Are there apps just for sex specifically?

Asking because apps just for sex specifically keeps coming up and I still cannot get a straight answer. I do not need a feature list on apps sex — I need to know about the payoff.

I have tried a few options across casual platforms already and none of them stuck. The pattern I see with apps sex is that the return on the hours is fine early and degrades as you go.

If you have used apps sex, these are the bits I care about:

  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the apps sex pool near you is thin
  • Message within a day of matching — on apps sex that window closes fast
  • Turn off read receipts on apps sex if the time it costs is making you anxious about response times
  • Treat your first apps sex profile as a draft, because the return on the hours punishes lazy ones
  • Check what apps sex does about the hours-to-dates ratio before you upload anything you would not want indexed

Even a one-line answer on apps just for sex specifically would help at this point.

Not my read at all: for the members answering here, apps sex was the only thing that produced anything. Nobody warns you that the time it costs on apps sex scales with how many people are online at your hours.

For people who have actually tried it, the apps sex experience lives or dies on the hours-to-dates ratio and almost nothing else. Nobody warns you that the effort-to-result ratio on apps sex scales with how many people are online at your hours.

The short version for apps sex:

  • Treat your first apps sex profile as a draft, because actually getting anywhere punishes lazy ones
  • Check what apps sex does about actually getting anywhere before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Give apps sex a fortnight of daily use before calling the time it costs a dealbreaker
  • Compare apps sex against casual platforms on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless

One smaller option worth comparing on the effort-to-result ratio is Souldate — different pool, same free messaging as apps sex.

Not my read at all: for people who have actually tried it, apps sex was the only thing that produced anything. I judge apps sex by one thing now: whether the payoff improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

You can work around the hours-to-dates ratio on apps sex, but you have to be deliberate about it. I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across casual platforms, and apps sex sits mid-table.

Disagree, because blaming the payoff lets you off the hook — my apps sex results improved when my profile did.

The pattern I see with apps sex is that the hours-to-dates ratio is fine early and degrades as you go. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on apps sex than the sheer time it ate.

Victor_Phoenix put the apps sex case better than I would have, though that has not been my experience of apps sex, and I've used it longer than most people in this thread.

If actually getting anywhere is your main worry with apps sex, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

The other one I would try before giving up on apps sex is Datenest.

That feels too harsh on apps sex, given the hours-to-dates ratio is a problem across casual-first sites rather than specific to it. The pattern I see with apps sex is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.
