Tinder Sex
Is Tinder just for sex dating?
Many people are a little scared by the sexual nature of Tinder and fear that by going on there, they are opening themselves up for potentially being judged and indicating a willingness to engage in one night stands. It is one of the great uncertainties of the Tinder experience: Is it predominantly about sex or do people use the app to look for serious long term relationships as well?
Tinder not the best place to look for sex
The truth is that Tinder Sex is something of an urban myth. There is a huge amount of ‘noise’ around Tinder’s potential to deliver one night stands, but in reality how often does a Tinder date lead to sex that night? Not that often. This is because Tinder has no pre-selecting criteria. The tinder brand does not mean sex or casual dating. It just means dating, and very often while messages of a sexual nature may be exchanged, little comes of it and Tinder turns into an app more about teasing than real sex
Tinder is not the place to go for causal sex
If you want to find a place that is really about casual dating, where everybody who registers is doing so because they are interested in one night stands or no-strings relationships, then you need to find brands that specifically target such a niche. Examples of such companies include C-date and BeNaughty. With these services you know the people you meet will be ‘up for it’ or ‘DTF’ and not just pretending.
Tinder sex is a myth?
Tinder sex can turn out to be something of a myth. There are several factors behind this. Firstly, the app started out as a very young and casual concept, used by twenty somethings to swap messages and pictures. These younger groups can get carried away with themselves online, but are often too coy to go through with their promises. This kind of set the tone for Tinder as a whole. Secondly, there are absolutely no additional information pointers on a Tinder profile to let you know how up for sex another member is (no box to tick to say that you are interested in more 'causal' dates). Thirdly, because of its close association with facebook, many customers feel anxious about their anonymity levels on Tinder. Sex dating for many requires total control and the ability to stay hidden for as long as you need to, not an app that - for example - takes your real age straight from FB, no edit allowed.
Tinder sex is a phenomena, but is it real?
Tinder sex has now become a phrase all of its own and in pub conversations it’s not uncommon to hear the words “I had tinder sex last night”. However, this could mean anything from a flirty chat message to the real thing. The very openness with which people talk about their Tinder sex experiences makes you wonder how serious a sex dating app it really is.
