The facts don't lie, 73 percent of people in 2021 wish they were having more spontaneous sex. It's no secret that the pandemic has made it hard to get laid. The libertine culture of going out, meeting someone, flirting, and going back to their place has been temporarily killed off by the pandemic, and safety regulations.
But surely it can't be impossible to hookup, can it?
If you find yourself asking this question, you're in luck. There are ways to have fun, spontaneous, mind-blowing sex amid the pandemic. They're just not happening in person.
In the 21st century, the whole world is moving onto the internet. You may be a post-humanist accelerationist who loves this, or you may be a Luddite who hates it. Either way, it's impossible to deny — if you want to find hookups in 2021, you have to find hookups online.
But the internet is a sea of people? How can I find hookups online?
We'll tell you. This article will walk you step by step through the best hookup sites to help you start your journey in finding hookups online.
Adult Friend Finder
While Tinder is the champion of description, Adult Friend Finder is your best option for finding hookups if you want sex and don't care who knows it. This app is unafraid of what it is and is another great option for anyone looking to find hookups. There are even softcore pornography clips playing on their homepage.
Advantages
The biggest advantage of Adult Friend Finder is the directness. The frankness and singularity of purpose make it very easy to find someone who's into something similar for you. It's also great for anyone who's specifically looking to sext, and not even meet up in person.
How To Rock It
Making Adult Friend Finder work for yourself isn't very hard. Ask for what you want in a way that's upfront, direct, but still courteous.
You don't want to come off as overbearing, but at the same time, don't worry about seeming like a pervert or a "creep". Everyone is on the app for the same purpose, so no one needs to be ashamed.
Tinder
Alright, look. We know that tinder is the biggest, most cliched dating app online. We also know that it doesn't advertise itself as a hookup app and that there are a ton of annoying relationship success stories online.
But tinder has an underbelly that not everyone knows about. Under the innocent exterior, tinder is the biggest — and perhaps most effective — hookup app on the market.
The fact that Tinder doesn't give too much information about a person, and let's snap decisions be made on whether someone is attractive or not, often makes it more conducive to hookups than to serious dating. Let's look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of Tinder as a hookup app.
Advantages
The biggest advantage of Tinder as a hookup app is discretion. Many people are searching for spontaneous sex, but consider it embarrassing to sign up for a sex-based online dating app. Because of this, they'll choose a middle ground and go for Tinder — a low-maintenance app the masquerades as a dating app, but is more useful for hookups.
Let's be honest here; we love Adult Friend Finder as much as the next person, but if your friends or even your mother takes a look at your phone and sees Adult Friend Finder, you're going to have to do some explaining. Having the Tinder app on your phone means you can search for sex as much as your hearts desire, but also write it off to friends and family as "just for fun", or "just looking for friends".
And because many people know about these advantages, they tie into the next most important advantage of Tinder — numbers. Hookups — as I'm sure you Don Juans already know — are largely a numbers game. Not everyone you meet is going to be attracted to you, and it is not okay to continue pursuing someone who isn't into you.
Because of this, it's important to approach a large number of people and see if they're interested. Tinder provides these large numbers of people. Not everyone will match you, not all of your matches will respond to you, and not all of the conversations will lead to actual hookups — but the high numbers of people on Tinder mean that if you try long enough, you will eventually find that hookup you're looking for.
How To Rock It
To rock Tinder, you're going to have to strike a perfect balance between directness and discretion. It's a lot like flirting — you have to find out a way of putting sex on the table without seeming too obvious.
If you're a woman or man seeking women, you're going to have to be a little more discreet. Choose classy pictures of yourself, that make you seem attractive, and maybe one slightly suggestive picture. Emphasize that you're just looking for something casual, that you like to have fun, and that you like someone who knows what she wants.
If you're a man or woman seeking a man, you can generally be more direct. You can probably go right out and say you're looking for hookups. Perhaps you can even put a few suggestive pictures and talk about what you're into sexually.
Get Laid Online
While online hookups aren't ideal for many people, they're a reality. Thankfully, there are options out there like Tinder and Adult Friend Finder, to help adventurous people like yourself get laid.
Consider how much effort you're willing to put in, what sort of people you want to meet, and exactly what you're looking for, stay safe, and have fun. Enjoy the brave new world of online hookups.
