Unlike what you may see in movies or TV shows, you can't always just walk into a bar and ask someone for a threesome. You can, however, download threesome apps. Just like there are specific types of dating apps out there specifically for LGBTQ+ individuals or for those who are polyamorous, there are also dating apps for individuals looking for threesomes.
Because coordinating the logistics of how to have a threesome is hard enough, downloading one of these best threesome apps will likely save you a lot of time and effort — mainly because threesome apps open you up to finding like-minded people in your area more easily. Plus, using threesome apps could help you avoid any potential awkwardness that comes from testing your luck in real life.
Whether you're part of a couple seeking a third or you're single and looking for a plus two, we've compiled a list of the best threesome apps to download. All your horny desires await.
As with any dating app, it's important to protect yourself, as you can never be too sure who's on the other side of the phone. Before deciding to meet up with a match in person, make sure to do some background checking. Spend some time talking with the person you're connecting with to make sure your wants and interests are aligned.
When you're ready to meet them in real life, avoid a sexual setting right away. Experts recommend meeting for a cup of coffee (or anywhere in public) beforehand to feel out the situation before committing to anything sexual. This way, you can gauge the chemistry and decide if there's interest in exploring a threesome.
If all goes well and you'd like to explore the relationship sexually, discuss your boundaries beforehand. This includes your hard limits, safe word, interests, wants, needs, and more. For more guidance on how to specifically coordinate a threesome, read POPSUGAR's guide here.
Another thing to note: Some dating apps specific for threesomes may not have as many members as a non-specific dating app like Tinder. For that reason, know that if you don't live in a big city, you may have a hard time finding someone in your general vicinity on these apps. If a threesome app isn't working for you, don't be afraid to look for local fetish or kink-friendly Facebook groups in your area.
Lastly, know that you might be seen by people who know you on these apps. Of course, if your best friend's brother is also on the same threesome app, then at least you know you're both looking in the same direction. But if you're looking for some extra privacy or security, use a general dating app like Tinder instead. Once you match with someone, you can make it clear you want a threesome instead of being on an app specific for threesomes.
Bottom line: Threesomes are fun, kinky, and a great way to explore a new sexual dynamic. When using threesome apps, be smart, agree on what you'd like the threesome to look like, and you may just be in for the best sex of your life.
