Sometimes you want to find lasting love, and sometimes you want to find some short-term thrills.

If that’s you right now, maybe it’s because you just got out of a long, serious relationship, and you’re in the mood for a one-night stand to help you put your breakup in the rearview mirror. Maybe you’ve been working yourself ragged at the office, too busy with other aspects of life to be a good partner to anyone, but you don’t want to sacrifice every aspect of dating. 

Regardless, you shouldn't feel guilty for your decision. It’s true that being a partner, boyfriend or husband can be deeply fulfilling, but if you’re not ready for it, no one can force you to be. The truth of the matter? There are lots of people out there more than willing to get involved in some no-strings-attached action with you. Despite any hesitation, you’re far from the only one who’s looking to only hook up. On that note, welcome to the wide world of online hookup sites and apps.

These sexy (and sometimes X-rated) sites and apps have a different tone and approach from traditional dating services by bringing together open-minded types who are specifically interested casual relationships. While it might raise the eyebrow of your grandparents or that overly conservative cousin you hardly ever see, more and more people are adopting a casual mindset toward dating. Think about the rise of blockbuster movies and television shows that portray friends-with-benefits arrangements sympathetically, along with the growing use of terms like "f**k buddy." It becomes clear that attitudes towards one-night stands, casual dating and even the whole "sugar daddy" concept are shifting.

If you find yourself a tad nervous about signing up for an app that allows you to explore your kinks and fetishes (or even your sexual orientation), remember to only do what you’re comfortable with. You don't have to link your Instagram account, for example, or make yourself discoverable to mutual friends. Depending on your level of curiosity, you might explore what turns you on by talking about it online, or in person, with others who are just as curious. 

If you're wondering why you should focus attention on apps specific to hooking up, that's an easy one. Given your no-doubt busy work schedule, dedication to your fitness routine and hope of keeping a social life alive, spending time on other online dating sites means you’ll have to sort through more matches who are looking for something significant when you aren’t. By using hookup sites and apps, you avoid wasting each other's time.

When you’re ready to find the right app or site for you, it’s vital to settle on an option that genuinely fits your personality. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of hookup sites and apps out there, from sketchy as hell to secure as a locked safe. If you really want to get the best bang for your buck, you should be looking for a site that genuinely caters to people like you, and who are also looking for what you’re looking for (in this case, casual, string-free sex). Ideally, you’ll be signing up for a site or app that’ll give you access to a plethora of fellow horny hookup-seekers without compromising your privacy or safety in any way.

If, for one reason or another, you don’t have the time or energy to go over what’s every single site and app out there has to offer, we’ve done just that already so you don’t have to. From the internationally acclaimed FriendFinderX to the X-rated AdultFriendFinder, the experience they provide is better than you might expect. 

Click below to see our 10 picks for the top hookup sites and apps on the market. They’ve been thoroughly tested, so you don’t need to go any further than these top-notch options.
