much more comfortable way than the days of “ads.” It’s also helpful if you don’t want to roam the clubs and bars looking for your next hookup. Even if you love the bar scene it’s nice to know that you don’t have to put all your hopes into one night of the week. It makes things a tad more relaxed, whether you’re looking for love or no-strings sex.

Inside Scoop: How To Get Over Someone You Hooked Up With?
Very nice list of hookup apps, but there are some more efficient & convenient apps such as Yumi, Lucky, Hud. The whiplr and grindr are the bdsm & gay niche dating app, not general hookup apps.
Maplefling.com is 100% fake profiles. Not ONE real one. You get hundreds of messages, and they’re all fakes.

Tinder is now quite not the same for me here in NewYork. AshleyMadison seems to be be the best here but I will test 2-3 apps more cause why not.
