Dating apps aren't always the best place to find a hookup, but these options cut straight to the chase. Best dating and sex websites list where people are hooking up now:

Adult Friend Finder (Hookup and Dating)
Ashley Madison ( Personal Hookup and Dating)
No String Attached (Hookup and Dating)

Hookup culture and casual dating: Also known as the thing that has basically replaced real dating over the past 20 years or so, and the thing that your parents and grandparents bitch about because "nobody has a real conversation anymore."

We all know that's not true, however, and the glorious combo of online dating and dating apps has forever changed the way that singles connect. When we think dating sites, we usually think about the likes of eharmony and match and other marriage-minded options. But not every single person is trying to participate in the next cuffing season.

Sometimes, you just wanna get laid. Enter: The hookup app revolution.

Everyone gets stuck in a rut at some point, and let's face it, trying to take strangers home from the bar or constantly hitting up your ex who you know is DTF can get old. (Not to mention complicated.) But what are you supposed to do? Just ignore the fact that you're human?

It might be time to let a hookup app take the wheel. Apps specifically designed for hooking up operate on the philosophy that meeting someone special doesn't need to be a big complicated thing. Besides, sometimes it's just nice to feel those butterflies of meeting someone new — even if you know it's not going to lead to a relationship. (Is sexting more your thing? Try these.)

Some hookup apps can feel a little dirty, and not in a good way. If you want to at least know a bit about who you're getting naked with or you're more into a friends with benefits kind of situation, a mainstream app like Tinder or OkCupid might be more your speed. Just make sure to be upfront with your intentions to avoid any messiness or hurt feelings.

What makes a good hookup app?

When it comes to dating apps, you probably don't mind long questionnaires or in-depth profiles, but when you're just looking for a casual hookup, that all seems unnecessary. Sure, you want to gauge that you're at least a little compatible and not hooking up with a complete psychopath. The best hookup apps have quick and easy bios or prompts that give you an insight into who you'd be gettin' down and dirty with.

Photos are also a huge factor in good hookup apps. Some apps and dating sites gatekeep people's pics unless you have a paid subscription, and we don't really love that. Apps that show the full view of someone's profile are the way to go. You definitely want to make sure you're physically attracted to the person you're going to be having sex with.

Whether you want to pay for a hookup app or not is totally up to you, but we will say Tinder and Hinge have great free versions of the app. And you can likely find a hookup by the weekend without paying a cent.

Whether you're looking for some casual sex or are just looking to send some naughty photos back and forth, here are our picks for the best hookup apps right now:

Tinder may not want to advertise as such, but we all know what it's mostly used for. Yeah yeah, we know the amount of success stories of happy couples who met on Tinder is growing rapidly, but it's way easier to find a date for the night than it is to find someone looking for a long term relationship. Using Tinder for the latter includes deciding if you want to interact with someone based on nothing but profile pictures and a quote from The Office, so yeah, you can see how getting laid would be the main goal of most users.
