10 Best Friends With Benefits Dating Apps and Websites In 2022

In 2022, more people will be looking to start relationships with friends with benefits than ever before. Here are the top 10 dating apps and websites for friends with benefits in 2022.

1) Her

HER is a free app that’s been around since 2011, though it recently rebranded. After an extensive 2017 overhaul, HER has shifted from focusing solely on lesbians to being open to all genders. It’s also grown its user base tremendously, boasting over 3 million users worldwide.

The way HER works is pretty simple: you create an account, set up your profile (which includes uploading photos), and browse through other users in your area or those you might be interested in meeting based on age range and location (HER, also allows you to search by sexuality). If someone catches your eye, you can send them a message.

If they respond, you can chat within the app itself or start setting updates via text messaging or phone calls if things go well! No matter what kind of relationship you’re looking for—casual dating or friends with benefits—HER makes it easy to find people who are into similar things as you are.

2) Bumble

This app may be best known as a bastion of feminism, where women hold all of the power to make or break conversations. While that aspect may not appeal to everyone, it’s worth noting that Bumble isn’t technically centered around friends with benefits relationships; instead, it just gives users some unique tools to help them find casual sex partners (mostly). Its founders have made it very clear that they aren’t interested in promoting casual sex. They aim to empower women while also discouraging both sexual harassment and slut-shaming. 

3) Pure

Launched in 2016, Pure is a 100% free dating app that promises fast swiping, instant matches, and convenient location-based matching. The digital age has transformed relationships across sectors, including those of no-strings-attached lovers. In addition to reaching more than 15 million users, Pure shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Of course, you have to pay for some features—namely unlimited swipes (or $9.99/month) to extend your membership beyond one month. New members are offered a seven-day free trial; it’s $9.99/month or $41.99/year, which seems like a small price to pay when considering how often you’ll likely use it over time!

4) Kind

Whether you’re looking to find new partners or new friends, Kinkd makes it easy to explore your kinks and interest. With advanced search features, users can quickly filter matches by age, location, kinks, fetishes, etc.

The app also provides an opportunity to chat with potential matches before connecting more intimately. Both iOS and Android users can download Kinkd for free via Google Play or Apple’s App Store.

5) FriendFinder-X

FriendFinder-X is a top-rated dating site designed exclusively for adults looking to hook up and find no strings attached sex near them. FriendFinder-X is home to over 8 million adulterers, swingers, and those simply looking to flirt.

It’s one of the world’s largest hookup sites. While many dating apps promise no strings attached fun, they don’t live up to their reputation in practice. FriendFinder—X is all about keeping things casual. Packed with nearly 300 million members worldwide (with 60 million right here in North America), FriendFinder-X makes finding friends or f*ck buddies easy.

6) Field

The field is a 3-year-old app launched as a dating app for couples looking to have an affair but has since focused on open relationships, including friends with benefits. It’s a pretty straightforward app that matches you based on location and lets you share pictures and texts.

If someone messages you back, you can choose whether or not to chat further by sending Flowers (Feeld lingo for swiping right) or Gifts (swiping left). You also have to include your relationship status on your profile. Hence, other users know what they’re getting into and their STD status.

7) AdultFriendFinder

As of 2018, AdultFriendFinder has over 30 million users. The site is by far one of the most popular hookup sites online. It also has a solid reputation among its users, who say that new members receive many winks and messages within 24 hours of joining. AFF is free to use, though it has VIP membership options available if you want something more exclusive.

Like other sites on our list, AdultFriendFinder offers location-based searching to help narrow down your potential hookups. You can find adult dating services online full of real profiles – not scammers or fake accounts – making it safe and easy to hook up with local singles looking for some fun tonight!

8) OkCupid

OkCupid, one of the online dating’s first power players, has been around since 2004. And while it might not be at its peak anymore, OkCupid is still a solid option for those who want more than just a hookup. The site lets you can either take a personality test or let their algorithm calculate your best match based on looking at your interests and lifestyle habits.

Additionally, you can specify what you’re looking for—from friendship to flings to long-term relationships—and create dating goals that help you track your search progress. With over 90 million active users, OkCupid makes it easy to find people worldwide looking to date or have fun.

9) Grindr

Grindr is a mobile app available on iOS and Android devices, created in 2009 to help gay men find other gay men for dating or friends. It uses a two-dimensional interface where users view profiles of other users within a certain radius of them. Profiles include height, weight, age, sex position preference, and text-entry boxes are provided to write additional descriptive information about oneself. The app functions most efficiently when location services are enabled on your mobile device.

10) Tinder

Tinder’s original hookup app is a tried-and-true favorite among my professional dating clients. With its propensity to match users who already know each other’s social media profiles, it makes sense that Tinder would be their top choice for friends with benefits. With about 50 million daily active users, Tinder’s enormous population of men and women in your age range makes it easy to connect quickly. For those of you not wanting to wait around—the swiping action is addictive!

Conclusion

With new apps and sites popping up every day, it’s challenging to separate healthy options from unhealthy ones.
