Sites For Swingers You Should Consider (In 2019)

For some people, the idea of bringing multiple partners into the bedroom still seems too taboo to try. But a large portion of individuals and couples in 2019 are opening up to the idea of a sex life that’s a little more…interesting than their peers.

The Swinger Websites Of 2019 (Full List Below)

Part of the reason for this is the sheer explosion of technological advancement over the last 20 years. The World Wide Web has become a refuge for people who have often felt like their sexual needs weren’t being met. This has led to entire communities springing up, where folks can express themselves without fear of judgment or retribution. Suddenly, the idea of multiple partners seemed somehow more approachable for the average person.

Due to this, in the last decade, there’s been a huge rise in apps and websites dedicated to helping group-minded individuals make the type of connections they crave. This is why I decided to put together a list of some of the best swinging and hookup apps I’ve come across.

Adult Friend Finder

The first site I decided to put on this list was the Adult Friend Finder site. AFF is one of the biggest swinging/hookup apps on the market, taking over much of the market space since its inception in 2011.

The signup process for Adult Friend Finder is pretty standard, with questions based around things like your gender, age, and list of preferences. You can even add facts like whether you’re in a relationship, looking for couples, etc. After giving a general location, you’re all set to start enhancing your love life.

What I like best about Adult Friend Finder is that that they offer availability on all mobile platforms, which makes it super simple to continue conversations on the go. The mobile app is pretty seamless too, and I’ve never had any issues.

Fling

It should come as no surprise that the one and only Fling.com made the list. They’ve been turning heads for years and today is no surprise. Fling is meant for helping people have flings. Some of those “Fling things” is hooking up with multiple partners at the same time. Shocker huh? I didn’t think so.

At any rate, this network made the list because it’s just great and a solid member of the swinger line up. If you’re looking to have three people, perhaps five people in an all-out orgy, then you can do so in a matter of hours typically here.

Joining is a piece of cake and the app/site is simple to use as well. Give it a shot and you will not be disappointed.

Lucky

Lucky made this list for a few reasons, but mostly due to its novel, completely anonymous approach to hooking up.

One possible downside for some is that Lucky is 100% local, meaning you aren’t going to be finding connections across state lines. Instead, Lucky wants to make sure that whatever connections you make on their site are close enough to be accessible the same evening.

Signup is (obviously) pretty stripped down, entering just a few simple responses to the typical set of questions before being let loose on their profile browser.

Lucky is the “same-day shipping” of the hookup world, and I couldn’t love it more. My experiences with their mobile applications have always been consistent, and I appreciate that even the mobile version of Lucky is super careful about what sort of information it collects from your phone.

If you’re the type of individual or couple who likes to be spontaneous and have risque adventures, I think Lucky would probably be the perfect fit for you.

SDC

SDC is short for the phrase “Seek, Discover, Create,” and has been a contender in the online swinger scene for over a decade.

The reason I like this site is that it keeps things simple. SDC has been providing an online forum for swingers for a very long time, and have perfected their chat functions over several years to include a ton of features. You can send video messages and see when members are online, along with a bunch of other options to keep the chat spicy.

More recently, they’ve made the leap into the mobile sphere, releasing apps for both iOS and Android. Since a lot of what makes SDC great is tied to their chat applications, I think this was a wise choice. This way users aren’t forced to share personal information with strangers before meeting up, something I always try to avoid.

Due to the sheer amount of chat features, along with a simple-to-use interface and dependable functionality, I think you could do a heck of a lot worse than SDC.

Feel’d

Feeld aka Feel’d made this list due to it’s a unique approach to swinging. The site was designed with the idea of group sex in mind, but how they enhance the search is by being able to tie multiple accounts together. This means that if you’re looking for three people to meet up with, you can specifically find groups of 3 who have actively been searching for their 4th.

It really doesn’t get a lot easier than this, and that’s not all Field brings to the table. They also offer a lot of the same anonymity filters and features that Lucky does, something that really enhanced the overall safety of using the site.

My partner and I have used Feeld quite a bit, landing ourselves in quite a few hot situations over the past year. Do yourself a favor and get the mobile app, because you need to see this one for yourself.

Mixxxer

I have to admit; I was on the fence whether or not I should include Mixxxer in this list, as it’s had quite a few problems over the years. But throughout the past eight months or so, Mixxxr has been completely overhauling their mobile app and site, focusing a lot more on their pro-LGBTQ+ policies and mindset. While this site is for folks from all walks of life, they have been making huge effort to promote this inclusive attitude.

There aren’t too many hookup/swinging companies that stand behind this sort of altruism, which made me want to look past their technical issues.

While Mixxxer isn’t for everyone, it provides a bit of a different experience than the more traditional offerings, so I definitely think you should give it a try if you’re willing to do so. However, I cannot guarantee that this will work for you. There are many folks out there that have bad things to say about this app and that’s just how the cookies crumble, sorry I’m honest!

3Fun

Safety is the name of the game on 3Fun, which means that signup is a bit of a pain. You’re forced to confirm your identity in several different ways, including email and phone verifications.

The mobile apps are nothing area where 3Fun shines, thanks to their designers being first and foremost focused on the ability to evade hackers and spam. They use face recognition software to verify all uploaded photos, which all but eliminates fake profile scams. You can also choose different privacy levels for your photo albums, something I always like having the option to do.

Honestly, other than their hardcore security, 3Fun is a pretty typical swinger site. But if you’re the cautious type, it may be the perfect choice for you.

Open Minded

Open Minded is dedicated to unleashing your inner freak, and they do a great job of it.

Even during the signup process, you’ll be confronted with a surprising amount of questions not seen on other sites. I refuse to wreck the surprise for you, but let’s just say that they want to know what kinds of food you like to be covered in!

I love sites that are sex-positive, especially regarding the…less traveled sexual roads. That’s why I endorse Open Minded, and why it caps this list.

Oh, and here’s a clip from the Swingers (1996) movie…

Now, if you’re looking for simply the ultimate dating apps list (something for everyone) then you’ll want to give this article a read. You’ll find something there if you’re not happy with the list I’ve just presented to you.

Mobile Dating App Alternatives To Using Tinder

Some people only try what the masses adopt, which is why many people have only used Tinder. However, I’ll be the first to say that this is a huge mistake. In the modern age, you rarely hear couples talk about meeting on accident anymore. Instead, we’ve entered the age of online dating, which has completely changed the way humans “do their business,” so to speak. And this hasn’t just impacted people looking for a long-term connection, but the more casual daters as well.

Since there’s a million different hookup dating sites and apps on the web these days, it’s hard to not come across what you’re looking for. But without some guidance, it can be pretty intimidating trying to sort through the multitude of apps out there. Some apps may be providing the kind of experiences that would completely turn you off.

Recommended Alternatives To The Tinder Dating App

Since it’s kind of intense for folks just getting into Tinder-esque hookup apps, I decided to put together an overview of a few of these Tinder alternatives currently out. I’ve kept their details to a minimum so that you can get the important facts about these products, and make your choice without confusion or frustration.

1) Fling

The Fling.com network has easily been the number one network for hookups that’s most closely related to Tinder that I’ve ever used in my entire life. Having spent more than a year using this site/app, I can confidently say that it’s a winner and a half. Everything is effortless down to the signup process, messaging, hooking up, and more.

They’ve got the best support team on the planet too. Do yourself a favor and try this one out for free.

2) Lucky

Lucky has been out for a year or so and has really been making waves on the casual dating scene thanks to its focus on anonymity. Signup includes having to take a selfie at the moment, after which they use facial recognition software to verify any photo uploads you make.

This is pretty awesome, and something I haven’t ever seen on a dating app. The other feature I really like about Lucky is their 24/7 help chat. I had a few moments of befuddlement when I first downloaded the app, but their responses were always pretty fast, and they got me back online in no time.

3) Bumble

I really enjoy Bumble, because I like strong, assertive women. Bumble is an app a lot like Tinder, except the women are in control of the communication. Unless they message you first, the most you’ll be able to do is browse their profile.

Equality is awesome, and Bumble puts women squarely in the driver’s seat, something I think is pretty neat. Even if you get the occasional match who never reaches out, that’s life, I suppose.

4) Down

Down is great because it keeps things simple, which is how I like my hookups to be. You find your matches in much the same way you do on Tinder, expect once you’ve matched with someone, you’ll be presented with a second swipe option, up or down. If you swipe up, you’re asking them to meet for a date. If you decide to swipe down, you’ll be merely propositioning them for casual sex, nothing more.

I like that they made this part of the app so black & white because you know exactly what you’ll be getting into. The second perk with using Down is that it’s partially meant for people who meet in public by chance. There’s a feature here where you can instantly connect with the person you’ve met in real life. I like this part in particular because it really maximizes your chances of making casual sex happen.

5) Hot or Not

What caught my attention about Hot or Not is that it doesn’t kill the romance instead of practicality. Instead, this is a much more playful app, where users browse through profiles to rate the attractiveness of people.

What’s also great about this is that you can change your “what I’m looking for” answer in your profile, after which an entirely new set of features will be at your disposal. I appreciate that Hot or Not made efforts to keep things light and flirty, which sometimes can really increase the strength of connections you’ll make as you swipe.

6) Feeld

So Feeld is almost identical to Tinder, save for one particular change: it caters to those looking specifically for group sex.

Don’t be mistaken, Feeld is still 100% suitable for those who want to meet single individuals, but there’s a completely different side to the app that’s been specifically designed for threesomes, etc.

The other part I think makes Feeld a real contender is their focus on security and privacy. Much like Lucky, they use facial recognition software to make sure that you’re not trying to create a falsified profile.

7) Zoosk

Zooks is built for the indecisive, which makes it a bit of a fun app to play with. Even during your profile set up on the app, Zoosk makes it clear that they offer no guarantees outside of the ability to swipe and chat.

This is because Zoosk is primarily focused on a fun and relaxing experience, without the high stakes “will she or won’t she” moments that you may get with apps like Tinder or Lucky. They’re also very serious about their user’s data being kept safe. If you’re curious, there’s an exhaustive amount of text about their methods in the Zoosk FAQ.

8) Happn

Rounding out the list is Happn, an app that I included because it’s really brought an interesting new batch of features to the hookup scene.

Simply put, Happn is for those moments on the street when you can’t look away from someone. Occasionally, you’ll be lucky enough to have that person staring back at you with similar thoughts, but it usually ends there.

With this one, you don’t have to suffer through the what ifs, because you can literally GPS tag your location on a map inside of the mobile app. After you post, you’ll be asked to fill out a description of who you saw, what they were wearing, etc.

If they tag themselves and describe you, Happn’s moderators will then connect your stories in the app. This is where the swiping comes in, as you can pour through these stories until you find your own missed connection.

I’ve never seen this before, but it really makes things a little more interesting. You could see a ten walk by and be chatting with them mere moments later.

Now, if you’re ready to take the plunge and try one of these apps, then I sincerely suggest reading this page before taking any action.

SPDate App Review Reveals All

In 2019, it’s not hard to find a dating app or hook up website that claims to almost instantly connect you to other like-minded singles. However, when folks attempt to find an instant connection through one of these sites, they’re almost always met with frustration and a lack of success. I myself have even occasionally had to struggle through a site that doesn’t promise what it offers.

SPDate caught my attention for this very same set of reasons, as it claims to have an over 98% connection rate for its users. In addition to its claims of robust security and loads of features, I decided it was time to give SPDate a try.

My Review of SPDate (Find Out The Truth)

Upon typing in the web address, I was surprised to be instantly redirected to another site. However, SPDate claims that this is done as their #1 step in ID verification, so I would reserve judgment on this particular…quirk.

Registration

Getting started on SPDate is pretty average, beginning with a prompt to enter a valid email address. Once verified, you’ll then create a password for the site. After that, I’ll be free to begin browsing user profiles. I should note that while you can get away with browsing without completing your profile, you won’t have access to any of the higher tier options until you’ve finished your profile.

High-Level Member Security & Fraud Protection

Something I’d like to focus on here is the profile completion, as its more than just a gateway into SPDate’s full functionality. Rather, the profile completion acts as an additional security step, both for you and other users.

When you click on the prompts that SPDate gives you to finish setting things up, you’ll be redirected to your profile creation dashboard. Here, you’ll see a list of standard questions like sex, locations, etc. But below this, you’ll see that the site actually asks for your date of birth, as well as your social security number. These are then used to verify that you’re who you say you are.

I absolutely love this approach for a few reasons. Firstly, asking for critical details like your social makes it much less likely that spambots or hackers will be creating in-depth profiles on SPDate, as they most typically don’t have those kinds of legitimate details.

Secondly, it verifies that the people you’re connecting with aren’t trying to catfish you. As SPDate is entirely free of charge, it could potentially attract some less-than-stellar individuals, but with these additional security features, you can rest assured that you’re almost always connecting with another human being.

Customer Support & FAQ

Something that I was very impressed by was SPDate’s exceptional customer support. While I experienced the disconnection issue mentioned above several times during my weeklong experience, I must say that the responses I received during each error call were articulate, friendly, and always left me back on the site, right where I left off.

SPDate has taken an aggressive stance to its tech support over the past few years, and this is due in no little part to its history as a, shall we say “glitchy” website. Prior to 2015, the reviews for SPDate are filled to the brim with negative experiences, almost all of them related to getting logged out without trying, 404 error pages, etc.

So, in early 2015 SPDate hired a third party web design & logistics company to help them repair the components of the site that were faulty, while also acting as defacto tech support for the site.

While I can certainly say that I wasn’t thrilled to experience these issues, they were met every time with a proper explanation, as well as a solution to my dilemma. This shows me that SPDate is still just as concerned with fluid user experience as they were when their efforts began.

Taking It To The Streets

After getting a good feel for SPDate’s offerings, it was next time to try out their mobile app. I gave this app a shot on both iOS and Android platforms and was pleasantly surprised. Just about everything that I found on the desktop site was available on my phone, albeit in a compressed form. But while SPDate offers this application for both types of phones, the Apple crowd will have a slightly better experience, thanks to some newly added features.

The first of these is called “Why Type?” and it works sort of like a cross between a video message and a “like” that you would commonly see on a site like Facebook. The member profiles on SPDate function a lot like other social media profiles in that users can leave statuses. If you’re looking to comment on one of these statuses, you can use the “Why Type?” feature to instead leave a video response.

The second and more exciting feature is called “Track Me Down,” and works as a sort of last-minute date connection. Users can opt into this function, after which they’ll be asked their plans for the night. If they follow this to completion, their profile will then be temporarily put into the TMD database.

Here, other individuals looking for a date that evening in their town can look to see if anyone is open to a last-minute connection. You can find out where they’ll be hanging out and then send a request to see if you can meet up.

While I’m not sure exactly how safe this function is, it’s a novel and fun approach to a dating/hookup website, and something I used quite successfully during my trial.

My (Avg. User) Results

I was surprised by SPDate. I must say, I was skeptical going into this review. A free site that promises (sometimes) same-day connections? It had to be good to be true.

However, while the technical issues I experienced were frustrating, they did little to tarnish a site that clearly has a lot of thought and effort behind it. SPDate.com offers typical date site functionality while at the same time going above and beyond in terms of functionality and support.

When paired with the added features offered by the mobile app, I have to admit that users could do much worse than a site like SPDate.

Would I recommend using it above all others? I think not! However, it’s definitely better than some of those shady dating apps or even worse, streetwalkers, out there today.

If you’re wondering whether or not I put it in my top 5 apps list, then you can stop because I definitely did not. But it may be worth giving a shot if you’ve got patience. The choice is yours…
